Listen I’m sorry to be probably the 675 hojillionth person to make this basic snarky observation but:
Bragman had a real chance to advocate for things that could have advanced progressive priorities in America. Instead, he wrote the “liberal case” for voting for Donald fucking Trump.

There’s a real seething rage among self-described “leftists” when you suggest that we should blame republicans for the bad things republicans do.

Obviously, you can argue that Buttigieg’s lack of experience and elected office is a concern with supporting him for president. But this post effectively argues that he’s a bad politician bc he failed to be elected statewide in IN (PVI R+9) in 2010, head of the DNC, or president already. Brilliant.

Even if you genuinely believe that under a fair criminal justice system we would punish the people who do crimes rather than the people who eat the most Taco Bell, an attractive but idealistic position, you can’t expect people to remember who did crimes vs ate Taco Bell while others did crimes.
