Six Insurgent Candidates Just Out-Raised Their Establishment Democratic Opponents

Blue dogs and third way democrats were purged from the party years ago; there are almost none left anywhere. This is actually bad, because what has replaced them are tea party nutjobs and bigots from the right wing of a far right GOP.

In the 1980s, every one of those regulatory agencies was 180 degrees from where they were now, on literally every conceivable issue. The GOP of the 1980s protected almost no federal land and did nothing to protect the environment; Obama protected more land than all other presidents combined. Fuck, I don't have to write this again. Literally everything I said is objectively, provably true about Obama's policies and regulatory appointments and judicial appointments. Simply restating a nonsensical and objectively untrue argument, that you didn't even attempt to buttress with facts or with any responses to my very detailed argument indicates that responses would be futile.

The idea that a throwaway quote he made in response to a question about economic policies in 2012 stands as a final word on policies that are lightyears from the AIDS-denying, deregulating, healthcare-limiting GOP of the 80s or any time is totally absurd. The GOP of the 80s would not have expanded Medicaid to tens of millions of people.

HOW IS SO MUCH BUNK PEDDLED WITHOUT CRITICAL THOUGHT!? FUCK!
