Sectarianism of the center-right, the worst kind

The defining difference between Democratic Party centrists is whether they think of the left as a valid (if problematic) part of the coalition or as an enemy that needs to be defeated.

"Can a man become a woman?" raises a bunch of really interesting philosophical questions like

"How long should Rahm Emanuel spend in prison for helping cover up the murder of Laquan McDonald in order to win reelection?"

10,000 more votes in 2002 and we could've prevented Rahm from winning election to Congress.

Minneapolis is about to get its own Socialist Mayor. I love that for us ❤️✊🏾

I've been anxious to talk about this because it feels so selfish, but time to move past that.

I have a book coming out!

I'd attach the waving of Palestinian flags coinciding with a historic shift of opinion on the Palestine question as additional info that the dumbasses who get worked up about this type of shit should never be listened to again

Now that poll data shows that Americans have overwhelmingly become pro-immigrant in the last few months -- to the tune of a 25 year high, with most shift from GOP voters -- anyone want to apologize for saying that Mexicans waving Mexican flags at protests was going to go over badly with Americans?
