This might be the worst article I've ever read
I happened across this absolutely horrible Buzzfeed article about Markos' new polling project.
It's a bootlicking, brownnosing, sycophantic article that you shouldn't read on a full stomach.
That being said, way down deep in the article I found this gem.
Moulitsas has always been more interested in polling, tactics, and, broadly, politics than many of his peers on the American left. Where others debated, for instance, the merits of centrist Hillary Clinton and progressive Bernie Sanders, Daily Kos stayed neutral — and its Daily Kos Elections drew bipartisan respect as a supremely nerdy source of election analysis.
What!?! What!! What?!?
Are you f*ckin kidding me?!
Did the writer of this article not do any research at all?
Ides of F*ckin March you dummass.
And then it gets worse.
The new data, Moulitsas said, should show Democrats how to win.“We’re the reality-based community and we’ve always prided ourselves on our allegiance to data,” he said. “We don’t talk about what the American people think — we look at the data. A lot of that is practical. We want a more progressive America, and to get there we need to know how to win.”
Excuse me?!?
After I repeatedly pointed out that Hillary wasn't winning over independents, while Bernie was, and all the Markos bootlickers assured us that they didn't need independents.
After the Markos bootlickers spent the entire Obama Administration doing touchdown dances in the end zone, while they were getting their clocks cleaned.
And now they do nothing but yell "Russia!" all day long.
This steaming pile of horsesh*t from buzzfeed has caused me to have a loss for words.
Someone needs to help me out with a better response.

@movie buff @Wink It seems that TOP
It seems that TOP breaks on mostly economic lines. It's pretty much unified on everything else. If you say anything about the tanked economy for the 99er's, you always get the "things are fine, stock markets great, should have passed TPP. NAFTA and China MFN was good, go to school and learn coding" crowd descending on you.That and Middle America sucks racist hill billie rants. They have a lot in common with their well off conservative brethren when it comes to decimating the poor and the middle class.
"Should have passed TPP"
I just about fell off my chair when I read this for the first time. "Whaaa! Trump has pulled out of the TPP!"
Good grief, they know how bad this would be for this country because of the ISDS which meant losing our sovereignty to corporations. This is what happens when people get invested in who they think the person is without looking at their actions.

This is exactly

Sadly though I know a lot of people who are Democrat's and are singing Russia did it, and people who refuse to vote for the neoliberal,neocon, puppet pols are why we have Trump. In my lily white, gentrified, 85% Democratic street (some Indies and Green holdouts left) these people don their pussy pink hats, put out Black Lives Matter signs and preach the gospel of progress and social liberalism. Empower those corporate glass ceiling breaking women! Right Now! The homeless and poor? Get them off the street. Their dirty and tweakers. Growth is good. Ignorance is Strength. War is Peace. They are the gatekeepers.
None of them are dkos members but they reflect the current state of by-partisan political delusion. Who knows maybe it's more comfortable to them to think they are not part of the problem. Reality based my ass. The Russia did it bs. that they all parrot alone is enough to show you how deep their heads are implanted in the sand. They truly believe in the reality they have chosen because it validates the reality they have been fed and believed for decades. There is no way the Democratic party will survive as it is becoming more and more apparent to people who are not invested, literally, in believing this sad, insane non reality they believe in. There is more to reality/life then cooked up data and while numbers don't lie the tea readers who use them are lying propagandist's. Facts my ass. It's all fear driven and FDR had a good point about fear.
@shaharazade That's it. These are
That's it. These are the well enough off. Whatever happens they'll do ok, under r's or d's. They have their causes, but economic justice isn't one of them, and they have the same contempt that all well enough off Americans have for the "less advantaged". Because they're smart and got to where they are all by themselves.
Also, mentioning FDR will get the response that he was just an old, white, racist progressive. So I guess The New Deal was the same.
Maybe they're all right
And we are all wrong?

@dervish
Maybe, as a propaganda outlet, they decided that they needed to try to somehow verify that expectation of Hillary winning in order to more plausibly plant the 'She would have won if Russia hadn't cheated her of the election, so we have to bomb them/do that regime change thing' story? Along with perhaps killing more widely public faith in the concept of democratic government, as in enacting and protecting the public good, for more blatant and direct corporate/military rule?
How more expediently to do that to have a last-minute switch to a scapegoat interim President to start doing the more obvious dirty and be brought under TPTB's control to still do what they want done - and claim that it was the Ebil Russians further exposed Hillary's and the DNC's corruption, which means war, if only as an excuse for hoovering up any wealth and power remaining to the American people and country?
After the election, there were emails aimed at having Clinton coronated anyway as The Rightful Heir. She never stopped campaigning (or what she'd term that, anyway), either, did she? She's still got her security clearance and access to restricted information after how many years of not being in any public office? and her nose in the public business; her opinions on public affairs are still being quoted in the MSN and her State Department people were still there until Trump removed them. Same with Bush and Obama Admin people, all still working within the government to help The Plan along.
And I suspect that the propaganda will again present Hillary as being far more popular and publicly found less reprehensible if she is, indeed, going after Her Turn again, this time with the aid of Homeland Security's electoral control. Dear gawd, I'm depressing myself, but I do think that this ought to be considered. There are no depths too low for The Psychopaths That Be, as we've seen.

