He's realized the party he was a part of would now hang him from a bridge for being queer and an affront to Muhammad.

Some of them might well feel that way.

I read this earlier. I was going to make a thread about it and forgot. You've got to give this man credit for being on his death bed and wanting to make a difference in the world by calling out the truly loony.

I haven't found anything about the book suggesting he took "the dems looney left to task." What's your source?

I have a lot of respect for his intellect and humor. Really smart, very funny.

Why is it that democrats have to either be on the verge of death or have a stroke before they start to make sense?

Because MAGA is stroked out and it brings them down to the MAGA level.

No, try again, only first stick your head in a fan spinning really fast.

We can help you start to make sense as well.

A champion of liberal causes during his 32 years representing Massachusetts in the House, Frank says progressive Democrats have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.”

“Until we separate ourselves from that agenda, we don’t win,” he said in an interview Tuesday.

Stroked out! ^^^

Sadly, not all democrats will never make any sense, even on their death beds.

Idealism is not politically expedient.

Frank, a highly-successful liberal politician, was always practical.
