I was shouting this from the rooftops when people were favoring her over Kevin de Leon who ran against her in 2018. He refused to bring up her age and got stomped.

The only way to move the country left is to move sightly to the right and pretend that the left didn’t exist! Also, **claps and tears paper**

The woman who manages to LOSE the Democratic majority every time she holds the reigns of power?

Who is also the same woman who resisted impeachment up until Ukraine finally boiled over.

I think saying every Democrat since FDR/Hoover won by campaigning as a liberal populist is extremely reductive. I’d say the same for saying Republicans have been attacking Democrats as socialists since then. And all Democrats between FDR and Clinton only managed to win one term each, not just Carter.

Comments on every other election article on here is people complaining that BLM organizers need to tone it down because the message is alienating, so I don’t have a lot of hope.

They all knew it was a doomed imperialist project yet went ahead under some “humanitarian intervention” rationale to save civilians blah blah blah bullshit.... Those fake rebels hated Gaddafi and hated Black Libyans/Africans equally, which is why they sort to enslave, purge & exterminate them all. Fuck that project!…

For someone who’s now over the whole thing about “first black” & black symbols, the image of a black couple (esp. a dark skin black woman) dominating the world’s political stage was a big thing for the black world - most definitely a powerful symbol of Black Love. I voted for Barack because of Michelle, simple!

Also, you’re so worried about getting votes from swing voters that you’ll never get, that you’re going to alienate Atlanta voters by trying to distance from BLM. So, incredibly stupid.

And the Democrats think the progressive ideas are what’s bringing down the party! It’s just stunning that Biden didn’t take his narrow victory for the rebuke it was. It doesn’t matter if Democrats win the presidency if they just continue the policies of their Republican predecessor. Biden’s presidency is basically…

I read what you wrote, it doesn’t make any sense.  “Americans are economically liberal so pretend your ideas are economically conservative” is dumb.

No one is telling any member they have to run on defunding the police anywhere.  That is just not an argument anyone is making.  It is centrist Democrats trying to tell progressive Democrats what positions they can have, not the other way around.

There is not any reason that any Democrat has to let any Republican define what any particular campaign was about. If a candidate got defined by a freshman representative from outside of their district, if they got defined by positions that they don’t hold (indeed, that almost no Democrats actually hold, and that no…

I think people also forget that those progressive lefties frequently get that way by being VERY involved in their communities. I live in Omar's district and her office is amazingly responsive and her campaigning was no fucking joke. We had two lame ass moderates trying to primary her and they got stomped. If Dems have…

I don’t live in Abigail Spanberger’s district, but close enough so that I saw her campaign commercials, and if those were any indication, she struggled because she was a garbage candidate who had absolutely no message except “I used to be in the CIA and I’ll stand up to my own party sometimes.” That just doesn’t…

I would say aversion to risk is the biggest stone around the Democratic Party’s neck, except all the caution and concerned ones are liars. Good intentions are easy to fake and it doesn’t cost them thing to pin the “progressive” label to their shirts and let their hearts bleed so everyone can see. They’re the ones…

I think that the LP middle age and older guys realized a while ago that the jig might soon be up. They are like the guys in hoodies at the rally waiting for the protesters to march and make noise so they can slip in there, break some store windows and scoop up a laptop or two before running away to plan their next…

I spend enough time in leftbook groups to know that this type of humor isn’t popular with kids. Gen Z humor is like 3 layers of post-absurdism, not impressions or lip syncing.
