Is it possible you don't know who schultz. Hartmann, papantonio, and hedges are? Or king for that matter? Doesn't seem very progressive.

Part of the problem is the length of time given to campaigning. BigmanPigman Aug 2017 #4

Agree about length of election. We need to follow European nations where it's a couple of months. iluvtennis Aug 2017 #38

I don't see much of that behavior on the left. I see a huge mix of response to Sanders, some of JCanete Aug 2017 #7

HRC had tons of specific policy proposals. Trump's the one who ran a cultish "emotions" campaign emulatorloo Aug 2017 #54

It has a whole fucking lot to do with reality. Trump actually had ridiculous specific proposals JCanete Aug 2017 #57

You're projecting Trump's campaign on to HRC. Speeches/debate highlighted policy. emulatorloo Aug 2017 #59

Don't misunderstand me. Trump's campaign was totally a cult of personality and a lot of JCanete Aug 2017 #78

There were named Democrats in the tweets refernced in the OP Progressive dog Aug 2017 #45

Centrist Dems that every other Dem must support? George Eliot Aug 2017 #48

They are the people that you call centrist Democrats Progressive dog Aug 2017 #53

Why gratuitist? Several.I listen, read, watch an awful lot. CNN,Cspan,RT,FOX,CBC,DemNow George Eliot Aug 2017 #61

so you prefer Russian state media Progressive dog Aug 2017 #66

RT-Hartmann, Schultz, Papantonio, Hedges Why not? Are they Russians? Fox-different pt of view George Eliot Aug 2017 #69

That "are they Russians?" is funny Progressive dog Aug 2017 #70

"MSNBC is the Messiah" is one of the dumbest hyperbolic nonsense I've read on DU emulatorloo Aug 2017 #56

Can media be too influential? Is msnbc corporate media with a corporate message? George Eliot Aug 2017 #62

"can media be too influential?" isn't hyperbole. "MSNBC is the Messiah" is ridiculously hyperbolic emulatorloo Aug 2017 #64

I've studied media as well. Fox and MSNBC are the same on a basic level: janx Aug 2017 #71

Maddow doesn't lie, Hannity lies constantly emulatorloo Aug 2017 #73

I know that. I understand that. janx Aug 2017 #76

No, Maddow ≠ Hannity. That's absurd. That would be hyperbole. George Eliot Aug 2017 #74

Kucinich has pretty much gone full right wing anti-Democratic Party. MrsCoffee Aug 2017 #47

His daughter, Jackie, appears on CNN and Fox. What's his point of view on Fox? George Eliot Aug 2017 #75

All he does is defend Trump on Fox. MrsCoffee Aug 2017 #79

That's disappointing. Our Dept of Peace candidate defending Trump. Hard to believe. Thanks. George Eliot Aug 2017 #80

We will continue to disagree then about the definition of "employees." WinkyDink Aug 2017 #67
