Fair point.

It sucks that Republicans know the rules and know to win the electoral college votes, and Democrats focus on winning NY and CA.

If only someone would.tell the Democrats what to do.

I'm just saying... letting the people that produce our food have a slightly outsized influence might help prevent us from starving. And it isn't just that they're ignorant (not stupid), it's that they are convinced that they aren't and know better how to do these things than those doing them. AOC was talking about getting rid of yards and using that space for "Victory gardens" in the cities. I guess she thinks since she's grown a house plant that it's the same.

I'm okay with, "let's bounce around some ideas". The whole, "If you don't want to do this you're a bad human being (and maybe a Nazi)" on stupid ideas is what scares the hell out of me.

Democrats have turned out an all out civil war within their party right now. Twitter has been on fire.

It's glorious.

I think most or all the originals are gone, but here's a story on it.

House Democrats Twitter Account Blasts AOC Chief of Staff for Tweet Hitting Kansas Dem

After this a generic official "House Committee Democrats" or some such was admonishing using official accounts to trash other Democrats.

Oh, I know. Just wondering why he's repeating Obama's line that was determined to be the lie of the year by Politifact. Repeating the whole "you can keep your doctor and you can keep your plan" isn't going to help him in the General either. He's doubling down on the lie the administration he was a part of told.

Show me it being the lie of the year. Certainly nothing changed for me with the ACA.

Also, he is saying plan, not doctor. Public option might have a shot in Congress.

Ah, here it is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PolitiF ... he_Year%22

So the ACA got 3 years, 1 against Obama, due to unintended consequences. 2 against Republicans.

Still rather have Bidens plan than whatever Trump's doing

I'd rather the government get out of it entirely. It wasn't great before Obamacare, but it's getting worse.

Edit to say: Politifact has an extreme left wing bias. For them to call out Obama (notice it was after his re-election when the data was available going into the '12 election), it had to be pretty egregious. Also, I think it was mostly done to lay down some cover fire as to how bad they were becoming.

AOC has an opponent for her seat.

A Republican businesswoman from Jamaica.

I think that's effort and money better spent somewhere else. She does more good for Republicans elsewhere than a Republican in her seat would do.

'I am legally married to one and culturally to another': How Ilhan Omar desperately tried to shut down accusations of bigamy amid claims she was briefly married to her BROTHER to 'commit immigration fraud' while she was still with her current husband

This article lays out the case pretty well. A lot more evidence for this than most of the speculation thrown at Trump in the press. Kind of funny that the local MN paper only really started digging in when the email leaked from Omar's people that they were pretty much Ilhan's lapdog.
