  1. If we're calling candidates like O'Rourke and Gillum progressive, than the definition has been totally diluted by the mainstream. Which is just what they've been trying to do for three or four years now. Pretty depressing.

  2. “We will strive for bipartisanship”
    Washington DC-code for “red or blue…we answer to the same donors, wich shouldn’t fear for their interests”.
    So much for the “takeover “ of the DNC…if fossils like Feinstein and Pellosi stay in their seat and even a plain out criminal like Debbie Wasserman Shultz manages to beat Tim Cannova because of the limitless financial leverage she can work with….you know you’re far from home. Let’s just wait and see what the elected justice democrats are able to do in the House and within the structures of the DNC….maybe they can find some holes in the wall, here and there, to break into the Party-system. If not…a third party will be inevitable.
    Under the current circumstances the democrats can not go to 2020 in the hope to win….Joe Biden, Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris….and of course the queen of defeat herself, Hillary Clinton (who recently expressed her continuing desire to become President)…none of these corporate tools can win in 2020.
    Either the DNC goes, wholeheartedly, for Bernie and Tulsi Gabbard, or a similar combination….or the justice democrats have to pack up their stuff, leave the DNC-brothel and unite with green and all kinds of progressive, independent movements to go to 2020 with a real populist alternative that can beat Trump.
    These midterms bring us a mixed message: a number of justice democrats made their way into the House, a disappointing number of corporate power-brokers stay in control…and the Republicans didn’t get blown away, like some daydreamers have been shouting for some time now.
    All in all we better come to terms, right now, with the fact that Trump will be a force to reckon with in 2020….and just like in 2016 he might get victory handed to him by the stubborn democrats that, with suicidal discipline, hold on to the corporate script.

  3. Andrew Gillium is not a Progressive. He supported ACA over Medicare-For-All. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez bends the knee to Nancy Pelosi and the Neoliberal bunch.

  4. Becoming clear that nothing short of revolution will turn this ship around.
    We don't have to steer clear of the iceberg this time because they are all melting.

  5. Too bad that the neoliberal identity politics shit party didn't lose more seats. The left needs to clean up its shit before it becomes voting for again. As long as it pushes for open borders and the EU I will continue to rather vote nationalist whenever I can.

  6. Why does each analysis of the midterm race have to be preceded by "racist" when describing republicans who won their seats? Very odd.

  7. 'We will have accountability' translation: we will bitch and make demands on others that we will call discrimination when we are held to the same standard.

  8. Nancy Pelosi is such a loser. With Nancy at the helm of the DNC there'll be no checking the rampaging GOP. She's and the rest of the DNC elite are one big bucket of failure.
