And I hate this incrementalist BS but I don't think we can realign the party AND prepare for a critical race at the same time. It would be a ridiculous feat of political organization and as the old joke goes - "I don't belong to an organized political party, I'm a Democrat." Lmao so true, especially the quote. I fear whats going to happen, either 2018 or 2020 (post-Trump) Dem party civil war will be on full display.[2017-6-24. : 10:53 pm] Broflamingo -- Mini Moose 2707Mini Moose 2707 shouted: Excalibur http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=regressive MADDOX OWNS[2017-6-24. : 10:53 pm] Voyager7456 -- BroflamingoBroflamingo shouted: Voyager7456 Agreed, but thats in the planks.

And as a far lefty, it's killing me, but reclaiming seats has to win out over ideological purity. There was an article in the NYT voy. It was titled "ESTABLISHMENT WANTS TO WIN. THE BASE WANTS IT ALL". But the establishment Isn't winning.[2017-6-24. : 10:48 pm] Voyager7456 -- BroflamingoBroflamingo shouted: Voyager7456 After that embarassing defeat in Georgia, the question came back to haunt them. Ossof was an empty suit. I'm not sure you can read much into Ossoff. That seat is usually solid red. |
