I love that "New York isn't gritty anymore" discourse has made it across the Atlantic.

2-FINAL/ In a good timeline maybe we get Aaron Rouse but this is probably the bad timeline so Levar Stoney will run again.

Oops was confusing him with Kaine. In that case the alternatives are basically Jennifer McClellan and if we're in a truly cursed timeline McAuliffe decides to take a shot.

Ssshhhhh

I would say the answer to your questions is 2006, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2020. But of course what constitutes "the base" has shifted in the course of 20 decades.

Yes, but clearly most Republicans don't care about that (obvious mistake, but they're Republicans).

3-FINAL/ I don't think ACA subsidies have the votes in either chamber, but I suspect that Collins at least votes for them, a long with an odd red-state Senator or two.

2/ But as I've learned from the past decade of politics the base doesn't turn out unless you at least try to fight for the stuff they want. If Trump torched SNAP and ACA in a year people would be asking why Democrats didn't throw up whatever stopgaps they could, and the shutdown was one stopgap.

10/7

Disappointing, one of the great adopters from Twitter. Hopefully people chill the fuck out on the timeline.

Of course, a parting gift from one of the worst Senators of all time.
