This is a political misstep, but also a morally correct one (morally speaking, we SHOULD recognize Taiwan) so I have a hard time getting too mad about this one.

So, I guess the headline could also read that Trump is the first president since Jimmy Carter to call Taiwan, and we all know what a crazy, unpredictable, dangerous, right winger Jimmy Carter was.

Do we actually know what Ellison’s platform is for the DNC chair position? I like Ellison, but I haven’t heard any actual electoral strategies from him on how he intends to help the Democrats win in 2018 and 2020. He just talks about being better at getting our message out there. Howard Dean, on the other hand, seems…

The right loves nothing more than leftist parties full of saloon socialists who are leftist in name only. Have the Democrats taken a look at the leftist-liberal parties here in Europe? The Labour Party in Britain? The Socialists in France? The Social Democrats in Germany? They’ve all rendered themselves obsolete, by…

I’ll try to explain this in very simple terms.

I’m with you. I was once a magazine junkie, when I worked in advertising, but haven’t purchased a paper magazine in a decade. I think it’s because I enjoy most of my favorite magazines (and other picture/text media) online via my desktop– which has a large-format cinema monitor. It’s the scale of my monitor which has…

Can’t wait for the headline “How to get great layoff abs by running out of money for food!”

Sorry, I’m more inclined to think, given Emily Ratajkowski’s previous comments on nudity and body acceptance, that this is more about money and profit than it is about violation.

Sadly, that’s why you have to double-check that model release form.

All chaps are assless. That’s the point of chaps. If they had an ass they’d just be pants.

She’s.......Au-some!

Honestly anyone involved with the Clinton campaign should quit politics forever.

When he gave the press conference after the election, he did very subtly and peak out about how Hillary campaign dealt with the election. Everything he has worked for will be undone.

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 marketing strategy, it’s almost always considered easier to get a current customer to repurchase than it is to get someone to switch brands. Obama won by energizing the base and getting more minority/liberal voters to the polls. Hillary lost (along with a dozen other reasons because life isn’t that freaking simple…

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…

That was such a great rant. I’m not much for the notion that Bernie-fying the party is what is necessary for success, I think exchanging an aging establishment for an ideologically pure progressive party will present it’s own equally problematic electoral issues, but yeah, it does seem pretty clear that Democratic…

We need to start pointing fingers at state parties. In Alabama, I see blank lines everywhere on my ballot where democrats should be, because in addition to filing fees you have to make a personal $10k donation to the state party in order to be a Democratic Party Candidate.

Democrats have done better when they’ve tried to get younger and when they tried to move away from letting electorally safe coastal states be in the driver’s seat of the party.

I don’t know if Tim Ryan is the best candidate to become Minority Leader but it IS worth considering “hey uh, Nancy Pelosi, as the face of the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives, has lost a majority in Congress and hasn’t really shown any ability to recruit new members or protect vulnerable members”
