Give me a break, for God’s sakes!
Updating this with a great comment from Alma
I’m tired of the media, and parties telling us (4.00 / 1)
who is electable. It’s time we told them who is electible, and acceptable, to us. It’s time to move the party to the left and the best way to do that is for the far left (Me & many here, I think), to go even farther if possible, as loudly as we can.

writing in the raw: what i love
there are times for anger. and action. there are times for confusion and catastrophe. there used to be… time for love.
yet is seems much of my time has been spent feeling overcome by the weight of so many bad things happening all at once that it….
… makes me forget why i’m so angry… because i love.
or why i feel this need to fight against changing winds, rising seas, cultural hatred, and eve_vree_thing else that darkens the sun… because i love

Pony Open Thread: off the cuff and out of my mind
Media Matters for America and Campaign for America’s Future released a special report, “The Progressive Majority: Why a Conservative America is a Myth,” documenting how the conventional wisdom that Americans are overwhelmingly conservative is fundamentally false. Through decades of public opinion data from nonpartisan sources, the report shows the majority of Americans hold progressive positions on a broad range of issues.
“This report shows that on issue after issue, most Americans agree with progressives and have for decades, despite what we hear from the media.” said David Brock, President and CEO of Media Matters. “The conventional wisdom advanced by the media — that the United States is becoming more and more conservative — has been debunked repeatedly by independent public polling, but that hasn’t stopped them from perpetuating this clearly flawed perception.”

Pony Open Thread: what does this mean?
According to the constructivist theory of liberal democratic peace, intersubjective social realities are often more important in the construction of pacific unions of interstate peace. In order to demonstrate the importance of social construction rather than objective matters as a source of peace, previous studies have discussed cases where democracies appear to have fought one another.
