What this guy did to India Walton and the voters of Buffalo was beyond the pale and he should have been forced to resign then (and a million times before and since, but that instance made me particularly full of rage).

If you don't believe in the democratic decision making of the party's members, you shouldn't lead said party. Seems simple to me.

Wife: I'll buy a subscription to any publication that writes one honest story about the "masculinity crisis" that just says "Men want to be able to treat women like shit and still get laid" and just be done with it. There's no more depth to the discussion. There is no nuance.

An email stating the Taco Bell Quarterly has been added to the Library of Congress
Oh my God!? We've been added to the Library of Congress. A literary magazine that I make for fun in my basement as my midlife crisis has been added to the historical record, called the uh, ahem, Taco Bell Quarterly. We are the most prestigious literary magazine of all time.

So my un-popular opinion is that progressives need to spend way more time organizing in Black & Brown communities and less time at places like Coachella.
One of the biggest challenges that progressive candidates face is a total lack of support from middle aged and older minority voters.
