Of course they are, she's a woman.
This will probably end up hurting Le Pen. I wonder how the alt right feels about this since they were complaining about a call macron got from obama yesterday.

Last week of the first 100 days and the votes on federal spending seem to matter quite a bit by most reasonable estimates... Next week might be a bit important.

I never understood these guys who think NYC is so dangerous, the city's safer than it's ever been.
You know exactly why Jeff Sessions thinks "inner cities" are dangerous.
The people that they're trying to convince with these comments have never been to NYC and assume it's a crime-ridden hellscape just like in the early 90s
I do and it's fucking horrible.
You mean the 70's. Whenever old guy in NYC talk about the days of crime, they always talk about the 70's. The mayors who came after that did a lot to fix the issues the city had, Giuliani just happened to come into power as those changes finally finished bearing fruit.

Sessions does not understand what kind is actually going on in the country. He probably gets his information from Fox News.

This is dumb idea. The Democrats better not fall for this.
We laughed at it already. It just goes to show how unpopular the wall is in Congress. No one but Trump really wants it because anyone who votes for it is DOA come reelection.

The Democrats have nothing to lose by just saying no to everything
The current GOP is stuck in a timewarp with many of their policies, including re-emphasis in the war on drugs and this new emphasis on the war on gangs. Only Chicago has a big problem right now.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Right. Playing that exact game won the republicans control of the entire government. No reason for democrats to play nice.

They've stopped using Chicago as an example since the mayor told them to bring on the help. They don't actually want to do anything about it, just scare their constituents into fearing minorities/immigrants and despising city dwellers.
Especially when playing nice would give Trump his wall and undercut any real attacks the Dems might be able to make in 2020. It just makes no sense for them to take this deal.
Support for weed legalization is at a point where the numbers say "holy crap just get on board". It'll make young while male voters happy for a while, at least
I believe the correct slur is ctrl-left
This makes no strategic sense. Obamacare actually exists and if it's not funded properly the WH and GOP own that. Trying to make it a hostage is not going to play well, not even with moderate GOP Congress people.

It will be a net boost for the entire country, it will free up law enforcement to focus on other more important issues, provide tax revenue and stop schools from unfairly demonizing it. Fact based Drug education will instill some trust into the curriculum.
Democrats are slowly coming around to it, meanwhile Republicans just approved someone who is wholly against it, and fighting against a version of Marijuana that does not exist.
Looks like it's just political theater to make it seem like they are still trying.
Hmm, I think I can get on board with that.
True, but actual honest to goodness compromise, I think should still not be ignored.
So far, none has come up though.

Sessions has spouted this bullshit before:
Sessionss first comments as attorney general inflated U.S. crime problem

An worthwhile take on Sanders and the dangers of propping up anti-abortion democrats as part of the 50 State strategy (specifically as it pertains to state governments rather than federal) from fromer Action Vice President for the National Organization for Women (NOW) Erin Matson:

Sort of a reach on Perriello who's been very clear in his beliefs and regret on Stupak.

This is not a problem that's suddenly unique to Sanders, though? I've read time and time again that we need to accept folks like Joe Manchin but now Bernie is campaigning with a pro-lifer and it's dangerous?
It won't.
People need to deal with it unless they're cool with the alternative of these seats never budging for Democrats and the country stay gridlocked without progress.
We literally spent the past 2 pages talking about how its the juxtaposition of this with the Ossoff comments that was the problem. Read. Then post.

Basically. I'm not overly concerned with the positions of one candidate, so much as the patterns occurring at national strategic levels.

I was responding to a post they linked about using anti-abortion democrats as part of a 50 state strategy, so maybe you should read and then post?
Sorry, phone cut off the giant wall of text so context was missing.
Shes not wrong about Bernie wanting control and needing to be oppossd. Shes not wrong about States being the actual battlegrounds. But shes wrong about the danger prolifers pose, because there just arent enough in the Dems to allow damage to be caused at a systemic level.

It's complicated.
The difficult part is when the canidate does not reflect what the constituents actually want. The causes of this vary, and can range from out-sized influence, like from organizations like the NRA, to the influence of 'The National Platform' to local concerns and influencers like a large corporation that resides in a district or a local good that is exported.
Figuring out a way to walk that tightrope is critical to a 50 state strategy.

Well Sanders is also calling them progressives...
Not that Mello is or isn't but no one is calling Manchin a progressive
I do think compromising repeatedly on abortion is dangerous because abortion is much more likely to go the way of the dodo long before say single player arrives...

LOL! Proceed counselor.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOVERNING"
AKA "What are you, stupid?"
Even Mitch is probably like smh
I can just imagine the GOP members that have been part of the talks over the funding are banging their heads against the wall that the WH decided to stick their nose in it.
He probably gave a blank stare before walking away.
