My apologizes. So you think a bit of advice is going to change the mind of a guy who thinks we’re in a holy war with Islam, in any meaningful way, other than to reinforce the notion that all these people are from the same school of thought that military interventionism is always good?

Since 2008 how has the strategy of negotiating/compromising with Republicans worked for the Democratic party? Also, why do all of you lunatics use identical rhetoric about “being adults and grown-ups.” Exactly what does that mean to you, other than implying that “DNC types just no better than you!” Again, point me in…

Yes, You’ve clearly owned me here.

lol. Thanks grown person with a muppet avatar!

Deflecting from what? Your super intelligent point that Hillary is “an adult.”

Don’t you have shit to do today, Philippe?

Ha. That’s a pretty big assumption. How’d that whole campaign of “she’s the adult!” work 2 years ago? Maybe voters don’t want the “Adult.” Maybe, and hear me out I know this sounds crazy, they want to be offered something to mitigate the post-capitalist hellscape that we all live in!

lol. Yes the guy who thinks we’re in a holy war with Islam is much saner than the rest of the people in the Executive branch.

It’s completely insane how you’re not offended by this as a Hillary voter. No fucking shit he’s going to be the SoS with or without her help. Why would you want to be remembered of helping in anyway this objectively evil administration in anyway? There’s no incentive not to not help, actually. History will at least…

It’s mind blowing to me that the #Resistance warriors aren’t the slightest bit perturbed by their idol doing anything whatsoever beneficial to help the Trump agenda. This should probably be a lot more upsetting that it apparently is to a lot of you.

On what planet have any Republican been willing to listen to literally any Democrat since the Obama years? Compromising with Republicans has only led to disenfranchisement among the left. There no reason to continuously do this, yet, here we are again.  

Hell of a hill to die on here.

If you consider yourself to be on the left, there’s really no way you can look at an ostensibly leftist politico offering any advice to Mike Pompeo, as anything but bad! I don’t get why you guys twist yourselves in knots justifying everything she does! You should be extremely upset with her like the rest of us! She…

And one would think someone ostensibly on the left would reject providing advice to a bad person out of moral principle!

“These were lengthy calls seeking advice” from the former secretaries, a person familiar with Pompeo’s prep work told POLITICO. “He understands the gravity of the challenge before him.”

Ahh. I see. Convince the Islamophobe Republican conspiracy theorist, who spent years haranguing you over Benghazi, and called John Kerry a traitor of Pragmatism. Fucking galaxy brain, my guy.

Your definition of “helping” and mine must differ. Generally speaking when a very bad person seeks your advice, you have no obligation to do so. And I suspect if it were anyone but Hillary Clinton you’d more than likely agree. I don’t understand this weird cult of personality.

There’s really nothing to gain by helping a bigot and war monger, (along with someone who has spent years slandering you) except bad optics to the people you need to show up.

The political view of not wanting to engage in unwinnable quagmires overseas that drain the west of blood and treasure until its inevitable collapse as Bin Laden predicted? That political view? I don’t particularly think it’s an unreasonable one!

Why is the first reflex from you guys always something like “you pleabs don’t understand! Adults realize you have to compromise with interests completely opposed from your own constantly!” There’s really no reason for her to corporate with him unless she shares his world views. The Clinton wing of the Democratic…
