Political Crossfire Forums

Yeah, you understand centrist-libs master plan for the future was:

*Hillary Clinton is elected president.

*We blast the Hamilton sound track and try to high five every black person we see in public.

*Some quasi-fascist Freedom Caucus member who thinks Muslims should be put into internment camps tweets a dumb joke about the taxpayer now being on the hook for providing tampons in the oval office. The most important order of business between now and the inauguration is writing "HOW DARE YOU SIR" open letters to this guy and telling him that we as Americans are better than this.

*Hillary Clinton is sworn in. It's an exciting new day, except just like the last 6 years we can't do anything because Republicans control both branches of Congress and we have absolutely no plan to ever win them back.

*This is fine. As long as we keep winning the white house forever, at least we can hold onto the insufficient half measures on like 2 issues that Obama signed 8 years ago.

Exploited, the discussion in this thread reminded me of two different articles I saw in the last few days:

This one is just an update on what we've already been all too aware of. The DCCC, run by a bunch of shitlib nerds in Washington DC, is ignoring the overtures of progressive grassroots candidates who have strong support in their community, opting to support dumbass centrist candidates who already ran and lost with their fail message. Emily's List, an organization with a stated goal of supporting "pro-choice women" who run for office ignored a progressive woman candidate who has the most pro-choice stance of anyone in her race, opting instead to help an establishment male candidate with a less firmly pro-choice position, though only behind the scenes rather than with an official endorsement, seeing as they are actively engaging in the exact opposite of their purpose statement.

This one I really enjoyed. Finds empirical data to show that the Democrats f**k themselves over big time by selling out organized labor over and over. Every shitlib who told me that working class people in the rust belt and midwest are irrelevant and the Democrats can win without a strong economic message that stands up for the working class can eat a sack of baby dicks and cry about it.

bunch of whiners
