When Dems won a bunch of seats in 2018, it was only because of moderates who had moderate policies. When Dems lost some of those seats in 2020, it is because of progressives who have progressive policies. How weird! Progressives can never take any credit when Democrats win, but always get blame when Democrats lose! It…

The reason I almost want Trump to go for that media empire, supposedly it would be built off of OAN, is that not only would it split some of the audience from Fox’s talking heads, but Trump is such a horrible businessman that watching its inevitable collapse would hilarious.

the hell did I just read?

He’s the hero we need, but certainly not the hero we deserve. 

I did not know who John Fetterman was before last week. I did not realize how much I needed him in my life. 

Remember the Lt Gov in Texas offering $1M was offering for evidence of voter fraud? Well the Lt Gov in Pennsylvania sure does, and he wants to collect.

I’m fucking done with this administration. y’all know the reasons why. this needs to stop, they need to go to jail and i need some tylenol and a six month vacation somewhere not here.

The observer, Kristy Klamer, also complained that a Democratic challenger had asked her a reasonable question: “Why did you come here?”

1) when does a vaccine count as being early? Fauci and others have consistently said they were hopeful for a Q4/Q1 vaccine that would take time to distribute starting with frontline workers and the most vulnerable. Trump said it would happen by election day “or even earlier” in the debates. Election day is past! You…

Biff and Barbie, the Republican hopefuls in Georgia are just mad that Raffensperger can’t cheat for them the way Brian Kemp cheated for himself two years ago. Because of Kemp’s underhanded purging of black voters one to two years before the 2018 Governor’s race, thousands of eligible black voters weren’t even able to…

Ever since Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016, newspapers and magazines have been obsessed with constructing a mythology of a “forgotten” white working class through interviews at down-home diners and reportage from tractor pulls in deep red states.

Sadly, I tend to agree with you. But in the meantime, LET ME HAVE MY DREAMS!!!!

Centrist Democrats are always going to be the most vulnerable parts of the Congressional Caucus. By definition, they’re representing areas that aren’t necessarily 100% aligned with the Democratic Party as a whole.

So the progressive leader should not be allowed to publicly hold progressive opinions?  Seems to me that if bad faith attacks had that much of an effect, the Democrats who it worked against ran poor campaigns.

Progressives didn’t really run on defunding the police either.  That wasn’t a centerpiece of their campaign.  Anyway, maybe centrists shouldn’t “spend untold amounts of time and resources trying to defend against” bad faith GOP attacks!  That’s a waste of resources that just makes the race about what the GOP wants it…

If your political advisors and political opponents are giving you the same advice, you need to either reconsider your advisors or admit you are not actually in the party you think of.

There is not any reason that any Democrat has to let any Republican define what any particular campaign was about. If a candidate got defined by a freshman representative from outside of their district, if they got defined by positions that they don’t hold (indeed, that almost no Democrats actually hold, and that no…

[copying and pasting my own comment from another thread]

When dealing with disingenuous people who aren’t going to do their homework, but will instead learn all they care to know from a 3 word phrase, common sense policing reforms cannot be marketed as “defund the police”.

He’ll call for a coup, but those clowns he’s calling are all a bunch of cowards who only feel tough because they have a gun when they’re around a bunch of unarmed people. But when push comes to shove, they won’t do a god-damned thing.
