The fact that they’re not happy with her antics makes me happier with those same antics. Yeah, guys, you are feeling a threat to your position and you better actually worry about the progressive voters or you’ll get AOC’d. 

Regardless, Ocasio-Cortez is going to continue to piss off other Democrats who think she should wait her turn who are every bit as bought and sold by corporate interests as their GOP counterparts.

There’s one moron in this thread, that’s for sure.

Everyone knows: championships are won by reaching first base .1 seconds faster when one of your nine batters hits a ground ball in the infield.

It seems like the next CBA is unlikely to restore the previous market, and more likely (perhaps with a work stoppage) to put more money early in careers, so basically veteran free agents between now and then are just screwed. On the one hand, as a labor advocate, I hope the union is thinking of creative ways to force…

I have been made aware that some of the interactions related to a specific Twitter exchange may have had a negative impact. That was not my intention.

LOVE all the people saying that the Progressives are already destroying the Democratic party.

I have some bad news for you. The vast majority of white people opposed school integration at some level in the 70s. currently.

It’s not about the party faithful. It’s about your average, mostly apathetic voter, where the risk is not necessarily that they’ll vote Trump, but that they’ll stay home entirely.

Uh-oh, now you’re going to get a torrent of replies cursing you out for not accepting that Biden is “not perfect!” (where “not perfect” = “actually has a WHOLE LOT of REALLY BAD flaws, not just a few surface ones”). Because God knows you can paper over an entire litany of sins by merely saying that someone is “not…

It’s early yet, but I feel confident that this primary season is gonna be the worst, most irritating, absolute dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure whether to break out the popcorn or break out in hives.

You’ve spilled a lot of digital ink in this thread, but not offered one solution or alternative. 

They don’t get why Americans play the anthem before every local game of ball, either. Every other developed nation plays their own anthem only during international competitions when their national team plays.

The wrong side won the Cold War. At least if the Soviets had triumphed we’d have better national hockey and soccer teams.

I don’t make my kids say the pledge of allegiance in my classroom. At this point we just ignore it. My Iraq and Afghanistan veteran para fully supports it.

But, I do make them at least write a paragraph about WHY they won’t say it. They need to at least justify why. So they need to at least have a reason for…

After Trump we should demolish the White House, salt the earth and build a new Rainbow House next door. 

I remember when I first found out that my international friends in college shared that thought the Pledge was really creepy and weird.

I’m guessing it’s for the same reason the NHL continues to expand: the new owners have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in expansion rights fees that the existing owners get to pocket immediately without giving a cent to the players or anyone else.
