We Lost A Boatload Of Seemingly-Decent Dems In This Cycle

The General mourns Neiwert--but still professes love for Atrios as Sr. Black treads oh so delicately along the edge of the blade above the failed and foolish Dem establishment and its sinecure with checks signed by David Brock.  Neiwert is a tough loss; he was a voice of reason against fascists, proto-fascists, and neo-Nazis like Trump's boys for a long time, but he succumbed to the brain-eating bug that makes all those dickheads love Clinton and failure and bullshit way too much now.  That sucks.  But the worst part of the last eight years has been the fluffers and tools and welfare academia morons and the rest, so we should not be surprised, only saddened, that those asswipes helped deliver us to Herr Trumpenfurher.
