Yeah, but the polling was wrong. His final results were awful, he would have lost either way.

I would have rather had him lose the other way, mind

If you aren't interested in fixing our disgusting and predatory medical system (and access to care is not doing anything), you have no business leading the party. It's really that simple since if the President can't use their position to advocate for it, it will not happen by itself. Saying "it's not the right time" or whatever is the cowardly way of saying you have no intention of ever supporting it until all the work is done by someone else like how the Democrats we're dragged to supporting gay marriage by the log cabin Republicans and courts.

that guy was wrong and the school board remains in republican control. the dems won 4 out of 7 seats available for election but there's 15 overall so :shrug:

Before MLK Jr, Malcolm X, et. al started seriously embarrassing the country internationally about de jure segregation well meaning liberals all supported "civil rights," but lamentably the country was not ready for it yet.


Hell, liberals eating from from the identity politics dumpster should take note that as recently as 10 years ago many well meaning centrists were saying this country wasn't ready for a black president and Obama was going to lose due to the Bradley effect.

I'm trying to figure out what to do for North Carolina. I blew up last night in a post because the only positive thing that happened was our R super-majority in the state senate broke. Both houses are still R controlled with a D governor, so now if Cooper vetoes something, it stays dead.

Unfortunately, 4 of our 6 amendment proposals passed (protecting fish & wildlife, Marsey's law, 7% income tax cap, and voter ID). We already went through the voter ID crap before and it was struck down, but now we have more conservative judges and a more conservative Supreme Court. I know there were major victories elsewhere, but I'm too depressed about my state to celebrate.

Gotta take the good where you can get it, man.

Again, no one is talking about M4A happening in the near future. It's only going to happen within our lifetimes if we all start demanding it now, though.

And her only issue was saying it won't play well in the midwest, and the results of progressives running on it and winning have been lackluster. So far the biggest progressive victories have been the results of primarying out old stale dems in safe districts, not winning head to head with the GOP. Beto and Gillium did really well though so, that runs counter to her argument.

I do not for one second think Duckworth would stop any kind of groundswell for M4A.

Obviously it would be better if he lost by less. But if he was destined to lose then I'm glad we can make a lesson out of him. Same with McCaskill.

Which is a bullshit claim, plain and simple. When M4A polls as well as it does across the board in the U.S., it's not going to poll badly in the Midwest.

quote:

The Democrats don't need someone who won't stand in the way of progress. They need someone who will champion it. At this point, Duckworth hasn't shown herself to be up to the task.

When was the last time you could vote for a democratic male cis white man for president? Kerry in 2004? Not complaining, but it's bound to happen again sooner or later.

Anyway, my preference is literally that AOC to run for pres, but she is too young :( hope the momentum can carry to 2024 and that the lobbyists don't get to her first.
