Democrats
Abandon hope, all ye who rely on the Democrats.
Submitted by Hillbilly Dem on Fri, 12/23/2016 - 10:17amLaFeminista's essay about the hopeless Dems made me think of a recent Jimmy Dore clip. It is 8 minutes long and it's dynamite. They have descended into irrelevance.
DAPL and Cowardly DemocRATs
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Tue, 12/13/2016 - 5:01amPoll: who is most cowardly Democrat you know?
Sorry: poll is closed or your registration is invalid or you aren't really a DemocRAT. Anyway, it's my own poll, for all that's worth (polls this year haven't been worth too much as we know). Runner up in this poll is of course Hillary Goddam Clinton who was too cowardly to campaign, too cowardly to lay out a believable domestic agenda, too cowardly to take on the corporations from whose tits she has been sucking for years.
The global collapse of the center-left

French president Francois Hollande will not seek re-election in 2017, mostly due to his historic unpopularity.
His political failure strongly resembles the demise of the Democrats.
Open Thread 12-08-16: Throwback Thursday!
Submitted by shaharazade on Thu, 12/08/2016 - 6:00am(Shahryar here....shaharazade has a little illness, nothing serious, and I'm swamped with work. She's authorized me to repost this open thread she wrote way back when the membership of c99 started booming, way back in March 2016. It's pretty wonky! And still timely, probably always will be.)
The purpose of our government

A whole new level of denial
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 11/21/2016 - 11:34pmRemember when Hillary asked, ‘Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?’
No politician should ever have to ask that.
Since the election defeat the denial has gotten more extreme.
What exactly does the Democratic Party stand for?
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sun, 11/20/2016 - 5:30pmA few days ago Bernie Sanders called out the Democratic Party.
In a bold and stunning move, Senate Dems tap Schumer as their leader.
Submitted by Hillbilly Dem on Wed, 11/16/2016 - 10:53amOK, far from bold. And far, far away from stunning. As is done in a fraternal organization where the leadership moves "up the chairs", Wall Street's darling is now the Minority Leader in the Senate. Once you become 2nd Vice President at the Elks Lodge, you simply wait your turn to be Grand Poobah (kinda like Her Heinous, btw). Like the generals who insist on fighting the last war.
