https://twitter.com/virgiltexas/status/877389756979695616 Hello everyone and welcome to another roaring episode of "Democrats keep losing to people with 30% approval ratings"! This time I'm going to actually try and keep the OP up to date with recent news such as..... -Ossof has lost the GA-6 race. Getting exactly the same amount of votes as he did in the primary and the literal ghost candidate that ran before him -Every other democrat running in an important special election has lost as well; with some like Quist vastly outperforming Hillary by 20 points. -In general the mood in the loose coalition that comprises the establishment is "far more silent than usual" more than likely due to the repeated close losses despite the GOP shooting themselves in the dick constantly -"When they go low we go high" is now dead with even fools like Neera realizing that respectability politics is pointless -THE ABSOLUTE BOY'S (Corbyn) win in the UK against all odds combined with how well Quist did over Ossof paints an ever more clear picture that the path to power for the democratic party runs through Bernie Would Have Won Land Some fun websites to pass yer time on~ http://www.dsausa.org/ https://ourrevolution.com/ https://justicedemocrats.com/ https://www.indivisibleguide.com/ https://swingleft.org/ Good recommended reading for you and friends~ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/10/how-democrats-killed-their-populist-soul/504710/ https://newrepublic.com/article/130737/democrats-still-dont-get-george-mcgovern http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/features/taibbi-goodbye-and-good-riddance-to-centrism-w487628 http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/features/taibbi-the-democrats-need-a-new-message-w484569 If you have any suggestions for the OP feel free to post em' or PM me.

Agnosticnixie posted:Ellison would have to push hard to make it an issues campaign because I do worry a lot of media would go apoplectic at both his faith and his positions on things like Israel. Chuck Schumer actively defended him so I don't really think it would be a big issue. Israel also isn't exactly thrilled with the Trump admin either. Fun Fact: Jared and Ivanka have not spoken to their rabbi in months and he wrote an article calling them out about it

Current mood Iv been able to gather from my short time in Northern VA is everyone wants Northam to move his rear end to the left because if the Kill All Poors bill passes VA is going to get reamed. Also the Alexandria shooting has a lot of people shook since political violence is probably going to get more common here.

Main Paineframe posted:"maybe the billionaire CEO will be leftist and pro-worker" - the suck zone Generally personal wealth has had little to do with where presidents fall on the left/right axis historically. The issue with ZUCK is he's a creepy techlord not that he's rich. This is also why I think the "BUT BERNIE HAS WEALTH????? VACATION HOMES REEEEEEE" poo poo is so loving stupid; FDR/New Deal democrats were not poor.

I think people getting politically engaged and protesting is good even if they are layering some cringe culture thing on top of it. One of the reasons we are in this shitshow is the majority of the population just sitting around not giving a poo poo.
