And....there it is.  Before the election, it was “save it until after the election, getting Trump out of there is the top priority.”  Now, after the election, which Trump lost, it is “save it until after the Georgia runoffs.”  It doesn’t take much imagination to see that, after the Georgia runoffs, it will be…

The Republicans called us socialists! Let’s show them by becoming Republicans instead!

You are suggesting that the party has no room to be a large tent party. What you are effectively advocating for is the Republican strategy of complete submission and unity within the party. This is not good, and leads to a regressive government. Democrats absolutely need to be pulled to the left by progressives or…

Imagine losing an election, and instead of blaming the opposition, you blamed your own party... Imagine getting offers for help to organize the activists in your communities and turn out the vote, and turning them down because AOC or Ilhan Omar scared you more than calling out Donald Trump as a racist. Imagine, siding…

So then what is your suggestion? Expel them from the party? Censure them for supporting things? Come on, let’s hear it.

There should be far more conversation around that fact that Shalala (the centrist from Florida) lost to a GOP candidate who attached her to the socialist label, but at the same time a progressive reform passed with 60% of the statewide vote (a $15 minimum wage). That means there were A LOT of folks in Florida who…

While it’s true the Rs made that part of their campaign (they tried in Arizona, that’s for sure).. doesn’t that speak to a more complete and utter failure of these “centrists” to actually differentiate themselves among their own constituents?

It seems to me that AOC is perfectly right when she thinks the Dems in general…

I read what you wrote, it doesn’t make any sense.  “Americans are economically liberal so pretend your ideas are economically conservative” is dumb.

So the progressive leader should not be allowed to publicly hold progressive opinions?  Seems to me that if bad faith attacks had that much of an effect, the Democrats who it worked against ran poor campaigns.

Wait, hold on, allow me to personally extend my general fuck you to members of this party that are demanding everybody else speak in code to you specifically.

I feel for your friends. Really, I do. As a white woman that grew up in the 80s, I am constantly bewildered by how far we have regressed culturally.

However!

There is not any reason that any Democrat has to let any Republican define what any particular campaign was about. If a candidate got defined by a freshman representative from outside of their district, if they got defined by positions that they don’t hold (indeed, that almost no Democrats actually hold, and that no…

I dunno, maybe we shouldn’t be designing our slogans (and the policies behind them) around how the worst, most deluded people will interpret them.  Especially when the answer to how they will be interpreted is always “in bad faith.”  Like, maybe the woman you work with who was worried about BLM and Antifa riots isn’t…

Drugs?? It was a bag of marijuana...a plant that is legal (or decriminalized) in more than 30+ states . Please get with the times.

“Pence, who has not been quite as cavalier about the benefits of face masks as Trump, but has presented mask-wearing as a “personal choice.”

Nothing they say in this article about DND is false. The showrunners wanted spectacle and didn’t give a shit about where the show went, In later seasons, almost all the time and budget went towards the one battle sequence a season, nothing else. Earlier seasons entirely skipped battle sequences for a reason, there…

The people behind the scenes of Ellen’s show aren’t working in bumblefuck with no unionization or human resources. They’re grown ass people that I’m sure have held other positions before they got hired for the Ellen show. If that workplace has become so toxic their first stop should have been HR not fucking twitter.

That makes no sense. The Iron Islands and Dorne (especially House Dayne) have negative connections to House Stark, not positive ones. If anything, they’d be against Bran’s elevation. The Riverlands are essentially shattered as a political force. Gendry or any Baratheon bastard would make far more sense as a pretty figu…

But that makes no sense. Bran’s story isn’t common knowledge, so it’s a matter of inventing one to sell to the people. So, if you’re inventing a story, why use Bran at all? Bran is neither charismatic nor does his story have any cultural resonance to anyone outside, maybe, the North. I could maybe see that working for…

The best analogy I’ve ever seen is the $10 leather couch.

Ahhh...so what you want is for “the media” to report on it and then for no one else to say anything about it? To pretend that there is not an allegation out there of sexual assault against him? (Incidentally, your description of what Jezebel is, is a description of a media outlet...the “media” is not only defined as…
