Just a reminder that Clinton had deep press connections and so acting like her elevating of Trump didn't impact other media sources is a bit disingenuous. It was a campaign strategy to elevate Trump, and that included working with "friendly" journalists.
Did people forget that Correct the Record were literally keyboard warriors employed by the DNC to go and do exactly the kind of shit I'm complaining about online. Shitting all over progressives and forum sliding?
You forget the democratic party isn't the progressive party. Look at New Hampshire. When Bidens not on the ballot people are writing him in. Democrats are a big tent you can't just boot out the centrists or the neo-liberals and expect to win anything.
It sucks, and it double sucks because fascism is looming and the Dems are pretending everything is status quo. They sit in a high tower thinking progress is something serfs will win all on their on and when they do they'll be just as protective of the status quo. It's delusional but we need these guys or we need to turn the 50% of Americans who don't even want to be involved.
End of day we can criticize Biden but we don't fucking have to keep on bringing up Hillary.
Wrong. You can expect the neo-liberals to fall in line in the exact same way they expect progressives to fall in line.
Progressives are not uniquely enlightened, and you cannot reliably expect them to be the “bigger man” indefinitely.
You know, Ill agree with you. I just don't think an election where Trump is on the ticket is the right time to test it.
I will keep bringing up Hillary every single time Trump & 2016 are mentioned together. We got one because of the other and people like to "forget".
