The attacks on Ali Velshi's monologue yesterday - "Where's the Party?" are out of line.

98. lol

...he's not part of anything but a compromised news org.

That's the limit of his experience with legislative politics.

What's his claim to superiority over our elected Democrats? His ability and willingness to throw stones at the wrong party?

Ali's experience is in performative politics so it's not a surprise he's trying to talk Democrats into a navelgazing focus on themselves. He's in the business of horse races and stirring up controversy for clicks and ratings, and the claim that he's not pushing a political agenda as he talks out of his ass about Democrats who he only pays attention to as he denigrates them is really something.

'Pay attention to Velshi instead of our elected Democrats' - someone who does NOTHING but run his mouth - while asserting that our elected officials are 'just doing their job,' isn't a cogent argument and it just invites this kind of disconnect from what Democrats are actually doing, vs. what Velshi thinks is so important in what he blabs on and on about on teevee.

Anyone can point to Trump and tell us what he's done wrong. That it's remarkable to see that from a reporter tells us all we need to know about the value of their gaslighting obviousness.

And look how far this convo is from what our Democrats are actually doing and saying. THAT"S what should concern you here. All of this conjecture about them and not a bit care to amplify actual advocacy and action from the people we elected.

That's the problem, imo. People always point to republicans and ask why they are successful in their bull, and it's because they don't allow themselves to splinter and divide like Democrats are susceptible to; and corporate journos with a show to sell know just how to get Democrats eating at their own, for whatever brilliant reason they do that divisive thing for.
