It is a pretty wild argument. It’s an incredibly dishonest and fucked-up thing right-wing media has done.
No, not everyone. Just those too precious to help others, and those who’ll sow discord because they don’t understand how American politics works.
She was unelectable. I called it in 2012. But she wasn’t terrible or weak. She actually did very well as far as building a base. And she was damned progressive, I seriously hope you fuckers are just tripping balls all the time ffs. “Nothing progressive”, you either know shit or that’s a goddamned lie.
Preach it, I was there. In this magical fantasy world where politics follows our monarchical decrees, Bernie would have been our guy. Enough fools didn’t agree. Yes, even if we account for DWS’s fuckery. Hestill didn’t carry enough primary votes. Ok? It sucks. Yeah.
Yep. Bob Dole - same thing there. JEB! was supposed to get his, but that’s how this shit was always run. Listen, what these whiny shitheads fail to realize is that national party politics - the kind that actually function, that change things - are the same no matter what the platform is.
They got a worn copy of Das Kapital and a handful of Stop Oil soup cans? Great! They’ll have the same challenges, the same fight, and the same bullshit. Because politics is not new. And being a precious Li’l Progressive who just can’t bring themselves to help stop fascism is just the first of many failures to endure while they learn all the things everyone has been telling them the whole time.
Yeah cause fighting trump is a goddamned knee-slappin’ HOOT. How great to have violent racist idiots on one side and arrogant, naïve chucklefuck “progressives” or whatever the fuck they are on the other.
