If you impose a higher tax burden on Amazon, the result would be higher prices for consumers. Consumers are also voters. Do we liberals really want to argue for higher prices in an election year? We liberals mustn’t let radical leftists goad us into such foolishness.

The Rural Purge of 1971 was a political tragedy, especially the cancellation of Hee Haw. The Purge created an unbridgeable and permanent cultural divide between us coastal liberals and the yokels in flyover country. Up until the Rural Purge, Democrats were doing a great job pretending to respect hillbillies and their…

This is not a complicated issue.  Kobe Bryant fans comprise a significant voting bloc which we liberals need to win the next election and make Trump a one-term President. Republicans are well aware of that. You better believe Republicans will be condemning Felicia Sonmez in the harshest possible terms, and we liberals…

Stewart is spot on. Too many of us liberals have already forgotten that President Obama was a master at sprinkling artfully drawled “y’alls” and “folks” into his patter in flyover country. God bless Jon Stewart for reminding us.

Real liberals are not rigid ideologues like Bernie Sanders. We value pragmatism over purism and we will not risk giving Trump another term by pandering to Schwarzenegger Republicans in La La Land.

I should have said one voter outside California, which is its own world. It’s also a deep blue state at the federal level and therefore irrelevant to beating Trump. There is no reason to sacrifice swing votes to appease a state that is going to vote Democratic anyway.

Show me one climate change voter who isn’t also a reliable Democratic voter. You can’t, because there are none. We need to focus on swing voters.  Swing voters don’t want to hear about climate change, and they’re the ones we need in November. Any messaging that detracts from winning their votes is foolishness.

This climate stuff isn’t helping us beat Trump.

Secretary Clinton is right. Sanders has exploited Democrats’ laudable preference for party unity, but party unity is not a suicide pact. Increasingly Democrats are realizing the most dangerous enemy is the one inside your gates.

Joe and Pete are the Batman and Robin of the Democratic Party. If the Times had to endorse two candidates, Joe and Pete are the only pair that makes sense. Why the Times would pass them over in favor of a bomb-throwing leftist radical like Elizabeth Warren is beyond me. Her rabble-rousing and flagrant disrespect for…

What the hell is the point of a Hillary documentary?

I’m still convinced that you are a joke account posting sarcastic comments.

Every time I read hateful words such as yours I am thankful the American people have the good sense to ignore the haters and trust President Obama’s judgment. That’s why Joe has been the frontrunner for the entire race. Nothing you leftist malcontents throw at Joe will ever stick as long as he has President Obama’s…

How can you call yourself a Democrat when you have so little respect for President Obama’s judgment? President Obama had full confidence in Joe and still does today. If he didn’t, don’t you think he would speak up and say so? Of course he would.

It’s intuitively obvious that the candidate who is best suited to carry on President Obama’s legacy is President Obama’s Vice President. It’s mind-boggling that we’re still arguing about that.

I confess to having misjudged Senator Elizabeth Warren. I thought she was in a socialist cabal with Bernie Sanders to hijack the Democratic Party and discredit liberalism, but it turns out she was a solid liberal all along. She played Bernie Sanders like a fiddle.  If the Democratic Party has been saved from a…

Castro is a nice person, but he faced an opponent who was out of his weight class. Mayor Pete’s political acumen and killer instinct are head-and-shoulders above all the other young candidates who have sought to claim President Obama’s mantle. All must step aside and quit embarrassing themselves.

Hate to say it, but Castro is done in presidential politics. There can be only one young presidential candidate to carry President Obama’s legacy forward, and that’s Mayor Pete. Julian fought valiantly, but the dream is over.

You talk about furthering your interests, but you seem unable to understand that you get nothing if you backstab your party. If you want the party to help you, you must first help the party. After the election, rewards will be doled out in proportion to each faction’s demonstrated loyalty.  The disloyal receive only…

How on Earth can the Democratic base’s relationship to the party possibly be a transactional relationship? It implies that the base has license to stay home or cast a protest vote(Green Party!) if it doesn’t get what it wants. That’s madness! There is no contingency in which voting Green can ever be deemed acceptable.…
