yup yup
Democrats faced a third term challenge, russian espionage, domestic espionage, ran against absolutely insanely effective race-baiting, and had to recover from a well-poisoning primary. And still "won" by 2 points. That is not a basis to tear the party down.
Bernie had the right message and was an unstoppable noble hero of amazingness but somehow couldn't be bothered to realize that southerns can vote. Maybe he would have won! But he didn't, and if he really was "the answer" he failed to convince people in the primary this was true.
Bernie fans. Seriously. We want to work with you. We know Hillary fucked up. We know how important candidate authenticity is. We want more populist economic appeals. Bernie is an important part of the team now. We need to work together.
If you need to be angry for a few weeks then be angry. That is fair and appropriate. But at some point y'all need to realize who your friends are.
The FBI was called "Trumpland" from sources inside the bureau. He dropped the letter in order to get ahead of any leaks from the Trumpkins inside his office and in doing so absolutely cost a point or two for Hillary.I still can't believe what Comey did.
Trump lost the popular vote but won the EC. The election was close, close enough that Comey's actions (and the media's BOMBSHELL response) absolutely could have affected the outcome.
The leader of the FBI literally insinuated rumors off of nothing, and likely changed the result of the election.
I hope his actions aren't forgotten.
Here's an article about Booker and the mirage his media team created - http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...bout-cory-booker-new-jersey-s-golden-boy.html. The Newark Watershed stuff would sink him in a primary.Probably corrupt? I don't know the details but I'm just gonna say he probably is since he's a Jersey politician lol. Scratch him off I guess.
I don't think she has near the baggage of Hillary, but yeah that Islamophobe stuff is pretty bad.
That stinks. Oh well, back to the bench.......
What about Gavin Newsome?
People are afraid for the lives of themselves and their families, dude. Empathy.
Is this a threat or a promise though to the people who want a nationalist protectionist agenda? Basically, they want a US version of UK Labour.I've got bad news for you. If the Dems pick up a Bernie Sanders economic agenda me and a shitload of other globalists pluralist Dems are going to get turned right the fuck off, and that is where the majority of the financing for the party comes from.
Newsom scares the shit out of me. Perhaps Hillary's loss makes him decide not to run for governor and instead travel the country/Iowa/etc. Talented as fuck, smart...but slimy and we know about the adultery/divorce/etc. Newsom waltzing into the race with Silicon Valley money could be effective. Not saying he'd win the nomination, but let's say he does. Does anyone think Gavin Newsom and his perfect hair and perfect suits is going to go into Pennsylvania and win over the voters he needs to win over? I'm not so sure.
How "they" gonna find you from Neogaf doe? How does that protect you?

One member of the Trump transition council is the former recipient of an illegal cash payment from Trump's fake charity.
Bernie Sanders did surprisingly well in the primaries. As a non candidate under non candidate scrutiny he had and will continue having higher favourables and polling numbers. They are not comparable. So yes it's a fantasy. He may have run better. He may not have.
And none of that means Nina Turner being the only other politician people can name because she backed him should be anywhere near anything. Good fucking grief.

I am a native-born Haitian American and a New York native from Brooklyn. Living in Florida, where Trump's victory hurt a lot. What are you insinuating from my comment? Of course I am owning up to it. As a Black American, I am going to be actively live with the consequences. The reality is that the Democratic Party is fighting for the future direction, and people are trying to move away from how things were managed for decades. I didn't play the game of heroes and scapegoats. Trump supporters either insulted me through racism and prejudice personally, or Clinton supporters called me an Uncle Tom, a sellout, or a naive, young millennial. Not on this board, but a lot of raw nerves were hit on a personal level.
There has been heartfelt reflection in this thread. I want to see the same amount of reflection from Sanders supporters. All parties had an equal amount of responsibility to elect the next president. Instead of complaining about how unreasonable GAF was, maybe talk about how Bernie failed, instead of how you think a shockingly narrow loss under utterly abnormal circumstances lead to a need to clean house. Because if Bernie was the answer, there are very clear and specific reasons he failed to show that that's the case.Seeing the meltdown of the Hillary-GAF and the quick turnaround and continued criticism of Sanders instead of heartfelt reflection is going to continue the antagonism.
Bernie had some of the right message....
It still needs work and expansion.
I've got bad news for you. If the Dems pick up a Bernie Sanders economic agenda me and a shitload of other globalists pluralist Dems are going to get turned right the fuck off, and that is where the majority of the financing for the party comes from.
There was a large contingent of Hillary primary voters that were actually turned off of his policies.
Had he been the nominee and Jeb or Kasich the R nominee I would have seriously considered going R.

