Atrios Gets It, Atmo, Blasphemes
Slyly trenchant concise fisking of the Dem establishment by Atrios. He gets it, atmo, but won't have any impact on either the true-believing fluffers or the rock-ribbed conservative establishment that is the Democratic Party. The not-at-all-hidden truth of the Democratic Party is that the Dems in charge don't really--or at all--believe in (promoting) the ideas or policies anyone on The Left gives a shit about; only the most craven and addle-headed apparatchiks would claim the Democratic Party is left-wing, liberal, progressive. At its core the Democratic Party is a solidly right-wing party in policy and in practice. It's only when compared to the fucking insane reactionary fuckwads in the Republican Party, the religious maniacs, the deranged teabaggers, the nativist morons, the guntards, the imperial lunatics, that the Dems appear somewhat normal. Hillary may be better than Trump--as many Dems were better than any Republicans many times in the recent and not-so-recent past--but that doesn't make her good, and it doesn't make her or her party connected at all to The Left. Sr. Black understands that basic truth as well as anyone.
