The most "technically true" headline in history.
It misleads with a headline that any person reading on Nov. 10 would assume means he was fighting to extend the shutdown beyond Sunday.
But if you actually read the article, it very specifically says he didn't want anyone to fold "before November."

If the outcomes aren't the most important thing, it's not even politics. Politics is literally about the outcomes. What he's describing here is cosplaying.

To be clear, the big strategy they're pursuing here is to wait for the GOP to break its worthless promise yet again and then go to the electorate and say "We trusted them and gave them what they wanted, and they lied!" which is definitely a thing voters like and respect.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

the Rosetta Stone of dem politics is the 2006 senate primary which incumbent Joe Lieberman lost in part for making out with George Bush
He ran anyway, won with GOP support, dems let him keep his seniority, chairmanships and perks & he rewarded them by obstructing the ACA & killing the public option

An important question you cannot skip over in pursuit of the Primary Them All solution is: how likely is it that defeating entitled narcissists in a primary will actually stop them from running?

Is this *it*? Is voter dissatisfaction so rampant that a cleansing wave of primary voters demanding change is coming to wash away the dross?
Maybe. But it's very far from a certainty. It depends on a critical mass of voters who've accepted excuses for decades refusing to accept excuses anymore.

This is my favorite part of this cycle we've been repeating for my entire adult life: when they sit backwards on the chair for some real talk and explain that you're a fucking peasant who doesn't understand how things work.

apropos of nothing I wrote a book a long time ago about how the DLC and Bill Clinton redefined winning for an entire generation of Democrats as "getting something done" through bipartisanship and compromise rather than achieving (or even having!) a specific outcome in mind, and, what do I know.

This is from March but I still think about it and find myself wondering if this is, you know, a viable system of government that can be saved or deserves to be saved.
I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

In addition to the math not working, 50-year mortgages are already available in some countries (Spain, UK, Japan, Sweden) and they have done exactly nothing to alleviate any of the problems with housing supply, affordability, etc.
It seems that basically nobody likes this idea? It is a bad one, but usually there's some case. I wonder if they go through with it.
