Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Hey, if you want to deny that centrists have been both declaring that progressives can't win in red states and also blaming progressives when centrists lose, it's fine that you want to deny the lived experience of every progressive. Gaslighting and condescension are what centrists fall back on every time they're wrong, after all.
Where did I deny it?
All I'm saying is that it's adorable that you hate this narrative until you find an occasion that suits you, at which point, oh obviously this narrative is true.
So, either the centrists have been correct all this time or you are just excited to have a chance to spout the same nonsense. Either way, not really a position worth taking seriously.
It was true enough for centrists to beat progressives over the head with ever since centrists' candidate lost to centrists' second choice in 2016. It stops being true the instant a progressive says it to a centrist. Unsurprising how that conveniently works.
It's like talking to a brick wall.
So, either the centrists have been correct all this time or you are just excited to have a chance to spout the same nonsense. Either way, not really a position worth taking seriously.
I've got better things to do with my time. Have a good day!
Vote blue no matter who, unless that's suddenly horseshit because centrists don't wanna.
Okay, I have to admit I'm still curious.
Is the proposition you outline horseshit, as it was when the centrists used it? Or is it reasonable and thus the centrists were correct?
It's gospel until the instant it inconveniences centrists. Then it's immediately horseshit.
Again, do you think it's true now and was true before? Or were you spouting horseshit as well?
I answered your question. You don't like the answer, so you're going to ignore it and repeat the question.
I will point out any further gaslighting, condescension, and abuse, but I will no longer engage your arguments. You have shown that you are not arguing in good faith, and I will no longer participate on your terms.
