Uncle Wemus posted:What did he say Essentially Kennedy tried to primary Carter, a sitting president, lost, and his speech was full of side eye and some vague allusions to unity. He also refused to stand with Carter as a gesture of unity. Lanyard types trip over themselves saying the speech was VERY GOOD and IMPORTANT.

To be fair, Carter was neoliberal trash, while Teddy and the congressional dems supported a jobs guarantee and national health care.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), said: "Michael Harrington never believed that we could not do better and never stopped urging us to try harder. My memories of Michael are kaleidoscopic--a charming Irish politician working the floor at a Democratic convention, a thundering Old Testament prophet demanding that our country honor its promise to the poor and the weak, a worldly intellectual. . . . "Our nation is immensely richer because of his work," Kennedy added.

The SOTU response has usually been done by some sad sap that the establishment is pushing, and they usually fail miserably. Of course that's because the SOTU is usually given by a president with actual chops in oration that some back bencher can't really compete with, so maybe Kennedy will do well. Of course the buried lede here is that the democratic party still has a Kennedy in mothballs so lol

Yeah I can't think of a single time an SOTU response has been given by anyone that actually amounted to anything Rubio is probably the closest, which is worth a LOL in itself and yeah MA politics is MA politics

https://twitter.com/jacobinmag/status/956932574110199808quote:Left-wing proponents of Medicare for All shouldn’t hesitate to drive home how much money the average worker will save with a transition to single payer. But the moment we insist a policy is a social good on the basis of the benefits reaped by the business community, we’ve ceded the political goals of our project. Let’s say Medicare for All failed to save employers money: would this make the demand any less worthy? From a capitalist perspective, yes, but from a socialist perspective, of course not. quote:Even the most liberal business elites will seek to minimize the harm single-payer might inflict on profitability. If we let the liberal business elite come to appear as credible and trusted allies in this fight, they will undoubtedly try to shave down coverage, ease the tax burden on the wealthy, or implement means-testing in hard times. Not only would such concessions hurt the efficacy of a single-payer Medicare for All system, they would make the whole program more vulnerable to conservative sabotage. quote:Much of the work of single-payer organizing lies in convincing people they’re being duped and exploited by the rich. Because Medicare for All is a fairly clear-cut case of egregious, unnecessary exploitation that impacts hundreds of millions of people’s lives at the most intimate level, it’s well-suited for this necessary conversation about class interests and class enemies. It’s also the most popular and radical demand for large-scale decommodification we’ve seen in over a generation. Put it this way: at this moment in American history, single-payer requires class war, and class war requires single-payer. https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/922816418894270466

LolGary Condit Wiki posted:In 1988, Condit was a member of the "Gang of Five" – with Charles M. Calderon of Whittier, Gerald R. Eaves of Rialto, Rusty Areias of Los Banos and Steve Peace of Chula Vista which failed to unseat Willie Brown as Speaker of the California State Assembly, by making a deal with Republicans. Peace co-wrote and produced the 1988 film Return of the Killer Tomatoes, in which Condit appeared in an uncredited, nonspeaking cameo during a fight sequence.

i thought this detail was far more important quote:Because of the Levy scandal, Condit was portrayed on an episode of South Park, where he was considered responsible for the disappearance of Chandra Levy.
