Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

Ro Khanna continues to be good despite all the moaning by cc and zegermans.
I was realllllly skeptical about him, largely because of the big tech lobby shine(I believe Alphabet was his biggest donor), but that ain't half bad. I'd be curious to hear if those economic issues he is talking about are just the concerns of upper middle class tech workers.

Clinton's "I'm a Progressive who likes to get things done" is basically "I'm a liberal who will reach bipartisan consensus and pass means-tested bullshit."
The left has has gotten obliterated in the battle to control and frame words and their meaning for so long that you would think it was their loving job. The only time in recent memory that they have been able to successfully frame a policy or concept in an advantageous way was the "99% vs the 1%", and I think that just fell into their laps. Meanwhile, Anti-Abortion advocates get to fight on the "Pro-Life" side, hedge funder's who want to pass every dollar on to their kids are against the "Death Tax" and anti-union corporate advocates push "Right to Work" laws that actively obliterate the working class.

Probably has a lot to do with the fact that the left in America has not really stood for much beyond status quo and kindlier, more PR friendly corporate profits for many years. "Medicare for All" could be one of those victories but they would have to actually want that.

how do people like peter daou keep soldiering on day to day

is there some sort of secret tightrope act between shredding self-awareness and inflating hubris at the same time

I still maintain the Dems are barely criticizing Trump. More like they're agreeing with him on 90% of the rear end in a top hat moves and the only recent thing has been the child concentration camps. "Trump bad" would be a better message than the absolute load of nothing they've been pushing for the past year.
Because they don't actually disagree with him on many, if any, policy positions.

I have no idea who Barbara Lee is but I trust AOC on this
Lee owns, she is a long time Oakland resident with ties to the Black Panthers and a super consistent anti war record (even voting with Republicans to oppose Obama's Libya expedition). Her being speaker would be worth it just to see Fox News lose their god drat minds.

so i guess people are really super angry about AOC calling out crowley's fuckery if they're twisting one line from a tweet to try to make it appear she supports buckley's racism.
The Buckley thing is deeply funny because literally no one knows who that is or cares about it at all. Centrist Dems hoping this gets the NY-14 voters riled up against AOC are like the people who thought Trump's 300 word vocabulary would hurt him in the election.
