This a brilliant strategy for splitting liberal votes in perpetuity and ensuring a steady stream of GOP wins. Thanks for dropping by, Governor LePage.

No. Vote for the most liberal person in the Democratic primary, and then vote for that person in the general election.
Seriously, there is no excuse to sit out midterm elections. And if you do, you don’t get to complain about how “Obama never DID anything” without getting smacked.
My friend and I were talking about this yesterday: who are the young rising liberal stars in Democratic politics? There really aren’t many. Even the NYT’s recent list of rising Democrats isn’t terribly inspiring. When you don’t support worthwile candidates down ballot, they don’t get a chance to move up the ballot,…
No this is the absolute wrong take away. You need to change the Democratic Party from within the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders’s success as a socialist is an absolute outlier. When it came time for him to be serious about running he had to join the Democratic Party because the only way to win the majority of the…
Fellow Democrats: if you want more liberal-leaning people at the top of the ticket, you need to vote more liberal people in down the ticket. That means showing up for primaries, that means actually knowing people’s policy positions, that means writing to your representatives about issues, that means grass-roots…
“I think Obama did actually a fantastic job. My conservative friends hate me for saying that, but I said it to Milo. I think actually if we have four more years of Obama I’d be quite happy.”
You say “reasonable political discourse,” I say “selective rationalization by a douche proving his douchieness.” Tomato/Rotten-Orange Skinned bigot.
This is the Republican bogeyman of big, bad Liberals taking away their money to pay for the poors. He brushes aside just about every other thing about this guy because he…
We don’t need to hear from both sides if one side is batshit crazy and their stance is indefensible. This is how Republicans are winning and manipulating the system. This is done for the sake of “good television,” and Trump supports get to go on the air and shout out talking points and memes to reinforce the “I hate…
When I hear “Political Beliefs” I think, you know, about disagreements about marginal tax rates or foreign policy. Not so much, you know, “should gay people have equal rights?”.
No. We cannot agree on this because you are wrong. And here is where the far left makes the classic GOP mistake over and over and over again. She’s not everything you hoped for in a candidate. “Doing better,” in your mind, means having someone probably like Bernie who advances ideas that all sound very good to you…
“a hate filled wastehole of no actual discussion,”
Most wouldn’t rape. Most would, however, doubt the accuser and protect the man accused.
How is she the greatest? I realize she is part of the history that brought us here, but if she’s willing to to look at things differently now, how is she still worse than Donald Trump? Seriously asking.
It’s tough when things are complicated isn’t it?
“The DOJ is on Obamas payroll - durrrrr”
“They’re both insane and dangerous! But you HAVE to pick one...”
That’s what I was alluding to at the end there--I’ve studied comparative politics closely, even in most European parliamentary systems it’s often the case the two major parties dominate, while smaller parties are parts of government forming coalitions that grab a small handful of seats in parliament and don’t really…
