    It seems incredibly petty at first glance, but tbh if it was my last day on earth I would probably spend at least a bit of it trying to remind people what an unbelievable piece of shit the Clinton administration was

    Then again, I have probably been tormented into complete insanity by the last two decades of American political news, so maybe that’s not saying much

      I learned who he was when some republican called him “Barney f-slur” and tried to play it off as a misspeaking of his name.

    Progress doesn’t happen by itself. Progress happens one gravestone at a time.

        The reason why the DNC wants to keep the geriatrics in charge is because their mind is indoctrinated to 1980s America where only blind support of capitalists and Israel is accepted.

        This is why they only promote people with shameless doublespeak so that they can throw a 3 minute word salad at any question with substance.

            There’s no such thing as illegal bribes anymore. Democrats won’t prosecute Republicans because they’re just controlled opposition.

              Crimes without consequences are still crimes, so yeah, illegal bribes are as rampant as they’ve been since before Roosevelt did his trust busting thing.

              Btw, the fascists might be much MORE corrupt (no “might” about it tbh, they DEFINITELY are), that doesn’t mean that the Dem leadership aren’t corrupt as fuck too. They are.

    If an 86 year old didn’t think progressives were going too far, it would just mean current progressives weren’t going far enough or we’d made zero progress over decades…

    And because we’re extra fucked, sometimes both happens at once now.

    But like, this is fucking normal, at that age you just hate any type of change and just want it to be like how you remember your childhood.

    The issue is we’re letting geriatrics control policy, this guy should have retired 20 years ago before the normal effects of aging had set in.

    Barney is and will forever be stuck in a two party mindset…and that’s what this mindset gives you - political brainworms.
