Your context is racist bullshit considering the vast racial gentrification of New Orleans.

Yeah but this move might win them 4 maybe even up to 5 Republican voters so it’s all about the big picture here.

The common jokes that the DNC defeats itself is a common joke for a reason.

I wish the Democratic Leadership was half as good as fighting the GOP as they are fighting Progressives.

What the actual fuck? This party is better at holding itself back than the GOP.

I just do not understand the bizarre obsession with Greenwald and why so many misrepresent his views.

She has no value giving “paid speeches” to companies and trade organizations since she won’t be in office again and those payments are for services rendered in office prospectively or retrospectively. 

And let’s not forget it was the foreign policies of countries like the US, UK, etc. that destabilized many of these countries over the course of generations, in pursuit of cheap resources and compliant business environments.

News articles always point out how Republicans gerrymander, but the dems do it too when they have the chance.

“You can kill people if you give me money.” - William McKinley, and every American President since. 

There are moderate republicans all over the place. Democrats just haven’t tried hard enough to reach them yet. They need to ignore the minorities and progressives of the party (they’re going to vote democrat no matter what, so it’s safe to ignore them), and really stick to status quo policy like increasing military…

Pelosi is only good at getting things done that she wants. This is why we don’t have better healthcare and this is why she needs to go. I’m sick of getting centrist corporatist shit done.

I don’t care who the speaker is as long as they maintain decorum and try to win over moderate republicans. That’s how democrats can really excite the base.

Yeah, this guy Assange got access to John Podesta’s e-mails and then ran around spreading the truth about Hillary and the DNC undermining the Democratic Primary. It’s all his fault that Hillary received 3 million more votes and still lost, Assange must somehow have access to a time machine and went back and installed…

why the hell do people get grayed anyways? not everyone who disagrees with an extremely left leaning site is a troll

open your mouths and close your eyes and youze will get a nice surprise

Good point. What’s the reason for even putting a politician in power if we’re not going to let everything they do go completely unquestioned, even when what they do goes against the reason that we gave them power. Makes sense.

Pelosi basically called Ocasio-Cortez’s win a fluke but go off. Dems who dislike her do so because she values her position in Congress more than defeating the Republican majority. Even after we took back the House she said that they can finally start working together with the Republicans. MLK wrote a letter in jail…

But in the context of a “broke the barrier” analogy, he sort of did it by convincing the barrier builders that he doesn’t really care if others can get over the barrier themselves and that he will in fact support their efforts to keep the barrier nice and strong if they let him through.

Younger Democrats also really like to ignore Obama’s drone wars and nickname as The Deporter in Chief.
