The degree to which the right obviously planned to run against Sanders and are just trying to go ahead and run the anti-Bernie campaign they’ve always really wanted to run anyway is both blatant and fucking hilarious. 

Oh I see you’re familiar with the writers and publishers of Jacobin and Current Affairs

Not to mention that while he’s not a POC, Buttigieg isn’t exactly a WASP-- over even a member of one of the larger Euro nationalities- Maltese are a very, very small subset of Med immigrants-- see all the shit he got for his surname.

I mean and a filibuster proof (for the most part--excepting racial issues) supermajority in the Senate-- that’s key unless we have filibuster reform-- barring either of those options and Obama is best case scenario (admittedly Obama notched the biggest progressive achievement in roughly half a century so that’s not…

I mean....she wasn’t willing to run for House or Senate supposedly because her political org meets state but not federal campaign finance guidelines-- that kind of takes her out of the running for VP. 

Maybe hit up your boy Trump and tell him to quit fucking a two-century old constitutionally mandated government service just because he knows he’s got a beating coming in less than 100 days. 

I mean-- Hill having a relationship with the staffer before bringing them on payroll doesn’t exactly improve things it just changes which type of inappropriate sexual harassment/behavior she was engaged in. 

The “hooking up with people you met at College Dem events” wouldn’t really trouble me hugely if he wasn’t an elected at the time-- that creates some really weird power dynamics. 

What “different standard” is he being held to?

If it weren’t for the waste of funds I’d be cool with him getting a monument on a proving ground-- why should the Sphinx be the only major world monument used to sight in munitions? 

I kind of love that even the MAGA Governor of SD thought it was a ludicrous question.

How this develops will be interesting to watch, especially given that Tech fired arguably their most successful coach a half decade or so back based on allegations of abusive treatment of an athlete that in hindsight appear to have been highly exaggerated if not outright fabricated.

I’m guessing it’s probably just the people with at least 1 if not 2 weekly segments not the full set of hosts. 

Several things— it’s a movement confined exclusively to permablue districts, at least in terms of actually winning seats and in this specific instance the Missouri Democratic establishment wasn’t exactly in line with Clay (or Cleaver) because they supported Republican gerrymandering efforts in 2011 which made their…

Not exactly. Clay and Cleaver knifed a moderate Dem in the back to support Republican gerrymandering and make their own districts even safer.

That’s professionalism—I’m betting that not beating a subject to death is like the 5th or 6th thing they teach you in J school

Wallace actually counting backwards from 100 by 7s was just a brutal diss 

That's a dumb fucking statement-- when one thing is less bad than the other thing it is inherently not the same thing

I'm with you till that last bit-- the Base made Biden the nominee

Biden has pretty much always been squarely in the middle of the Democratic Party, thus in 2020 he's to the left of 2008 Obama, if almost certainly to the right of 2020 Obama
