I think he'd endorse Warren rather than running against her but I fully admit my Warren opinion is heavily affected by MA homerism

Warren has never expressed any interest in running.

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.

"Bernie is too old" is really stupid when 90% of his popularity comes from him being an old curmudgeon who hasn't changed his stance, or his hair, in 40 years.

the thing is, if she had she would have won

both the primary (because Bernie wouldn't have run if she had and she could have beaten the pantsuit off Hillary) and the general

so I admit this scenario depends on a lot of pressure being put on her to run which doesn't currently exist but she's still the best choice IMO

As someone who worked for Amazon for a while this is absolutely the case. I'm surprised they're allowed to have phones on them. At my warehouse if you forgot to leave your phone in the car you'd get hit going through security to lunch/break. They'd take your phone and go through it to make sure you didn't steal it from there. (In over a year I nor anyone I worked with even saw a cellphone being packaged for shipping lmao)

they didnt actually think you stole the phones :shh: they're comin right for us!

Dems strategy is to fix healthcare in such a way that a Republican majority Congress and Republican President will sign it.

Expanding the Blue Dogs is the way to get that done next year. They don't actually plan to re-take the chamber.

Humanitarian centrism. I know foreign policy is like the thing most americans care about the least but any democratic primary that doesn't address the grip the Washington consensus has is going to lead to some incredibly hosed up poo poo even if Hillary "Nuke Tehran" Clinton isn't the one running, and want it or not, US foreign policy has knock on effects on some of the terrible poo poo that happens domestically. Imperial centers have a deep rot basically. Basically primary Schumer even if he bends the knee.

Clinton's problem wasn't "centrism." It was her celebrity-stocked campaign and personal corruption, as well as the related sense of her being an out-of-touch coastal elite.

A fiscally responsible, socially conservative Democrat with a down-home demeanor and squeaky clean personal finances would have dominated Trump. These are the kind of folks Democrats need to field in 2018 if they're gonna take back the House. Newsflash: it's a conservative country.

The Republicans are desperately trying to make "single payer" stick to the Democrats but despite that being a position that is popular among the electorate the Dems refuse to take that up and instead want to help the republicans dismantle the ACA. They just want to be nicer about it.
