You don't have to do more than the Democratic party. But I'd expect something better than linking nonsense posts and posting 'welcome to the resistance' when anyone under the sun comes out something closely anti-Trump.
Perhaps it's time to say 'Eboue, welcome to the resistance'?
I joined the DSA. I go to meetings. I organize for a more just society.
But even if I didn't, my point would be equally valid. This is the politics section of a forum. talking about politics is what most of us do here, except you who logs on solely to defend the Democratic party whenever someone criticizes it.

Circus is complete .Oprah is looking to run in 2020. Just waiting for Dwayne Johnson now
Kmn
Edit: seriously if she runs every politician including Bernie should off himself. It's the end. They don't have work anymore.

Where did you hear that? It's just people bigging her up cause she killed it last night.
Oprah? Feckin hell.
The depressing reality is she'd probably still beat someone like Bernie to the nomination. What an absolute shitshow of a political culture - across both sides of the spectrum.

This is a fascinating and revealing thread...
Nor is that surprising.
Like most celebrities she's just a bandwagoner, at the time it was fashionable to ride the wave of patriotism following 9/11 so it's not surprising she embraced the Iraq war.
Of course I'd expect her to now claim she never really supported it, because you know, that's the fashionable trend now.
Oprah helped create the mass anti-vax movement. As such she can go feck herself.
Would be great if he ran and siphoned off some of the "batshit insane racist asshole" vote
I guess this is bad news for Kelli Ward (a Bannon protege) and good news for the Dems seeking to take the seat.
This is a new low.
CNN ignoring the story so far
It was such a stupid move from Bannon to do what he did.
This. He'll split the GOP votes. I heard Sinema already was the favoured candidate to win.
What a wonderfully shitty week for Republicans.

Try reloading, it looks fine on my screen.
That's encouraging news. Though the state republicans are appealing the decision and the supreme court will have a look into it.
U.S. Interior Department to put academic, nonprofit grants through political review

The political officer eh? What an administration!
So a guy who fought for the flag and the American way of life (ie Zinke)n implements something akin to what you used to see in Nazi German and Soviet Union.
With any luck, it will be implemented in other Depts and praised by Trump for promoting alternative facts.

Just remember about this today, if Oprah runs and is elected....
One of the few wealthy people I truly admire. Built his empire literally from scratch and through a lot of hard work.
That was his story, but he had plenty of financing. He only bought a house with a garage so he could pretend he started Amazon from his garage. His employees are treated like slaves though.
Oprah always struck me as a well meaning idiot. I didn't watch her show often but whenever I did there was some fad or concept or cause she was completely buying into without doing hardly any research on the subject.
If she ever got any power people around her would play her like a fiddle.
I have to say I'm a little bemused at how defensive posters are here regarding Hillary Clinton.
Given how most posters are extremely vocal with their disgust towards Trump (and rightly so), whenever anyone questions Hillary's integrity the same posters get so dismissive and defensive it's borders on condescension.
Its hardly a conspiracy theory to suggest that she's a morally compromisable individual with links to questionable factions. Heck, the Obama administrations covert support of Al Qaeda affiliated groups was probably one of the worst kept secrets in the middle East. In fact anyone who's observed their foreign policy over the last 50/60 years would know the US has a history of supporting extremist factions to topple and undermine their secular and Soviet-friendly rivals. They did it in Latin America, in Afghanistan and now they're doing it in the middle east.
This isn't just some lazy "but her emails!!" deflection customary of the right, but rather a genuine concern of the credibility and integrity of a presidential candidate who's has an open track record of being hawkish and objectively unfit to represent the progressive voice of America, and by proxy the free world. Yet if anyone progressive has the audacity to bring this into scrutiny the same way they'd do with Trump then they're met with derision and ridicule.
And you wonder why many voters on the left voted third party or just stayed at home. Hence it didn't surprise me Trump won, collusion or no collusion.

Which posters? Most of us here were Bernie supporters before the election and don't really like Hillary in the slightest.
Clinton is the reason Trump is now president. There's enough dirt there over the years as well.
Exactly.
Its convenient to pin the blame on collusion and the ignorance of voters, but the cold reality is she lost because she wasn't able to garner the support of progressive/moderate voters. Or more simply, she lost because she was a bad candidate, and you'd have to be a pretty awful candidate to lose to Trump.
Take a look at the treatment Eboue gets here from 'progressive' voters for having the audacity to vote Jill Stein, a genuinely progressive candidate.
That's not the same at all. You don't have to be a Hillary fan to think that not voting for her was very dangerous (dependant on the circumstances). If Eboue lives in a solidly red or blue state then good on him, but if he's in a swing state then voting third party in an election where Donald Trump was a candidate was not a smart idea. Unless you genuinely believe that Hillary would be as bad for America as Trump is, in which case you're sure as feck not a progressive.
