  1. "Regulation" is RULE OF LAW. The right-wing is opposed to RULE OF LAW. The gov't is BY DEFINITION RULE OF LAW.

  2. Marijuana legalization was traditionally a left-wing initiative. The "law-and-order" anti-drug right-wing was the decades-long pro-long-prison-terms opponent.

  5. And based on the facts revealed during a Senate Finance Committee concerning a data breach at United Health, that corporation wanted to buy a physician practice. The practice said no, United Health through machinations pushed the practice to the verge of bankruptcy so they'd need the money by selling. Selling would mean they would lose control of their practice -- their relationships with their patients -- by becoming employees of United Health. Mass. General Hospital, the "big boy" in Boston, and a not-for-profit. has 300 PCPs unionizing in order to protect their practices and patients from the hospital administration, which latter is focused on the bottom line, not on meeting the needs of doctors and patients.

  12.  @ahmedfarah2930  FDR was a centrist, but his responses to crises were progressive. Biden is a centrist, but his responses to the crises have been progressive. In other words, stop being narrow and inflexible. And be certain you know the meaning of "progressive" before slinging it. Most important is to educate yourself in actual political history -- not the "Leftist" variety. I was a young adult during the 1960s and early 1070s; and 99 per cent of the "history" of the 1960s I hear from the "progressive" "Left" is HORSESHIT -- bias and wishful thinking, NOT FACT. Sam Seder is among the worst of them. It was the "Left" who got Nixon elected, because the "Left's" tactics ALIENATED the moderate middle we needed to reach in order to get the US out of Vietnam. As result, that involvement continued into the mid-1970s. Today it's fashionable to blame LBJ for the escalation, but it was Nixon who EXPANDED that war OUTSIDE Vietnam. See the PBS documentary "The Roosevelts: An Intimate History". REPUBLICAN Teddy Roosevelt was the "father" of Progressivism. He was the first to make the NATIONAL gov't NATIONAL. He established the national parks system (as a conserva-tionist). He was for a national health system. But when he ran for re-election as head of the third-party "Progressive Party" he went off the rails, thus defeating the moderate Republican Taft; elected was the white supremacist Democrat Wilson. Be careful what you wish for -- you might get it. Or as happened in 2016, as result of the arrogant so-called "progressive" political illiterates, their "hero" Sanders helped elect Trump. And some of them wanted to "blow up the system" so voted for Trump. How did that work out not only for "progressives" but also for the rest of us who have progressive ideals and goals -- but are PRAGMATIC?

  17.  @chaosopher23  Learn to distinguish between fact and disinformation; between truth and bullshit. Then you'll get clarity, by seeing through the bullshit, to the positions of those behind it. FOX, as example, pushes fictions -- "alternative 'facts'" -- in order to substitute those for reality. Timothy Snyder explains how those things work. As example FOX pretends to be moral, "argues" about morality all the time, while in fact thy are moral relativists engaged in a constant attack on non-relative facts and reality. On reason itself. Without reason there is no morality.

  38.  @brenatevi  For Republicans who are doing it while accusing Democrats of doing. Those who fall for that tactic come up with the false assertion that there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats. In fact, per the Constitution, "We the people" are the gov't. Ego, the gov't exists to meet the needs of "We the people," paid for (taxes) and determined by "We the people". Look at the Biden administration's effort to meet the needs of "We the people" while the Republicans obstruct that effort. Republicans and Democrats areobviously NOT the same.

