Democratic (Party) Direction

Seemed like this got lost in the main politics thread: https://crooked.com/articles/sheldon-whitehouse-democrats-win/

A lot of great advice in there.

Fred, seeing a guy who built his single serious Presidential candidacy on being an antiwar candidate, who got drummed out of the race based on disingenuous bullshit, throw some disingenuous bullshit at a guy celebrating the ostensible end of the same war is a little funny, yes, though obviously not at all for the reasons you're uncharitably implying.

DJI, that's a great article by Whitehouse. In the midst of the daily chaos and hubbub it's easy to overlook a long, thoughtful article like that. I hope Whitehouse makes sure the right people are seeing it.

I will actually read that Whitehouse thing at some point but I have to say the headline is hilarious

a HOOS interpreted my lol correctly, yes

Not necessarily disingenuous to acknowledge that once you are buried in a mountain of terrible bullshit you may be situated or obligated to fulfill or pursue security for endangered persons there residing.

Left narrativer: it was disingenuous.

way too cynical. sorry.

Forgive me for thinking that the guy who oversaw the draining of the DNC's statewide coffers to ensure outsized central control and called it a "50 state strategy" might be disingenuous

Nothing bad will happen if US troops leave, it doesn’t matter if withdrawal is strategic or not it’s immediate peace regardless. The people Dean is talking about don’t exist (or don’t matter to me)

I agree Dean’s real sin is being corny there though.

This will be accomplished by a veteran of a scam PAC and a campaign that lost a primary by 22 points, and it will be done while Trump is in office. pic.twitter.com/qUhTR2Botk

This same thread accuses Justice Dems of being a "scam PAC" which I imagine some might have thoughts about

Davids Sirota and Simon have been going back and forth for a while now on climate policy and related matters, though it'll be no surprise where my sympathies lie

If Democrats use 2020 to elect a president who replicates this record, science is telling us millions of people are going to die.

You can tweet-scream at me and insult me as not a "real" journalist, but that doesn't change the science. Deal with it. https://t.co/GyKptLfoKy pic.twitter.com/O9yt0g762H

Ugh sorry for doubletap

You work for what you want most. You only get what the process spits out. The results of the process can include millions of people dying. No one person is steering this.

We get it Sirota, the candidate you don’t disclose that you use to work for and is maybe your ticket to power and who would have done the same stuff you’re screaming about is “our only hope”

We’re so lucky that yhe twitter break he promised after his brother fell down the stairs or something only lasted 45 min

What’s it like to be the only person on earth who cares about whatever it is you’re talking about?

lmao

New board description

Xpost Yeah definitely admit to being too dumb to figure it out.

it's just that we don't care, because you are dependably and utterly full of shit

No I’m right most of the time.

I’m sorry about that

Forget it, NP. It's just sleeve sleeving on you. It comes off with a bit of scrubbing.

Yeah I know. We’re just grinding each other’s gears and old friends.

bump for killfiled fule

not gonna spend one more second of my life reading your posts

Hahaha you still got it my man. You know, he’s always been like this.

No I’m right most of the time.

I'm gonna keep this around for fun

may I suggest Nerdstrom Kruger

chippy gabbneb is the best gabbneb

not sure gabbneb minus the wonkiness and plus garden-variety wokeness is really an upgrade

This is big and underrated. There has never -- never! -- been a House Democratic majority without a powerful bloc of southern conservatives. And now there is. https://t.co/FQT0GgQ3Oc

this is a devastating line of attack, how will AOC ever recover

Here is America’s favorite commie know-it-all acting like the clueless nitwit she is...
...High School video of “Sandy” Ocasio-Cortezpic.twitter.com/s723Vga9zF

College.

Pretty sure I know/have known more Latinx girls named Sandy than white ones.

Also a firm favourite with Scottish male Alexanders.

the green new deal will need to include a massive desalination of the atlantic ocean to hydrate the historic levels of hatethirst conservatives have for AOC

nice

sandy 😍

the aurora is rising behind you

It's from this video, and it's absolutely insane that people are thinking this will reflect negatively on AOC.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj2Xald7NYQ

I was listening to Slow Burn today and a guy said about Bill Clinton, that a lot of people who were just slightly older than him absolutely hated that him and his generation had gotten to have fun and do drugs and have free sex in the late sixties. It's just generational resentment. I feel like it must be the same thing with them and AOC. I don't get how you can hate on anyone for dancing to Phoenix?

Lol, sorry, it's been posted on the other thread. Come to think of it, I even think that's where I found it...

Anyone who thinks that fun video reflects badly on AOC is an evil person.

yeah, it's like a campaign ad for her. i think there's probably an overreaction to the video because it's just some dumbass q anonymous account posting it

"I take no joy in this work, but as a conservative commentator it is my duty to find and publicize any and all videos or images of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez looking happy and doing things young people do. Especially any bathing suit ones, if you know of any."

it's like a campaign ad for her.

I honestly have suspicions that the video was actually leaked by an AOC supporter, if not someone at her office.

Oh, video was already known, hm.
