With Republicans in control of the House, Senate, and Presidency, options for Democrats are limited.

Today we discuss how we think the Democratic Party can and should move forward until the next election cycle.

This is Sarah from the Left and Beth from the Right.

You're listening to Pansy Politics.

No shouting, no insults, plenty of nuance.

We're covering CPAC, the DNC Chair Race, the Trump Administration's relationship with the press and the horrific hate crimes in Kansas today in the pearls.

And then in the suit we consider what Democrats should do while they are then the minority party.

Finally in the hills we're going to talk about what else is on our minds besides politics.

Did you watch much of CPAC, Sarah?

I watched zero of CPAC, Beth.

There are very few things that I care less about than CPAC to be honest with you, but I did watch excerpts from President Trump's speech there.

And I think that what caught my attention most was the continued discussion of the fake news and his railing against the fake news media.

And I'm just not sure where he thinks this discussion is going to go that is in any way productive.

I really liked Shepard Smith came out again and really defined it.

He was like, fake news is a fake news organization perpetuating misinformation.

It just bugs me the way he used that term.

Anything CNN or New York Times, it's not fake news.

Now they could have gotten something wrong, but fake news means it's a fake, it's a shell, right?

It's a shell game. Like that's not what this is. Stop using that term.

People are going to get confused and then not know why it's important not to click on stuff from, you know, occupied Democrats.

There was a really interesting series of tweets today that said it would be great if we could zoom out about 10 years to see the effect of Trump constantly talking about fake news.

I can guarantee you that at some point your local school board members are going to start to say that your community newspaper is fake news because they've reported something that people don't like.
