Democratic (Party) Direction

the "100% ideologically pure" myth makes me violent

I'll remember that the next time I see a "O LOOK JARED KUSHNER DONATED TO CORY BOOKER" post.

cool

Seth MacFarlane > Dennis Perrin

Only in terms of exposure and potential damage.

Liberals hate Trump because he's making socialism inevitable.

"inevitable"

"socialism"

"he's"

didja sell yr sense of humor at rummage, crut? DP knows America will chainsaw its balls off b4 it turns red.

"sense of humor"

"balls"

Dennis Perrin is the left's version of Andy Borowitz.

ah, "woke" "sexist" bullshit

xp

morbs i have no idea what you're reading into me quoting the word "balls"

Trying to make this thread anything other than a Morbius snark monopoly seems pointless

ok mea culpa Brad

let's all just chill and watch Get Out again

I donated $25 to the Quist campaign and ever since I've been getting 5 emails a day from the DCCC with the spammiest headlines possible. Bad look, Democrats.

let's all just chill and watch Get Out again

Done.

i'm saving it for Thanksgiving, not sure what year

Ossoff not down for single-payer, says no chance of passage. "We need a lot less ideology around health care." @WABENews @PBSAtlanta debate

I am, uh, not endorsing not going for single payer fwiw.

i like living in NY so i don't have to vote for invertebrates -- oh wait, Schumer

The House passed Dodd-Frank rollback legislation today, 233-186

Republicans 233-1
Democrats 0-185

^ Democrats gave it everything they've got with the usual result.

who was the one republican

what if we try to make it morbius snark bingo

good thread by Adam J here

assumption the "Bernie slot" will be filled by a vaguely progressive dem & have 1-to-1 enthusiasm/money among demsocs is, i think, a bad one

What the fuck does "we need a lot less ideology around healthcare" even mean? How do you even get to the point that there is some position to take on governmebt's role or lack of role in healthcare without ideology?

I feel like my snap assessment of him above was 100% correct.

I think this is the second time she has said "fuck" in public in the last few months. Is this an attempt to seem more candid and even like an "outsider" now that she knows voters like that stuff?

Sorry for the rhetorical questions, it obviously is, and it seems kind of lame.

Yeah, fuck that shit

No but really it does seem to go against her sort of churchy image, and that's what makes it seem lame. In the same way that Cuomo tweeting "I am gay, I am transgender, I am
Muslim" etc didn't seem believable coming from him.

because in that list he didn't include "I am a 1 percenter."

It makes her seem even dorkier. If you watch the video you can tell she is uncomfortable saying it.

if only Hillary had farted while giving a speech last year and asked the crowd AWRIGHT. WHO CUT THE CHEESE?

confirmation for distrusting this new Progressive Warrior KG xp

HRC's "delete yr account" was in same vein

I think some dem pols see swearing as part of that precious "authenticity" they yearn for. Kamala Harris and Tom Perez do it too so I assume it's on purpose.

Lol yeah KG is out because she said fuck one time

Jesus, y'all sound like Cilizza

"I don't trust Kirsten Gillbrand cause she said fuck and it seemed weird"

there seems to be a non-ironic "bernie 2020" thing happening on twitter

i don't want him to run, but i support the idea of it because the Right People are pretty mad about this

Tbf Dr Morbius doesn't trust any Democratic politicians because he is the best of us, and he knows it

Treeship is concerned because it is literally his job to get worried about Democrats who might run in 2020 as soon as possible

Anderson Cooper Eyeroll 2020

The real reason Dems are cussing in public is VEEP on HBO

I mean the idea that these people, the politicians of my generation, don't cuss like fucking sailors when it private, is fucking beyond stupid. The awkwardness is because revealing part of your private self in public is always awkward. And bearing witness to it is also awkward. But I guarantee this is partly because of VEEP, which all these people watch, and the calculus is: who am I going to lose? People who are uncomfortable with cursing? Dems lost that bloc in 2004 I think.

Better to just let rip with a good F bomb or two than a Dean Scream

I would really prefer Sanders didn't run again tbh

It should be either Bernie or Warren. Anyone else would either be a centrist loser or not have enough name recognition to build enthusiastic support or both.

what about younger candidates who've adapted the times? That's politics.
