hi mitt

[trouble]

man, lotta mad liberals online about the "guts" thing huh

is he still on that fucking boat?

the bernie rally was good. probably the most significant political event i've ever attended? tens of thousands of people attuned to the same political frequency, the same arrowsharp focus on the year ahead, the sense of gravity about the stakes

the AOC endorsement is the clearest demonstration to me that the american left is developing into a mainstream institution with a multi-generational trajectory. every day this campaign goes forward i'm more convinced that (whether he gets the nomination or not) the harder bernie fights, the better off everyone will be in the end

everyone donate to him

Warren’s plans would be a blow to K Street if Congress passed them into law. Lobbyists registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act have been paid more than $1.2 billion since 2017, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That figure doesn’t include lobbying of foreign companies, such as Honda or Deutsche Bank, whose lobbyists aren’t considered foreign agents.

The First Amendment guarantees the right “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” and it's unclear whether the Supreme Court would uphold Warren’s proposals if they were passed into law.

politico mad it's reader base might not exist

[blurst of times]

these are important points imo.

THE DEBATE OVER the fate of Obama for America, Obama’s campaign arm, goes back to 2008, when Obama adjudicated an internal dispute within his operation by mothballing the organization and folding it under the auspices of the Democratic National Committee, which itself was forbidden from pressuring Democrats to push Obama’s agenda. Some in his orbit argued that Obama’s insider approach to the presidency needed to be complemented by robust outside pressure from grassroots organizers. But Obama believed that he and his team, led by Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, would be able to work more effectively with moderates and Republicans if grassroots activists weren’t pressuring them from the outside. That turned out not to be the case.

Rallies and protests are a critical element of outside pressure, but that pressure is also expressed through primary challenges to incumbents unenthusiastic about the president’s agenda. To that end, Sanders said that he would be looking to get more involved in primaries in the weeks and months ahead. So far, Sanders has only endorsed one challenger, Marie Newman, who is taking on Rep. Dan Lipinski in Illinois.

Asked if he planned to endorse more primary challengers, Sanders said, “I think so. I think that we need to let elect a House and a Senate that is as progressive as it possibly can be, a House and a Senate that he is going to work with me in fighting for healthcare for all, to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, to deal with the global crisis of climate change. So I will do everything I can, and have over the last number of years, to get more people involved in the political process, and to elect people who are as progressive as possible.”

I would honestly love it to my very core if he got involved in beating hickenlooper

[palmer eldritch]
