It clearly is, the question is to what extent. 

Wait—- go back a step, is there currently a country on Earth that wouldn’t deport immigrants who commit a felony with certain exceptions?

ummmmmm.....Social Security-- perhaps the single best known New Deal program-- sure as hell was incremental. 

No they did manage to give Bernie credit for an Airport workers strike because he released a press release after Warren and Tlaib did.

I mean, the ACA was literally the issue that won Dems the House and in less than half a decade in full effect has saved tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives, so there’s that. 

A public option and further Medicaid expansion would be a pretty significant improvement on the status quo, in much the same way that the ACA was a dramatic improvement on the pre-reform status quo.

Once again- 70% of the public supports a Medicare for All that want it approach, only 40% or so support an approach that bans private insurance.

I’ not saying she’s not in a bubble, but I think people who feel there’s this huge groundswell of support for impeachment whether it’s in the general public or the Democratic Caucus are also in a bubble— I have doubts that even 50% of the current House Democratic Caucus would vote in favor of an impeachment inquiry--…

Nah. She just doesn’t have the votes- I think people are grossly overestimating how many members of the House Democratic Caucus would vote in favor of an impeachment inquiry- if an actual vote happened today I’m guessing it’s 120ish or so. 

Cool Seth, sorry your centrist choice for Speaker couldn’t beat out Nancy, I guess you moderates just need a better candidate next time. 

True, but look at the reaction from even the Front pagers on here to the Mueller hearing (and the report in general) it’s a fucking shrug.

We hope that the process itself has either uncovered enough new evidence or brought enough currently existing evidence to light that it dramatically shifts public opinion on the issue; we fear that it doesn’t and that Trump emerges from a House indictment and Senate acquittal like Bill Clinton did.

Get 120-150 members of the House Democratic Caucus publicly on board with an impeachment inquiry and she’ll start to move on it, at present I don’t think there’s even a majority within the caucus in support, much less an overall majority in the House. 

Ugh. Just wait for the inevitable Greitens revival in 2024 or so.

Oh good to know that 0.1% chance of passage by 2026 is actually 0— the AMA and the AHA will go all in against this then— remember both of those constituencies backed the ACA.

Yeah.....they haven’t been too hesitant to cut out abortion funding.

This concern is why a lot of women’s reproductive health orgs are hesitant to sign on to M4A, the fear of this cycle:

I’m looking forward to this year’s “Inspired by Midsommar” Christmas decorations. 

Wait-- not to speak to the morality of her cause, but interrupting a Presidential speech to yell at the President would literally make one a heckler, that’s not media bias that’s just accurate. 

I believe he’s addressing the fact that a lot of physicians limit the number of Medicaid/Medicare patients they see
