    You friggin’ just swept the elections in part because you showed you have a spine. Don’t throw it all away now. Force the GOP and Trump to reconsider: if there is a trillion dollars for the military, then there is money for SNAP AND ACA subsidies.

        The DNC loves to shoot itself in both feet and also its face, preferring to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory whenever possible.

        In short, they seem to love losing. I hope they hold fast and do some actual fighting with what positions they have.

          With their attempts at glazing Cheney the past few days, you would think mainstream Democrats which they had been Dick Cheney’s hunting partner.

        They often stun themselves with their own confusion, it’s true. Mostly because they are a center-right party and no longer represent the left. That’s where they keep getting confused. Stop pandering to those who don’t want to govern.

    Lose what? They are more likely to get their bribe money if they cave. But might get voted out. But probably won’t. They don’t care.

    I zero expectations of the democrats to do anything right, that’s exactly why I keep saying the progressives have to split off. The Democratic Party establishment will always stab you in the back. They are the enemy of our enemy, but that does not mean they are not a threat.
