Gotta read the fine print. And by fine print I mean Ariel Black 72pt.

These things happen sometimes…

Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries may control the official party apparatus, but when it comes to communicating and connecting with constituents and energizing the base, AOC and Bernie are clearly the only ones acting as opposition leaders.

His reply was perfectly civil and mature. You’re the one who’s acting childish.

Doesn’t matter what he did if he couldn’t do the one thing we elected him to do, keep Trump out o office. Everything he did will be undone and the only legacy he’ll have is being a sad footnote between two Trump terms.

Right. He dominates every news cycle saying like five unhinged things every day and people tune out after a while, and then they ignore what’s happening when he actually does something unhinged.

I really do think they are just controlled opposition at this point. The sooner we realize that, and that electoral politics are not going to be our way out of this the better.

Kind of irrelevant what her reasoning is. It’s a bad and stupid move politically. People are frustrated with the dems and are disengaging. They need change in leadership if they want to remain relevant. Pelosi and her ilk are out of touch and will run the country into the ground if they don’t step aside.

He might be the best candidate for hateful idiots though. The guy’s a chud whisperer. I’m not sure if any smarter more articulate Republican could hold together the same radical coalition.

Even if it is impossible with the current math, it’d be nice to hear some politicians loudly calling for expanding the court or impeachment. Seems to me if we want to get a strong majority, we need some leadership that actually promises some things people really want. Aside from AOC, nobody seems to want to talk about real ways to fix the court. They seem to be content to just ride it out and hope at some vague point it gets better.

I think conventional wisdom on political strategy is long overdue for an update.

I don’t know. It’s been pretty clear for a while that the traditional Democrat strategy of winning by courting centrists and staying the course has been less and less effective every election. Tapping into enthusiasm for leftist policies and energizing the base to increase turnout has seemed like the better move for a while. That’s what Obama won big on and then completely failed to deliver.

Staying the course with the “nothing will fundamentally change” candidate was always a path to losing, and after his disastrous policy on Gaza we were in a nosedive.

Tim waltz seems like a good pick. Seems to have a bit of the Bernie, no-bullshit, authenticity that plays well with independents.

She’s done far more good than bad. This kind of purity testing is why the left in this country is so weak.

They’re already voting for trump.

Calling people “illegal” is dehumanizing. The fact that this is what outrages you in this story kind of says it all.
