    Chait has been a wolf in sheep's clothing for years. He was the ringleader of "the women's march is a bullshit form of protest because it excludes men" thread on Twitter too. Guy is a clown

    Chait is just the worst. He gives cover to this bullshit all the time under the guise of being principled and inclusive. He can get fucked.

    Fair. However, my disagreement w him re Michigan football pales in comparison to how he plays this respectability politics game. And I actually was a big fan of his politically before he and I had it out re: UM.

    Vehemently disagree that they need to express that beef w Obama. They are better off embracing him as a winning strategy.

    That said, they absolutely need to pin many of his Wall Street apologist tendencies on Trump/GOP. There's no question Obama undertook far too many half measures on the banks and financial services industry. But saying that out loud as an electoral strategy only helps Trump2020. Pin it on Donald as he makes those laws even more permissive.

    Yes but it's better than $0 per week.

    Plus they probably figure if you are making well over that mark you probably have benefits, PTO, and the means to care for the child during that time better than someone making under that threshold.

    I'm really hoping Mandel wins the GOP nomination for Senate in 2018 without a primary. Right now, he has announced and no others have shown interest.

    Mike Dewine is running for governor, so Kasich is the only wild card left to see what fight Sherrod Brown will have.

    He will beat Mandel, but not the other two.

    It's incredible to me how conservatives can't wrap their minds around the concept that increasing the amount of consumers is good for a consumer economy.

    Yet they totally understand that small towns are dying since no one lives there.

    It's almost like those two concepts are related somehow.

    The Democratic Party IS the right wing/conservative party. It would be beneficial to the country if they'd own it and stop acting like they're the party of progressives.

    Not only would they have an easier time convincing conservatives they're not evil, they would force the progressive/left to reevaluate where they stand.

    It would be bigly yuge if the Dems would start owning who they are

    I love how he tries to explain ancap to them and they said "that's basically what we have now." :laugh:

    Greeks are an awesome people by the way. Friendly to a fault if anything. I don't really think their culture really lines up well with capitalism because they aren't nearly as individualistic as us.

    As long as the Republocans remain a viable party, democrats can't claim that title.

    Some more eloquent than me (Iron Mickey Chicago Seminole , etc) want to help compose an email to my reps lambasting their stances on Trump's vacations and continued use of a personal unsecured android phone. The fact that we have no record of emails, texts or calls he's sending from that thing should be alarming to everyone.

    Pretty sure that is begging to be found unconstitutional by any judge that sees it. But... it doesn't appear that political affiliation is a protected class in Iowa (it is in most states)
