The Democratic Party
I know plenty of guys like this and I've given up arguing with them about the perceived leftward shift. It's not a useful assessment of anything, it's always either (or both) (1) performative independence (dudes love this shit), and/or (2) ignorance based on a poor media diet and an inability to understand how media focus and framing affects an audience's perception.

The Democratic Party
This is overly simplistic, but does fairly describe a certain part of the Democratic establishment. It's wrong on a few things, most notably the establishment's support for austerity. We've seen a huge shift away from austerity politics among establishment Dems since Obama's presidency. There's literally only a handful of elected Congressional Dems who might still buy in to the austerity shit, and that's because they're dumb enough to genuinely believe it's necessary, economically speaking. The true part (and the part that's really at the heart of what's wrong with the party) is that it's a party of consultants and careerists (we could actually use more opportunists in the Democratic party). The consultants keep their status within the party by insisting on the importance of polls, focus groups, etc. to winning, and the careerists think the point of the party is a jobs program for good soldiers. Those who feel they've waited their turn react more negatively to someone they see as skipping the line than they do to anything Republicans do, because beating Republicans is secondary to maintaining their own place within the party.

Israel vs everyone war thread
We need a moratorium on drunk arguing on surly. If you're gonna drunk post, go post some tits in NSAA or something. Getting loaded and coming here to bitch at people for not being big enough supporters of the military or whatever is pathetic.

Yeah but Barrett loves to sound sane in oral arguments then rule with Alito.

I'm gonna need the Glorious Kahn Pritzker to get creative. He can't let Newsom be the only Dem publicly fighting this administration.

Skipper, where were you on January 6, 2021?

It’s very funny that skipper got mad at me for calling him a conservative when he’s here downplaying how fucking weird and infantile Trump is.

They're ruining "daddy" for all the well meaning perverts out there. Truly, nothing is safe from them.

But have you considered that Chuck Schumer makes up fake voters in his head and wonders how they'll respond to certain messages/policies? Yes, he really does this.

They wanted to keep the emperor as a figurehead. US officials were split and didn't want to agree to that. The real bitch of it all is that we later let him keep the throne. Also, relying on a fucking LLM to fact check should get an instaban.

Being interesting certainly helps, but that's not even strictly speaking necessary. Bernie isn't interesting but motivated a hell of a lot of people. The minimum is that you have to seem like you give a shit about something that other people want you to give a shit about. This isn't complicated, centrist Dem strategists just overcomplicate it because they need to do so to keep getting hired on campaigns that fail too often and underperform always.

Pray tell, what part of Kamala's campaign was far left? Or was it nominating a candidate who wasn't a white man that you consider far left?

I didn't say you're a trumper, I said you're a conservative. It's pretty obvious from your posting history.

Not to sidetrack the thread further, but I think this is misleading. Nobody actually knows what happened. The most likely theory has always been that someone hacked Hunter's email and loaded up genuine emails along with a bunch of bullshit on a laptop that might have been stolen from Hunter or might've been another laptop entirely. What's pretty clear is someone tampered with the data on the laptop. It might've been Russians, it might've been GOP operatives. We don't know and probably never will. Marcy Wheeler has a good summary of all the knowns and unknowns here: https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/24/embarrassingly-wrong-the-ongoing-misinformation-campaign-about-the-hunter-biden-hard-drive/.

Two MN lawmakers and their spouses shot by someone impersonating police
This isn’t even the first time a right wing murderer has pretended to be the right’s fake lefty conspiracy version of himself as a troll. You’re basically promoting a terrorist’s manifesto. Good work, dipshit.
