You’re like the only person talking any sense anywhere. Thanks. It’s helping me stay sane. 👊

It is killing me. It is rare that you get such a clear cut vision morally and politically of which side of a line to stand on and the democrats standing in the middle are so obviously cowards and fools. It is so dispiriting.

Klein, Yglesias and the rest of the Dem Pundit Class, pondering which group to throw under the bus, next...

Dem leaders seem to have never met a blue collar person.
They hobnob with (other)rich dems, instead of meeting people for pickleball, potlucks or local (amateur/school) sports.
They could go to local grocers with a handful of coupons (or food stamps!) and see what they could afford.

They're doing it because it feels subversive to be a complete asshole and they think they have some hidden knowledge.My grandmother is 91 sharp lady who looks 70 teaches college students bridge drives all over town. She eats oatmeal and peanut butter every morning plus pasteurized milk

In complete fairness, one of the guys they cited is a drug dealer and a KU College Republican, so I'm not sure he's really the median voter who can be won over.

Anyone that tells themselves that republicans are right about immigration and trans athletes are seriously fucked in the head.

They say the left hates NASCAR but fail to mention, Oh, I don't know, baseball or football (things most people like). Punching down isn't "manly." You don't have to be a bigot to be cool. Why is this so hard to communicate?
