what do people think of Kirsten Gillibrand?

voting against all of Trump's appointments seems like a good start to running in 2020.

 

he's pathetic.

National NHS Demonstration 4th March 2017

 

She was my darkhorse pick for 2020....I asked people here if they thought she was the type to run, don't remember what they said.

In all honesty, if I'm her, I wait. She's a midlde aged white woman from New York who replaced Hillary in the Senate....might just be a little too close to 2016 and the comparisons and associations that will be made.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a nominee Booker choose her for VP, but there are better choices he could make if he were the guy IMO

here's the petition that is set up. I guess it's working now. wasn't working for awhile.

I guess it's not counting the total signed right. I signed when it said 42 still says 42.

 

"The women’s marches were the beginning, not the end. What happens next will be decided by what we do. Movements do not come to us from heaven, fully formed and organized. They are built by actual people, with all their political questions, weaknesses and strengths.

If the left doesn’t engage with the aim of contending for leadership and influence, we just concede these forces to the Democrats and liberals, who will certainly try to confine the new upsurge of opposition to the political limits they want to define.

The point isn’t to bury our arguments. If we want to win people to more radical politics, we must learn how to make our arguments while operating in political arenas that aren’t just our own. Revolutionary socialists have a long and rich tradition of building united fronts, which seems more real now that 3 million people were in the streets.

We must do a better job at facilitating debate, discussion and argument so that we talk about how to build the kind of movement we want. But endless social media critiques with no commitment to diving into that struggle for the kind of movement we want is not a serious approach.

There are literally millions of people in this country who are now questioning everything. We need to open up our organizations, planning meetings, marches and much more to them. We need to read together, learn together, be in the streets together and stand up to this assault together."

hahahaha. do this for everyone

 

Holy shit. Did he respond?

 

banning EPA employees from speaking seems aggressive.

 

I agree with Ben. That question should be asked for every nominee.

 

Love Brad.

 

lol Tim Kane's smirk

 

One broken window, or a hundred, is not victory. But nor is over half a million people rallying on the National Mall. Both gain potency only if they are perceived as a threat by those in and around power. And neither action will appear threatening unless followed up again and again with unrelenting force, in a multitude of directions.

she's blocked you so it's probably beyond fixing but you can show her how Milo told a lesbian that lesbianism is not a legitimate orientation, or how he publicly outed a trans student at a college he was speaking at, and be like yeah this idiot doesn't deserve breathing audiences

 

Complete bullshit happening in MN today.