The only populist issue that the Democrats can plausibly try to litigate is trade.You're harping on Nina Turner which was hardly the point of my post. Look, we need to run populist candidates. Period. The DNC, in their hubris, chose to ignore the political climate and go with the exact opposite - the insider that got clobbered in 2008 by the inexperienced unknown.
NO.Graham floating Ted Cruz for SCOTUS. Jesus this is what happens when republicans win...
I don't disagree. I was more hopeful and inspired by his campaign thanks to how personal it was than anything else. I loved getting to meet and know him in my state. And I still am even though he lost. He'd be a great person to run for President some day. How do we get him there though?One thing that also has to be taken into account with Kander is that he's insanely fuckable.
Just noticing that after looking through his Twitter feed.
And that can matter when we're analyzing how he did so well. May not be a huge part of it, but could matter.
Emails, though.
I'm gonna start watching the NBA again...
Emails, though.
He seriously nailed it. Stan Van Gundy did too a few nights ago. NBA coaches aren't afraid to speak their minds.
It's a reality. The Dems pitch a big tent which includes a lot of economic centrists. You can't go too far to either side. Obama struck a good balance. So did Hillary, she just never talked about it.
You have to avalanche the realities of globalism having already won with the need to take care of those who were left behind by it.
Trade wars and breaking up banks will cost you at least 10% of moderate Dems.

It's not too hard to make a post on GAF giving out some form of personal information which starts a paper trail that they can follow to find out your address or phone number.
Detective GAF does this all the time.
Oh, I know this. But I think you're at an uphill battle trying to convince anyone whose amazing power of hindsight among the millions of post-mortems thinks that running around talking about single payer would have won this.It's a reality.

What’s more, Booker has once again found himself challenged by a Republican candidate who seems like he does not even want to win—a gold standard-obsessed former Reagan speechwriter named Jeff Bell, who has not lived in the Garden State for thirty years, is rumored to be running his campaign operation out of a hotel lobby, and whose idea of an attractive platform is to attack unmarried women for skewing left-wing because they are dependent on food stamps.
So even though it seems plausible that Bell is a Democratic plant sent to further weaken the Republican Party in New Jersey, Booker—celebrity, super hero, motivational tweeter—is barely polling above 50 percent.
Breaking up the banks is a far left thing now?
True corruption is when you run a charity that fights AIDS
The email story was the perfect storm of shit people just did not get and just assumed it was 100% bad. I'll forever be frustrated by it since I have a background in tech and software.
The media, not knowing how shit worked either, just made it worse and more muddy.
What we need is someone with so much charisma that the media can't help but follow them around like a teenage girl in love and report on their every word, playing everything they say on the cable news channels on a goddamned loop. Just like they did with Bill and Obama.
Yes. It always was.
Even in 08 it was mostly the siren call of the most liberal protectionist wings of the party.
Actually having a non-hypothetical counter-factual is really useful.But single payer died a horrible death in Colorado of all places.
It's actually way more painful than that, if you want to follow me for a second.
The Comey letter can't happen without the discovery of emails on Weiner's computer.
But it turns out, of course, that all of those emails were personal or duplicate.
So why were those emails there in the first place?
Well, Huma had an iPhone. Like most of us with iPhones, she occasionally needed to charge her phone and didn't have a little plug available. So she'd plug it into the nearest computer.
At least once, that was Weiner's computer.
