the cuomo plan only covers the difference between existing financial aid and total tuition

the biggest beneficiaries of his plan aren't poor students, who already get federal and state grants covering much of their tuition, but rather upper-middle-class students who don't get any aid and have to bear the full cost of tuition


lol if you think praise from Hillary makes anyone look good, especially now

literally no one is going to make "well, Hillary Clinton said Andrew Cuomo was a progressive just like Bernie" part of their decision process in 2020

Nobody cares except for y'all that Hillary tweeted something

Bernie actually being there, well that makes for good political ads

I don't see how Cuomo is going to get any real benefit out of being photographed with Bernie, since everyone who gives a poo poo about the Bern is a true progressive who only supports people with impeccable progressive credentials and won't be swayed by a photo-op

perhaps the left should spend more time preparing candidates for 2020 and less time preparing excuses

To clarify a bit, Bernie campaigned mostly on his own for Hillary. They didn't really coordinate with him at all. I can't imagine they wanted to. Much like how Obama only went on the stump in November, because that's when she asked. What I'm saying is Hillary ran a bad campaign.

Hillary actively hates people who dare to oppose her and when Bernie offered to campaign for her she went "sure, if you want, whatever" and never spoke to him again when she should have had him on stages with her holding each other's hand in the air

Hell, at the time of the Kaine pick my reaction was "I don't really care who the VP is" because I was in full-on don't-step-on-any-toes mode, but she probably should have at least asked Bernie if he wanted the spot and she did not

Hillary would have won, if she ran Bernie as VP, unfortunately Bernie has committed the grievous sin of opposing her, forever exiling him from the sacred circle.

Lol what are they going to do, hand all three branches to Republicans?

Edit: like lol if they were obstructionist as gently caress and blocked every nominee for the next four years I'd cheer them on. I loving hate the idea of obstructing government in this way but the Republicans did it when they had no right, may as well continue the tradition.

Playbook for a Democratic Comeback

The res­ults from the At­lanta sub­urbs of­fer Demo­crats a play­book for how to com­pete in the fu­ture—win over so­cially lib­er­al, fisc­ally con­ser­vat­ive voters who tra­di­tion­ally lined up with Re­pub­lic­ans. This would pair the di­verse Obama co­ali­tion with voters who have favored free mar­kets and a tough-minded for­eign policy. It would be a throw­back to the cent­rist policies of Bill Clin­ton, along with a full-throated em­brace of a di­ver­si­fy­ing Amer­ica. It would con­cede some of the white work­ing-class gains to Trump, while mak­ing an ag­gress­ive push to bring col­lege-edu­cated sub­urb­an­ites in­to the Demo­crat­ic fold.
