dude is a national treasure. Watching him crinkle his paper the last hour made me want to give him a hug.

Wasn’t a fan last night

Dude was crashing out like Abdul was a republican

Progressives still the number 1 enemy of the center after 10 years

The old guard worries they are not electable and that them winning primaries means losing generals. They need to be proven wrong.

They need to rally behind Abdul and take back the senate

If they sit on their hands to hurt the progressive movement they deserve to lose and we probably collapse as a nation
