Hence why Trump et al, are about 3 months from dusting off the ol’ “The DNC is rigging it against Bernie” tropes to divide the opposition. 

always great when I can share my work, this is the full list of flipped seats from Red to Blue based on caucus, There were 10 Progressive Caucus flips, but 30 NDCs flipped their seats in places like Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah

We need to cut our world leading and horrifically bloated military budget in half.

Posted this before in talking about Doug Jones, but Tester made my screen cap so it works here too

I’m kind of hoping Sanders and Biden take each other out in the debates opening up room for the younger contenders. 

Nearly all the elements of the ACA are broadly popular and were prior to implementation-- the problem is that facts don’t matter and people didn’t really believe it until they were personally confronted with said facts and the possibility of losing access to the  benefits they now have. 

The continued characterization of Tester as in line with Manchin is a pretty perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with some on the left in terms of group-think and ignoring nuance— the man’s literally what this site and others have been asking for in terms of a normal person who stepped up and ran for office— he’s…

Polling Latino voters, in general, is difficult (see Nevada). Plus, they’re a demographic where turnout versus support can be worlds apart.

Well those moderate Democrats you dismiss so easily are just stating the obvious - it was the centrists policies that flipped the House for Dems.

Yeah, black voters want nothing to do with his ass. Cue Splinter’s endless articles on Low information voters.

I honestly, without hyperbole, do not understand the mental gymnastics of the GOP party at all anymore. “We’d rather be a Russian than a Democrat”, but “Socialism is Evil, like the... Russians?!”. “We’re the puritanical protestant party”, but “we’re cool with sinners”. “We’re the fiscally conservative party”, but “We…

I like Bernie well enough and I would certainly vote for him in the general of course, but this really would be a serious issue for him. Bernie has never been faced with full throated opposition in ANY election. The Clinton campaign, while maybe doing some shady shit behind the scenes, were very careful not to attack…

Bernie wouldn’t lose the general election because he’s a socialist, but because he’s a bad candidate. Black and brown voters won’t bother with him (and yes, I know polls show he’s popular among Latino voters, but I don’t buy it), so he won’t win the nomination. And he’s just so damn unlikable, he’d probably be…

“Socialist” programs are incredibly popular with a majority of Americans nationwide.

Bernie isn’t winning the nomination anyway, so we’ll never get to see what happens if Republican senators get their wish.

lol

thinks about What the People Want.

in the past, when I’ve said exactly what you have here, I’ve been told that teachers are “entitled.”

Three things to note for anyone who might think DeVos has a point relative to “adult time”:

1.) I know of few—if any—dedicated educators who work a forty-hour week. At the college level, hours can vary depending upon course/research load, but the average for a teaching professor at my institution is around 50 during…
