Did she vote for trump? Its like maybe a 1% subset of Republican voters that would flip. Time is better spent elsewhere.
It's good that congresspeople met the people tonight at the release-the-report protests.
Trump faking being an economic populist stole class based issues from the Dems. And the snapback is because that trick won't work a second time with him now that he revealed he was faking it.Yes. And I believe the exact reasoning she gave for voting for Obama in 2012 was because she just didn't like Romney.
On Tuesday, Alabama representative Terri Collins proposed legislation that would make performing abortions at any point during a woman's pregnancy, including in cases of rape and incest, a felony. The only exception, per the bill, is if foregoing the procedure would pose a "a serious health risk to the unborn child's mother." Put proudly by Collins, the bill "simply criminalizes abortions."
Doesn't shit like that get brought up in deep red State Houses pretty regularly?
is calling aoc a secret muslim the new conspiracy talking point?
Manning clearly isn't well. While she is in this of her own accord I kind of feel like the prosecutors should just let her go. She's not going to talk and it's likely that some in the federal LEO community still have an axe to grind with her.
The Georgia 'heartbeat bill' (bans all abortions after six weeks) did pass both state houses, a week or two ago. It awaits the Governor's signature.
A well-curated twitter feed is probably the best news program in the world.
That's absolutely not how twitter works if you're actually on the platform.If you like your news in 140 character sound bites with absolutely zero context...
So 0 Republican voters?I think it's a pretty safe assumption that Biden would get the most "never-trump" republicans out of any dem.
Basically Gary Johnson voters
I think it's a pretty safe assumption that Biden would get the most "never-trump" republican voters out of any dem.
Lol I didn't say focus on those fuckersYeah those near zero votes are totally who the Dems should focus on.

Ana Navarro would vote for Marco Rubio. Why would she vote for Biden? She's a never Trumper but still a Republican.
She voted for Hillary.Ana Navarro would vote for Marco Rubio. Why would she vote for Biden? She's a never Trumper but still a Republican.
Yeah those near zero votes are totally who the Dems should focus on.
I think we all know that the amount of actual Republicans who will vote Dem in 2020 is pretty small to nil but that doesn't account for a fairly significant number of Obama/Trump voters. They likely self identify as independents but for my sake, and probably for MetalGearZed sake, they may as well be Republicans if they pushed that button for Trump. I don't want to put words in Zeds mouth but I'm pretty sure he's referring to these people when he says Biden is likely to garner more republican votes than any other candidate in 2020. I also think he was just making an observation, not a judgement call on whether or not we should seek them out, or nominate the candidate most likely to pick up those votes
Why are you not for defensing Chelsea? Is she CANCELLED?I'm not serious about the canceled part.
However, I'm not here for her defense of Chelsae Manning at the moment.
Yeah I know it may sound harsh but Manning has nobody but herself to blame for the situation all she has to do is simply answer the questions.
I'm sure she doesn't like being in jail but I don't doubt for one minute that she is enjoying her name being back in the spotlight and I think that is contributing to her refusal to cooperate.
There is literally zero upside to her not cooperating other than getting her name back in the news so I have to assume at this point that's why she's doing this.
are you okayWow, what a problematic and tone-deaf thing to say to a Transwoman who got tortured. Is she cancelled?
Wow, what a problematic and tone-deaf thing to say to a Transwoman who got tortured. Is she cancelled?
What made you say so?
agreed.
"I'm not running for President just to talk about making real, structural change. I'm serious about getting it done. And part of getting it done means waking up to the reality of the United States Senate," Warren will say according to excerpts of her speech.
The speech is at the National Action Conference in Manhattan. Warren will argue the 60 vote supermajority to move legislation has been used as a tool to block racial justice
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is expected to issue the strongest indictment of the Senate filibuster of her campaign for president thus far during a speech at the National Action Network convention on Friday morning.
"Last year the Senate passed a bill that would make lynching a federal crime," Warren will say, according to prepared remarks viewed by The Daily Beast. "Last year. In 2018. Do you know when the first bill to make lynching a federal crime was introduced? 1918. One hundred years ago. And it nearly became the law back then. It passed the House in 1922. But it got killed in the Senate—by a filibuster. And then it got killed again. And again. And again. More than 200 times. An entire century of obstruction because a small group of racists stopped the entire nation from doing what was right."
Warren goes on to say that the filibuster has been used in recent years "by the far right as a tool to block progress on everything."
"I've only served one term in the Senate—but I've seen what's happening," she says, according to the remarks. "We all saw what they did to President Obama. I've watched Republicans abuse the rules when they're out of power, then turn around and blow off the rules when they're in power."
"When Democrats next have power, we should be bold and clear: We're done with two sets of rules—one for the Republicans and one for the Democrats."
— Elizabeth Warren
Hopefully Democrats aren't stupid enough to fall right into this bait and line of attack.
they probably will

I think this would make Warren the first of the main candidates to move to support this position.
Wouldn't admitting to having more evidence just mean that SDNY can now just get a warrant for it? I don't understand why he thinks he can use it as a bargaining chip.
