    Democrats won the house because moderate Democrats won primaries and then turned red districts blue. AOCs victory had nothing to do with it. She just replaced blue with blue. If Pelosi cant rein in her juniors like AOC and the party keeps sliding left it puts those new seats in danger. That is why 27 Democrats voted with Republicans last week. Self survival.

    CC in the pose of the purveyor of conventional wisdom, wishcasting the DSA genie back into the bottle. AOC has turned him into a defender of Nancy Pelosi, no mean feat for a male chauvinist pig like CC.

    Why the hate, winehole? I'm simply pointing out AOC is damaging your party and Pelosi knows it.

    No hate, you like to bash women, is all.

    I happen to think you're wrong about which direction the Dems need to go. Had DJT come out with big social spending and public works a la Huey Long, the Dems would be obsolete already.

    So do you hate white men because you bash trump?
    Disagree with her does not make you love to bash woman


    I think there a woman president in 16-48 years.
    Someone asked a question to a post. I thought it was spot on. She asked, if masks work, why weren't they handed out in prisons instead of letting the prisoners go free (many of whom committed more crimes)?

    There is your testable hypothesis. Substantially less than that, your "correlation" theory of how we are counting predicted it.

    It is just that simple.

    sure, but Repugs dupe their ignorant base with stupid cheap shots at the opposition

    Self delusion.

    One of my oldest friends is very involved in the Texas legislature. As a very dyed in the wool Dem, and likely better connected than you, he echoes these concerns. In fact he forwarded me the politico piece.

    Old-line establishment Dems are responsible for doing nothing about the oligarchy dragging the Repugs into the bags they are now, nothing about the extreme inequality created by the oligarchy's Repugs for 40 years.

    The Clintons are as horribly neo-liberal as any Repug. And Reagan-Thatcher neoliberalism has deeply ed over 100Ms.

    Trash's Exec "Bannon's deconstruction of the administrative state" will casue 100Ks of diseased and dead Americans.

    The Dem establishment offers NOTHING but the same old fecklessness in the face of the long-time, on-going onslaught of the oligarchy on America.

    See Pelosi's interview with Rolling Stone to see how badly the Dem establishment continues to over USA.

    Whoever can get the half of the country that doesn't typically vote to vote will win.

    If that doesn't happen it's probably four more years of Trump, but I was wrong about 2016: maybe hatred of Trump will be enough to get Dems over the finish line, but I tend to doubt it.
