I wish all Democrats were as skilled at clapping back at GOP trolls as AOC is.

Pete is. It's why he should be in a different position where he has reason to be on Sunday shows every week confronting these morons.

Who is on these Sunday shows from the Biden administration?

I saw Joshua Johnson guest hosted Meet the Press this week. Does he do a better job than Chuck Todd?

 

[wakelaw13]

I think Blinken was recently. That's the only one I can recall. Pete was a while ago I think when they were discussion infrastructure talks, but his commentary was limited to that subject. I want him in the roll of chief talker of shit.

No one likes a sore loser...except Republicans.

Byron could make this real ugly by turning this into a national election against socialism.

Nah Pete took this job in the private sector one time where he looked at bread prices or something.

Disqualified.

Kind of an old message tied up in a weird new bow. The NYC mayoral election ranked choice hasn’t been announced yet. They don’t have exit polling to show racial breakdown. It looks like the progressive vote was split between two candidates. Adams got 32% of the first choice vote and the two progressive candidates got 22% and 20%. It’s hard to conclude this is some huge defeat for progressive politics.

the political classification taxonomy in that poll is weird

It’s not a poll.

Good thread about the roles Jesse Jackson’s 1984 primary campaign and Joe Biden played in starting US political opposition to South African apartheid despite Republican resistance.

False equivalence? Sure. A worthwhile point though!

I’d settle for a government jobs program that starts at $15/hr.

The problem with $15 minimum wage is that you only had under 45 votes, not the parliamentarian.

In addition the the two, the NH senators, Coons, and maybe one or two more had hesitations about $15 nationwide.

We don't know that for sure because the derp in office made no real pitch for it.

We did get some nice bombs in Syria tho.
