the clinton/obama consultant holdovers are the biggest detriment to the democratic party. almost all of the party's failures can be traced to them and the politicians who follow their terrible counsel.
I think it is crucial for the health of the Democratic party that the entire consultant class from previous administrations, including and especially Clinton, be told to go home and stop bothering people. They are wrong about everything and have been holding the party back for decades.

I don’t trust the mainstream media, but I feel like the primary alternate model, getting the news from the posts of a 14 year-old Romanian schizophrenic shitposter named “G00n3R the Swamp Pervert,” is not necessarily a superior alternative.

Obviously if they agree to draw down their stocks (and while they're doing that they presumably won't need US exports of diesel) then they're guaranteed that in the future Trump won't ban diesel exports to them. That's just how it works, right, you make a deal and he sticks to it?
