Thanks for the links! I think I was just on snark overload from too much Jez/Splinter and I was seeing it where it wasnt

There aren’t on-the-fence voters. We need to stop this narrative. Right now there are people willing to put up with Trump and those that aren’t. Dems do better when they hold to their values rather than flirt with the other side.

Look, I think (god, I hope, after last time) that the majority of voters on the left will hold their nose and vote for Biden or Harris or whatever centrist if they get the nomination -- but why does that NEVER seem to go both ways? I’m not a huge fan of Bernie either, but if he gets the nomination, I’m holding my nose…

whats it like to be so smaaaaatttrrrr?

Biden or Harris...LOL the two most entrenched of the front-runners....I like how you proceed to list such bad options. We can beat Trump, with Warren or even Sanders. What doesn’t help is this kind of crap where we are yet again being pushed to choose to vote for the “best” option of beating the fat orange man.…

One night a few months ago, after a horrible Trump day, I watched an interview with Warren, and was left with such a sense of calm afterward. I really think a calm woman with a plan is the perfect opponent to take on Trump. In addition to this great news, Slate declared her the “winner of the Iowa State Fair”.

I have a personal experience with these clinics-they are absolutely hateful with the rhetoric they spew.

No, I think it was fairly even handed. If you want snarky, look at the Splinter article.

Agreed.

Warren is making good choices. Repairing her relationship with indigenous peoples by proposing policies to benefit them and apologizing for her earlier missteps. She’s acting like the emerging front runner that she is.

The issue isn’t so much that they’re advertising their services as it’s that they are often purposely vague/unclear on what services they actually provide until they succeed in getting a client inside their building for an appointment. Many don’t make it clear that they don’t provide abortions (and in many cases, any…

Um. HCG also appears in cases of germ cell tumors, molar pregnancies, and all kinds of other horrifying things that can kill you. It’s literally a tumor marker in some cases.

Everything about CPCs makes me furious. One of them started sending a bus equipped with an ultrasound machine and pregnancy tests to my town, so I wrote an article for the local paper about it — making it clear that they can’t offer actual affordable medical services and will refuse to refer you to places like Planned…

When a nurse testifies to the bullshittery going on:

We should all be like this dog

If your cause is just, you don’t have to cheat or lie. You don’t have to resort to trickery or manipulation, if you are doing the right thing.

I’m looking for something cheerful, I swear! 

Our country is terrible right now. The racism, the meanness and foolishness of our government, the caging of children, all the mass shootings. Plus it’s August and we’re all melting. Not to mention the climate. Epstein. Weinstein. Endangered species. It’s awful out there and this news fits right in. I'm taking the…

Never let them say that shit without questioning what, EXACTLY, it is about Trump that bothers them so much that they just need it to be OVER.

Can’t be the history of segregatonism.
Can’t be the molestation.
Can’t be the giveaways to the rich over the poor.
Can’t be the slashing the social safety net.
Can’t be not packing…

I keep reminding myself that he repeatedly fails at getting the nomination when he runs. The longer he keeps on doing his Biden thing, the higher the likelihood that the Obama glow wears off.

Warren’s steady rise in the polls is giving me hope.
