Guys, he's already tried to remove that law, we have a super majority of GOP in the house legislature, he can't veto or do anything. Basically we only removed one guy and left all the others pushing that law in power. We continue to shame them but until 2017/18 re-elections D's in this state cannot actually do anything but bitch.

Let's not blame D's for R's obstruction that's how we end up with idiots voting in more Republicans when its their fault to begin with. (Plus guy has like 3-4 lawsuits fighting to even keep his limited power since they've been trying to remove most of it) He's slowly winning them at least!

Do governors have anything like executive orders, but within the state?

What? It's like the main legislative priority of state level GOPs. Breaking unions to suppress wages is their raison d'être.

That's just because unions tend to be leftist and don't want owners to have 100% of the money. They're just using another tool to break leftists, union busting itself isn't the goal (see their exceptions for pigs for evidence).

she definitely would have won if the 3rd party votes could have been re-allocated to top 2, so they did matter

Are you assuming every Stein/Johnson/whoever else vote would've gone to hildog? Lmao. Plenty of them would've stayed home or written in something or left it blank.



Also, advocate for electoral reform so we get runoffs and preferential voting instead of punching the left for not being centrist. They never will be, that's why they didn't vote hildog.

During the election, there was an argument on one of my facebook posts between one of my former master sergeants from my time in the military and a good friend of mine. The master sergeant supported Trump and mentioned the horrors of war. My friend said he would have been more useful if he came back in a wooden box.

That's my story.

I would very much (when I'm not being selfish) like Ellison to win. (I think Buttigieg should set his sights higher. Honestly, Ellison too, but someone's gotta do the job, and it might as well be someone good.) I think he'd be great at the job, and I think it would be a great symbolic victory and a good first step in progressives taking over the coalition. (I don't want to kick centrists out, I want to put them to work, but I sure as hell don't want them in charge any more)

I ain't giving up on poo poo if Perez wins, though. Hell, even if that Podesta Group guy who just dropped out somehow wins. Not because those are equally good outcomes (they're so not, though Perez isn't completely awful, i guess), but because gently caress giving up. It's defeatism that makes me upset, not some bizarre attachment to third-wayism or what the gently caress ever, and 'I'm gonna go start my own party, but with blackjack and hookers' is just a slightly shoutier defeatism, and this goddamn thread is full of it.

You could join the socialist party, that might work better to drag dems leftward, to merge parties.

they did this like a month ago. it'll be nice if they start being good and actually helping people (apparently there'e going to be a new drug reimportation bill and cory booker has sworn to god he'll vote for it this time), but i'm pretty doubtful. they refused to be good dems even in the shadow of trump's ascendancy, why would they change now that they think they can do nothing and slide back into office because of how awful trump is?

This is what annoys me. It's easy for dems to introduce cool legislation like drug reimport now when they know it'll be vetoed anyway, why didnt they do it back when they had the supermajority in 09?

It would have been better if the Government had people put there money in a savings account that they could not touch until retirement. The government has spent people's social security. I am not planning on drawing social security. I came from nothing. Me and my husband have worked hard. We own two businesses with only a High school education. So if you work hard you can do anything.