  53.  @dennisduncan7561  Nope. I've been politically aware for more than 70 years. Sanders began his 2016 campaign by promising to destroy the DEMOCRATIC -- NOT REPUBLICAN -- Party. Which party was and is the THREAT? And after being allowed to run as a Democrat -- on DEMPCRATIC PARTY FUNDING -- he continued to trash the DEMOCRATIC Party, and to smear Clinton with RIGHT-wing LIES. He even attacked Democratic "centrists" as "corrupt" thus ALIENATING them from HIM. That's why he LOST the election TWICE: he was attacking the voters he needed to win. The 1960's "New Left got NIXON elected by doing the same stupid shit. And Sanders helped elect TRUMP by doing the same stupid shit. Which INCLUDED his standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Trump with his own serial lying about releasing his tax returns. Note that by contrast Clinton released 30 YEARS of her tax returns on the day she announced her candidacy. For one I don't like being YELLED AT by political candidates, especially when they claim power they DON'T have BECAUSE THEY LOST FOR THE THIRD TIME. Attacking those who CAN get elected in order to boost those WHO CANNOT is how to L-O-S-E. Then, of course, instead of taking responsibility for that SELF-DEFEATING behavior, you blame everyone but yourself for the PREDICTABLE RESULT.

  54. The NRA's Two Second Amendment Lies The gun industry political front NRA tells two lies about the intent of the Second Amendment. 1. That the Second Amendment protects an "individual" "right" to possess guns. Comparison with the several prior Supreme Court decisions, and the legislative history -- the Congress' Debates of the writing of the Amendment, which are LEGAL AUTHORITY -- shows that Scalia's "Heller" decision is an outlier. In "Heller" he falsely held that the Amendment protects an individual right -- for which he was excoriated by legal experts across the political spectrum for ignoring this adjudicatory standard: When a conflict over the interpretation of a law cannot be resolved within the text of the law, one reverts to the legislative history of the law -- in this instance Congress' Debates of the writing of the Amendment. The facts from those Debates: The subject of the Amendment is well regulated Militia, and its purpose to establish a National Defense, relying on that Militia. The Militia is not an individual, and is a public institution, regulated under both Federal and state constitutions and laws; thus the Amendment is irrelevant to the issue of private, individual gun ownership: James Madison is called "the father of the Constitution," and the gun industry/NRA claims that Madison wrote the Second Amendment. If both of those are facts, then the word "people" is consistent in meaning from beginning of the Constitution to the end of the first 10 Amendments. The first three words of the Constitution are "We the people," not, "We the individual". This is the first draft of that which became the Second Amendment, which the gun industry/NRA calls the "Madison" Amendment -- but which it never quotes. [Here I clarify it for the logic-impaired]: "The right of the people [PLURAL] to keep and bear arms [this phrase is the well-regulated Militia, and was drawn from four state constitution Militia Clauses] shall not be infringed; a well armed, and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country: but no person [INDIVIDUAL] religiously scrupulous of [AGAINST] bearing arms [in well-regulated Militia] shall be compelled [INVOLUNTARY] to render military service [in well-regulated Militia] in person." Source: Creating the Bill of Rights: The Documentary Record from the First Federal Congress (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, Paperback, 1991), Edited by Helen E Veit, et al., at 12. (This volume is readily available from Amazon.) Note the word "compelled": Militia service was a DUTY -- not a "right". And note the words "people" and "person": if a person -- individual -- claimed "religious" exemption from that DUTY, his case was scrutinized individually. The only "individual" "right" Congress debated was that last clause -- "but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms shall be compelled to render military service" -- and it was obviously dropped from the proposed Amendment before it was ratified. Thus the Second Amendment obviously does not protect "individual" ANYTHING. Only by ignoring the legislative history -- Congress' Debates of the writing of the Amendment, which are LEGAL AUTHORITY -- could Scalia falsely hold that the Amendment protects an "individual" "right". 2. That the purpose of the Amendment was to establish a "right" to "take up arms" against the gov't -- which is refuted by the Constitution itself: Art. I., S. 8., C. 15. The Congress shall have Power To provide for calling forth the Militia to . . . SUPPRESS INSURRECTIONS. The Founders themselves twice established the precedent on the point: Under the Articles of Confederation, "Shays's" rebellion was suppressed by the state's legitimate well-regulated Militia, and the rebels charged with, tried for, and convicted of, TREASON, and sentenced to death. And under the Constitution, AFTER the Second Amendment was ratified, the "Whiskey" rebellion was suppressed by Federalized Militia, lead by George Washington, and the rebels charged with, tried for, and convicted of, TREASON, and sentenced to death. The Congress, as a co-equal branch of gov't, has the authority and power to overturn Supreme Court decisions. Overturn "Heller". PLEASE CIRCULATE INTACT.

