      You think he’s going to sacrifice his career for that? Any meaningful vote he would take is a minimum at three years away. I’m not super concerned.

        As we noted here before, this tumor cannot be killed; but it doesn't have to be. It can be shrunk and isolated so that we can live long productive lives. A home run is not going to win this thing. A lot of base hits might.

        One step at a time.

          You've never understood my posts. You always substitute a strawman burnout idealist because he's easier for you to then launch your circa 1970 put downs against.

          I want a party that compromises around the edges while moving relentlessly forward on its core principles.

          The Democratic party compromises its core principles while moving relentlessly forward around the edges. That's because both those things are lazy and easy. They wuss out on the central premise of equality to curry favor with the 1% donor class. They insist on strident language around the edges because that's what the conveyor belt of academically trained activists demands in their shortsighted, juvenile posturing. And so when we win we stand for nothing, while we lose winnable elections because of optics and turn the blow torch of government over to the sociopaths on the right.

                      Only because it is possible. PETA protects animals, while NRA protects profits.

                          I know you jest, but there is considerable literature on the subject.

                          Check out the footnotes at the end of the article.

                            I expected more partying on here over the recent election recount results. Never mind that the candidate who won had to campaign on supporting Trump's policies.

                                He provides a service. He's the closest thing we have to a genuine Trump lab specimen. A subject isn't without value if you can't ask it questions. You can learn a lot just by watching its behavior.

                                Watch how the narratives change. Watch which excuses are used and which lies are repeated. It's a real privilege to have this kind of empirical data offered freely. I for one appreciate it.

                                Flag, Fish, Drew and joe are a good representative sample of the right. Flag is the InfoWars dupe looking under every bed for a monster. Fish is the RedState dittohead mindlessly repeating what his programmers have told him. Drew is the Ted Cruz teenage intellectual regurgitating transparent PJ Media ironies and thinking he's laying sophisticated traps. joe is the polite, educated First Things sage vamping Chestertonian dignity while reaching for the next Churchill bon mot. We've got em all, here, and it's fun to watch how they play their respective hands.
