Nina Turner or Rashida Tlaib. Preferably Turner since we probably can't spare a single drat vote in either chamber.

Ytlaya posted:I've said before that if not for the stupidity and paranoia of the rich, it would be remarkably easy to defang the left by just flat-out lying about support for left-wing ideas and blaming everything on the Republicans. But they can't help but be untrustworthy to an extent even normal people can notice. they're worried that if the ideas are legitimized then the proles might start organizing to put in people who will implement them this is exactly what we saw with obama and sanders. obama couldn't get poo poo done so now a major wing of the party is laser focused on someone they trust to fight for them its much safer to nip that poo poo in the bud its also kind of the inverse of the changes in the republican party. the donor class wanted their politicians to stop compromising and be more hardline so they orchestrated the tea party to ensure only people who will unquestionably submit to their will got elected

The Pussy Boss posted:Mayor Pete is a sociopath who has no problem stepping on people to advance himself. The idea of him being president is scary as gently caress. Like I can totally see him starting a few wars if it was politically advantageous. Pete wants to become president so he can secure a steady stream of people to torture consequence-free. Every day Pete will walk into a sound-proof room and position secret service guards outside with the orders to let no one enter. For his entire life, causing pain to others is the only thing that's been able to make Pete feel something. You can't blame him for taking measures to secure happiness in the only way he knows how.

Al! posted:i mean im not even kidding what she described is just renaming medicaid and having the federal government administer it instead of the states. sure, it's good because the states administering it means basically that chud states don't give anyone medicaid but it is so loving incremental it hurts (and literally kills) thanks to the ACA, medicaid's been turned into a "public/private partnership" and led to record profits of private insurers hired to administer it). Bernie's M4A legislation has all of the good things (no costs) without the bad things (private insurers' profits).

Shes too focus tested and cowardly to do anything. She tried it once only because it had been written in advanced, focus grouped, t-shirts were made, and all she had to do was say the lines. When she tried it again it failed so she'll just never try again.

Who's "we" here? "Natural Born Citizen" is one of those terms where the wonks act like it's hard to figure out, but a two part test of "Are you a citizen? (Yes)" and "Were you naturalized? (No)" just about covers it. The birther thing with Obama was especially funny because nobody was questioning his mother being American and, well, even if he was born in Kenya you can't really argue citizenship.

The rationale for the natural born citizen clause is pretty funny in retrospect. http://www.legalaffairs.org/issues/March-April-2004/argument_amar_marpar04.msp quote:Why, then, did the generally pro-immigrant founders include a provision in the Constitution that would exclude immigrants from the presidency? The rule seems anti-egalitarian if one imagines a poor boy coming to America and rising through the political system by dint of his own sweat and virtue only to find himself barred at the top. But in 1787, the more plausible scenario was that a foreign earl or duke would cross the Atlantic with immense wealth and a vast retinue and use his European riches to buy friends and power on a scale that virtually no American could match. No such grandees had yet come to our shores, but it made sense to anticipate all the ways that European aristocracy might one day try to pervert American democracy.
