This week began with the release of a report titled “Deciding to Win,” claiming to light the way “toward a common sense renewal of the Democratic Party.”

But the first mention of healthcare is so far from reality that the authors might have more accurately titled their report “Deciding to Lie.” The report declares that Medicare for All is in the category of “unpopular economic policies.” The claim is false. But it’s in sync with the corporate sensibilities and wishful thinking of party operatives like James Carville, whose praise of the document appears on its first page.

... what? What are you even talking about? All of the sentiment on here I've seen has been "primary the shit out of these fucks and then vote for the least bad in the general". I think the only take that gets flak is "well, I'm not gonna vote for such-and-such in the general because we deserve better representation", which just gives it to the greater evil.

Try calling out Newsom for his shit politics in any thread that has him, it's a coin toss is they agree or say you're a Russian bot for not liking a transphobe.
