“But being a parent is tough - you’d understand if you had kids. Can you hold this for a sec? *hands you dirty diaper* Oh where did she get off to? Has anyone seen my lil Emma? *shitty kid romps through room* Oh there she is! Truly a gift from god. We are so lucky”

“These are the questions that the reader of this column is forced to ask. Who is the audience for this? What is the point of this? Why publish it?”

Is: “These are the questions that the reader of this column is forced to ask. Who is the audience for this? What is the point of this? Why publish it?” supposed to be rhetorical? Its for the fucking Clinton crowd

You sound sweet (pats head)

Exactly. I was hoping for just this sort of party realignment after Nov. With trump in office AND losing seats, there is literally no farther to fall. Its not the time to double-down on failed policy, its time to get radical and fire up OUR base. But thats just not what the DNC is interested in. I actually like Tom

“Other than Manchin, what Democrat wants to defund Planned Parenthood, gut the EPA or deregulate Wall Street?”

I’m listening. I’m just astounded that out of those numbers you get “poor white people”.

That’s really the rub between Clintonites and actual leftists though - Clintonites are just like their republican counterparts in that, they don’t really give a shit about social issues, so they’ll vote for whatever most folks want for the most part.

Economics and guns mostly. Telling that a Clintonite would draw a line at abortion, but not at Wall Street regulation

Are you denying that the Clintons run the party? Would you describe any Clinton as a good dem?

The Blue Dogs are led by Charlie Crist!

“Trump’s plan for Healthcare looked a lot like Obama’s. Single payer.”

“But another part of the problem is going into regions like West Virginia and finding a Democrat who can both vote like a Democrat and hold on to their seat.”

With John Ossoff and Joe Manchin? Joe Lieberman?

Keystone, Kates Law

She was majority leader. How about the entire blue dog caucus?

She couldn’t pass meaningful healthcare with a super-majority. She can’t keep the 4-5 dems who routinely flip in line. She’s another Clintonite centrist. She is absolutely worthless to the party and the movement

I think the key difference in you and the Clintonite wing of the party, and those of us who are actually leftist is, you confuse the party winning with the movement making progress. Joe Lieberman called himself a democrat. Joe Manchin calls himself a democrat. Simply sticking someone in office that does not represent
