Pro-life Democrats ran in Oklahoma all the time, and they all ate poo poo.

I mean if you're in Oklahoma and you're pro-life, why wouldn't you just vote for the Republican?

It's more important to stake out a position that's ideologically contrasted to the opposition, because at least then you have a chance of bringing people over to your side or of politically engaging people who feel unrepresented by all available parties. Constantly chasing after the center assuming that you'll get enough votes to win an election may work every now and then, but it's not a truly transformative politics. You just end up with seated Democrats who vote with Republicans 90% of the time.

seriously that nancy pelosi is still the top congressional democrat is ridiculous and she needs to go IMO! go go go. get out.

if this was a parliamentary system wouldn't she have been tossed by now? or years ago when the democrats got blown out of congress?

that's my contribution to the suck zone: pelosi bad.

I will be saying this until the day Nancy Pelosi gets thrown out, but if she's so good at whipping votes, why isn't she the MINORITY WHIP! That's like the entire job right in the title. How many people outside of the suck zone know who the democrat whip is? Not many.

Right now as the face of house democrats, she's doing more harm then good. Whoever holds that position needs to be able to do a good job of articulating what the gently caress democrats are about to the public. I don't go out of my way to praise Chuck Schumer but I think he's more effective in his role than Pelosi is in hers.

If it were a parliamentarian system we probably would have picked someone less bureaucrat-y and more candidate-y to be our party leader

She was chosen for the job she has to do, not the job she would have to do under different circumstances

If Pelosi gets tossed out, Steny Hoyer's next in line to be Leader anyway, so

Do you support the Fight for 15 campaign?

I do
, and I’ve been at numerous actions on behalf of of providing people a livable wage. I feel strongly that anyone who works a full-time job deserves the freedom to be able to stand on their own two feet.

Your first ad focused prominently on health care. Do you support single-payer health care?

I do.
I am convinced we need to move towards single-payer. It works every place else. There are improvements that need to be done with Obamacare, but to completely remove it and the protections that are in place, I see that as the wrong way to go.

What’s your position on abortion rights?

I am firmly committed that it is a woman’s choice to make decisions about what happens to her body.


And you support LGBT rights as well?

Absolutely.

It's also a good idea to have multiple, redundant data centers so that you can continue to provide service if something goes wrong at one of them or there's a weather emergency that takes it offline. For example, Amazon's US East cluster went offline earlier this year due to an employee making changes in the configuration that they shouldn't have, but the US West cluster was humming along all day.


Unless Ossoff was talking about getting rid of the massive facility the NSA built in Utah to store all our phone calls. We can probably get rid of that one.

Tell me why you decided to challenge Paul Ryan.

I’m a lifelong resident of Southeastern Wisconsin. I graduated from public schools, went into the Army after that. When I came back, I was diagnosed with cancer and I didn’t have insurance, and now it’s considered a preexisting condition. I worked sometimes two full-time jobs to make ends meet. Finally, I joined the union, the Ironworkers Union, which had an apprenticeship. I got my journeyman’s card and I’ve been doing that for 20 years now. As I drive through the district I can look and see, “I worked on that, I built that.” So literally I spent the last 20 years of my life building the district. Looking over at Paul Ryan, I’m wondering what he’s been doing.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.