You have no knowledge of political history, or what "right-wing" is. Let's look at the facts you sanders dupes NEVER addressed at the time: Paul Manafort and a partner helped elect the pro-Russian president of Ukraine. That campaign involved hacked emails. Manafort ended up running Trump's campaign, and his partner ended up running the Sanders campaign. Sanders' campaign was caught hacking the DNC -- which forced Sanders to dump Manafort's partner. How far to the LEFT must one be to support election stealing?

And saw some of Sanders' politically-illiterate supporters vote for Trump. And still you political-illiterates fall for hot rhetoric instead of adhering to reality: she can make all the pie-in-the-sky assertions she wants, but she is NOT ELECTED so does not have the power she seems to actually believe she does. While democracy is under direct attack you hang your fantasies on an ineffective fringe.

  68.  @sharper68  We get your "position": ALL or NOTHING. And then when you get NOTHING, because you refuse to COMPROMISE, it's everyone else's fault.

Which of those two attempted to overthrow the gov't? Sanders smeared the Democratic center -- the largest voting block -- as "corrupt". And you thought that would persuade the center to vote for Sanders!? One DOES NOT win voters by INSULTING them. The vast majority of voters are centrists. You are FRINGE, NOT "progressive," because genuine PROGRESSIVES would have elected the first WOMAN president. Your "theory of the case" gave us January 6.

  76.  @shadebleu  Of course he did. And he's a "progressive". And when he ran for office he came in a distant third. That should tell you how "popular" his and his fellows' views.

  77.  @samblu97  And how many of those who wanted Israel to stop its genocide in Gaza voted for "anti-war" candidate Trump because they are that stupid? Now -- not even in office yet -- he's threatening war against Canada, Greenland (Denmark), Mexico, and Panama. Get the point: not everyone who claims to be a "journalist" is actually a journalist. One begins to learn to distinguish between those who are and those who aren't when one becomes sufficiently media literate to distinguish between "opinion" and fact. "Opinion" has a chance of being true. But falsehoods and bias, though often palmed off as "journalism," are not opinion, let alone fact. The Internet -- youtube as example -- is flooded with "independent" "journalists" who are "influencers" spewing politics, and in many cases unadulterated garbage. There once were standards; but ignorance and malice rejected the need for them.

But one must be open to learning. It's no virtue that Sanders hasn't changed: "A foolish consistency is the hobgobin of little minds." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson. "Petrified opinion never broke a chain in this world, and it never will." -- Mark Twain. FACT about SANDERS "trying to get it done": Despite being in Congress for 30 years -- the ESSENCE of being ESTABLISHMENT -- Sanders has been TOTALLy INEFFECTIVE at getting ANYTHING done. And that is becuase he is always right, and never wrong -- it's always someone else who is less than perfect. To get anything done in a democracy, one must compromise. That's why Sanders has acomplished NOTHING: he REJECTS democracy.

If it is sufficiently aligned with the MAJORITY -- the MAJORITY is MODERATE -- they can get elected. BUT THEN s/he will meet OPPOSITION -- see the members of "the Squad". IMMEDIATELY they wanted to get rid of Pelosi -- without themselves FIRST learning THE RULES. AND while holding a MINORITY view. They haven't so much as "sold out" as they've been INEFFECTIVE because NOT THE MAJORITY. REAL politics aren't for entitled twits who are owed by the world that their every whine and wince be given priority over all else. The twits who, if they don't get it ALL AT ONCE -- who are confronted with the REALITY that it must be worked for INCH BY INCH, INCREMENTALLY -- will take their ball and go home. Or will vote to "blow up the system" to teach EVERYONE how POWERFUL their STUPIDITY. What does "progressive" mean? It CERTAINLY DOES NOT mean voting for Trump -- as many of these fool REGRESSIVE "progressives" did -- and imposing the MASSIVELY DESTRUCTIVE CONSEQUENCES on EVERYONE ELSE. But that's what the Sanders "progressives" did because they didn't get their MINORITY view imposed on the MAJORITY; instead the got the EXACT OPPOSITE EXTREME.

