    I hate all posts that divide us along lines of who likes/dislikes the best senators and congresspeople we have.

    i just don't understand how he got to the point where he could have actually had some kind of impact on shit and didn't seize the fucking opportunity. all he had to do was run third party, and even if he fucking lost we'd still have a viable third party.

      He is an institutionalist. Caucusing with Senate Dems gave him power, he can't then go about dismantling the very institution that got him to that point. He wanted to destroy the party without getting his hands dirty, but he should have just gone full bore and wrecked it. Of course the party was going to pull out all the stops. Hollow careerism replaced ideology, elected Dems don't believe in anything except themselves, so when Sanders comes along they see an existential threat to the party because they think 'I am the party!'.

    Chávez told Lula, once 'The problem with you, is that the US will never hate you.'

    I feel like he's the definition of a lib that CAN be redeemed. Like, if any libs are redeemable (and I sure hope they are, since I used to be one), he's one of 'em.

      Ah you mean historically redeemed? Ah yes, he's a nice fella after all.

    highly suspect conviction

    kinda underselling it when there is direct recorded evidence of prosecutorial fraud
