I’m going to give you partial credit for this. Working class is biting the hand that feeds them but it’s because that hand sucks at feeding them.

We definitely need to reassess how we respond to dissenting voices. There’s a huge difference between a person deliberately using slurs and/or dog whistles, and a person who means well but just hasn’t learned (yet). People who are already openly bigoted are lost causes, IMHO, and not worth the effort. But there are a…

The flavor of Jezebel lately has been “circle the wagons” and “we ran a perfect campaign”. As goes our comments’ section, so goes the nation, I always say.

Yes. Also, consider the section of the exit poll (NYT link below) where they broke down the vote by “Family Financial Situation” For those whose family financial situation is “Better Today” Clinton won 72-24. For those who said it was “about the same” it was tied 46-46. For those who said it was “Worse Today”…

The Dems had fewer African-American and Latinx voters this time around, many of whom are also workers. The Democratic Party never made it clear how Democratic policies help workers. Not a particular variety of workers, but all workers. When wages decline, workers vote for specific policies that bolster wages and…

President Obama has it right with his post-presidency priorities. The most important thing Democrats can do in the next 4 years is concentrate on winning state legislatures because in 2020, state legislatures will get to redraw the district lines for the House of Representatives. If you haven’t heard of REDMAP, here’s…

Hillary did not lose because of Bernie’s education plan.

Spineless centrist neoliberal careerists have had their day. Their failure to fight for—and thus inspire—working people is what enabled a Trump Presidency.

NO ONE is saying to completely abandon minority concerns and only cater to white people. No one is saying that. What needs to happen is maybe stop using identity politics as a fucking bludgeon against white people, and maybe try and convince people that equality for minority groups actually benefits us all in the…

Here’s our plan, from what I can tell:

Hmmm, you seem to have an issue with women my dude.

It’s so gross. They’re so gross. God I hate parents.

Kurt Eichenwald is a titanic Hillary shill that had a hand in pushing HRC over Sanders. He also lied about Wikileaks to HRC’s advantage. He’s a fucking hack.

In younger blacks and Latinos Bernie was extremely popular

Neither is Bernie. Wanting free college and wanting to break up the big banks makes him a traditional, FDR liberal. He’s not looking for the government to take over the means of production, so calm down.

Dude, I’m a huge Bernie supporter, but the man’s going to be 79 years old by the next election. It’s not gonna happen. The Dems need a deeper (and more progressive) bench. We can’t put all our hopes on Warren and Sanders.

The NFL is absolutely not wrong. The Patriots are only fun to watch when I have a legitimate chance of schadenfreude, which the Jets do not offer me.

No, but her support for austerity certainly has helped empower far-right groups across the continent and crush any kind of democratic alternatives(like Syriza) to Nazism.

So... We’re calling Angela Merkel a liberal now? Because that really feels weird to us europeans.

No it won’t, at least not in the coming elections next year. The only party that openly opposes her stance on refugees is the AFD, and there’s no chance in hell they’ll get enough votes to field a chancellor. None of the established parties are willing to form a coalition government with them, either.
