Nope. I ignored a lot of arguments from hard-core leftists saying they were not going to give their votes to Democrats because they were being ignored.

I have always been fairly pragmatic, and thought myself strategic. I was wrong.

115 Far right inspired terror incidents. 35% of these were foiled (meaning no attack happened) and 29% resulted in fatalities. These terror incidents caused 79 deaths.
63 Islamist inspired terror incidents. 76% of these were foiled (meaning no attack happened) and 13% resulted in fatalities. These terror incidents caused 90 deaths.
19 incidents inspired by left-wing ideologies (and eco-terrorism). 20% of these were foiled (meaning no attack happened) and 10% resulted in fatalities. These terror incidents caused 7 deaths.

The attack took place on the last day of the Jewish Passover holiday, which fell on a Shabbat.[4] One woman was killed and three other people were injured, including the synagogue's rabbi.[5][6] After fleeing the scene, the alleged gunman phoned 9-1-1 and reported the shooting. He was apprehended in his car approximately two miles (3.2 km) from the synagogue by a San Diego police officer.

After arraignment in late 2019, Earnest was scheduled to be tried on multiple state charges in June 2020; the state announced it would seek the death penalty. The federal government had also filed hate crime charges. The trial was originally intended to start in June 2020, but it was delayed until at least March 15, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The core of modern conservatism is dishonesty. and violence.

You are attempting to be dishonest, and claiming that anti-semetic attacks are not political, when they are almost always explicity political, with the policy goal of an ethnically pure theocratic state.


An anti-semitic and racist open letter was posted on 8chan shortly before the shooting and signed with Earnest's name.[24] It said that Jews were preparing a "meticulously planned genocide of the European race", a white genocide conspiracy theory. In the alleged shooter's manifesto, he denied that he had learned anti-semitic beliefs from his family.[25]

Earnest is believed to have written the letter, in which he cited shooters Brenton Tarrant and Robert Bowers for their involvement in the Christchurch mosque shootings and the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, respectively. He said that Jesus, Paul the Apostle, Martin Luther, Adolf Hitler, Ludwig van Beethoven, "Moon Man" and Pink Guy were figures who inspired him to commit the shooting. Earnest made a joking mention of PewDiePie and referenced "The Day of the Rope", an event from William Luther Pierce's neo-Nazi novel The Turner Diaries (1978), in which African Americans and Hispanics are executed and urged more violent attacks.[24] He condemned President Donald Trump as a pro-Zionist traitor

Would you like to read his published manifesto, in which he outlined his political goals?

I should be clear:

Not all conservatives are violent. Most aren't. The vast majority aren't.

Not all conservatives are liars. Most are fairly honest.

I am saying that the core ideology seems to encourage dishonesty. and violence.

The fact that I can't have a single honest conversation with any self-identifying conservative convinces me of that.

I should be clear:

Not all conservatives are violent. Most aren't. The vast majority aren't.

Not all conservatives are liars. Most are fairly honest.

I am saying that the core ideology seems to encourage dishonesty. and violence.

The fact that I can't have a single honest conversation with any self-identifying conservative convinces me of that.

It doesn’t help when Pelosi and Schumer intentionally put bad labels on progressive ideas because they want to see them fail.

There were a lot of Florida Democrats who ran away from the state’s $15.00 minimum wage initiative because they thought it was too radical, only for Florida to vote overwhelmingly Republican while simultaneously voting for that initiative with 60% approval. If the Democrats in Florida ran as the candidates who were behind that initiative and supportive of it methinks they would have done a lot better.

The retarded Defund the Police protests were, which is largely due to horrible Dem messaging. They Dems went with the Kellyanne defense of “Well they don’t literally mean defund the police” when they should have come out with a unified message of “we want police reform but defund the police is stupid and we don’t support defunding or abolishing police at all.” The Squad didn’t help in that respect but Pelosi and party leadership were just as bad at the messaging part.

Im also not convinced Democrats basically conceding Trump was the candidate who was better for the economy didn’t have a bigger impact than defund the police. It’s tough to win when the other side is delivering a better message on the issue that 40% of the country views as the most important issue.

Agreed. I look at my own state NC and we lost all the red counties by big margins with Biden despite Biden being republican lite. Biden over performed in the blue counties down here but under performed in the red counties. Also our centrist dem candidates got their ass whooped in red districts for congress down here. Cunningham a centrist could not defeat the incumbent Tillis for the senate seat. I know some will say the adultery scandal cost him but I believe he probably would have still lost anyways.

her interview from NYT:


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Biden’s Win, House Losses, and What’s Next for the LeftThe congresswoman said Joe Biden’s relationship with progressives would hinge on his actions. And she dismissed criticism from House moderates, calling some candidates who lost their races “sitting ducks.”




For months, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been a good soldier for the Democratic Party and Joseph R. Biden Jr. as he sought to defeat President Trump.


But on Saturday, in a nearly hourlong interview shortly after President-elect Biden was declared the winner, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez made clear the divisions within the party that animated the primary still exist. And she dismissed recent criticisms from some Democratic House members who have blamed the party’s left for costing them important seats. Some of the members who lost, she said, had made themselves “sitting ducks.”


