Tonight Fox News didnt play Pete's answer. Instead, they were claiming that he endorsed political violence.

strikes me that they have the same problem we do:

Please retweet if you want Labour, LibDems and Greens to cooperate at the next election in order to oust the Tories and introduce PR so that we never again have to endure a Tory Government with an eighty seat majority secured with only 43% of the popular vote.

we just pretend we have 2 parties when we don't, we have at least 4.

I really do like the suggestion of Andrew Yang that we have all open primaries and ranked choice voting. All the passionate activists, and also the passionate fans of individual personalities like Trump for example, would have to think then and there what is their priority. Yeah because the moderate masses don't vote at primaries you would end up with some extremism, but less than now, because a coalition would already have been built by the general election time as to prioritization of issues or style or whatever. I.E. the majority of primary voters care about abortion or crime, so here is the candidates that also do.

In a sign of good news, apparently crude judicial behavior isn't always allowed in conservative states like Alabama.

In reply to Now I see Politico reporter

Ppl who menstruate upset white men control their bodies now upset lead white male not speaking out forcefully enough. Perhaps he should make Jennifer Palmieri his women's rights czarina and keep silent completely? She rather summarized perfectly.

btw, I don't think Sistah Souljahing on Dobbs is terribly ideal from the guy who Sistah Souljahed on the Anita Rice accusations to bolster one of our lead judicial dickheads, but that's just me - I doubt anyone else makes the connection. But i also don't think there's a very compelling sincerity from the Dobbs proponents - they seem to just want to chip away chunk by chunk like the rest of the GOP, and any safeguards left are a sop to pass judicial/electoral muster rather than actual measured approach - they'll hack on the remainder in short order.

Now I see Politico reporter making a point of playing it up too:

Great quote, spot on sentiment. I think this is how the president should govern on all fronts, but Kate’s quote describes 2019-2020 Biden better than 2021-2022 Biden on many fronts. There is still a chance for him to get back to those roots. https://t.co/V486GAVGHC

White House doing a bit of Sister Souljah - strong enough? and too late or just in time?

Imagine if Biden & Dems had rebuked (in rhetoric *and* action) the activist groups from day one. Would they have sky high approval ratings? No. But they'd be in a much better position to face the midterms. https://t.co/i1qWNzEHcA

I'd certainly say if it has to be noted by a WaPo reporter, it's not strong enough

In reply to "The Democrats’ Progressive Organization Problem"

white feminist women have been a failure, they need to sit down, shut up and follow Black and indigenous women who knew how this should be handled all along, see whole thread -

You should have started following Black and indigenous organizers when we told you to? instead of waiting until it it personally impacted you. Now the battle is even harder, yet you’re still not on board because you want to lead, but lack the skill or experience to do it.

yeah but, she doesn't exactly say what they've been doing different (except maybe voting for Dems? that's obliquely implied) and I gotta tell ya I am not exactly sold on what she says, after all, she doesn't have her prescription, does she? And stuff like black women being killed by black men much more often than white women are killed by white men, and you know, like suffragettes being way ahead of MLK Sorry, no sale, I think I'll just stay with the white feminists for now instead of bitchy holier than thou rhetoric...

oh and if you were so good at organizing how come more minorities voted for Trump the second time around

I could go on and on. Mostly along the lines of people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, and Dr. heal thyself first...
