I hope Warren will do the right thing and also thank Ross Perot for his service (although she'll just be copying Bernie, like on every other issue)

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

That doesn't sound like a trap at all. Like do you think it was a "trap" all the other times he ran for office or declared he was spending big bucks on some issue?

By that standard every single other candidate engaged in the "trap" of discussing an important issue before announcing their candidacy.

Dude's going to get owned and I don't see how supporting Impeachment is some sort of trickery.

Wait when did Steyer run for office previously? He's talked about it forever but I don't recall him ever running for anything himself.

1: he threatened to multiple times but never went through with it.

2: yeah I understand, just wanted to throw a "gently caress Perot, too" in there for good measure while I was rib kicking billionaires.

Are there any ways to integrate schools other than busing

Technically, busing didn't work all that well either. It was too limited - white families simply fled districts with significant black populations, and migrated to suburbs in mostly-white districts. Redlining and other housing segregation tactics, as well as economic disparities between racial groups, effectively prevented black families from following them.

Since desegregation plans rarely crossed district boundaries, and the Supreme Court held that they couldn't be forced to do so, busing was essentially rendered moot by white flight.

It's this. Bernie's not perfect; he's a compromise candidate. This is mildly annoying, but no one outside of this thread and probably some of twitter actually cares.

Have to say this is a pretty good launch. Tells his personal story right off the bat. Guy speaks clearly and dynamically and in a compelling way. These are basically Bernie's blind spots and he's taking them head on. I'm under no illusion that he's a good candidate or that he has a real shot, but he knows what he's doing.

I rarely post in this thread, but liberals and leftists don't ever seem to want to talk about unconscious bias as it pertains to themselves, it's always something other people do.
