I love so-called progressives who act like this isn't a thing that happened. 

They don't have a lot of options with the DOJ infiltrated by Trump loyalists. :/

Pssst it’s the message before “call me” that's of concern, dipshit. 

I agree but simultaneously it’s like, if I elect a president I want that person to have power so it would feel like an annoying Democrat “high road” self-own. It’s a tough one.

Scuse me but I have it on good internet commenting authority that she is a corporate shill and the corporate sector is supporting her to sabotage Bernie. 

Well yeah but you’d have to trust people to remember the beginning of the story as anything other than NAFTA BAD, MURICAN JOBS GOOD!

I swear to fuck if I go through another election being harassed by assholes on the left who have the same fucking goals I do because they are believing Russian-planted conspiracies...argghh. 

I’mopen to idea it may not be gone for good, but we certainly can't count on them. 

Trumpvoters are indeed idiots but they vote and our strategy has to assume they will vote in droves no matter what. 

Sure - it’s important that the more progressive voters hear this stuff though. They need to see the possibilities if Democrats have more power. 

I assume it’s Trump eating up all the air. 

I fully acknowledge that she is strategic and is acting strategically. And while I disagree with the idea impeachment was off the table before, I understand that argument and where it comes from. Ultimately we are all acting on speculation and hypotheticals about all this until an election tests it, which is why I…

It has to be the right voters in the right states for the Republicans to feel a threat from this. 

I think if they turn on him, it will be quick so they can get their affairs in order for 2020. But I don't actually think it will happen...

To their credit they have been doing this, but to their...uncredit (sure)...we haven't heard much about it. 

She hasn’t “won” anything on impeachment except some good poll numbers a year before the election (and Trump donations spiked at the same time). There’s no proof this strategy is or isn’t good because there have been no elections and also, thus far, no impeaching. I’m sick of people acting like this was her plan all…

I get that the challenges might be different (though you don’t always get to shut down a building), but how big the project is is not the issue. The most common things you have to do are enlarge bathrooms, adjust stairs, add ramps, add elevators - that takes up a ton of space and an older building that doesn’t have…

Agree. 

I’m not a fan of blanket obstruction either - but this isn’t “day to day business.” It’s not like this was passing a budget or responding to a crisis. This is a big deal that Trump can tout as a legislative achievement AFTER he blew up the first deal by being a stupid maniac. So he’s going to get credit for fixing a…

The only condemnation I have towards Pelosi is not seeing that those very policies hurt the Democratic cause and pushed the DNC further towards callow Centrism.
