Exactly, and from when Pelosi was Speaker:

He really is the closest we have to another Obama, in terms of his ability to inspire people, especially people that aren’t the usual Democratic base.  

The Trump base (though they weren’t called that yet, it’s essentially the same group of people) did protest when a (black) Democrat was elected President. It was called the Tea Party, and it wasn’t even a decade ago.

The GOP has been capitalizing on racism since at least the southern strategy, they’ve just now gone all in on being the party of racists. They used to at least pretend it was about supply side economics or cutting taxes, but as it exists in its current form with Trump as the leader, it is going to be nonstop white…

I don’t know much about the politics or whatever of Vermont, but I do know that a lot of white people live there. For those more knowledgeable than me, do you think this has always been a part of his overall electoral strategy? I’m not trying to demonize Bernie and say his entire career exists because he is good at…

(White) Boomers enjoyed some of the largest public investments known to man in infrastructure, education, Social Security/Medicare, and workforce development that greatly improved mortality rates, while generating wealth and prosperity that will be passed down for generations. Then they decided they didn’t like paying…

Wow, I never knew that happened. Talk about a bullet dodged.

That’s the rub. Ironically, electing Democrats in more traditionally red places might make it more attractive for liberals to move to those places, especially as housing costs keep going up in places like California, which would make it easier to elect more Democrats. Personally, I’d be happier about being relocated…

The best analogy I’ve heard is that they’re raptors testing the fences

They think it gave them a boost in the midterms so it was all worth it, no matter the damage to Ford, other women, and the country at large.

To a depressingly large segment of the population, speaking out about sexual assault is worthy of more punishment than committing sexual assault when the perpetrator is a wealthy and powerful white man.

I don’t know how it works if a candidate has already conceded, but it might go to a recount https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/politics/political-pulse/os-ne-ron-desantis-andrew-gillum-recount-20181107-story.html

ESPECIALLY in a midterm year like this one

I’m admittedly out of the loop, did Bono do that?

No offense, but I hope you’re wrong. I’m obviously going to vote for whoever the Democrat is, but I would not be psyched to have to vote for Cuomo. Idk whats going to work in 2020, but I feel like after 4 years of Trump, Democrats won’t want to continue to be governed by an asshole. But who knows

I missed this- what did he say about Venezuela? The only thing I can find is DeSantis saying Gillum would turn Florida into Venezuela, which, lol. 

and California has legal weed and taco trucks on every corner!

I think there is a non-zero chance that DeSantis is a nightmare in office—even among some people that voted for him—and it works against the GOP in 2020.

I think its funny that her sign says “Pray to End Abortion” when their anti-choice stand is rooted in evangelical nonsense. Like, clearly God is on board with abortion if you have to pray for her to end it. What happened to the divine plan? I think God wants them to leave women the fuck alone and stop trying to…

Yeah, I’ve done this when buying movie passes at Costco. Those are kept in the back and I’d totally spaced on picking them up, and the receipt-checker asked if I’d gotten them and I hadn’t. It doesn’t add too much time for them to check, and I’d much rather have them catch it when I’m still at the store than having to…
