ex post facho posted:well, except that he'll probably be opposed by the dccc knowing them they'll tell him to appeal to republicans for the primary so I'm not sure if that will do anything. also "is backed by the org that lost both parts of congress" sounds like a good flame.

Concerned Citizen posted:democratic supermajority != progressive supermajority. it's that simple. it's not a grand plan, it's just that too many legislators don't want to pass it. in this case it only takes a few. then let them out themselves.

anime was right posted:see i mean if politics was actually chess or whatever, this is how you do it. go to the extreme, then let the stragglers in your party make a positive concession so it sounds like every part of the party wins It sounds like a good potential optics win for the democrats. The republicans gently caress up with their abomination of a bill, Chuck and Bernie step up with a bill that acknowledges that ACA needs more work, takes a concrete,written down step to improve it then shout it to everyone who was/is/will be shook up and scared by ACHA to push a 2018 sweep. The left (me included) would grumble, but at least the dems compromised towards the left for once and that would be a nice signal.

ate poo poo on live tv posted:Trump's twitter game is on-point, and he isn't the one that "melts-down." He is using the bully pulpit quite effectively, and if Obama was half as engaging with the media etc, the ACA would be a much better piece of legislation. The real crime of decorum is that it made people forget that the bully pulpit can be used by anyone political which is why you have things like pelosi telling the most active parts of the party to gently caress off then her croneys asking why what she says matters

I like how trump has accidently exploited the fact that if you make fun of the media they drop everything to defend themselves. trumps only taken advantage of it by accident imagine how great it'll be when someone who doesn't have holes in their head exploits it

Frijolero posted:There's some real progress in $15/hr and single-payer support on behalf of the Dems, but will they hammer it enough to turn out the vote? biggest factor is if the dems on a federal level can shut the hell up. Nothing good will come from them as everything they say will make people assume that the down ballot candidates hold similar views which might not be the case.

steinrokkan posted:It takes certain political courage rather than passiveness, imho, to defy advisers and let a crisis situation develop in a way that is clearly unpopular - as the Joint Chiefs endorsed war. According to all evidence, JFK and Bobby also did a lot to personally facilitate the exchange of communication between the White House, the Russian embassy, and Moscow. didnt follow it up by firing all the generals who advocated for nuclear war, typical centrists waffling
