Exactly. Saying “ICE should be replaced by {new policy here}” is a winner. Just yelling “abolish ICE” is a slogan and will be a loser. But Democrats aren’t big on anything other than slogans.

Anecdotal info here, but a good friend of mine is a player in the health policy game in Massachusetts and has been told by several of the people who designed the ACA that is exactly what the plan was.
What the hell is a supermajority in House? And, no, the Dems are not going to win the Senate. They have to retain ALL 26 seats they currently own (and Heitkamp in N. Dakota and Nelson in Fl look like dead Senators walking at this point) and pickup 2 from the Repubs (which, if you take a look at the states they would…
At least the people you hate more than life itself have won elections. You’ve never won anything.
Bet you whoever did is a really big fan, though.
You mean so that the casualty count is kept acceptably low. This is the conservative dream-not a world where you don’t have to worry about some crazy person shooting up a theater/music festival/school/church/ medical clinic/workplace but a world where you can die in the first hail of bullets and rest in the knowledge…
The Democrats losing almost 20% of the state legislatures in 2010 is the source of our current gerrymandering problems. And the loss of all those Senate seats and Governorships has nothing to do with gerrymandering.
And Obama won the Presidency in 2008 and 2012. This also happened:
Whatever ones you need to keep up this stunning record of electoral fecklessness they’ve created.
She needs to stay right where she is so trends like this one can continue far into the future.
She can’t win. That’s the problem. Under the leadership of Pelosi, Schumer, Wasserman-Schultz, and Obama, the Democratic party has been rendered impotent as any sort of effective national force.
You’re right. Absolutely nothing needs to change as things have been going really well up to now.
As a person with Southern roots and family, I admire the, well, civility of that response.
She is more worried about the very sensible way forward that Ocasio-Cortez herself has suggested (and has been used very successfully by the Right to bring us to the point where we are now): run Doug Jones in Alabama but where you can, in deep blue states/districts, go as hard left as you can. You show a nation a…
Oh, we are all well and truly fucked. And since most of your life is behind you now- I can only assume that you had a ringside seat at the three decade long hollowing out of the Democratic party into the ghost it is now. You and the Clintons won’t have to live with the results of your decimation of the Democrats and…
Yeah-it’s all the fault of those dirty hippies and not at all the fault of one of the most inept campaigns in American history.
“Let us pause here for a moment and give thanks once again to those brave voices of The Left who would not be cowed by the extortionate pleadings of Hillary Rodham Clinton...
Yeah, it’s all his fault. Certainly wouldn’t have anything to do with the Clinton campaign being so overconfident they were spending resources in deep red states instead of firewall states were she had already lost the primary. Nothing gives the okay to people that don’t really want to be voting for you anyway to go…
That and stories coming out of the Clinton campaign about how they’ve got this whole thing so locked up that they can make a play in Texas (instead of, say, Wisconsin-were she lost the fucking primary.) Real good move telling an electorate that would already have to be holding their nose to vote for you that they…
