This. I think getting the more conservative areas used to the idea that center-left (or just center) Democrats can be effective leaders in their areas means that, down the road, we could shift more geography blue.

I’m all for a move for more progressive candidates in the Dems - but we also have to at least pay lip…

Conservative Democrats getting elected in conservative districts where previously there were ultra-conservative (or just radical) Republicans is still a win. Voting with you sometimes is better than voting with you never.

Okay, so Mom and Gram’s look happy, but it’s like Deep Thoughts with Kim K. in that picture. Ugh, and the roots.

I am SO HAPPY Tom and Abby are engaged. That man seemed so caring and full of joy to give. Congrats (again), you crazy kids!

Is it “victim-shaming” if I say that grown-ass whiteman Rex Tillerson could have left at any time if he didn’t like the abuse? Seriously, I’m torn a little between feeling sorry he had to work for a fuckstick and laughing that he CHOOSE to work for a fuckstick.
