Yep and Claire McCaskill was leading the charge. She was so furious the left didn’t embrace her for re-election- after she called them loons and co-sponsored legislation to repeal Dodd-Frank. Then went on a press tour trashing AOC, and picked up a job on Morning Joe and completely papered over any idea that she might…

I think what’s happened is the GOP was bought out by corporate interests long ago. The Democrats are fast catching up. “Now, now...let’s not be so hasty in getting rid of our terrible healthcare system, there’s a lot of campaign donati....I mean jobs tied up with Big Pharma and Big Insurance”.
I can’t understand how people are surprised by this.
I love how anything the left does nowadays is dismissed by centrists as right-wing tactics, while their entire attitude of dismissal, revulsion towards the ‘extreme left’ and co-option of right-wing tactics to vilify people like AOC is fair game and somehow immune to criticism.
The lurch to the right began in the 70s and went full bore in the 80s. In order to stay in power, Clinton did his best imitation of an 80s Republican. Then the Supreme Court stepped in and royally fucked the planet for generations.
“progressives are just whiny millenials who didn’t vote for Hillary because their so used to getting their way! They just threw a tantrum”
Disappointing article. Is it a baby boomer reaction for her to say 3-4 times “I was just elected. By a massive amount. I won.” Like that gives her a mandate to ignore everyone else? To ignore science? I ask because when I read her remarks she sounded exactly like Trump boasting he gets to make big boy decisions…
I remember the US pretty well before 9/11, when the Democratic Party made a conscious decision to chase after/undercut the right and passed or collaborated with them on cruel, punitive legislation like welfare “reform,” the crime bill, deregulation of the financial sector, DOMA, tax cuts for the wealthy, etc.
Believe women and girls, except when they’re challenging our centrist dinosaur.
wow the comments here are absolute trash
Oh fuck off, this wasn’t edited to twist her words, the pretentious bullshit coming out of her mouth is entirely her own.
Confession time. I’m a Washington Post and Slate troll, but not that kind. I look at it like this: these guys don’t care and/or don’t want to hear facts, figures, arguments, etc. There’s no mind changing. So I have a little fun instead.
I read the comments on this article specifically see who posted this video. You win!!
It’s a fairly safe bet that a lot of the people in that same intelligence community voted for Trump and the GOP. Even when Donny dismisses their life’s work, the majority will probably still vote for him.
But, again: Where’s the justice for the national nightmare that’s largely thanks to him?
Boban: [after Jimmy bricks the ball off the front of the rim] That’s two thus far, Jimmy.
Jimmy: Oh, you can count. Good for you.
Boban: And you can count, on me, waiting for you in the parking lot!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH.
Boban: Trying to hit a 3 from here, Jimmy?
Jimmy: That’s not possible, sir.
Boban: I beg to differ! Tobias Harris accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago!
Jimmy: [turning around] Well that’s good for Tobias Har— (turns around and sees Boban) My God!
Just like Magic in the 90's, looks like no one wants to go near him.
