    ‘Democrats have a plan’

    She lost me right there. As a Democrat, I feel confident in stating that we have never had such a thing.

    It is a truth so old that Will Rogers was cracking jokes about it 100 years ago.

      There was exactly one moment in history where Democrats had a plan and that was the New Deal.

      Everything else has just been wild floundering and taking credit for other people’s activism.

        TBF the New Deal was a stolen idea too, so…

        Stolen from a union organizer, too, if I remember correctly.

          I don’t really care who originally came up with a good idea, I only care that it gets implemented.

            Hell, please democrats steal more leftist ideas. Have you heard the one about ranked choice voting? Ooh or how about mass public transit? I’ve got a real doozy of one about who should own the means of production…

      No she’s right. The plan is to abandon leftist constituents and try to court right wing voters, at least for the DNC. We will never have a real left wing party in the US :(

        Not without substantial electoral reform. Which puts us in the “chicken and the egg” scenario of not getting reform with the existing 2 party duopoly, and not breaking that duopoly without reform.

          Almost a dozen Republican states have straight up made it illegal to do RCV. They’re quick to add THAT to their state constitution, but delay, stall, and block any attempt to secure people’s health

    Do they, though?

    I mean, I guess “put out a benign centrist who doesn’t really offend too many people” is a type of plan.

      It’s basically what we have to do over here in the UK every time we want someone other than our own increasingly right-wing major party, who are, or at least have been, disturbingly popular.

      It’s been a while since it worked, but we’re about to give it a go again next month.

    I would be ecstatic if every journalist who talked to mtg or any public menace selling unfounded bullshit conspiracies just kept asking for source? whenever she says anything in public to drive home the point just how one note their song really is.

    Is she the “Jewish Space Lasers” one, the “dead brain worms” one or the “vaping in Beatlejuice” one? All these wingnuts are starting to blend together.

    Yes the plan is to let the Congressperson who looks like the Geico caveman’s sister completely destroy any chance the GoP has at legitimacy.
