They are Republicans after all, so they’ll just lie anyway to make sure their base falls in line. The point is, the only ones *scared* of the words atheist and socialism are Fox News-brand Republicans. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together would know that socialism /= communism.

Tom Watson and Peter Daou are definitely not progressives, they’re barely even Democrats. They’re the slime that rubs off the centrist position.

Whether the numbers would change after the R slander machine started is just speculation. We’ll never know unless Bernie runs in 2020. The DNC robbed us of an actual leader by pushing HRC over Sanders. And, what could they have said about Bernie? He’s a Jew? He’s an Atheist? He was beaten down by police during the…

See, this is part of the problem.

“This is the progressive purity spiral of progressivism because of what some dude who isn’t a progressive said”

No, it’s bad to like her because she is bad. And she’s more of a distraction to her own base than to anyone else. It’s not Republicans mad about criticism of her from her left. That’s who she matters to.

The fewer and fewer people there are that like her, the louder and louder they become. I’d say they also become stupider, but I’m not sure that’s possible.

Clinton is unpopular. Her policies are unpopular. Her neoliberal ideology is unpopular. She would’ve been, at best and most gracious, more of the same pitiful Democrat control as we continue to slowly slide into oblivion, because Democrats are not real opponents to Republicans.

“when it comes to Hillary, not only were they believed, but it seemed like a contest for some liberals to come up with even worse criticisms.”

Doesn’t matter if he was or wasn’t, they could’ve still ran him and won.

i loved your first four paragraphs filled with relevant facts left out of the article you’re commenting on, and was about to hit the star button.

Why would anyone give to an organization with a budget so secret only two people get to look at it and a track record of spending a billion dollars to lose to pied piper Trump?

His nephew/padawan turned dark side, took some of his classmates with him and burned the whole place down. That really tells you all you need to know, IMO....

You want to know why? Democrats aren’t actually winning.

I feel like the only person in the world who loved finding out that Snoke was a maguffin. I think it’s hilarious and delightful.

2/3 of all registered voters aren’t dems either, who gives a fuck.

I mean, I don’t think Luke did anything Obi-Wan and especially Yoda didn’t also already do.

Eh, Donald Trump is not a Republican and his joining the Republican party last year sure worked out well for him.

Yeah, whenever I would get that bullshit from Clinton supporters about how she was helping raise funds for downticket candidates while Sanders “wasn’t doing shit” for them, I would point out the shenanigans which the DNClinton Campaign were pulling with that so-called “downticket” fundraising. Typically, they refused…

The fact that Bernie isn’t a Democrat is what people *like* about him.