These are edited excerpts from the conversation.


We finally have a fuller understanding of the results. What’s your macro takeaway?


Well, I think the central one is that we aren’t in a free fall to hell anymore. But whether we’re going to pick ourselves up or not is the lingering question. We paused this precipitous descent. And the question is if and how we will build ourselves back up.


We know that race is a problem, and avoiding it is not going to solve any electoral issues. We have to actively disarm the potent influence of racism at the polls.


But we also learned that progressive policies do not hurt candidates. Every single candidate that co-sponsored Medicare for All in a swing district kept their seat. We also know that co-sponsoring the Green New Deal was not a sinker. Mike Levin was an original co-sponsor of the legislation, and he kept his seat.


To your first point, Democrats lost seats in an election where they were expected to gain them. Is that what you are ascribing to racism and white supremacy at the polls?


I think it’s going to be really important how the party deals with this internally, and whether the party is going to be honest about doing a real post-mortem and actually digging into why they lost. Because before we even had any data yet in a lot of these races, there was already finger-pointing that this was progressives’ fault and that this was the fault of the Movement for Black Lives.


I’ve already started looking into the actual functioning of these campaigns. And the thing is, I’ve been unseating Democrats for two years. I have been defeating D.C.C.C.-run campaigns for two years. That’s how I got to Congress. That’s how we elected Ayanna Pressley. That’s how Jamaal Bowman won. That’s how Cori Bush won. And so we know about extreme vulnerabilities in how Democrats run campaigns.


Some of this is criminal. It’s malpractice. Conor Lamb spent $2,000 on Facebook the week before the election. I don’t think anybody who is not on the internet in a real way in the Year of our Lord 2020 and loses an election can blame anyone else when you’re not even really on the internet.


And I’ve looked through a lot of these campaigns that lost, and the fact of the matter is if you’re not spending $200,000 on Facebook with fund-raising, persuasion, volunteer recruitment, get-out-the-vote the week before the election, you are not firing on all cylinders. And not a single one of these campaigns were firing on all cylinders.


Well, Conor Lamb did win. So what are you saying: Investment in digital advertising and canvassing are a greater reason moderate Democrats lost than any progressive policy?


These folks are pointing toward Republican messaging that they feel killed them, right? But why were you so vulnerable to that attack?


If you’re not door-knocking, if you’re not on the internet, if your main points of reliance are TV and mail, then you’re not running a campaign on all cylinders. I just don’t see how anyone could be making ideological claims when they didn’t run a full-fledged campaign.


Our party isn’t even online, not in a real way that exhibits competence. And so, yeah, they were vulnerable to these messages, because they weren’t even on the mediums where these messages were most potent. Sure, you can point to the message, but they were also sitting ducks. They were sitting ducks.


There’s a reason Barack Obama built an entire national campaign apparatus outside of the Democratic National Committee. And there’s a reason that when he didn’t activate or continue that, we lost House majorities. Because the party — in and of itself — does not have the core competencies, and no amount of money is going to fix that.


If I lost my election, and I went out and I said: “This is moderates’ fault. This is because you didn’t let us have a floor vote on Medicare for all.” And they opened the hood on my campaign, and they found that I only spent $5,000 on TV ads the week before the election? They would laugh. And that’s what they look like right now trying to blame the Movement for Black Lives for their loss.


Is there anything from Tuesday that surprised you? Or made you rethink your previously held views?


The share of white support for Trump. I thought the polling was off, but just seeing it, there was that feeling of realizing what work we have to do.


We need to do a lot of anti-racist, deep canvassing in this country. Because if we keep losing white shares and just allowing Facebook to radicalize more and more elements of white voters and the white electorate, there’s no amount of people of color and young people that you can turn out to offset that.


But the problem is that right now, I think a lot of Dem strategy is to avoid actually working through this. Just trying to avoid poking the bear. That’s their argument with defunding police, right? To not agitate racial resentment. I don’t think that is sustainable.


There’s a lot of magical thinking in Washington, that this is just about special people that kind of come down from on high. Year after year, we decline the idea that they did work and ran sophisticated operations in favor of the idea that they are magical, special people. I need people to take these goggles off and realize how we can do things better.


If you are the D.C.C.C., and you’re hemorrhaging incumbent candidates to progressive insurgents, you would think that you may want to use some of those firms. But instead, we banned them. So the D.C.C.C. banned every single firm that is the best in the country at digital organizing.


The leadership and elements of the party — frankly, people in some of the most important decision-making positions in the party — are becoming so blinded to this anti-activist sentiment that they are blinding themselves to the very assets that they offer.


I’ve been begging the party to let me help them for two years. That’s also the damn thing of it. I’ve been trying to help. Before the election, I offered to help every single swing district Democrat with their operation. And every single one of them, but five, refused my help. And all five of the vulnerable or swing district people that I helped secured victory or are on a path to secure victory. And every single one that rejected my help is losing. And now they’re blaming us for their loss.


