So apparently there are people who want the DNC to schedule more Democratic debates, because… pain? Pain, and chaos, and stark despair as the crowd looks upon the assembled Democratic candidates and realize that this is all that there are. Anyway, there are a bunch of advocates for this particular Masochism Tango outside of DNC headquarters right now, and this is their war cry:
Somewhat inexplicably the protesters are now chanting "we want debate, not GOP hate" outside of the DNC

It’s not inexplicable at all, really. It’s what happens when you’ve been so rhetorically stunted by your own party that you can’t even express your distaste properly unless you reference the Recognized Hate Object. You end up making random non sequiturs.
What, no “classical reference” for the Masochism Tango?
Jove nods.
give them just a little push and they’d be chanting “death to America, death to Jews”. or maybe not even a little.
The perils of Newspeak strike – you can’t even properly identify who you are angry with.
