It’s also kind of weird that he called him “General Sessions.”

People in the Gawker ecosystem used to understand sarcasm. 

I remember when Geithner was nominated for Treasury Secretary.  My first thought was:  “Barack Obama may have just played us for suckers.”  It wasn’t until he caved on “healthcare reform” and changed it to “health insurance reform” that I knew it for sure.

If only we had some sort of finance bureau that could protect these consumers.. Hmmm

Almost like “neoliberalism” isn’t just some meaningless buzzword and actually, accurately reflects the mainstream view of finance and economics held by both Democrats and Republicans!

I want to take this song, and play it at a party to see if anyone notices and thinks theyre just having a stroke.

Nothing gets me more hyped to vote than the promise of incremental change as long as the Republicans find the discourse civil enough to allow it.

Democrats as a party need to stop being so afraid of some people in the party embracing radical new ideas. Republicans are not afraid of that at all. They’ve had presidential candidates who have proposed cutting entire well-established (and entirely necessary) cabinet departments - Energy, Education, the IRS for…

the midterms are going to be a turnout election, so the Democrats need to focus on policies that motivate people to go to the polls. Which will work better: ‘Abolish ICE’ or ‘Let’s discuss establishing a bipartisan committee to consider immigration policy reform?’

Apparently not, given that it’s only the left that’s willing to commit to abolishing it and not doing a woke rebranding of it.

Mainstream Republicans get no flack for demanding we abolish the Departments of Education, Energy, and Oops, but “abolish that 15 year old agency that’s stealing children” is going to far. 

Good to see centrist Democrats are still using their ‘punt on third down’ strategy.

“I think that you can’t win the White House without the Midwest and I don’t think you can go too far to the left and still win the Midwest,” Duckworth told Jake Tapper.

Never interrupt your enemy while they are making mistakes.

They’re fucking TERRIFIED of her. The best part is that their constant and repeated attempts to silence or minimize her are doing nothing but alerting more people to her policies and winning her more fans. 

I have to disagree with the position the Slate union is taking. Having an open shop guarantees that employees are treated with parity.

Luckily, we have intrepid reporters like Jeremy Peters to “explain” to us all why Trump won, and give us brilliant analysis proving that Trump supporters support Trump with 1500 words in every Sunday edition. [NOTE: Peters neglect to mentions his own paper’s daily breathless, 3-alarm, 10-month 2016 series devoted to…

Dear Establishment Democrats:

Seriously. That paragraph might be the best bit of strategy I’ve heard from an elected (or extremely likely to be elected) Democrat in a long time.

This is the exact right way Democrats should be running candidates.
