lol @ “journalism.” the scathing Hawt Taeks that this site publishes are so cringey. Obama isn’t president anymore, a literally orange neanderthal* is. THAT should be the most pressing issue, not a former president whipping votes for the Dems. 

“Don’t call me out on the thing that I did!”

Oh, stop it. You’re doubling down on putting words in my mouth that I never said and never implied. That makes you a lot like the lazy corrupt racist orange santorum-covered enemy of the people. Don’t be that way. It makes you look bad. You should know better.

You said that. I did not.

And that’s why people have trouble taking progressives seriously, either in the context of governing or even campaigning. What’s the point in trying to persuade people who don’t understand that that are a minority bloc in the party and who constantly threaten staying home?

You got me. Obama totally wants unaffordable college and lead-poisoned water. 

Ah yes. Everyone knows the Kennedys are the symbol of equality in America. It’s just those uppity black men we have to worry about. 

He’s right. He’s a brilliant once in a generation politician and he’s right. It’s easy to stand on the sidelines and shout about what you could do and not do anything at all. (Cough Bernie.) It’s harder to get in there and compromise and work your ass off and swallow your pride and have a bunch of assholes call you a…

A further point – which would have stopped you even posting that nonsense, if you had known its actual origin…

Typically, bank accounts don’t dictate people’s political leanings. More often, location, education and life circumstances do. 

And we are not all as left as you think. You are becoming a democratic version of a trump fan. Shouting at anything you do not like. Making everyone who is not on your said into a monster.

You’re literally saying what you wish was true. While it may be true that there are more true progressives in the Democratic electorate than ever before, look at the polling. Warren and Sanders are competing over less than 40 percent of the voters. Translation: More than 60 percent are reluctant to vote for the most…

I know it’s frustrating to be so certain that you’re right about something and then have somebody who knows way more about that thing than you do explain in clear terms why—even if you were right (which you may or may not be), it doesn’t matter, because you’ll lose.

Medicare For All starting with a public option, as it was mostly assumed would be the path until recently, would not be far left. A majority of people like the idea of being able to buy into Medicare if they want to, or staying with ther employer based or private health care. Lots of unions, the heart of the…

The fact that nearly every G/O platform except for The Root is stridently anti-Obama should be a major red flag to all the neohippies who think this place is God’s gift to progressivism. 

Don’t throw shade at Obama. He won twice so he knows how to win shit.

Please please please let perfect be the enemy of the good #winningstrategies

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Obama is for providing people with health care, affordable insulin, affordable college, and lead-free water.

How do you write this blog without the rest of his quote? I mean, he literally says we should push for something greater, he’s just asking those with privilege to consider what they are asking those without privilege to risk in that push.

But we HAD a sexy scandal — literally — and it did nothing to move the “average voter.” The reality is the average American voter is a god damn feckless moron with no moral center.
