Oh my god do you guys ever take a day off

No I think he dunked on me. 

Krueger Derangement Syndrome. Calling it now. 

I expect the commenters who spend their time on this site #resisting by continuing to come up with increasingly unwieldy and incoherent nicknames for Trump to have a very reasonable reaction to this article.

Hopefully the counter protesters do the right thing and are very violent. It really is time for nazis to be killed, not just yelled at.

Well, that right there is one reason for Putin’s smirk.

Nah, the problem is putting up Democratic candidates that people actually want to vote for. Voting is a chore and a lot of people won’t bother if they’re not excited about their choices.

No, the Republicans from 2010-2016 had way more infighting than the Democrats do now. Even this year, Republicans have had more House incumbents (Pittenger and Sanford) go down than the Democrats have. The problem isn’t “infighting” or people who voted in the primary staying home because their preferred candidate…

As a black person anytime I hear someone say - but wait we can’t have these convos - or - we’ll scare off the moderates with all this “leftist” talk - I’m almost positive they are white and likely of a certain class - they are often the embodiment of the “white moderate” that King spoke of...cause there is no way you…

Right, in that both are the fault of the US.

Another is that in the United States, right-wingers have conflated Democrats and socialism to the…

Careful, you start making too much sense and they’ll dismiss your comment and reply to a screenshot. Can’t have too many people agree with you.

There’s a chasm of difference between Obama’s messaging and Clinton’s messaging, and Obama’s 2008 messaging especially was anything but moderate. If the Dem establishment has a pocket Obama waiting in the wings, by all means. But putting forth another cup of warm liquid tapioca is not going to do the job. Obama’s 2008…

I think you mean WAS better than nothing because in the end it’s nothing more than a shell of what was promised. They had the means to force through actual reform with a public option but they caved to the likes of Joe Lieberman because they didn’t want upset the right who were going to spend the rest of his time in…

He can stump for candidates that can help deliver the promises he made as president. He still has plenty of goodwill among progressives, even the “dirtbag left” to an extent.

Obama is far less an establishment Democrat than any of the people listed in the first paragraph who have been around for decades. Obama came to the Senate in 2005, 13 years after the Clintons started their stranglehold on the party. 18 years after Nancy Pelosi came to congress.
