      To avoid immediately resorting to denial and conspiracy theories like some kind of smooth brained conservative, I reckon.

        Um… I guess.

        I was thinking of this phrase as being a little thought terminating. Like, instead of addressing the problems democrats have with outreach and mass appeal, etc., we just kind of sulk in the bed we’ve supposedly made ourselves.

        I hadn’t thought of the quelling conspiracies angle, though.

          Yeah, it’s definitely a “¿Por Qué No Los Dos?” situation. The Democrats need to figure out how to not come across as Republican Lite, and avoid that thought terminating stuff like you said, but damn is our culture also deeply flawed.
