The democratic party elites have presided over their party getting the brakes beaten off of it at the state and local level. Maybe someone who isn’t a democrat might be useful.

I’d thank you for not misgendering me, as I am a biracial man. Secondly,I never posted one solitary picture of Melania Trump. Never thought about her.

?

What did I say? That maybe, just maybe, people weren’t interested in a political candidate who had been anointed? That it would have been a good idea to throw the coalitions that were your base a bone by picking a progressive VP candidate, instead of the literal charisma vacuum that was Tim Kaine? That maybe, just…

Stop using them, and I’ll come up with a new word.

As one of about 7 or 8 scandals, you moppet. But sure. Pick out the emails. Pick out the emails, which would have been a disqualifying offense for just about any other presidential candidate.

I’m assuming you are going to get tired of creating strawmen and poor arguments eventually.

Both. She told you that being a woman was enough. Never mind her record on trade is abysmal, she was saber-rattling with Russia, the emails scandal, the Clinton Foundation scandal, her tight ties with wall street. Should I continue?

I voted for Jill Stein, you moppet. But as someone who lives in a blue city in a blue county in a blue state, I could have. I am appalled by Donald Trump’s continued existence, and by the fact that I, as a loyal Democratic voter, was given this shit sandwich of a ticket. The two things are not the same.

And so? Keith Ellison is, who endorsed Bernie when no one else did and is well-positioned to be the DNC chair. Elizabeth Warren is, and she represents a brand of progressivism this party needs (shameless silence on Standing Rock aside.) Nina Turner is. Sherrod Brown is. Should I keep going? Or do I have to find more…

Like, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Or because she ran to court bush-era republicans while ignoring working-class voters which has always been a loyal DNC voting bloc, picked a VP candidate who didn’t shore up any of her strengths while reminding us all of her weaknesses, and ran a cult of personality campaign when everyone and their mother could see…

The speech was emphasizing that you can’t have one without the other. I.E. It wouldn’t be good if a queer POC CEO was outsourcing jobs left right and center, or if a Latina woman was in charge of creating oppressive stop-and-frisk policies. These things would be bad irrelevant of identity.

Really? You took a speech where he said we needed politicians of every color, race, and creed to stand up for working class people of every color, race, and creed and took that to mean he was somehow trying to recruit just white men? Really?

I used Real Clear Politics. The point is that it’s a serious problem for the Dems on the state level, and beating the shit out of a popular Democrat doesn’t help.

For the love of Christ, this is not what he said. Stop implying this is what he said. I don’t know you, so I can’t say if you’re better than this. But please god, stop implying this is what he said.

Speaking out against #NODAPL and talking about what the DNC needs to do moving forward. But hey, strawman.

I feel like I need to post this speech. Whenever I feel dispirited about being a democrat, this gives me life.

So someone who is nearly universally recognized as a jackass acts like said jackass, and you’re all surprised?

Because I’m the sort of person who has a complicated relationship with male-female sexual interaction, I side-eyed this tweet for a minute before reading it again. I imagine, if I was anyone else who didn’t have a heap of baggage in this field, I’d look at this more as “Hey guys, now’s the chance to try it with the…
