Or to firms that their illicit lovers work for!

Centrist didn’t free slaves, give women the right to vote, or enact civil rights, but they also didn’t create Jim Crow, redlining, or voter suppression.

Counterpoint, complacency would be being happy with the status quo.  I’m not.  I just don’t want the fringe lunatics at the edge of the party driving policy forward.

I only think it’s futile in districts/states that aren’t deep blue. In deep blue districts, the Justice Democrats absolutely can make some headway.

I was really channeling my inner Ari Gold this morning.

Trump sucks, no doubt, but the tale your weaving in the last 3 sentences reads like something that even Rachel Maddow would arch an eyebrow at dude.

If they had a typical primary structure and if they had worked to winnow down the candidates and if they had trotted out someone stronger than a Kevin freakin’ de Leon to be the main challenger, Feinstein’s gone, without question.

Funny thing is Manchin isn’t even on that list.  

Let’s run down that list:

As The Hill also noted, Biden already has the public endorsements of five senators—perhaps useful for progressive organizers thinking about candidates ripe for a primary challenge!

At the time, our corporate tax rates were pretty healthy, and even now at their reduced levels when you look across the globe, they remain healthy.

I know all about Delaware. Problem with that theory is that it simply doesn’t hold water.

A bit of a tangent here.

I used to love the last scene of fight club. Then I saw the sort of failover redundancy that even tiny banks have and I imagined the American Express C-suite hearing the news that their corporate headquarters were gone and thinking “Since insurance is paying for it I can finally justify the gold plated toilet! Sweet!”…

It’s true that homelessness is a huge, systemic problem which needs to be addressed by all levels of government working together.

It’s a great example of how that statement is true regardless of the merits of the policy.

Very true, but that doesn’t change the fact that if you want to do big, extraordinary things in America you need it.

The point isn’t to generate a coherent line of questions here. Very few Congressional committee meetings like this one are. The demarcation is whether or not there will be a sizeable captive audience.

Disagree. Tribalism as an animating force is definitely American. This is what a not insignificant chunk of people want.

Oh now calm down you’ll be alright.  Unlike your performative bar reading or the ogres who will hit on anything with tits and a pulse, I’m happy to keep my observations to myself when out in the wild.
