Our political scale has been distorted & propagandized by the corrupt elite to make basic empathy a radical political ideology. But it's not. Our barometer is off & a dangerous sociopathy has been the norm for way too long. That's how we got here: being conditioned into hyper individuality.

America does not have a far left movement.

Our far-right are fascists. Our center-right are extremist nationalists. Our center-left are classical conservatives. Our far-left are moral centrist moderates.

Any objective political compass would place politicians like Sanders or Warren barely left of center

A real far-leftist movement would be advocating for forced property seizure by the working-class.

Instead our far-left is like "don't let people die in medical poverty, please"

Just once in my life I would like to see a Democrat being interviewed by right wing media like Fox News or right wing media like every single other outlet treat their questions with the contempt they deserve. I know it's not going to fix everything or maybe even anything but how much coverage and how much groundswell of excitement from the base do you think it would inspire if when asked about "boys in girls sports" or some other stupid fucking culture war distraction one of them finally said "What the fuck are you talking about man? You sound like a dumb asshole right now."

What's the worst that's going to happen the New York Times is gonna work overtime to make sure you don't get elected? They were already doing that buddy.

You simply say "Are you stupid? Do you think I am stupid? And do you think all of the people watching at home are stupid? Everyone sees through what you are doing. Using one group as a scapegoat for the very real problems everyone has – all caused by Republicans by the way – unlike this fake one you have made up. Dumb asshole."

Just go on the attack for once instead of sitting there trying to please your enemy who is in the process of trying to humiliate you.

And if you want to say something else true that almost no Democrat ever says for some reason you can top it off with a “Every single Republican in our lifetime has sought to make our lives worse in every way possible. I’d like to try to stop that.”

It's unthinkable that a U.S. Senator would vote against releasing the Epstein files instead of demanding accountability. But that's exactly what Jon Husted did. Even worse, just weeks before that vote, Husted accepted a maximum campaign contribution from one of Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators.

Good, necessary... also blindingly obvious and a bit belated. God I hope Bouie writing it for NYT can help get it through the thick skulls of the oldest, most powerful Democrats though.

You can think of this Trump administration as a similar state of affairs. The American people broke something when they gave Trump a second chance in office. And there is no going back to the Union as it was. If Democrats hope to lead the nation to any kind of recovery, much less renewal, they must understand and internalize this fact of the matter.

Broken eggs cannot be mended. To try to do so, to try to return to some notion of normality is to court failure. Worse, it is to play a repeat of the last Democratic administration when, in pursuit of the familiar, the Democratic Party all but passed the baton back to reactionaries working toward something revolutionary.
