And now, assuming Dems can take the Senate and White House, it’s actually possible that a public option (among other fixes) might pass which wasn’t going to happen in 2008

I’ve said many times before that hardcore modern “progressives” don’t care about actually getting things done, it’s all about optics and saying the “right” things no matter how impossible it is for them to actually pass

“Get with the program”

So let’s not actually try to improve it, just chuck it out and start over...

“A public option should have been a stepping stone”

Uh...wasn’t (and isn’t) one the the huge complaints “progressives” had (have) re: Obamacare that it didn’t include a public option or allow negotiations and/or have price controls for drug costs?

Ermahgerd, that’s sexist!

Thank you! That’s what drives me insane whenever Kaepernick comes up. Yes, he’s not as bad as his detractors want to make him out to be but he’s not as good as his supporters want him to be either

“and neither major party cares about addressing them”

“Throwing rocks at the Democratic party is part and parcel of the movement”

I have theory that literally everything that comes out of right-wingers mouths/brains can be attributed to one (or more) of 3 things: money, projection, and bigotry 

Please, explain to the class how that is exactly

“If someone has an argument as to why districts with massive illegal alien populations should have greater political representation, please make it”

And they still don’t care because it largely won’t effect them

I have theory that literally everything that comes out of right-wingers mouths/brains can be attributed to one (or more) of 3 things: money, projection, and bigotry

That’s what drives me up the fucking wall pretty much every day on here. People are still bleating about needing to “motivated” (themselves and/or others) to vote for a hypothetical Dem candidate

This is the problem I have with hardcore “progressives” which I’ve voiced here many times (and probably one of the reasons I’m still gray). It seems to me that they don’t actually care about actually getting anything done that they claim to want; it’s all just about optics. They endlessly cheer anyone who says and…

He’s probably afraid that she’ll mistake his disproportionately tiny head for a soccer ball and kick the shit out of it

“even though it’s unlikely when he’s probably got fingerprints on all of the gerrymandering happening across the country” 

That’s probably the best description of it I’ve ever seen
