Ok first of all, I am from Venezuela, and while the nuclear story they are trying to build up in the series is not accurate, Venezuela’s corrupt president Maduro has been dealing illegaly with Russia for years. So to a venezuelan person, even though is way too much fiction, is satisfactory to see that people at least…

Truly it is amazing how Nancy Pelosi used a time machine to make Trump a bigot. 

I’m good with this. The progressive caucus is a huge part of the party - they need to all stop airing their grievances at each other on Twitter and work together. Like, have meetings. Send emails. Come to each other with problems. As much as I like the “Squad” speaking truth to power, if this apparent policy keeps…

Ah yes, Trump, famously known for not getting involved in things.

Just a reminder about what the correct response to this is, from someone who gave it just ten years ago:

You really are like a dog with an old shoe with this “ITS PELOSI’S FAULT TRUMP IS RACIST” aren’t you?

You dipshits are trying way too hard to shift the focus back on Pelosi and centrists. God, you’re fucking lame.

When you say “out in the streets stopping this,” what do you mean?  Because I think I know what you are suggesting, but if you are going to start shaming people for not doing enough, you ought to be explicit about what it is you are asking them to do and the sacrifices you are asking them to make. 

Democratic leaders don’t have a magic wand they can wave over the heads of millions of Americans to change their cognitive plumbing.

Yeah this is pretty typical Pelosi maneuvering.

Maybe -- and hear me out -- the woman that knows the rules better than most other people knew this was the actual fucking rule, and explicitly -- as Speaker -- made the comments on the House floor to force a vote on this exact thing?

I think it’s more that the article itself is kind of amazing— the moment anything potentially negative is floated about AOC, Splinter goes full Trump attacking the sourcing, motives behind it, etc but if a similar story was floated about Nancy Pelosi they wouldn’t just run it, they’d split it into a multipart article…

Right? Like, you would hope if there was a shred of self-awareness left in her, that she let out an audible groan at getting this article assignment. I mean, I’m hoping she was told to write this article and isn’t so incredibly tone deaf that she actually came up with the idea on her own.

“As the New York Times’ Astead Herndon pointed out on Twitter, the CBC doesn’t necessarily have the moral high ground here”

The irony of anyone on Splinter giving a crap about journalism is so immense that if it had physical manifestation, it would form a neutron star.

Seriously. Warren has the specifics on her policy/proposals/platforms in a way that Bernie didn’t even when he was still refusing to accept defeat in 2016. It has impressed a LOT of people.

It’s obnoxious that people keep pushing this “just because she’s a woman” narrative. It’s not like women are jumping up to support Sarah Palin or Candace Owens just because they’re women.

Reminiscent of how he dismissed Planned Parenthood and the Human Right Fund’s endorsements of Hillary as being because they were part of the establishment so of course they went for her, the establishment candidate.

I see you're not familiar with Mr. Sanders yet.

Never mind that she has been consistently laying out policy. It’s all about that pussay right Bernie?
