I’d like to thank all the replies telling me that an insurgent group taking over a party and transforming it could never happen.

I stupidly believed all these dumb books chronicling the many times it’s happened before, but you all set me straight.

The fact that Pelosi, who has been one of the highest ranking elected officials of americas liberal party, didn’t understand we do not need conservatism or to empower the conservative party, was her biggest flaw

the lesson democrats took away from 1996 is that the future is dick morris style polling on middle of the road bullshit. but again, if bill clinton is not your salesman, its gonna lose.

Obama still believes in the myth of the good Republican. It’s always been his biggest political blind spot.

This is a photo of Times Square in 1939 and we’re pretending conservatism’s problems with Nazism are a new development

I just don’t understand the mindset of constantly ceding this ground to the right. We can wrap ourselves in the flag and patriotism and fight for what is right instead of being oh so savvy ironic cynics.

its almost like repeating true, accusatory things about your political opposition instead of hoping the public just figures it out on their own or through the ny times is effective politics.
