Dems should run on this.

I get why conservative Christians hate the rest....but the bolded stuff? Does Eve eating the apple mean that people are inherently bad, and is assuming the worst of everyone a traditional moral value?
Anyone else think switching parties shouldn't be permitted when one is still in office?
That said, I think the Dems fecked themselves knowing this asshat's prior history. But it was a complete con job by Jimbo.
Here's TYT take on Jimbo's return to GOP. Look at the nutjobs in the background. It's like someone scoring a goal for the home side.

I think anyone should be able to switch parties. It works both ways in that regard. Lincoln Chafee switched a few years ago which helped the Dems.
Here's more on Higgins which RWNJs are now blowing hot air about.
Rumor is she banged Willie Brown when she was younger. Like how power hungry do you have to be?
i'm anti kamala but isn't one of the lessons of 2016 that no one gives a shit about credentials and qualifications?
harris booker patrick cuomo...not optimistic
hoping warren wins

I thought the lesson of 2016 was that the electorate is not ready for ambitious, power hungry women to run the country.

So, Deval Patrick - anyone know anything about him? Rumours that Obama is pushing him to run for 2020.
Cuomo can feck off. Him being on a ticket will be much worse than Clinton. He'll actually have a decent chance of being the first Democrat to lose NY in like forever.
he currently works at bain capital, the company romney founded, so he's exactly the sort of guy to turn out the left wing voters and disaffected members of the obama coalition who see both parties as corporate stooges with differing social platforms

Fits well with the idea that most people see politics like sport: support your team. It doesn't explain how one picks a team in the first place; so ideology/content might still matter. I suspect in quite different ways than people imagine.

Here is another reason why healthcare is so expensive. The positive: thats an issue that shouldn't divide people along partisan lines.
Drug expiration dates are very often way too conservative, which means drugs worth many billions have to be thrown away each year. Take the numbers with a huge pinch of salt. They are almost certainly exaggerated. Still, there is a lot of money to be saved. It's also a good example how regulatory institutions unintentionally create incentives that create massive waste.

Frank Spencer trolled the DNC.
Sweden waste hundreds of millions of dollars on expired medicine that is perfectly good each year so I would assume that the US would be in high number of billions. The defense have medicine storage where they test the medicines in labs every year and they are sometimes stored decades longer than expiry date.
We waste meds in the military. I was given meds for Malaria as precaution to possibly going to Africa despite going to Germany (due the theater operation, the site I went to had command over Africa). "Just in case" per the doc per mandate. A healthcare admin officer told me those pills cost about $5 each which means my bottle cost $500 - and I never used them. They inevitably get trashed after return stateside.

The no-hoper challenging Paul Ryan's deep red district had an AMA:
I am Randy Bryce (the Iron Stache) - Candidate for Wisconsin's First Congressional District - AMA self.SandersForPresident
I pretty much climaxed at this exchange:
Edit: He is a member of the exact class Trump targeted with some success, and not just does he have a progressive economic agenda, he is also pro-choice, pro-BLM and anti-deportations.
Bernie and his movement, including the white working class people who support him (bros?), are not the incurable racists/sexists that the centrist Dems portray them as.

Guardian did some good reporting on this. All the candidates are awful*, but the guy who came 3rd was part of the Rand Paul/Cruz Freedom Caucus, and would have been an extra headache for Mitch.
*even by republican standards, they are Bad.
I've been seeing some twitter comments about Bernie possibly doing 2020.
Unanimous negative. This is from Democrats.
I'm not sure this is a online PUMA-style thing, or whether it will be picked up in the next polls.

Yep. Sanders did very well in explaining his views in simple terms, so that the average American could understand what he was for.
Not sure if you watched the town hall a few months ago in McDowell County in West Virginia which heavily voted Trump. He got Trump supporters on his side with plenty of applause at the end.
Much of the US fear Sharia law and do believe it's happening in various parts of the US, obviously driven by the likes of Fox News, hate talk radio, and politicians. Oklahoma passed a bill a while back that makes it illegal in the state, as if it would ever have been passed to begin with. Pandering to their Christian nutters no doubt.
Here's a list of bills introduced and enacted banning Sharia Law - https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/08/08/anti-sharia-law-bills-united-states
