“many cannot read and are already jumping to calling her a Communist/Marxist”

Is the Left going to embrace anything other than pandering to the so called moderate Republicans, trying to take the moral high ground when dealing with craven, unhinged sociopaths and caving on everything?

It cracks me up how many moderate loyalist democrats think the DSA is just too radical and extreme when they’re the most reasonable, sensible group on the left (looking at you, PSL)

I, a socialist, fully support this motion.

Friend, it's about to turn the right kind of red (Left).

Fuck that, we NEED the dems to get primaried by socialists. No more half measures. 

Great news. Maybe Dems will stop being such pussies and embrace the so called “far Left.”

Behold the future of our party. Centrism doesn’t work anymore in a hyperpartisan environment. Our only opportunity is to provide a genuine alternative to the status quo, and this is it.

Friendly reminder: not only do we need to vote out the GOP motherfuckers, we need the Dems to fear getting primaried by socialists. Bill Clinton sent the Dems into the weeds of bootlicking plutocrats for a generation by triangulating for moderate centrists; we take the party, and our country’s, soul back by…

Y’know, even as someone who’s kinda iffy on the utility of electoral politics these days, I’m gonna allow myself to say “this is nice.” I’m also gonna allow myself to say stomping Dem machine politicians is pretty nice too. 

From my comment over on Splinter about this:

Look at post from Publius in Extremis above.

As a centrist I say we let the legislative and electoral processes work, and all this unpleasantness will sort itself out.  Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to resume reading this new Dan Brown thriller.  

Well a complete leftist like her can't win the general! .... What do you mean this is a D+29 seat that will never go red, don't bother me with facts here. /s

I am girding my loins in anticipation

Lynch made a great point that no one has been able to dent Trumps’s appeal, that our leaders, in opposition as well as same party, are in fact doing shit jobs figuring out how to counter him 

THANK YOU! I read the Guardian piece the same way. When I saw the Jez piece all I could think was ‘you clickbaiting sons of bitches....”

Good thing Ocasio-Cortez did in fact win!

Hold on a second.... Did people actually think David Lynch’s quote actually meant he thought Trump was good? I didn’t get that at all. I read it as Lynch recognizing Trump as this real and affecting danger.

she gets that they have to put on the be-nice face