  109. The NRA's Two Second Amendment Lies The gun industry political front NRA tells two lies about the intent of the Second Amendment. 1. That the Second Amendment protects an "individual" "right" to possess guns. Comparison with the several prior Supreme Court decisions, and the legislative history -- the Congress' Debates of the writing of the Amendment, which are LEGAL AUTHORITY -- shows that Scalia's "Heller" decision is an outlier. In "Heller" he falsely held that the Amendment protects an individual right -- for which he was excoriated by legal experts across the political spectrum for ignoring this adjudicatory standard: When a conflict over the interpretation of a law cannot be resolved within the text of the law, one reverts to the legislative history of the law -- in this instance Congress' Debates of the writing of the Amendment. The facts from those Debates: The subject of the Amendment is well regulated Militia, and its purpose to establish a National Defense, relying on that Militia. The Militia is not an individual, and is a public institution, regulated under both Federal and state constitutions and laws; thus the Amendment is irrelevant to the issue of private, individual gun ownership: James Madison is called "the father of the Constitution," and the gun industry/NRA claims that Madison wrote the Second Amendment. If both of those are facts, then the word "people" is consistent in meaning from beginning of the Constitution to the end of the first 10 Amendments. The first three words of the Constitution are "We the people," not, "We the individual". This is the first draft of that which became the Second Amendment, which the gun industry/NRA calls the "Madison" Amendment -- but which it never quotes. [Here I clarify it for the logic-impaired]: "The right of the people [PLURAL] to keep and bear arms [this phrase is the well-regulated Militia, and was drawn from four state constitution Militia Clauses] shall not be infringed; a well armed, and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country: but no person [INDIVIDUAL] religiously scrupulous of [AGAINST] bearing arms [in well-regulated Militia] shall be compelled [INVOLUNTARY] to render military service [in well-regulated Militia] in person." Source: Creating the Bill of Rights: The Documentary Record from the First Federal Congress (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, Paperback, 1991), Edited by Helen E Veit, et al., at 12. (This volume is readily available from Amazon.) Note the word "compelled": Militia service was a DUTY -- not a "right". And note the words "people" and "person": if a person -- individual -- claimed "religious" exemption from that DUTY, his case was scrutinized individually. The only "individual" "right" Congress debated was that last clause -- "but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms shall be compelled to render military service" -- and it was obviously dropped from the proposed Amendment before it was ratified. Thus the Second Amendment obviously does not protect "individual" ANYTHING. Only by ignoring the legislative history -- Congress' Debates of the writing of the Amendment, which are LEGAL AUTHORITY -- could Scalia falsely hold that the Amendment protects an "individual" "right". 2. That the purpose of the Amendment was to establish a "right" to "take up arms" against the gov't -- which is refuted by the Constitution itself: Art. I., S. 8., C. 15. The Congress shall have Power To provide for calling forth the Militia to . . . SUPPRESS INSURRECTIONS. The Founders themselves twice established the precedent on the point: Under the Articles of Confederation, "Shays's" rebellion was suppressed by the state's legitimate well-regulated Militia, and the rebels charged with, tried for, and convicted of, TREASON, and sentenced to death. And under the Constitution, AFTER the Second Amendment was ratified, the "Whiskey" rebellion was suppressed by Federalized Militia, lead by George Washington, and the rebels charged with, tried for, and convicted of, TREASON, and sentenced to death. The Congress, as a co-equal branch of gov't, has the authority and power to overturn Supreme Court decisions. Overturn "Heller". PLEASE CIRCULATE INTACT.

