For those scared of the "Musk Machine!" ( oh noes! )
When I became a Democrat, it was the more tolerant party. Republicans were run by religious nut jobs and corporate robots. Now, the Democrats are in a lot of ways the less tolerant party.
The least tolerant part is actually the establishment wing of the party that says anyone opposing their anointed leaders is committing heresy. If you try to give constructive criticism of the party to improve it, they drive you from the party while screaming, “He’s not a real Democrat!!”
They hate populists. They have become the corporate robots I couldn’t stand. They hate their base. They insult our intelligence by pretending that the donors are not in charge. They think we should be controlled and learn how to follow orders. And they have no idea how elitist they sound.
Predictably, their unironic reaction to this post will be, “Heretic!!”

If you had suggested 8 years ago that one day Cenk Uyger and The Young Turks would be walking in my footsteps ... I'd have said 'Of course they will. Duh.' It was after all, one of the predictions I've stood behind the most since I started recognizing reality for what it was.
And ... another one.
Welcome to heresy Cenk.
