That can be a little insulting, but it's very frequently accurate- grassroots, non-media people are hardly immune to hypocrisy.

It's 2017. Teen Vogue, Marriam Webster, Charles Schumer (!?), Bernie Sanders, Mad Dog "Actually Sane" Mattis, and somehow the Freedom Caucus are the final, flimsy obstacles holding back Full Fascism, more or less incidentally.

what's that joke about "madam, we've already established what you are, we're just negotiating the price"? http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/03/the-left-not-the-right-saved-obamacare.html quote:The most telling statement about the bill’s defeat came from Senator Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican and an unexpected source of opposition. “There’s a widespread recognition that the federal government, Congress, has created the right for every American to have health care,” Cassidy told the New York Times. Seems like ACA was a major victory in shifting that Overton window

Speaking of healthcare in Louisiana - https://twitter.com/taniel/status/846515441002516480 Hard to know what to make of John Bel Edwards. He's done a lot of hosed up stuff but Medicaid expansion was a huge victory.

I honestly don't know how he finds the time, I've seen him every single time I've gone to a graduation. It's true. When I graduated grad school he spoke at both my ceremony and, I'm told, the undergrads the following day. Supposedly he does so every year, who knew.
