Democrats have chosen who they want to be their new leaders. Frigging John Kasich is gonna be a speaker.. Anna Navarro...Pete Buttigieg...

They're lucky Trump is in office...

Corporate establishment :pokecrap:

I think she supports it in the way Obama supported a public option--it's what she'd like ideally, but if she can't get it, she'll take what she can get. Some people call that caving, but I view it as being an effective public official--when dreams run into reality, it's good to keep advocating for the dream, but it's also important to take the Obamacare you can actually get.

In some ways, Sanders not winning the nomination might be the best thing for Sanders and his most ardent supporters (and I say this as someone who preferred Sanders to Biden)...they'll never have to see him give in on his priorities because Congress won't pass them. I want the Sanders agenda, but I always understood that the Sanders agenda can't pass a Congress who's median is to the right of even Joe Biden's agenda. I think a lot of Democrats want things that aren't politically feasible...you can either "stand strong" and get nothing or compromise on the vision and keep moving things in the right direction, even if only incrementally. Obamacare was pilloried by liberals when it happened, but it's moved the Overton Window on health care--with Obamacare now the status quo, an outright majority of the American public believes that universal access to health care is a reasonable right. That was never the case prior to Obamacare. So did Obama betray the left by helping to push through a bill that didn't even have a public option (which he advocated for when campaigning) or has he done the left and America a big service? You can look at it either way, but I'm firmly in the camp of getting as much done as possible even if that falls short of what we'd ideally want.

Obama never wanted to pass a public option. That was lip service from the beginning. He's sold that down the river just like he did many other things we wanted...
 
She did well in her speech, but she speaks through her nose?

No kidding. That's almost like saying Brett Kavinaugh still does crazy things like the ones he was purported to do in his late-teens and early-20's.

The things Kavanaugh purported to do were not purported. Kavanaugh himself admitted to being a heavy beer drinker in his youth. What do you think high school kids do when they get drunk on beer, act like angels?

I'm sure a black woman candidate scares you non voters almost as much as a black woman candidate with a libido......cucks don't vote anyway....not voting nullifies any political posturing in my view....when you have problems with Trump's bimbo parade of Epstein hostages you can talk about someone 55 years old who had consensual sex with another adult in all your horror.....right..Harris didn't have to pay off her lovers...no fucking news reel here prez....you're flailing for orange makeup again and it's staining your shorts!

Look, riverman, I don't what you to hold anything back. Get bold, tell it like it is, dammit.
 
I didn't know this until two days ago. When Hubert Humphrey ran for president in 1968, Lyndon Johnson suggested he pick Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye as his running mate. Humphrey thought the country wasn't ready to elect an Asian American vice president. Maybe we finally are

Bonus points to anyone who can name Humphrey's VP choice. For the life of me I can't remember.

Boy, imagine having a president that mispronounces names on a regular basis. how embarrassing would that be?

The implication here is how CNN had skewered (across the board) Carlson just the night before. Calling him a bigot, racist, massively disrespectful, or otherwise. Personally, I have no problem with the mispronunciations.....by Biden, or otherwise. This was all about timing.
 
Mispronouncing the name isn't what makes him a bigot... his reaction to being corrected is. Saying Kamala wrong? Big fucking deal! Acting like an snide, arrogant asshole while being corrected--numerous times, mind you--however, does.
