Huffpo, too. Got tired of their click-bait-y headlines and general horseshit: “You Won’t BELIEVE What Sarah Palin Said About Obama!” (I still wonder about the effectiveness of click-bait headlines, because my response was always, “Sarah Palin said something outrageous again. Big fuckin deal,” and “Just put it in the headline, asshole.” I never clicked on the damn things.)
TPM has so far been consistent.
However, mental-masturbatory horseshit from John Ludis yesterday made me cringe. My first thought upon reading it was, “Awwww, maaaaannnnn. TPM finally toppled into the toilet boil.”
I have been watching various reporters in various sections of New York interviewing all different folks and who they are voting for and why. They interviewed two men in their late 60s early 70s who attended Woodstock and from the conversation, they sound as if they still hold the values they had in those days, albeit much wiser now. One man said he really likes Bernie and everything he says is great but the reality is that he has not one chance to get anything he says accomplished and that the millennials like to believe the fantasy and then when they find out all the promises were empty, they will just lose interest and not vote again until the next presidential election. He said they did the same thing with Obama.
In a real democracy a revolution doesn’t have to be deadly but yes, it would be big, ugly and messy. What is wrong with big, ugly and messy? Afraid Debby Wasserrman Schultz’s friends in the payday loan industry would get their hair mussed along with DWS?
The revolution might take 20 years but our kids will thank us. You doing anything better with your life?
Cowardly Democrats like John Bel Edwards in LA who just overturned Jindal’s anit-LGBTQ bigotry in a state where Bernie couldn’t be elected dog catcher?
Sure, you and Bernie just keep standing on your pure white mountain of progressiveness and keep looking down and judging those of us getting dirty in the trenches and actually getting shit done in the real world.
Ron please. The economy tanked two months before Obama won the nomination in November. Many of the promises he made were impossible to achieve after that happened and please don’t tell me he had a packed congress and senate because he didn’t. He met with stiff resistance from many conservadems too.
TBecause big ugly and messy, usually turns out bad for the people the “revolution” said it was for. In the end the only thing that changes is which old rich guys have the lions share.
Long story short, to paraphrase the old adage… It’ll be an affluent white melennials revolution, and a poor minorities fight.
Great, California and New York are solidly blue, but what is going on in Missouri or Wisconsin? Lots of places that could be blue have been abandoned by the Democrats.
That’s right chammy, keep your head down. Don’t make waves. Do little things. Ignore the poverty growing around you. Aren’t those billionaires having a great life. Oh, you can’t retire because you can’t afford to retire? Too bad. You will die just as soon as the healthcare industry has bled your bank account.
You’re off the wall bud. I don’t have any response for the chip on your shoulder except good luck.
Everyone doesn’t agree, that is life, finding common ground is how it works, demanding your own way is how it doesn’t work.
I’ve had cancer twice in the Obama years, waiting twenty years for your precious revolution would’ve been a death sentence for me.
You aren’t seeing past your own nose.
I might be off the wall, but somebody has to wake you up to what is possible. You need to open your eyes and see what the Bernie supporters are seeing. They are seeing a future you no longer can imagine.
