Howard Dean would’ve won in 2004. (Speculation, obviously, but I do think Dems should be talking more about that time they chose “the electable” candidate and failed to unseat a flailing GWB.) content.time.com/time/magazine/…
Also, has anyone written the definitive account of “the scream” episode. Why was that one moment able to derail him? What was going on behind the scenes? Cause it really was not enough to change voters’ minds, was it?
A few responses have mentioned this video. Interesting stuff. Thanks for the heads up!

FFS. Can someone please contact the folks at PBS and give them a tutorial on the Overton Window?
For a good primer on Buchanan's noxious, antisemitism and racism, read this. thebaffler.com/salvos/the-yea…
What part of the word "public" is incomprehensible to the people at "Public Broadcasting?" How can you give a platform to someone who believes that a large swath of the people who comprise the American public (and whose tax money is paying his salary) are a danger to the country?

Good for Joe Walsh for speaking his anti-Trump truth, yadda yadda, but I have a question about one perplexing claim he makes. He says Weld is a moderate, but Trump also needs a challenge from the right. What lies to Trump's right that isn't worse Trump?
nytimes.com/2019/08/14/opi…
Joe raises the issue of deficits and spending in his piece. But Weld is a traditional Republican on deficits. No difference there.

Joe also touts free trade vs. Trump's tariffs. But again, Weld is with him on that as well.
Does Joe have in mind foreign policy? As in, Weld seems more invested in the bipartisan, vaguely neocon foreign policy consensus of the early 2000s? If so, does that mean "further right than Trump" means even more anti-UN and isolationist?

The material just writes itself.
And also, thanks to KDKA for providing this important fact check.
And for those who don’t know, I grew up in a small coal mining town 80 miles east of Pittsburgh. I come by that snark honestly.

 “It’s About Time!”
by @DickieArmour


You have 24 hours a day.

But how do you spend your time?

This #tweetstorm is a wake up call.

It’s about time, and how you spend it.

#Time #TimeManagement #24Hours #itsabouttime
2.
 Let’s assume each day begins and ends at midnight.

Let’s assume we work for 10 hours a day, 5 days a week.

That leaves 14 hours.

We sleep for 8 hours a night.
3.
 That’s leaves 6 hours every week day.

And 16 hours each Saturday and Sunday.

That’s 6 x 5 = 30 hours Mon - Fri + 32 hours at the weekend.



A total of 62 hours a week, of your time to spend.

In 2001, I #failed 4 core science classes in #medicalschool. I didn’t go to class, I stayed up late at night reading the topics in every book I could possibly find. I barely passed my other courses. I couldn’t believe NEone passed..
1/
I had to go before the review and promotions committee and beg for a chance to try again. I don’t for the life of me see why they gave me the chance...

I can say, I tried hard, I just wasn’t smart about it.

In the summer before restarting m1, I came up with a plan..
2/
I approached each of the top 10% in the class I was now leaving. I asked them how they did it, down to the details on brands of pens, where they sat in class, what they ate, and when they went to bed.

Guess what...they were pretty uniform in their methods.

Joe Biden’s anti-choice impulses put him out of touch with not just Democrats, but Americans generally. It’s more evidence that he’s not the “electable” candidate. salon.com/2019/06/06/how…
For Biden’s Democratic opponents, his support of the Hyde amendment helps them emphasize his two biggest weaknesses: His anti-feminist impulses and his economic conservatism.
At every turn, Biden has gone as far to the right on reproductive rights issues as he can in the Democratic Party. This isn’t just about abortion, but also contraception.

I will never stop retweeting this
I do not call myself a professional writer because the payment I get for my writing averages to less than a cent a day. I HAVE to have another job (50-55 hrs a week including commute). I'm also an activist. I'm also mentally ill and, at this moment, unmedicated. Thread.
I'm lucky if I can put down 500 words a week beyond what I get paid for. The fact that I want to write so badly but don't have the time or energy to do so also negatively affects my ability to write; blah blah negative feedback loop.
