The pending judgment from the Supreme Court is awful. But anti-abortion activists fought for 50 years to overturn Roe, pressuring Republicans and Democrats, creating the Federalist Society to ensure there would be a pool of jurists to appoint to the highest courts in the land to roll back women’s basic human rights,…

1) They have a bare majority

During the run up to the 2016 election, this VERY WEBSITE ran what amounted to a smear campaign against HRC because she wasn’t pure enough. I encountered loads of Stein voters in the comments who screeched about how shitty HRC was and how she and Cheetolini were “the same”. I still encounter people here who claim she…

I agree though, that Democrats should take a page from the Republican playbook.

TLDR: Their strategy basically seems to be “We just need to be cooperative and not do anything until we have more votes.”

Lose it, then, Elie.

As I tried to tell a number of people last week, don’t.

I mean... aren't you kind of blaming voters for not voting for a shitty candidate?  Because Hillary was the Democratic nominee in 2016 because she got substantially more votes than other contenders for the nomination.

Not to mention this majority lasted for all of 72 days. ACA that this writer now sneers at, was also widely popular. Yet it took all the democratic political capital available at the time to pass it. I am only a couple of years older than this writer. But the very online young lefty crowd are embarrassingly ignorant…

It expanded access to Medicaid for tens of millions of Americans 

Being upset about a political party trying to do an impossible thing that would have ALWAYS been impossible to do REGARDLESS of when they did or did not try to do so is a massive waste of energy.

Wait....you do realize that even in 2009-2010 this would have taken 60 votes-- something which necessitated ACA compromises (for example jettisoning the public option to get Lieberman on board). In 2009-2010 there were substantially more anti choice Dem Senators than there are now (2 Manchin and Casey).

Helped quite a bit = largest expansion of social safety net in a half century.

That really was a stunning piece of shill work, wasn’t it? I wonder if/how much Turner’s camp paid for it. 

He’s not over her getting his job.

They hate Democrats. That’s it. It’s not about policies. It never was.

No one condoned violence and did you even read the article? Jaleel White threatened to physically attack a woman over an disagreement because he couldn’t get his way. Jo Marie Peyton has a right to defend herself if someone threatens to fight her. Where is all this energy in condemning Jaleel White for his…

One mo time: SHOW ME SOME LEGISLATION THAT ONE OF YOUR PROGRESSIVE FAVES HAS WRITTEN. Try Lauren Underwood. She gets shit done unlike Always On Camera and Cori “Oreo Eater” Bush

See Nina when you don’t speak to black voters and surround yourself with nothing but white fake ass progressive Cos play socialist brats this is what you get. HELLO SOMEBODY!!!!

I consider my self pretty progressive and I don’t get all these people giving Shontel Brown a hard time. She seems progressive to me considering the average corporate Democrat, just looking at her House votes she voted for every single progressive cause! I don’t know what people want at this point.
