If someone acts like a child, they get treated like one.  Makes sense to me.  

“Sweet... fancy, Moses...”

A total of 30,000 people voted in that primary. The district has almost 700,000 residents. She won 15,000 votes in the primary, or roughly 2% of her district.

It all fits my stereotype of a McKinsey consultant. While I have no real feelings on Pete at this point. I definitely have feelings for McKinsey consultants. They are not good feelings.

To be fair, when casting my ballot, I would happily vote for “Glass of Water (D)” over ANY FUCKING REPUBLICAN.

I live in one of “those” districts (Nancy’s actually)...is the water at least cooler than room temperature?

She said it about her own district as well.

Yeah, but she ain’t wrong. I’m all for keeping progressive momentum going in pulling the Democratic party more to the left through primaries. But in 2018 the House was flipped by less leftist Democrats winning in swing districts, not the (outstanding people that we need more of) handful of progressives who won in…

Where is the lie?

I have run into some truly stupid people who have passed my state’s bar exam.

She does not.  California allows the option of serving as an apprentice to a licensed attorney for four years.  After that time, you can sit for the bar and, if you pass, able to practice law in California just as any other attorney who passes the bar.  The pass rate for people who try it this way is about 30%.

My problem with the criticism she's getting over this is the fact that much of it is so obviously tied to slut-shaming  and people's virgin/whore complex.

Did it ever occur to you that it literally does not matter how perfectly curated Ilhan’s words are, and that her very existence is the chum that attracts the Breitbart’s and Fox’s of the world?

I agree with you, somewhat, because I understand how the political game is played.  I also think it doesn’t really matter what she says - she’s a lightning rod for bigotry and she somewhat plays into it to (in my mind) push the boundaries of what is ‘acceptable.’

I don’t think it should have anything to do with whether Pelosi or Schumer are ‘centrists’ for them to explicitly state Omar’s name or position in their rebuke of 45. 

Everyone needs to understand that Progressive is not liberal, and liberal is not progressive. These are disparate factions in the democratic party and cannot co-exist in the long term. Embracing AOC-style twitter activist socialism is literally choosing to push away 47 percent of your party to court the 8 percent…

Actually, if you look at the most recent analyses, the democratic base is majority moderate. It was moderates who won the swing districts and red districts that gave us the “blue wave”. The Justice Dem candidates and Bernie endorsements lost more often than they won. Pelosi is anticipating Trump and GOP strategy of…

She’s talking about progressive members of the House. And she’s not wrong. Most Democrats nationally are not that progressive and it’s reflected in who we elect. 

Actual TRADITIONAL Chinese food barely resembles the stuff served in most Chinese restaurants which specifically cater to American tastes and sensibilities.

Most people’s experience with Chinese food is American’ized sugar slop. Do you think that your local takeout is in any way close to authentic? That the Chinese add nuclear red sugar sauce to everything?