And typically vote based on fringe nonsense. We live in dangerous times in which holding the line is the best that can be done -- if that. But you want the pet unicorn.

  133.  @paddleduck5328  I've been paying attention for more than 70 years. During elections, John Hancock was a "populist". Between elections he characterized democracy as "mob rule". (That is why we have the Electoral College: the Constitution prohibits political violence, expressly including insurrection. The January 6th insurrections was "direct democracy".) "Populists" Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson the "revolutionary" while in France hobnobbed with the aristocrats. Then when the French revolution inspired by Jefferson was a bloodbath with included the slaughters of both aristocrats and "revolutionary" rivals, Jefferson's defensive rationale was about the "Tree of Liberty" being watered with the blood of the very "tyrants" he'd been hanging out with. Neither Franklin nor Jefferson were ever on the front lines. Neither was the ass who gave the, "Give me liberty,,, or give me death!" speech -- who his own legislative colleagues considered unstable. Unlike Sanders I'm not a far-Leftist stuck in the 1960s pretending to be a present-day progressive. I knew Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin -- they were assholes: their "street theater" provocations of violence got Nixon elected.

In Boston the mayor made a minor change in the hours during which anti-vaxxer protesters could protest at her house while disturbing the entire residential neighborhood, and she was hammered by right-wing crackpots for "violating the First Amendment.

  139. The polls are ARTIFICIALLY "close" because some aggregators include the junk Republican "polls" which are intended to make it appear close so when Trump is blown out -- I've been saying for months that this is building to a landslide for Harris/Walz -- he will whine that the election was "stolen". The official state voting data is in stark contrast to the polls: see "The TEC Show" on youtube. In Michigan, as example, women are outvoting men 57 to 43. And the Harris-Cheney town halls in Republican areas revealed that the breaking points for sane Republicans are the January 6th insurrection and the Dobbs decision. And that includes men. And there is an additional significant "silent bloc" of Republicans not saying who they're voting but it is Harris/Walz. Last but not least, see the extraordinary, brutally beautiful speech delivered by Michelle Obama in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Barack has the warmth and humor and that smile, but her speech at the DNC topped him, and this speech tops that. I've been saying since December of last year that women, instead of getting tricked into debating abortion for 5 decades, should have responded by teaching the rest of us -- most opponents have been men -- about problem pregnancies. Because that is the issue: problem pregnancies. Michelle Obama speaks to that -- women's reproductive experiences are the central substance. And it is directed at male voters. The whole speech is a powerful and factual barnburner -- you will be riveted: Michelle Obama Speech in Kalamazoo, MI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtQqGOOLh8o

So after four years of Trump -- who he HELPED ELECT -- we are closer than ever to losing democracy. But we get it: don't criticize Saint Sanders, else we'll attack the critic, instead of addressing the issue.

  149. The LOONY defenses of the murderer promote domestic terrorism. And Terrorist-in-Chief LOVES their irresponsible and dangerous contribution to the chaos and domestic violence he foments against the rule of law. The following is FUNDAMENTAL. ___ From "A Man for All Seasons": In the following, Roper was Thomas More's hot-headed and impulsive son-in-law-- Roper: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law! More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? Roper: I'd cut down every law in England to do that! More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you -- where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws, from coast to coast -- man's laws, not God's -- and if you cut them down -- and you're just the man to do it -- do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake. ___ Who is the "Devil" in this situation? The VICTIM. ANYONE can be put in the position of "Devil". The attacks on McDonalds, and minimum-wage employee, the death threats against the backpack manufacturer are domestic terrorism. What will these fools do if one or more of those innocent people are harmed or worse -- cheer? Stop and think for the first time in their lives? All them need to sit down, STFU, and ask themselves how they lost their minds and moral compass. Or why they are indistinguishable from MAGA.

Someone has fed them the fantasy that politics is all-or-nothing: they want it all at once, which is why they end up with nothing. In contrast, the democratic process is incremental. But they'd rather get nothing, then blame everyone else for their failure.
