(15,295 posts)I remember 2010. Speaking of proving points. I remember an instant and relentless attack on Obama the second he stepped his pinky toe into office. The explanation was this was necessary pressure to move him to the left. And look where it got us. This idea that constantly painting Dems as weak is the way to move Dems to the left and turn out voters mystifies me. But yeah. Let's repeat that mistake.
You know what? I can't fucking stand Rham Emanuel. I just don't agree with the style of politics that actually help keep assholes like him in power. Do you know why we can't have nice things? In large part because of a segment of the left that thinks the only way to get anywhere is to do anything but actually attack the enemy. Biden was not my choice. Not even close. But I predicted way back in the beginning that if a certain candidate ran again, that's exactly who we'd get. And look where we are. And when he takes office it will be the 2008/10 cycle all over again. Because no one learns a fucking thing.
A whole thread about how weak Dems are for not being tough enough on Republicans. With not one bad word about Republicans in it. Classic.
