@daneel

the media was too unfairly tough on Trump during campaign

Sorry to steal this gif from its normal users, but…

That image of pure skepticism belongs to us all now.

Is it too early to congratulate Representative Wu?

Yes. Yes it is

Forbco Management School

Seems legit.

@LearnedCoward

Is it too early to congratulate Representative Wu?

Not while she’s still posting things like this.

That’s Dan Quayle dumb. Please tell me it’s out of context

Displaying as Han Solo is meant to be a negative?

From the PoV of the ones who actually are the wretched hive of scum and villainy, sure it is.

The problem is that the progressive left backed Obama

Um, say what now?

That’s not the progressive, “left of the Dem establishment” side that I’m on. My “progressive” camp thinks Obama bears a shit-ton of responsibility for laying the groundwork that led to Trump. Basically republican-lite, that smooth-talking friend of big donor money and such.

The progressive left needs to actually join sides with the corporate left to win elections.

There is no “corporate left”.

There’s just capitalist corporate right and fascist corporate right. They’re both actively opposed to the economic interests of the working class, and they’re both committed to policies that are geopolitically and environmentally catastrophic, albeit in slightly different ways.

And over Russia, no less. Instead of, you know.

[emo_pinata]

So you are saying in 2008 progressives didn’t back Obama?

[/quote]You’re right, I should have put the left in quotes, because I don’t feel they are left leaning at all.

I have not seen this CNN clip before, did it get passed around years ago?

Just speaking for myself, I did in 2008 because he offered at least the possibility of change, but I didn’t in 2012.

Why the Alt-Left Is a Problem, Too

There is no such thing as the “alt-left.”

I like the last article, the first is garbage click bait with the self-awareness of that O’Reily screen capture and the second is better and the headline is absolutely correct. The last actually talckles the most obvious split in the non-fascist right in the country and warns that sainting of Obama is not a good thing.
