Progressives, part 3...

She’s horrible. I’m no Tapper fan, but his questioning was good. 

Tapper has kind of been on point this past week. He gave the head of the DNC a pretty good smackdown over his Keith Ellison hypocrisy the other day as well.

He seems to at least try to play the middle of the road, but then on twitter he retweets some terrible super left stuff. He is one of the better ones though. It's funny on twitter when he says anything moderate, his responses get murdered by the crazies.

Lol not sure if serious, but the dude all the way to the left needs some gun etiquette.

XD  This is excellent.

And yes, those other guys should be moving and laying hands on the guy on the left.  "Every gun is loaded."

No special insight.....just not stupid.  The obvious is obvious

Ah, so just because.  Of course.  How did I miss it?

No actually reasoning or logic is necessary to believe it, then.

Got it.  Cool.

Guy on left has his finger on the trigger and pointed at his buddies knee...and it's a shotgun so it wouldn't miss from that close...

I think that's what he meant by saying the guy needs some gun etiquette.

As someone who was wildly democrat until I was almost 30, I think it would be nice to see this come to fruition.

Neither party is what it was when I was younger.  Hell, neither party is what it was 10 years ago.

Republicans were a respectable, sober-minded, thoughtful party who emphasized the value of a high standard of morality for their leaders.

Democrats were a compassionate, ambitious, recklessly caring lot who emphasized the value of financial security for anyone willing to include their own sweat equity.

If the party of family values from the '90s and '00s were to look at today's Republican Party, they wouldn't recognize it.

And if the party of progressives from the same era were to look at today's Democratic Party, they would see it as equally foreign.

That white women shouldn't vote republican, but that it is ok for black women to only vote for democrats.

Full quoted tweet text:

White women: 76% Kemp 59% Cruz 51% DeSantis Black women: 95% O'Rourke 97% Abrahms 82% Gillum White women gonna white.

Demonizing white women seems like excellent strategery.

Wait ...

Let me make sure I'm understanding this properly ...

She's saying that white women were whiting by voting for Rafael Cruz instead of Robert Francis O'Rourke?

You think that's bad?
