The grassroots insurgency to reform the Democratic Party has arrived

I say the insurgency in the Democratic Party has arrived because the neoliberals are no longer ignoring it. They are now slandering it.

Damn Furriners might thwart Trump's agenda, and why this isn't something to celebrate
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sat, 04/01/2017 - 12:08pmThe failure of the Republicans to kill Obamacare, and eliminate health insurance for tens of millions of poor Trump supporters, is going to cause some serious problems for Republican plans to make massive tax cuts for the wealthy.
However, that might not be the primary obstacle to Trump's agenda.

It doesn't look like anything to me
Submitted by CS in AZ on Fri, 03/31/2017 - 4:19pmMy spouse and I recently watched the new HBO version of Westworld. My headline is a quote from the show. It is what the "robots" say whenever they are confronted with any form of facts, information, or piece of reality that they are programmed to ignore. For them, nothing outside the park exists, so if you show one of them a picture of Times Square, for example, they will look at the photo and say "It doesn't look like anything to me." Then they immediately forget it.

New advert
Submitted by Robyn on Fri, 03/31/2017 - 2:20pmProctor & Gamble, through its Vicks brand, has opened a new Asian campaign with a spot focusing on an orphaned Indian girl and the woman who adopted her. Centered around the tagline "Touch of Care," I believe it should touch your heart.
About Us
Submitted by PriceRip on Fri, 03/31/2017 - 1:04pmA few minutes ago I was thinking about the next article I would like to write. As I was discussing the idea (yes I talk to myself when I think I am alone) I noticed something a bit odd. There doesn't seem to be a simple way for someone (not part of this community) to read an about us statement. Or, maybe I am not very observant and sound like an idiot.
Democrats Against Universal Health Care
Submitted by gjohnsit on Thu, 03/30/2017 - 6:00pmThe failure of Trumpcare might cause you to think that Democrats might use the chaos to push for single-payer health care.
You would be wrong.
It's past time to stop blaming Republicans for the fact that we are the only developed nation without universal health care. The problem is the Democrats.
