It’s true, they could attempt to do that, though I also wouldn’t be shocked in there are additional provisions not listed here that mean they couldn’t (if this provision existed in the context of Splinter) make the job offer for a senior writer in New York be cleaning toilets at Univision’s studios in Mexico City.

And in the context of the SEIU, that’s also a tough provision, seeing as the SEIU is funded by portions of member dues from SEIU members. Last I checked, the SEIU had lost a few members over the years.

But, in the context of this site, which is a part of an industry that’s drastically reducing in size because the times have changed and Facebook, Google and others have very effectively siphoned off a good portion of their revenue meaning that the biggest cost centers of the organization have to shrink, that’s…

IF I HAD KNOWN THAT WAS EVEN A POSSIBILITY I WOULD HAVE TRIED TO GET THAT IN MY OWN DAMN CONTRACT.

The case was a mess, which is why it was dumped. The facts, less so.

To the extent you’re talking about a strategy to win in the next few elections or so and you just want to ignore the old “Blue Wall” and go through the South, any conversation about the South that doesn’t involve Texas is a conversation that could be ended with a list of how many EC votes each state gets and a 3rd…

No, but people who pretend that I say “we should do nothing” when I say “we should mitigate climate change” are either disingenuous or stupid.  

This has always been and continues to be a comparison that makes the person offering it look like a moron.

It’s probably because I’m sexist, right?

Nope, that’s not what I said.  I clearly indicated it needed to be mitigated, but the GND is not policy based in science.

That’s either a dinsingenous or stupid reading of my comment.  Climate change needs to be mitigated.  The GND isn’t the way to do that though.

I think the M4A advocates are deliberately choosing to envision the public option as a barebones high premium, high deductible, low co-pay percentage plan.

Not only that, if you look at polling, healthcare polling is very much like polling about Congressional approval where the general gist of polling results could be interpreted as a majority of people thinking “Well, yeah, Congress sucks, but my guy is cool ”.

The hurdle then becomes convincing the public to take that leap of faith into single-payer’s arms

You can be, but if I can use a Twitter account with 6 followers as cover to try to indirectly argue that you shouldn’t be, I’m going to.

Okurrrrrrr!

Science shouldn’t be partisan. Climate change is indisputably real, caused by man and needs to be mitigated.

The future of the Democratic Party could easily lie in mobilizing southern black voters.

This is a tweet from a guy who has six followers that has gathered *checks twitter* 1500 likes.

I’d be all for letting racist white folks in the Rust Belt slowly drift away into the dust bin of history too, but I’m not sure you can retake enough of the “Blue Wall” states to win in the next decade or so without reversing the erosion of blue collar Democrat votes in 3 or 4 of those states. They were the ones who’s…
