    Mitt Romney might just be the only member of the GOP with at least a single honest bone in his body.

        Irritatingly plausible. I’m going to be stoked if we get another election at all though.

          What’s the point of elections when it’s always already pre bought? AIPAC already bought everyone who would run for election; however, something happened on twitter and Trump and his goons are really upset at israel now.

        Well we’ll have an actual primary if there’s an election so if he gets through a democratic primary, that’s on democrat voters. I also don’t think he wants to run.

          very funny to see the results of the last few dem primaries and still think that voters choose who the candidate will be

            Voters not seeing that they’re getting played is its own problem. DNC can push whoever, up to voters to decide whether to follow or push back.

        Yeah, its just nice when they’re honest about it.

        US republicans will be like: “8 men should own this country and everyone else can die in the gutter”. US democrats will be like: “We need to reframe the conversation about the lived experiences of so many of our constituents, and reach solutions that include these realities [policies not different from those above]”.

          Democrats are evil fucks too. But not evil enough that I’m going to give Mitt Romney any credit.

            They’re evil enough. If complete support for yet another genocide isn’t “evil enough” I wonder what might do it.

      This isn’t a statement rooted in honesty or morality. This is saying the quiet part out loud.
