I wonder if anything would change if they had another election =/
Bloom might never have taken off, but there's no reason to risk a horror scenario like that. Warren destroying him was satisfying to watch.
Is the idea that if they jettison Netanyahu the right-wing can form a majority government?
That sounds ... good, I guess.
I mean, Lieberman is insane, but if he's hell-bent on taking down Bibi that's perfectly fine with me.
Can someone who understands other governments explain why it says Netenyahu lacks a majority to form a government, but it doesn't say that Gantz has a majority and can form a government, because that's what the numbers look like as far as my understanding of math goes...
The hypothetical majority of 62 seats would have to be a coalition of i) the centrist Blue and White party, ii) the center-left Labor party, iii) Lieberman's secular right-wing nationalists and iv) the Joint List, which is the (ideologically very left wing) party of the Israeli Arabs. For all too obvious reasons, such a coalition is never going to happen.
Yes, Bibi doesn't have a majority anymore since Lieberman fell out with him, but neither does the other side. Basically, the only stable majority would come out of a Likud/Blue & White coalition (69 out of 120 seats) and that's not going to happen as long as Bibi remains the leader of Likud.
What a lame ass excuse for supporting terrible shit. If Aaron wants to be welcome in LGBTQ circles he needs to do A LOT of work. Like, a lot over many years.
Thank you, I lacked all that insight into the different parties making up the two groups in that initial tweet and this was helpful!
I love how Schock still has to let us know that his political views still "don't align" with the rest of the gay community. basically, im "still a republican and fuck coloreds".
The full post is classy AF. This country wasn't ready for her.
But in time, we will be.
He's a Log Cabin Republican........
Also was his case being dropped due to the Republicans/Trump influence over the justice department?
My dad told me he'll vote for Biden in the primary. This is a huge shock to me since he's been on the Bernie train since 2015. He can't stand Biden and has been begging for someone else to take the lead all year. But he's ready for this to be over and to start the work to beat Trump. He also believes now, based on Super Tuesday results, that Biden has the best chance of beating Trump.
Hope Schock keeps getting laid into when he tries to be a part of the community he doesnt give two shits about. He wants to participate in gay culture without any of the negatives that he has helped inflict. His "apology" is also complete horseshit
IIRC he was also one of the most anti-gay republicans in his short time in office.
Don't worry he'll fit right home with the LCR and Twinks for Trump!
I was so happy to vote for Warren. She was the best candidate in the race. I'm gonna rock my Warren pin for a long, long time.
Sort of -- there just weren't a lot of anti-gay bills to vote on but I think he was a no (or, against gay rights) for all of them.
Elizabeth Warren is, by many magnitudes, the best presidential candidate, and America let her down. I don't know if America will ever properly deal with the deep seeded sexism that is destroying the country.
As for Mr. Schock, he has years of hideous mistakes to make amends for, and this long winded "apology" doesn't seem to indicate he understands that.

I meant trump and biden. Poor bernie does not have a chance I think. He is relatively much better than the other two.
That is my point. Why you want to change an asshole who wants to date his own daughter with someone who want to force himself on children infront of crowds? I mean what is the point?! is it just because biden carries a democratic brand? Bernie makes much more sense to me but I am an outsider (Travel to America a lot tho) so maybe I am missing something.
Voters want to minimize risk to a point. Biden feels much more electable than Bernie, and his embrace of and proximity to Obama is a large reason why.
lol damn.
I totally get not trusting MA with a special election again after what happened last time.
I feel like this just has more to do with them/him not announcing or planning to announce anything VP related. But, also, yes.
Dude I get it but whats the point? Biden is a nasty white cunt like trump. Whats the point of replacing a nasty white guy with another nasty white guy?! I mean you are doing all of this work for nothing?! thats seems weird to me but again I am an outsider maybe there is something that you know that I dont.
That's pretty astonishing -- not the sentiment, but the fact that Joe Biden's social media team came up with it
On the flip side... if we go with this take as their intent, it's a pretty stupid statement. Why mention the Senate in that case? Why not just say we continue to need her voice?
Look, MA has a uhhhhh troubled politics with special Senate elections so I don't blame him lol
Risking a Republican governor to choose a Senator to replace Warren? Yeah no, you want the senate for Democrats? She'll have to remain there for now.
Now that Warren's out of the race and it's down to these two, I can say I think she would have made the best chief executive with a smart wonk-like cabinet. Not infallible of course, but diverse and with many more women.
It's still possible for Biden to get closer to this. I can see a lot of WH veterans trying to get back in of course, but with Biden's sentimentality on full display I can see him going for new younger people like Buttigieg and O'Rourke too. Sanders' cabinet possiblities are still a complete mystery to me.
All Biden has talked about since Tuesday is winning the house and Senate. Because the Biden campaign has been so barebones, it will be easier to incorporate freed-up resources from campaigns that recently dropped out. If Biden somehow ends up recruiting a progressive Megazord to stand beside Voltron, with Warren helping choose the components, that may satisfy enough people who are also ready to take it to Trump.
Through all this it's clear that AOC is learning, and quickly.

This + all of y'all are making me tear up right now. 😢
I will always be with her.
Yes you have no idea what you are talking about if you think Biden and trump are remotely close.
You know how many times the MA supermajority has changed the appointment laws?
I get that they don't want to risk a special election but the wording at the end still worries me.
He needs to throw Progressives a bone.
Losing her Senate seat would suck, but she's also like the perfect "Oliva Branch VP" to Bernie's side of the convention. She's an excellent public speaker and debater, even if she's prone to gaffes, and she's the progressive woman you could definitely put side-by-side with Biden to make a strong ticket.
Not to mention, the supermajority in the state can just tell the governor to screw off. :P
People are far too petrified of another Trump term that they can't take one iota of a risk when choosing the nominee. In a different primary she would have been more competitive but people really want this thing to be over and pick the safest choice.
Warren could get another shot if we lose the WH in 2020 though. She still has a lot of years left under her belt. Though after this performance I don't think she would want to try again.
