    This is probably the best example of the shallow nature of Liberal thought

    She’s black and lesbian so she hits the diversity quota

    Nevermind that she’s just another corporate ghoul

      Obviously, you can’t be corrupt if you check the boxes, because everyone knows that corruption is an archtypical Trump-looking guy not an archtypical Stacey Abrams-looking girl.

      Even then… how can you strictly be mad at Gruesome Newsom for making this decision. You know Karen Bass isn’t going to make any attempt at a primary. You know if she did, the party would strip her of all her positions and denude her of funding, that the Silicon Valley democrats would turn on her in a heartbeat, and that there’s a real chance a Republican insurgent would win a split ballot with some minority coalition as a disciplining exercise.

      Corporate Ghouls are the only folks that need apply, because the good(ish) Dems don’t actually have a solid base of support. If a Sanders style liberal could win California, you would think they’d at least make a run. But the only folks that take the plunge are quixotic losers or narcissist freaks.

        maybe-later-kiddo: “We have to give the republicans everything they want or else it will alienate the working class, and then they’ll just take everything they want AND call us SJWs!”

        Like a left-wing version of a pick-me.

      They are liberal. Liberals are right-wing.

      You think liberals are left wing because one of your liberal parties is holding marginalized people hostage in a 2-party state.

      No, both parties in the US are liberal. They’re both neoliberal specifically, by definition.

      little bit further to the right, really - they’re center-right until they’re inconvenienced, at which point they start moving rightward

      Reminding yourself daily of a thing that is demonstrably false seems bad. The amount of negative descriptors that can be applied to doing that is a bottomless void without end.

    I keep in touch with some young dems because I know I could just call them any day and they’d be down to drink themselves into oblivion because of some stupid shit the party did.

    It’s kinda dried up since the Trump years but I already know one friend is gonna be going to the bar tonight because of this.
