I mean, part of the problem is the media, too. The Bushes have worked on charity projects with Bill, but not with Michelle’s charities. There’s zero evidence that they are friends. Michelle and W. don’t seem to be friends, but it’s a narrative the media latched on for some reason.

Lorne is guilty as hell of normalizing Trump. And I keep hearing people using the excuse that Ariana Grande had to cancel last minute, but I’m sure they still could have found a suitable replacement act instead of Kanye “Let’s Cancel the 13th Amendment” West. He did it for the ratings, knowing Kanye would say…

Political advertising is very interesting. I rarely spend time in San Diego county, but Mr. BlueLark and I had to go down there a few weeks ago for a thing. In our heads, we knew the SD area could be pretty damn red in certain parts and there is a lot of racism, but it was still a shock when we turned on the TV in our…

I definitely think that is the plan. As far as I know, Beto doesn’t have the endorsements of any big Dem figures, much like Phil Breedsen in TN.  I think part of the plan is hoping that the Republican turnout is depressed.

I’m still bitter as hell at their racist asses for basically calling Obama lazy because he went on vacation. Even if that’s all he did, so the fuck what, he deserves to take it easy after all the shit he went through, but they literally posted that article the weekend the Obama Foundation held their first big meeting…

Charisma shouldn’t be that big of an issue, but it is, and Jealous lacks charisma compared to Gillum, Abrams, and Beto. Hogan is also, for some reason, wildly popular.

Can y’all stop assuming the worst about Obama every second of the goddamn day (that DNC shit). He endorsed several politicians who are frankly far more left than Beto, and it doesn’t take a genius to understand that a big Democratic endorsement from any major Dem/Ind. figure (yes, even St. Bernie of White…

Black/Arab woman here:

I like Duckworth/Harris.  Cory is far more progressive than people give him credit for (as Matt Yglesias points out on occasion on twitter much to the rage of some of rose twitter), but his support for charter schools would be a problem with teachers unions and also his relationship with pharma companies would turn…

I mean, some of the pretty hard left twitter journos (the Walker Bragman, Higgins, Grim) types have been (to be fair, mildly) going after her of late somewhat, especially when talk of her running comes up, because she’s endorsed some candidates that aren’t far left over the past few months.

I feel like both the center-left and the left indulge in some historical revisionism of Kamala. She definitely did oversee some bad, problematic shit when she was AG (I’ve seen arguments on both sides about the Mnuchin thing), but she also did a lot of good. People also overlook how far society has progressed on…

I was all excited (he seems like a more pragmatic progressive instead of one of the Bernie Bots and he seems to deeply care about Black folk (only one who showed up at a NAACP sponsored event)...thought he was a bit more left than Stacey Abrams and I was like “we might have two Black governors”)....until I was talking…

Isn’t the Tallahassee City Hall under FBI investigation and it’s been reported that he even met with officers who were undercover? My friends lives there and was really surprised that he wasn’t hammered on it in Florida. I’m in California and never heard a thing until I was talking to her about elections, it’s…

Meh, I feel like a lot of kids were selfish assholes when they were teenagers and defining a 35 year old by their 15 year old self is silly. That said, there’s a difference between being a typical teenage asshole and being a racist, misogynistic, homophobic monster like Stephen Miller. The former I would give the…

The Root is pretty good. 

He’s also calling a woman of Indian descent, Neera Tanden, after Tandoori (an Indian dish) chicken. Racist and gross.

Preach. Not a word about the Obama foundation’s first big convention in S.A. three weeks ago from her either...just a fit that he wasn’t her magical negro.  Either way, he doesn’t owe anyone shit, but he’s supporting anti-gerrymandering causes among other things and I hear nothing from white progressives. 

I like AOC a lot. I think people are projecting their anger at Bernie, and Brent Welder throwing some dishonest shit at Sharice Davids, at her. There’s also a deeper level to this tweet tho: a lot of lefty, like myself, to center-left Dem Black women dislike Bernie because of his shitty, myopic view on economics and…

The Florida cops aren’t even pretending to discipline this racist sack of shit. Usually they spout some “he’s suspended while we investigate” BS before letting them back in a few weeks later when the media coverage has blown over. It’s just a “internal affairs are looking at it” thing here tho.

Yeah, I saw local journalists from MI on twitter that were surprised that she was being spun as the “centrist/establishment” candidate because she was considered pretty far left up to last year.  She’s for a $15 minimum wage, free tech school and two year college, expanding medicare, protecting DACA, etc.
