The Parkland kids beat you to this. Sarah Chadwick said

Respectfully, I have two cheers for this sentiment.

JFC, THIS!

Unpopular reality here, but if you wanted the Democrats to have the Senate, you have to change the functionality of the election/voting laws. Make no mistake, the 2018 Midterms were the highest voter turnout in the United States since 1914 (for midterms). https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/11/19/18103110/2018…

No. Stop participating in this shit. You are framing this as a fucking spectacle to be judged by entertainment value - which is what Trump is doing, which is what the MSM is doing. Not to mention y’all were reporting all day on how Republicans were being crazy, and we could all see they were wording questions crazily…

This is it! The media had its narrative pre-crafted, just ad this blanket response is pre-crafted. MSNBC had a fucking countdown clock leading up to the testimony, fachrissakes. They were the ones creating the whole Silver Bullet expectation. Being crafted to fail, who is surprised by today’s headlines?

I think another important distinction to make here is that she’s still chasing after the boomers... and, well, it’s a bit late to be structuring the party around it’s oldest generation.

Because she’s just not in tune with where a large chunk of her caucus and voters are at, emotionally and politically (or at least that’s what she’s acting like). I believe if she truly understood what is happening in the political climate and where it came from, she would do exactly what you’re saying - use these…

Why are they acting all butthurt when the DOJ said today they will never enforce any of these subpoenas, and Pelosi shows no indication she’s ever going to use Congress’s inherent enforcement powers? 

Wait, why wasn’t he all LOCK HER UP BUT HER EMAILS

They don’t even try to cover up their filthy lies and shameless hypocrisy. I really want to see the republican party destroyed in my lifetime and its leaders imprisoned for all of their crimes. Some of which are, I am sure, described in Ivanka’s emails.

This is a very reasonable fear and it is another reason why total elimination of private insurance cannot possibly be among thy first steps. I will only feel comfortable with it if there is a goddamn constitutional amendment enshrining the right to all types of legal healthcare. If we have no private insurance,…

This is such a huge component of it that I think gets lost in discussion. We are told there are jobs galore available yet many do not offer insurance. Does that really feel like “freedom” to anyone?

I have yet to hear a satisfying answer to this: what is the downside to using a public option as a transitional tool? I understand why we ultimately don’t want to have private insurance - what I’m asking is why can we not let people hold onto that for now and play the long game of building the support and legal…

Employer based insurance are a golden shackle to tether workers to companies and corporations they otherwise wouldn’t want to work for. I need insurance. I’ll die without it, within maybe 2 years. I’ve walked a fine line to get said insurance. Do I want employer based insurance over the ability to do whatever I want?…

Okay, but just spitballing here, say a Presidential candidate who wants Medicare 4 all gets elected and passing Medicare 4 all isn’t in the cards because of the alignment of the Senate, but other lesser reforms are?

after all, medicare and medicaid were installed gradually, over a period of decades of incremental cha-

Won’t somebody please think of the optics?!?!?!?!?!

I think of the elites all the time.

All establishments are hated.
