not sure if duckworth is running but i think if we hold her feet to the fire we can get her to march left and stand up for real progress

i don't want to shoot down her chances, but seems like a sufficiently motivated insurgent could cause her candidacy to crash

Clinton supporter in the general.

These people are pettty, stupid, and wrong. I feel like people like they do not represent the majority of supporters, but they get a majority of the attention. I think that this is a larger problem in general, but this is a good example.

There is a toxic group out there that really just wants to be loud and lovely to people they see as the problem. They infect all discourse and I don't know how to break through the noise to get to the place we need to be.


this 8 percenter stuff is the dying remnants of the clinton cult and should just be ignored

hillary herself's gone into full-on pailn grift mode at this point and they''ll spend the rest of their days making GBS threads up twitter and writing salon thinkpieces at each other

It's fine to suggest Democrats try to recapture the kind of popularity that LBJ and FDR enjoyed, but it's weird to assert their popularity was solely due to expanding social services and had nothing to do with their ideological defenses of free enterprise and capitalism and their interventionist foreign policy to defend the same across the world.

It's also good to point out her reservations against slavery weren't, like human rights or decency, but physical fear that the slaves would be dangerous to her family, and her heartwarming story of how she overcame that fear and took the risk involved someone telling her the positive financial effect on the state budget.

imho the more egregious and telling part of the story was her expressing amazement that the state-owned slaves were fully formed human beings capable of expressing complex thoughts and not quasi-verbal ape-men

Whether or not the Democrats learn the right lessons from 2016 is a really, really loving important thing. I would like it very much if the Democrats stopped acting like idiots, and kicked the third way Democrats out of all positions of power, so that they could take control of the government.

i dunno i'm kinda curious to see how many offices the dems can lose from constantly stepping on their own dicks while republicans complete their transformation into the great value 4th reich

I think the person who posted the Kristallnacht thing changed it and said he meant to refer to the Rohm Putsch / Night of the Long Knives, but hosed it up. Pretty egregious mistake to make of course. Not to mention, even saying we need to Rohm-Putsch the DNC is in really poor taste as well.

this why it's important to recognize your audience

I'm sure Hillary would have bombed those women and children in a much more empowering, centrist, Very Serious way, and not in a gross Republican way. It makes a lot of difference to the women and children how they got bombed, you know.

exactly. she probably wouldn't have bombed women and kids directly, but she would've ramped up her arms deals to gcc states in exchange for donations to the clinton foundation
