Yes, indeed, that's the ticket for orchestrating your comeback as a viable political party

A candidate for chair of the Freedom-Hater National Committee thinks doubling down on shaming white people for their pigmentation is a winner:

Evidently the only way for a white person to check one’s privilege to an acceptable degree in 2017, for example, is to feel ashamed.
Recently, DNC chair candidate Sally Boynton Brown called on this shame to pitch herself for the job—a job she described as removing other white people from the conversation. “My job is to listen and be a voice. And my job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt. My job is to shut other white people down when they want to say, “Oh no, I’m not prejudiced. I’m a Democrat. I’m accepting.’” Sorry, Ms. Boynton, but none of that sounds very “accepting.”
“I’m a white woman. I don’t get it,” she said. Ditto. I don’t get why you think races shouldn’t be treated equally, giving everyone a voice. I don’t get why you want to divide instead of unite, and I don’t get why you think that’s your job. I don’t get why we shouldn’t love ourselves the way God, circumstance, or a roll of the dice made us instead of being ashamed of it.
She gets my vote!

  1. Rest assured that there is opposition to the right outside this leftist bull crap.

  2. There is also a very strong Right in this country at present.

  3. The first 3 weeks of Ram It & Cram It, whether formally protested or not, will linger like vomitus at the mid terms and the voters will never go for that meal again. You guys already blew it!

  4. You really need to itemize, at least to some degree, just what constitutes "ram and cram" for you. If you're referring to cabinet appointments, that process is proceeding more slowly than it has for most recent presidents. If you're talking about executive orders, do you uniformly deem them bad? If not, which ones stoke you as having possibilities? If you're talking about the governing-by-tweeting stye, I am in complete agreement. S-H's Twitter account is the best substantiation of the thrust of that April 2016 "Against Trump" issue there is .

    But a general tossing out of a "Ram It and Cram It" complaint doesn't tell us anything to speak of. I would wager that an aggressive first three weeks for certain types of new presidents would please you a great deal.

  5. Well, since he has backed off some cram on China and Israel, there are 2 less things on my list, but, not the Cabinet, I knew what was coming. The immigration order and the wall are 2 biggies for me. And no, I know Obamacare failed from the get go because of ram and cram, so I'm just not into that. It does seem that the Pubs did not learn from the experience. And actually, go tell your students who pay to listen to you what to write about and what to include.

  7. Help me here, though, which should come first, cram or ram as in cram and ram, well, cram should come first, dontcha think, you have to cram then ram, dontcha? But I can see ramming and then cramming as equally valid. And with or without lubricant, damning, always damning, that ramming and cramming, that cramming and ramming. Who put the cram in the ramma damma ding dong?

  8. Mr Dings in life is so earnest in business, accurate in many forms of assessment, the coherency does not desert him here, he just chooses to communicate... John like. Is a Freedom Hater the same as A Baby Killer, or are these just volatile labels which further a divide? The 120 word sound bite world I guess.

  9. "John-like" is quite a unique form of expression.

  10. An old facebook post from 6 years ago showed up in my feed. In it I was bemoaning Evan Bayh leaving the Senate on the heels of James Webb and wondering where this Bobby Kennedy Democrat was supposed to turn now.
