A decade after Bernie Sanders began with 1% support, his fight for working people is reshaping US politics. Progressive candidates scored major wins nationwide. Is this the wave he set in motion?
Did they codify Roe v. Wade? Clinton said he wouldn’t do it. Obama said they had better things to focus on. They could have also passed real healthcare reform in Obama’s first two years, but he was too concerned about reelection to do it correctly. That super-majority was a gift.
Obama passed same-sex marriage only after Biden’s gaffe saying he’d support it. There’s an argument to be made that it might have been a setup and they did that intentionally, but I think these people play shit safe because they’re cowards.
Dems squandered two. Clinton and Obama. They just can’t get out of their own way.
Hard disagree. They didn’t squander anything. They did what they wanted to do.
We are more informed now, we can organize better now.
Neo-libs are getting primaried more and more. At least some of them KNOW that they can’t fuck up again, or they’re gone.

Same side. I meant that as in they didn’t do what the people wanted… They did what THEY wanted
I misunderstood your stance because you said “hard disagree” in your first reply. Thanks for clarifying.
