This sounds basically like a microcosm of what people figured out about Obama and why leftists have no patience for Biden's bullshit. It's a false economy: it's very clear that no matter how well-behaved leftists are and how much they adhere to  and kiss the asses of ancient centrist ghouls, they're never actually going to get anything in return for it when the donors start throwing tantrums. 'Political capital' isn't real.

Also seems like there's an extremely obvious agenda in framing the one progressive firebrand as obviously unreasonable and stupid.

'I'm going to let your former employer steal your money because a man made mean tweets' isn't a winning argument. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Not surprising at all. Before they were slave patrols, the police as an institution were extermination squads. The Mounties still are. And just look at Australian police treating the torture and murder of Aboriginal Australians as a sport.

Don't tell them that. American police pretty much consider themselves an occupying military force.

Force The Vote as a talking point considered on par with 'blackpilled' seems a giveaway for its own brand of nihilism, given how productive it's been in practice.

The dynamics are odd, but actually kinda come down to a mix of the electorate being well aware that any other option is worse, but also that they have leverage over Northam and he has to keep them happy if he wants to have anything resembling a career going forward. Open blackmail.

The picture is literally one guy in blackface and one guy in a klan hood, and it isn't clear which one is Northam You cannot write comedy like this

They're going to be whining about Lee Carter for years as an excuse not to do anything that helps anyone, aren't they?

It's more the rank hypocrisy given the accusations of disloyalty and opportunism (at best) constantly slung at leftist candidates and anyone supporting them, while there's demonstrable examples of the machine politics outright self-destructing the party when a leftist gets elected. (see also: Jeremy Corbyn) Not to mention things like the PUMAs.

NY state politics do not exist in a hermetically sealed bubble. A black socialist who legitimately won the election being attacked by the wealthy white party leadership and compared to a literal Klan leader exists in context, and none of it makes that remotely acceptable. I wonder if we'll see the return of Donut Twitter. Also, PUMAs were very much a real thing, certainly more so than Bernie Bros.

Democrats unfortunately continue to be completely fixated on the mythical moderate Republicans at the expense of literally everyone else.

The Maroon Hawk posted:No, I don't seriously think they were actually trying to lose, more that it just seriously loving looks like something they'd put out if they were trying to lose Honestly, with how out of touch they are if they were trying to lose I'd expect them to run as a caricature of a progressive.
