Secretly taped audio reveals Democratic leadership pressuring progressive to leave race

Caveat #1: Did not read the piece.
Caveat #2: I get the outrage at this sort of thing.

With those things said, isn’t the party supposed to win as many races as possible, and aren’t they meant to push the candidates they think have the best chance to win (right or wrong)? Maybe this stuff isn’t “fair” but it seems totally expected to me.

Agree entirely. And at the end of the day, they’re going to vote with the party the vast majority of the time and probably drift left - e.g. Gillibrand (used to be anti-immigrant and pro-gun); Doug Jones is also known to be more liberal than he let on.

We the Democratic party to move to the left and abandon all of it’s corporate bullshit holdovers from the Reagan era. Reagan had a horrible administration by the way.

I didn’t think you were that old.

I don’t agree completely with his reasoning, but I thought Kanye (West) has a good idea about putting Michael Jordan on the $20 bill.

WYSHS

I know I shouldn’t but the star of Space Jam on money would be awesome.

Since when do you have to live through a historical event to be educated on it?

Take it to the out of context thread.

Fucked up writing aside, I’m still right.

Then we should put Bill Murray on the $2, Gandalf on the $10, Mario on the $1, and Captain James T. Kirk on the $5.

Quite often. Being sufficiently educated to pass a meaningful value judgment on an administration or historical event is generally not an easy task. Sounded like you were speaking based on your own experience of that time, especially since the consensus is that Reagan was terrific 😉

No one on Earth is allowed to have an opinion on anything that happened before 1901.

I can’t decide if that’s too restrictive or not restrictive enough. For what it’s worth the Boston Tea Party was horrible, what between the cultural appropriation and waste of good tea.

I had a post written about Reagan, but I don’t know exactly how much of what I mentioned is actually true, but suffice it to say that my cursory knowledge of the US before my time leads me to believe that Reagan was most definitely not terrific.

Truth is for the birds, anyhow.

That’s not the consensus and I know what I’m talking about. I’m well read on American history and Reagan’s presidency. I’m not an expert but I have more than a layman’s understanding of him.
