Joel Stein is, ostensibly, a humorist. It's not exactly a hard-hitting sendup of Democrats' tendency to compromise themselves, though.

I got it

We impeach Trump -and- make him VP of the democratic party to show our faith in the system and how we are above partisanship

Then the GOP impeaches the president and he's in charge again but the slate's been washed clean

Since we've been on a Bernie-Warren kick, I just want to say that everyone who supports Bernie here on SA needs to volunteer for him starting now. I was someone who loved his politics in 2016 but knew he was a long shot so all I did was donate and shitpost. This time around things are both easier and tougher for him. Easier in the sense that basically everyone knows who he is and he has a stronger, more diverse working class base of support. Tougher in the sense that almost everyone running against him is co-opting his rhetoric and policies, and he doesn't have the appeal of just being a protest vote. And the ruling class knows he isn't messing around this time.

I know it can be awkward to make your first few phone calls or knock on your first few doors. But like anything else it's easier the more you do it. You won't win everybody over, but you will find people who support him, and just by talking to them you can persuade them to volunteer too. And amazingly I've run across a few people who liked him but had no idea he was running again. So that's a few more voters and a few more volunteers, little by little. And the hope is that everyone pitching in a little will be enough collectively for him to win. Donating is good but at least for the moment he seems to be in a good spot moneywise. He can basically never have too many volunteers given what a gargantuan task this is.

Even if you don't live in an early state (IA, NH, NV, SC) you can still call or text people in those states to try and get them out to the polls or to a campaign event, strike, etc. I don't think we'll have another chance like this for awhile so we have to put in as much effort as we can now. And we can't sit back and hope other people will do the work for us.

This. It can be intimidating at first but it feels a lot better and is more productive than getting mad at lame blue checkmark libs. Everyone reading this, put in as much time as you can.

Wall Street Democratic donors warn the party: We�ll sit out, or back Trump, if you nominate Elizabeth Warren
PUBLISHED THU, SEP 26 2019 12:40 PM EDT UPDATED 5 HOURS AGO
Brian Schwartz
@SCHWARTZBCNBC

Democratic donors on Wall Street and in big business are preparing to sit out the presidential campaign fundraising cycle � or even back President Donald Trump � if Sen. Elizabeth Warren wins the party�s nomination.

In recent weeks, CNBC spoke to several high-dollar Democratic donors and fundraisers in the business community and found that this opinion was becoming widely shared as Warren, an outspoken critic of big banks and corporations, gains momentum against Joe Biden in the 2020 race.

�You�re in a box because you�re a Democrat and you�re thinking, �I want to help the party, but she�s going to hurt me, so I�m going to help President Trump,�� said a senior private equity executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity in fear of retribution by party leaders. The executive said this Wednesday, a day after Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House would begin a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump.

During the campaign, Warren has put out multiple plans intended to curb the influence of Wall Street, including a wealth tax. In July, she released a proposal that would make private equity firms responsible for debts and pension obligations of companies they buy. Trump, meanwhile, has given wealthy business leaders a helping hand with a major corporate tax cut and by eliminating regulations.

Warren has sworn off taking part in big money fundraisers for the 2020 presidential primary. She has also promised to not take donations from special interest groups. She finished raising at least $19 million in the second quarter mainly through small-dollar donors. The third quarter ends Monday.

Trump, has been raising hundreds of millions of dollars, putting any eventual 2020 rival in a bind as about 20 Democrats vie for their party�s nomination.

Trump�s campaign and the Republican National Committee have raised over $100 million in the second quarter. A large portion of that haul came from wealthy donors who gave to their joint fundraising committee, Trump Victory. In August, the RNC raised just over $23 million and has $53 million on hand.

The Democratic National Committee have struggled to keep up. The DNC finished August bringing in $7.9 million and has $7.2 million in debt.

Biden, who has courted and garnered the support of various wealthy donors, has started to lag in some polls. The latest Quinnipiac poll has Warren virtually tied with the former vice president. Biden was one of three contenders that saw an influx of contributions from those on Wall Street in the second quarter.

A spokeswoman for the senator from Massachusetts declined to comment.

The business community�s unease about Warren�s candidacy has surged in tandem with her campaign�s momentum. CNBC�s Jim Cramer said earlier this month that he�s heard from Wall Street executives that they believe Warren has �got to be stopped.� Warren later tweeted her response to Cramer�s report: �I�m Elizabeth Warren and I approve this message.�

Some big bank executives and hedge fund managers have been stunned by Warren�s ascent, and they are primed to resist her.

�They will not support her. It would be like shutting down their industry,� an executive at one of the nation�s largest banks told CNBC, also speaking on condition of anonymity. This person said Warren�s policies could be worse for Wall Street than those of President Barack Obama, who signed the Dodd-Frank bank regulation bill in the wake of the 2008 financial meltdown.

Yet before Obama was elected, his campaign took over $1 million from employees at Goldman Sachs, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

A hedge fund executive pointed to Trump�s tax cut as a reason why his colleagues would not contribute or vote for Warren if she wins the nomination.

�I think if she can show that the tax code of 2017 was basically nonsense and only helped corporations, Wall Street would not like the public thinking about that,� this executive said, also insisting on anonymity.
