Great stuff

quote:

For that matter, where’s that sexy vote-rich crowd of people who are hell-bent on making sure banks have easier stress tests, and don’t have to increase their capital reserves? Where’s the mob that really wants to preserve the payroll-tax cutoff for high-income earners? That wants desperately to remove Malaysia from a list of human traffickers so it can join a free-trade pact?

There are no such people. These are not human positions. These are the positions of health insurers, pharmaceutical companies, job-exporting manufacturers, defense contractors and other high-dollar donors.

Nobody sits around the dinner table demanding that we keep derivative exchanges opaque, or retain the carried-interest tax break. You’re not winning independents with those positions. You’re just stroking a few lobbyists and their clients.

Look, it's just SO HARD for him to fill out some paperwork and pretend to run for dogcatcher. Won't you think of the effort you're forcing Joe Crowley to expend?

The lanyards having a laugh at AOC for being worried he's going to spoil the race are probably the exact same people who blame the failure of the public option on Lieberman while also being glad that the democrats rewarded him for losing his primary.

they'll easily and quickly transition to "she shouldn't be afraid of a little competition!"

oh, also "what's good for the goose is good for the gander"

if you're wondering how they can try to say that with a straight face, they are basically saying that since jill stein ran and "cost hillary the presidency" it's totally cool for crowley to run as an independent after losing the primary.

Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

Like Jesus, candy, and crackerjacks! Ice cream and cake and lots o'laffs!
Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Joe! Larry, Curly, and brother Moe!

what the gently caress is "honestly believe to be election fraud" supposed to mean? has anyone who used this method, dumb as it is, to get off the WFP ballot line been prosecuted for it? is there any reading of NY election law by which this would actually be illegal?
