Somehow resistant to the persuasive skills of Donald Trump If there's a theme to this year's hopes for Democrats to take back the Senate, it's that every goddamn seat matters. Progressives might wish for a whole Senate full of Elizabeth Warrens and Sherrod Browns, but they won't be part of a Democratic majority at all if we don't also defend seats held by centrist Democrats in red states, because that's the math. Oh, and also because centrist Dems vote the way we'd prefer a hell of a lot more regularly than any "moderate" Republican ever would, as evidenced by the support of Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins for the Big Fat Tax Cuts For Rich Fuckwads Act of 2017, which not incidentally
Blankenship is a terrible choice. I always thought the gave tribute to the Gods that the Gulf disaster happened at the same time, as he killed more people than the wellhead spill.
The most interesting part of it is that it actually complicates a more simple word. More interesting is "orientate": you orientate a compass but you orient yourself to your surroundings. Go figure on that one. !
Senator Heitkamp was merely representing her constituents in North Dakota.Democrats must not sacrifice a majority in Congress in a vain attempt to enforce ideological purity.Getting rid of Traitor Trump is too important.
and we pointed out how the Greens did the same thing to about a dozen of their candidates. A week before their convention, they had 13 or 14 candidates, and then the Monday after, just Jill all by her lonesome.
I either missed this or forgot it. I am requesting a short reminder what happened re. the greens and the convention and Stein.
"The Senate on Thursday confirmed a former coal industry lobbyist as the second-highest official at the Environmental Protection Agency..."
Heidi voted to confirm him. She also voted to confirm Scott Pruitt. Yes, voting for her is better than voting for a repub but it is a "hold your nose and vote" sort of thing.
I question the veracity of the state results in the second link; Jill Stein was never formally registered as a candidate in Georgia, and possibly a handful of other states. The Greens didn't get on the ballot here, and as no Green candidate bothered to register as a candidate in Georgia, even write-in votes for them couldn't be counted per state law. I know at least a couple of other states have similar laws, making the Green 'primaries' in those states legally meaningless.
Long story short, I don't see how the Democrats did anything differently from the Greens in choosing their 2016 candidate.
Ah, I see you've discovered Say Anything, the idiot blog local moron Rob Port runs to publish stories and smears as requested by his big money national republican supporters.
A couple years ago his festering mess of a blog was bought out by the local newspaper conglomerate and they made him a columnist. I'd say it cost them their credibility, but that was gone decades ago already.
"Back in the day" was 13 colonies. Was New York the biggest?
For sure. The roots of the process taint it a little bit, but neither can I think of something more equitable.

Or worse, a weakening of your means of obtaining bread in the first place, aka negative bread.
Exactly.

I grudgingly accept that people use "ask" as a noun. But I really don't see why, since we have the perfectly cromulent word "request" at the ready...

...except for when they do. But hey, details are difficult, they frequently get in the way of righteous snits.
She'll be lightyears to the left of any North Dakota republican you're likely to get, too. Her current opponent included.
Geopolitical context is key.
