Dear Democrats: stop fucking up

that's just some outside group, not an actual party organization

They are still calling themselves Democrats and they are still fucking up.

I mean, you could take the high road, but why let republicans have all the fun of wading through waist-deep shit?

this is p stupid but it's not anywhere close to the depths of the "Bernie Bernstein" robocall, gimme a break

incompetence and evil, our perennial choice

This account is...odd:

And seems mainly there to re-post one guy

i prefer to categorize the choices as the Horrible and the Miserable per Alvy S

I mean, you could take the high road, but why let republicans have all the fun of wading through waist-deep shit electoral victories?

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is having reporters say what they’re thankful for before asking her questions & @CeciliaVega says, “I am thankful for the First Amendment.” pic.twitter.com/WiCTT4xoxI

I like all the “civility politics are good now” responses to the hat making fun of Roy Moore.

Sarah Sanders says that reporters who are called on must say what they're thankful for before they can ask a question.

She Said That A Powerful Congressman Harassed Her. Here’s Why You Didn’t Hear Her Story. https://www.buzzfeed.com/paulmcleod/she-complained-that-a-powerful-congressman-harassed-her?utm_term=.djQOkXgDm

Yellen’s departure from the Fed long before her term as a governor ends in 2024 gives President Donald Trump another big opportunity to shape the world’s most important central bank.

ME: Joe, about halfway through the speech, I’m gonna wish you a happy birth--

He's got the most retweets, the best retweets. Way more than fake Trump. Sad!

Birthday Forgeddin' Joe Biden

Adam Serwer: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/11/the-nationalists-delusion/546356/

does anyone know how many republicans who signed grover norquist's tax pledge have voted so far this november to raise taxes?

All but 13 of them

Litterally every GOP Senator and Rep has signed that

re the Serwer piece

We need to talk about economic anxiety. [Thread]

There's this prevalent notion that "economic anxiety" is exclusively a pretext for racism. As proof, @AdamSerwer, notes that Trump voters were proportionally wealthier than HRC's, & that HRC won the majority of low wage earners. https://t.co/xZv0NIckf9

I hear Mugabe's looking for work

i wonder how the pepe/MAGA gang is gonna take the repeal of net neutrality. i mean, i know the answer of course, but fun to think about

Talking about the economic anxiety of moderately well-off white people who voted for Trump and not taking into account that a large driver for that economic anxiety is "I believe non-white people are talking what is rightfully mine" seems at best naive.

^^^

er "taking", don't know why that ended up "talking"

djp otm

I don't think that defeats or even directly contradicts her larger point about electoral strategy?

Just saw Coates tweet about the Atlantic article. I don't get it, I just read the article, I thought it was pretty clear that it was another "it's actually racism!" articles. Am I misreading the article or it's critiques?

I feel like they floated a trial balloon about this a few months ago and the pepe crowd were fuckin pissed about it.. we'll see.

net neutrality repeal has been a possibility for a number of years but has failed to happen. can someone tell me why it seems so imminent now and why this potential FCC move is different from the times it's almost happened in the past?

nevermind i'll take it to the more specific thread!

"He is in total denial. I do have to say, 40 years is a long time. He has run eight races and this has never come up. So 40 years is a long time," Trump said. "The women are Trump voters. Most of them are Trump voters. All you can do is you have to do what you have to do. He totally denies it."

the end part of Trump's quote was " I’m very happy it’s being exposed."

like.....did you hear how that sounded coming out of...y'know what I'm done.

all you can do is you have to do what you have to do

like.....did you hear how that sounded coming out of...y'know what I'm done.

― fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal),

you're criticizing the English of a man with the command of language of a Hellman's mayo jar?

Trump: "He is in total denial" I'm sure trump didn't mean this the way it actually reads.

I’m amazed he stayed on topic.

Uh he didn’t really, he felt the need to point out the women he molested were Trump voters

yes but he didn’t go off on a tear about how LeBron hates America or something. If it was a rally instead of a press conference I suppose it would have gotten really weird.

xp that's relevant. he's suggesting that the allegations aren't true. "I do have to say" is the reversal from the first sentiment - it's been a long time and many races and it has never come up before now, and all the women are trump voters (ideologically motivated). i think "All you can do is you have to do what you have to do" means despite not really believing it he feels like he is obligated to use it to make political hay.

oh lol nm i thought that was a quote about franken carry on

Hell of a read.
