I see a lot of really passionate people here, but not many who seem to understand coalition politics, winning elections, or understanding other’s point of view. To survive the next four years, people are going to have to learn some flexibility

Are we missing an opportunity for MSNBC to be what it should be? Would some wealthy resisters band together to buy it? If we talk about it a lot would some step up? Imagine a news outlet that covers climate change, airs possible solutions, and covers actual news, and not just Trump 24/7? Imagine.

It SHOULD force a broad examination of why so many people are so mistreated by insurers that they turn to murder

Citizens United isn’t going away any time soon. But we can still make campaign financing less corrupt. - The Boston Globe
