That is a much better comparison. But Ellison didn’t even follow Farrakhan though—he just went to an event created by Farrakhan because he thought the event was a good idea and bigger than the man. So Ellison apologized profusely even though he wasn’t a part of Farrakhan’s actual group. Still not enough because BLACK…

The ADL has a long history of supporting anyone who supports Israel, and criticizing anyone who wavers. It tends to color a lot of their outrage.

Some nice twinja friend retweeted it in my Twitter feed, so yes I do:

Instead of looking at some small transgression from 20-30 years ago, look at his record as a politician in MN. This is a man who would lead us back to relevance.

Liberals fall for this all the time. That’s why my feed has been full of stupid articles inviting me to empathize with white working classes, because their economic fears made them vote for a Nazi.

That’s stupid, though. I don’t even like Farrakhan, but to say that he’s ever participated in activities against Jewish people that are comparable to activities the KKK has participated in against Black people and Jewish people and lots of other types of people is simply not factual. So once again, someone’s “views”…

ALTERNATE HEADLINE: SELF DITCHES SHELF

Her scam doesn’t go very far without her looks. Angry old white men sure love their bleached blondes.

I prefer DJ Assault.

I love Unsung and I love House so of course, I loved this episode. Always happy to see the genre’s black/queer origins covered because most people probably think House (and techno for that matter) was created by Euro boys from Italy or Germany.

This was posted elsewhere by a commenter but I thought it was great.

The Republican party intentionally funneled money into local elections to get control of the state legislatures. Why haven’t Democrats?

Hillary didn’t have an economic message. Can you remember any ad that she put out down the stretch in the election about what she would do about jobs? She was obsessed with foreign policy and “respectability” and courting moderate Republican voters. She never did anything about jobs.

WE SHOULD DO THAT! HILLARY NEVER WENT TO WISCONSIN! IT WOULD HAVE WON HER THE ELECTION!

Dude I’m from the Midwest. I’m not giving up on them. You don’t have to lie to them. Barack Obama didn’t lie to them. Barack Obama ran this ad.

In the sense that Democrats won’t fight to make gains in red states...yeah. Look how they left Wendy Davis out to twist in the wind. Sure, she was a long shot. But had she competent campaign assistance in both dollars and strategy she could have laid a solid groundwork for future D gains in Texas.

Yes, elevating more elderly centrist millionaires to positions of power within the party was a sure winner in 2016 - the left hated Hillary for the same reasons they hate Nancy Pelosi. The establishment Democrat’s addiction to failure is staggering, and the number of milquetoast while liberals willing to abandon…

And we shouldn’t “cater our entire party to disaffected, angry middle aged white guys” but we should certainly make an effort to fucking message those policies to those voters or else we can keep fucking losing Midwest elections for the rest of time.
