OH MY GOD SETH MOULTON JUST COMPARED OUSTING NANCY PELOSI TO OUSTING MARGARET THATCHER

[Mike Rows His Boat]

1. Clearly doesn't understand the diff between UKs parliament and Dem leadership process.

[Hortensis]

7. But dog-whistles feeding bigots what they crave are the same.

[Cha]

13. Or the difference between Margaret Thatcher

and Nancy Pelosi.

[Mike Rows His Boat]

15. That too.

Thanks. Was thinking that as I winced listening to him.

[Cha]

18. Thank You, Mike..

2. OK, he is now officially an asshole. Unfortunately, there is no recall provision...

for congresscritters.

But, nothing says they can't start a recall petition, even if it's just for show. Get under his lizard skin with it and it may help get him to quit.

3. Jim Webb's attempt to draw resentful white male voters

who are feeling "de-privileged" by too much equality comes to mind.

Well, this very privileged white male's coming from the right of our party, but he's going to have competition from those on the left who are trying the same thing. Populist resentments against "the establishment" draw from across the whole spectrum of not just our, but all parties. Webb lost to both Sanders, who did it better, and to Trump, who did it a lot better. And they all lost to Hillary.

5. In another thread

Someone said the crowd let him know in no uncertain terms that they disapproved of his efforts to defeat Pelosi.

[JaneQPublic]

6. Glad to hear it.

What an SOB Moulton is.

[demmiblue]

9. He's smarmy, imo:

14. Good for them

He is smarmy

[BSdetect]

8. This guy a gop plant? What a dick.

[PatSeg]

10. He's committing political suicide

I think he picked the wrong party.

[spanone]

11. fuck this twerp

[OnDoutside]

12. Of course Moulton hasn't a frigging clue what happened to the Tories when they knifed Thatcher in

the back ! They elected the Grey Man of Politics, John Major as Prime Minister, and went on to be routed in one of the largest electoral defeats since the Great Reform Act of 1832, in 1997.

[muriel_volestrangler]

16. The Tories chucked Thatcher because she had introduced a massively unpopular poll tax

that was going to lose them the next election in 18 months time (the first thing John Major did was to reverse it). And she was being increasingly nutty and divisive inside her own party about Europe (for instance, she had opposed German reunification). The situtation, compared to Pelosi having just led a 'blue wave', could hardly be more different.
