Ha! But that would require the American People to come to terms with the idea that the United States was founded as a way for only white English-speaking men to take advantage of the land and labour that they stole from others, that the high-minded ideals they espoused weren’t for this history of the country worth the…

I like when the woman takes him the fuck down right before the cops whisk him away

Booker is pushing this because Big Pharma wants to be in the marijuana business. This is the same man who voted against cheaper drug prices just a few months ago; they own him. Booker wakes up every morning wondering how he can be the next corporate Democrat to thoroughly alienate his base and lose to Trump in a…

Yeah, I’m legitimately surprised he did this. The only thing I can think of is that he reassured his paymasters there was NO CHANCE it would pass, so it burnishes his liberal creds while not actually endangering his constituents’ profits.

I am sure this will get past the Congress.

Beats sucking Hillary’s cock. There’s a lot of that going on around here.

And who didn’t campaign in Wisconsin? Hillary.

I’ll give you that he has problems with minorities and older women, that is true. Young women favorable with him though, while young blacks, it’s only a sliver more favorable than Clinton.

And been consistently losing House, Senate, and state governments.

The DNC is beyond incompetent.

That’s only half the story. For decades the Dems have refused to fight the Republicans on their own terms. The Democrats ALLOWED the right to gerrymander their way into this situation, where no matter the appeal of the Democratic candidate, they can realistically never, EVER win. The Dems never pushed back on…

Oh but they’re impressed by insane, religious fundamentalist, racist, war hawk corporatists (republicans) and insane, slightly less racist, war hawk corporatist weaklings (democrats). I would be willing to bet that if a progressive third party candidate (let’s say the Greens) were allowed to debate side by side on CNN…

Before I even read any of the comments.

So tired of the popular vote argument. It is such a red herring. It’s like arguing your team should have won the game because they had more passing yards.

Obama won because he hit her hard on the Iraq war. Her vote to go into Iraq was the key issue in the primary, and it crushed her.

How about starting with the actual progressive candidates that did run in Montana and Kansas for special election but got almost no help from the DNC, whereas centrist android Jon Ossoff receives the most money for a rep election ever. And he still fucking lost!

So maybe, and hear me out, maybe we just hold a primary where people who might consider running won’t view it as a waste of time because the party has anointed a savior. Maybe, just maybe, we wind up with the kind of participation we had in 2004 and someone like a John Kerry with less baggage emerges from the crowd.

Honestly, why not the Greens? Your line of thinking is exactly why shit is never gonna change. If the Dems felt the heat of the Greens (or any other progressive party) having a chance of upstaging them then they would start to actually reach out to the people. The two party system is a sham and every election is a…

Good on them.