So I need my colleagues to understand that we are not the enemy. And that their base is not the enemy. That the Movement for Black Lives is not the enemy, that Medicare for all is not the enemy. This isn’t even just about winning an argument. It’s that if they keep going after the wrong thing, I mean, they’re just setting up their own obsolescence.


What is your expectation as to how open the Biden administration will be to the left? And what is the strategy in terms of moving it?


I don’t know how open they’ll be. And it’s not a personal thing. It’s just, the history of the party tends to be that we get really excited about the grass roots to get elected. And then those communities are promptly abandoned right after an election.


I think the transition period is going to indicate whether the administration is taking a more open and collaborative approach, or whether they’re taking a kind of icing-out approach. Because Obama’s transition set a trajectory for 2010 and some of our House losses. It was a lot of those transition decisions — and who was put in positions of leadership — that really informed, unsurprisingly, the strategy of governance.


What if the administration is hostile? If they take the John Kasich view of who Joe Biden should be? What do you do?


Well, I’d be bummed, because we’re going to lose. And that’s just what it is. These transition appointments, they send a signal. They tell a story of who the administration credits with this victory. And so it’s going be really hard after immigrant youth activists helped potentially deliver Arizona and Nevada. It’s going to be really hard after Detroit and Rashida Tlaib ran up the numbers in her district.


It’s really hard for us to turn out nonvoters when they feel like nothing changes for them. When they feel like people don’t see them, or even acknowledge their turnout.


If the party believes after 94 percent of Detroit went to Biden, after Black organizers just doubled and tripled turnout down in Georgia, after so many people organized Philadelphia, the signal from the Democratic Party is the John Kasichs won us this election? I mean, I can’t even describe how dangerous that is.


You are diagnosing national trends. You’re maybe the most famous voice on the left currently. What can we expect from you in the next four years?


I don’t know. I think I’ll have probably more answers as we get through transition, and to the next term. How the party responds will very much inform my approach and what I think is going to be necessary.


The last two years have been pretty hostile. Externally, we’ve been winning. Externally, there’s been a ton of support, but internally, it’s been extremely hostile to anything that even smells progressive.


Is the party ready to, like, sit down and work together and figure out how we’re going to use the assets from everyone at the party? Or are they going to just kind of double down on this smothering approach? And that’s going to inform what I do.


Is there a universe in which they’re hostile enough that we’re talking about a Senate run in a couple years?


I genuinely don’t know. I don’t even know if I want to be in politics. You know, for real, in the first six months of my term, I didn’t even know if I was going to run for re-election this year.


Really? Why?


It’s the incoming. It’s the stress. It’s the violence. It’s the lack of support from your own party. It’s your own party thinking you’re the enemy. When your own colleagues talk anonymously in the press and then turn around and say you’re bad because you actually append your name to your opinion.


I chose to run for re-election because I felt like I had to prove that this is real. That this movement was real. That I wasn’t a fluke. That people really want guaranteed health care and that people really want the Democratic Party to fight for them.


But I’m serious when I tell people the odds of me running for higher office and the odds of me just going off trying to start a homestead somewhere — they’re probably the same.

I'd say she's butthurt that liberal shit cost the Dems the house, but in her defense most of those seats were lost because it was Trump on the ballot. I can't imagine there would have been that many split ticket voters after impeachment. However i believe they do need to get rid of "defund the police" not the argument but call it something else before 2022

Not really. A lot more people know who AOC is than Louie Gohmert. The only people who pay any attention to Louie Gohmert outside of his congressional district are liberals who are looking for ammunition to call conservatives stupid (which Gohmert regularly provides).

1% chance anyone at the level, or left of her win the primary in 2024

I doubt the Republican party will find someone as genuinely lazy, incompetent and corrupt as Trump. I mean as far as corruption goes they have a pretty deep bench. Not as deep when it comes to incompetant, but you never know, with them picking Qanon morons for congress they may get another trifecta.

Their electorate certainly seems to have a bottomless appetite for all three. Who knows what gets past the primaries.

I understand the feuds with moderates like Feinstein, Manchin not so much. The mere fact Manchin is a vote for Schumer over McConnell as majority leader makes him infinitely better than any other senator we’d get from West Virginia.

Will Hunting
11-12-2020, 04:58 PM
This feud is also stupid since Manchin was trying to HELP Ossoff and Warnock by saying even if they win there won’t be enough votes for any court packing. He made it so they could campaign on limiting McConnell’s power without facing as much backlash. The time for this feud is after the Democrats have 49 votes in favor of nuking the filibuster and need a 50th. Right now they don’t have votes 48 or 49 yet.

Exactly. He's realiable when you need him to be. He can be republican lite all he wants but for the most part, he's voted along with democrats on some major stuff like not voting for handmaid's tale judge, Trump's impeachment on both counts, voting against most of Trump's shill appointments like Ratcliffe etc.

I actually liked what he said about not being for defunding the police. How and why that triggered AOC is puzzling.

I also think he’s not as firmly against the filibuster as he leads on. All signs point to him not running again in 2024, and I think if McConnell is being totally obstructionist Manchin would come around to actually doing something with his last 4 years in the senate. In the meantime it’s politically smart for him to say he’s against it when they’re trying to pick up two senate seats in Georgia.
