It also appears to encourage people to question the accusers and their personal lives to determine if they are “perfect victims”; and if not, then they don’t have the right to accuse him.  Classic victim blaming imo.

the man accused of rubbing his fully-clothed but erect penis against co-workers in a place of business

““I wasn’t a perfect person when I made these mistakes. I’m not a perfect person now. I’m happy to be judged by perfect people””

Sit and stay.

From what I’ve seen, his entire shtick seemed to be entitled, know-it-all asshole. MSNBC is chock-full of that category at the moment, but I’m sure they’ve got room for one more. My mom watches Morning Joe, and she went from a lefty who supported Elizabeth Warren and transformative ideas to hemming and hawing…

What kind of garbage human doesn’t know that they shouldn’t rub their erect penis against another person without that person’s consent? What kind of person even pretends they don’t know. Like, I get it when it’s a dog that does it—dogs are animals and don’t know any better. So, congratulations, Mark Halperin: you’re…

For the longest time I couldn’t see how MSNBC Mika and Joe were “Mr and Mrs Mika and Joe” but it’s becoming abundantly clear that they’re sharing one brain now.

No one actually thinks our policies are bad! We have the best policies! People who say they don’t have a problem with our goals but rather with our notions of how to accomplish them are really just dissembling to hide the fact that they’re Nazis. Not “Nazis” in an exaggerated sense. Or even Nazis in the sense that the…

I will vote for whomever is the Democratic nominee in the end, but Biden is literally last on my list should he run, maybe tied with Gabbard. 

Right but riddle me this: what Republicans are voting for her? Which ones aren’t going to call her a socialist extremist whatever whatever whatever? Like I said, one thing to be a certain way because your district wants that out of you. Quite another to try to negotiate with terrorists who won’t vote for you anyway.…

I think there are many social Democratic policies that are perfectly logical and good. Demanding that the party moves to the extremes, especially ideas already proven to be awful, to me is bafflingly stupid.

Yup, better the strongest gun control bill in years fail over reporting people who probably aren’t allowed to buy guns being reported when trying to do so.

the rhetoric is pretty unbelievable isn’t it? Like we all know about the excess of Right Wing politics and the warning signs of it, but it seems like no really knows what left wing political excess is or how we even get there.

Part of the reason is that everytime we call someone out for authoritarian views they are…

I do think it needs to be applied selectively (which is why I agree that if you are truly doing what your district would want, I can’t blame you even if I don't like it). It’s just specifically those Democrats who pander to Republicans.

What if you think the radical left has horrible ideas?

Fuck everyone who disagrees with you. They will be first against the wall in Democratic Socialist America, the land free of profits.

But they didn’t vote with the other party - they voted with their party but with an amendment many in their party didn’t like. The article specifically says “This wasn’t a trade for “bipartisanship.” Only eight Republicans voted for the final bill itself”.

If you’re a moderate Democrat and your constituents are demanding moderateness (lol) out of you, that’s one thing. If you are a moderate Democrat thinking you need to pander to Republicans so they don’t have ammo against you in your next election, that’s quite another because your Republican opponent WILL call you a…

I mean, I get it, you need to publish a slobbering AOC post every hour or GMG will blow up, and I love her too. But Can we please take a minute to at least acknowledge Nancy Pelosi isn’t the monster that was presented yesterday?
