DNC Restructuring

Dem house also voted unanimously to give Puerto Rico a $5 bn loan when there were enough R nos to kill the bill.

Yes, I definitely meant all women and not those organizing the event.

Democratic party drama puts deputy chair Keith Ellison in a tough spot

Yet the three Ellison backers removed from the key committees are themselves a diverse bunch. Ellison, of course, is African-American, Muslim, and represents a working-class district, while Barbra Casbar Siperstein is transgender, Zogby is Lebanese-American (and Catholic), and Buckley is gay.

The props have served their purpose, and now they are no longer useful. Peak DNC.

The at-large members chosen by Perez include Harold Ickes, a lobbyist for a nuclear energy company

Finally taking climate change seriously, good work Perez

I admit, that is a very Democratic takeaway. Ignore the people, focus on the lobbyists.

Its almost as if they forgot they need votes to win.

given recent history, i'm starting to come around to the notion that they legitimately aren't concerned with getting votes or winning power at all. the party's permanently etched into the legal infrastructure of the electoral system, and with private spending on elections completely unfettered, you just need to situate yourself in the nerve center of one party or another to get yourself set up for a nice retirement or private sector transition. the donor class is probably fine with it as a(n extremely cheap) cost of doing business, just to ensure they don't have to contend with any serious challenges to their governance or regulatory powers.

This piece about the Third Way is a fucking riot.

The other groups of anthropologists roaming Middle America face the same quandary. Having gotten the country drastically wrong, they have set out on well-meaning missions to bring the country together by increasing mutual understanding. They share Third Way’s basic assumption that mutual understanding is something Americans can agree to find desirable. But as hard as they try to open their minds to new perspectives, are they ready to have that basic assumption challenged?

The researchers I rode with had dived into the heart of America with the best of intentions and the openest of minds. They believed that their only goal was to emerge with a better understanding of their country. And yet the conclusions they drew from what they heard corresponded only roughly to what I heard. Instead, they seemed to revert to their preconceptions, squeezing their findings into the same old mold. It seems possible, if not likely, that all the other delegations of earnest listeners are returning with similarly comforting, selective lessons. If the aim of such tours is to find new ways to bring the country together, or new political messages for a changed electorate, the chances of success seem remote as long as even the sharpest researchers are only capable of seeing what they want to see.

Centrism is a fucking disease.

Democrats’ early money haul stuns GOP

Animated by opposition to President Donald Trump and the Republican congressional majorities, at least 162 Democratic candidates in 82 GOP-held districts have raised over $100,000 so far this year, according to a POLITICO analysis of the latest FEC data. That’s about four times as many candidates as House Democrats had at this point before the 2016 or 2014 elections, and it’s more than twice as many as Republicans had running at this point eight years ago, on the eve of capturing the House in the 2010 wave election.

Screenshots for the very appropriate ad for that post.

In a couple decades will Dems be referring to Trump as a model president? That is some wild shit right there.

**Niiro** · 2017-11-01 10:39

Depends if the GOP can find and elect a worse person than Trump.

I have faith.
