(43,979 posts)There's nothing in anything I wrote that suggests I give a flying fuck about anything a asshole Republican says.
I have no clue how you came up with that nonsense but not at all surprised how off base you are.
I'm not angry, just very tired of simplistic smears of Democrats as "establishment". It has degenerated into "Everyone is establishment except me and people I like"
It is knee jerk behavior, it is simplistic binary thinking, it is demonation, and lacks any kind of analysis. It basically has become childish name calling. It does NOTHING to move forward change that progressives care about. At best is about feeling smug and edgy.
That you label Perez a 'centrist' tells me you have no business in passing judgement on politicians.
As Jhan pointed out to you, Perez' record is solidly progressive. I think he's probably correct and you don't know anything about Perez. You just did the knee jerk thing and went straight to name calling.
I'm a left liberal who ideology is influenced by Marx and Gramci's work on hegemony. I don't need a lecture from you on the "party establishment" or how politics work.
I certainly don't care that need you to project your failings on me.
I think we're pretty much done here. I sincerely wish you have a pleasant evening.
