Our Revolution's Performance Art Political Theater

[MineralMan]

Cynthia Nixon. Chelsea Manning. A number of other weak erstwhile candidates put up to primary Democratic incumbents. It's not a matter of actually planning to win. It's pure performance art.

It's entertaining, I suppose, to a small, select audience, but most folks are choosing some other entertainment.

If you wonder about this, please see my signature line. Thanks.

1. You are much too kind to those people.

2. Oh, not really. In private, I'm snickering behind my hand over here.

I'm really a big fan of the Theater of the Absurd. I consider the entire Our Revolution thing as an elaborate prank being played on us.

3. Angelica Earl in Missouri.

One of her supporters sent out a crazy email yesterday telling everyone in the Democratic party to Fuck off.

4. Well, that's bound to help, eh?

I'm not a big Claire McKaskill fan, but she'll be the Democrat on the ballot in November, without any question. It's Missouri.

The risk is in alienating enough Democrats that the Republican wins. How does that help?

6. And THAT is the point of their existance. 3rd party Stein, Nader, &..etc

We've seen those faces before..
Same mocking look, same smirk, same lies & anti-democracy message.
Money & Media..disrupt & divide keeps the RW alive.
Koch$$ buys the holler!


Thanks for your post.

9. She's angry that I won't book her at a club meeting

Because of it. The supporter who sent the email is an independent candidate for US House, has a Confederate flag on his profile and called himself a "proud, White Southern Nationalist."

If you can't denounce him you don't deserve positive attention (and donations) through club invites.

10. That is a destructive sort of campaign that will only help Republicans.

That's what is so disturbing about all of this.

5. The whole purpose of the organization today....

Is to maintain and grow email lists and connections for someone’s upcoming presidential run.

7. The Party of Koch.

Money & Media

8. True. They don't care how they get those lists. Buy, lie, steal, con..

Koch $$$ are buying themselves a new Bircher Revolution.

11. Our Revolution is not trying to help the Democratic Party

It does appear that some of these nominees are not serious
