A young challenger upset the status quo, I wonder what she was running on?

Oh look, she stands for something besides more money for her donors and power for herself. And makes clear statements about policies she supports without apologizing.

Isn’t there a phrase about the Democratic Party being a place where movements die? If not, it sounds about right.

She should be a keynote at the 2020 convention.

Agreed, but no way Kamala or Gillibrand are about to be usurped. Staring into the abyss here and I don't think democrats are ready to forgive Bernie for stumping for Hillary quite yet to give him the nom.

Didn’t Bernie voters flock to Hillary? I didn’t because Benghazi, but I’m pretty sure a majority of Bernie people nutted up and went HRC in the general.

90% of them at last check, significantly higher than Hillary voters that went on to vote Obama.

So it appears to me that Fulchrum is projecting after the PUMA crew let their feelings be known in 2008.

Even taking assumptions about green party voting habits at face value you could probably undercut the problem by not doing things like this.

I'm kind of hoping this:

https://www.vox.com/2018/8/17/17664048/national-prison-strike-2018

Puts an end to Kamala Harris's presidential run. Christ, she'll be really bad, and will not at all beat Trump.

edit: The vox article is really lovely, I apologise for that.

Have you have to use your insurance for a serious (100k+) condition? You learn to love those numbers really fast.

My wife used the insurance for a serious (100k+) condition that acted up at least 3 times a year. For some reason the numbers never added up in my/our favor and we wound up paying a fuckton regardless of what the numbers said. We got so fed up with the numbers that we moved out of country.

I'm not really tuned in to politics in America at the moment, more enthralled with what is going on here in Sweden right now. I am going to let out a hearty lol when Democrats fail to take back the House or the Senate in 2 weeks while flubbing the "Great Caravan" happening in Central America. After laughing, I'll be going to my permanent job, and my cystic fibrosis having wife will be going to her permanent job. Something she couldn't hold in the States and still have vacation time at the end of the year.

Pretty sure if the Democrats fail to take back the House then they are done as a party.

lol, no. They'll hobble along as the minority party they are of white urbanites who want to feel good about their station in life. Pod Save America et al. will be dead though Inshallah.

While I don't outright disagree and maybe it's just the residual effects of a bottle's worth of bourbon speaking I kind of need to pretend the worst isn't going to happen for at least one night or two.

You'd think they at least wait until they're done counting the votes before telling the people who just voted for them that they're not going to do any of the stuff they were elected to do.

Doesn’t matter. Voter memory is short. Donor memory is forever.
