I liked this so much that I shared it on my Facebook last night to help keep encouraging my progressive friends to keep up the energy.

Woke up to my mother-in-law having posted this:

"Why in the world would anybody that lives in a free country want to go to socialism. That is not being free having the government take what you worked hard for and give it to someone else. The government run places like veterans Hospitals or Military Hospitals treat people terrible. I know I have family that liked to have died in one of those places. People in other countries that have social health care come to are country for health care because of the wait to have test run. But maybe you need someone to tell you what to do because you don't know how to get out and work and take care of yourself because that is what socialism is"

Note: my mother-in-law lives in rural Alabama and thinks Trump is great and that I hate Christians.

Tell her social security is socialism and ask her if she thinks of SS beneficiaries as slaves to a system

really?

booker was one of the prime opponents of that poo poo and he's signaling that he's changing his loving tune literally a month later

if he does change then he's a good dem, if he doesn't then he'll still be a bad dem

in case you haven't noticed trump is the loving president and i'll take whatever allies i can get, even if they were mother fuckers literally a month ago

I think the important thing is to get these people to flip and not become complacent in that. We need to keep holding them accountable. Bad dems do not have to be bad dem outcasts forever. Even if they are turning to save their own rear end (Schumer), so long as they continue following that change even if they don't believe it, I don't care what they truly believe in their heart of hearts.

Chuck Schumer may be a pragmatic opportunist, but I'm still going to consider him a good dem, even if he has a bad dem past because it what he does now that matters.

Saying this as a John Hodgman PC fanboy: people show as little critical thinking and give as much benefit of the doubt w/r/t Apple's design decisions as they do w/r/t the Democratic Party's competence and good intentions

I find your trust for politicians admirable but unfortunately we live in a world where money rules politics, and our elected officials consider money free speech.

Can't trust them in this system.

I'm enough of a brokebrained MS user that I used Windows Phone for far longer than I should have, and let me tell you, Nokia smartphone hardware was fantastic. The worst thing about WP's bungling, mismanagement, and ultimate demise is that I have to go back to using a Samsung device now.

My wife is still using a 2011 MBP and hoping to keep it alive as long as possible because yikes the new ones

She's probably buying a Surface Book when her current laptop finally croaks, but we're keeping it alive with hardware replacements because it's old enough of a MacBook that it's actually possible to do that. I think the new ones have soldered-on RAM, even.

That's why I say that we can't allow ourselves to become complacent the second a dem makes the turn from bad dem to good dem. Nonetheless, I don't believe bad dems can never be good dems

I never weighed in on Booker's apparent change of heart, but yeah I'm still wicked skeptical and I'm worried it's a cynical move to Boost His National-Level Profile For 2020

Booker 2020 makes me worry even more than Clinton 2020, because he'd probably win a primary

if he embraces progressivism consistently over the next 3 years i'd vote for him