Physician, Heal Thyself
So says the loser. To Kos and his peers in Neverland, Failure is an option.
Gatekeeping is a hard business, apparently...not. Markos is certainly not alone in pretending that he hasn't, in fact, lost his keys. They were galactically wrong yet can't afford to step down from their perch, all of them. So they keep on (gate)keeping on.
At some point we will have to invent a Kos unit, a la Freidman, you know, 'we need to know how to win so that we can win in order that maybe someday we can win'...six degrees of winning or something like that.
Brave Horatius, he is not.
I got your data right here Markos, including comments
I guess he "forgot" doing his own polling during the primaries so here is another reminder "HER numbers never go up" no matter what Markos (ex-CIA, now current Bay Area millionaire) did:

TomP was here for awhile, got offended, and left. The abuse he tolerated was beyond understanding. Sabir only came by here to hassle everyone here for not supporting her highness. Once the election was over, we never saw him again. I am surprised at how little I even think about dkos. I never go there, not even to look. I really don't give a damn what they think or have to say. I don't miss it's gangs or childish moderation. Finding uncensored sites is harder and harder.

I'm still on time out until October.
I haven't signed that little message box yet so it is a reminder of the lying slanderous things they said about me to make an excuse for shutting down non-PC opinion.
The message from administration was "Despite being given a three-month time out back in May for "your trolling, divisiveness, personal insults and accumulated violations of DBAD," you continue to make trollish, combative comments like this: https://www.dailykos.com/comments/1703580/67943406#comment_67943406. We think you need to take some time away from the site and decide whether Daily Kos is really a good fit for you. Since three months away seems to have had no effect, this time you're getting a one-year time out."
Here is the exchange that took me out...

I refuse it because no one has proven it without a doubt, and many of the claims so far have fallen by the wayside. Did you ever read the letter that the Intel Vets wrote to the government about this? Did you see the states that cried foul at that report that 21 states were hacked by the Russians? Did you see the nonsense reporting about the Russians being involved in the NFL protest issues?
Do you not have any sense of skepticism?
How does Russia spending (allegedly) $150,000 on Facebook ads compare with the Clinton campaign spending $1 million in terms of influence on the election?
Does it not give you pause when you find that our country has interfered in the most elections in this world of any country?

Honduras...www.theguardian.com/… www.counterpunch.org/…

So, faced with all this clear evidence that our country has and continues to interfere with the elections and internal political issues of many other countries, often causing many deaths, do you think it’s OK when we do it, but not when the Russians do it?

Well, according to Her Heinousness, white males

I would have to agree with her. Bubba and his bimbo wife along with DKos in the cheering section were a surefire route to defeat.
Well here is the "money-shot" from the article.
This last year there were a number of revelations on how there exists an consultant class in and around the DNC that is raking in tens if not hundreds of million dollars. And controlling the party for the most part.
A funny part is the mass behavior on TOP compared to opposite to what Kos is saying in the article. Don't talk about impeachment? TOP is utterly possessed with impeachment (due to Russians).
Oh, hey, white gop women are open to gun control. TOP constantly attacks and demeans white gop female voters as racist and sexist. Good luck with that mwssaging.
And then there is the money/donation election part of TOP. I don't follow them but didn't they refuse to back progressives early on and supported the corporatist in GA?
I noticed that Kos gave no tidbits on Russia. I think I know why. TOP is clinical psycho over Russia but most people are not.
They are salivating over impeaching Trump
"This is why we need to take back the house next election." I'm guessing that they aren't aware that Pelosi has already passed on impeachment and that many democrats voted no when it came up.
Pelosi " Now is not the time to be thinking of that". For Pelosi, the time never seems to be convenient for her.

Inventing and re-inventing reality
As you noted earlier, they couldn't even deal with Hillary's basic positions and history. Once Hillary won, the site went onto re-invent Hillary as a progressive. And then when Kaine was selected as VP, the re-invention machine went into overdrive trying to remake him as a progressive.
I am sure if Pelosi becomes speaker she will not allow impeachment and then the TOP crowd will come up with a plethora of reasons why it was a brilliant move and forget their previous mania for it.
Tim Kaine was the worst possible pick for Her VP
One of thee biggest blue dawg democrat who was anti abortion and too many pro bad legislation told everyone what direction Hillary was going to move after she became president.
Kaine along with Douggie Jones who Alabama blacks helped put in congress are going to sell people out by passing the newest bank deregulation. You just can't make this shit up.
Remember how mad people were when Pelosi became speaker and she took impeachment off the table? Nope, that wasn't going to happen, nor was she going to roll back the Bush abuses. Keeping the powder dry. I wonder what the powder even looks like today?

he should have been leaning right. I'm not surprised that he said that he stayed neutral during the primary. Daily Kos states that it's a reality based website. Unfortunately it seems to have developed difficulties what reality they are in. When people can say that Hillary wasn't a warmonger, that she would have kept the banks in line and she wouldn't have signed the TPP, that shows that they have a big problem with reality.
BTW, how the Hell does one get a more progressive America when they are backing the centrist candidate and bad mouthing the progressive one?
You are being too hard on DK, gjohnsit. They do not spend all day on Russia Russia Russia.

All we know for sure
...is that the particular poison in question is a British innovation.
Cui bono?
Pence and the Christian dominionist crowd
that has taken over the slots at the top are salivating over how close they are to gaining complete power and control. Shall we continue to believe that the Russians are the only ones with access to nerve agents and poisons, or shall be start looking at how all this pushes us more towards war with the pure evil in Russia? It'a all interconnected and we are not even close to discussing it. Look also to all the Dem candidates running in 2018 who are former CIA etc. And at least one has openly discussed coming to Jesus in Iraq.
Pompeo is a full blown religious lunatic, so that cements the connection even further. Yet, we can not ask him or Pence a thing about their religious beliefs because we're supposed to respect them???
