25. Many of you are duped

into RW talking points and literally filling in blanks and making inferences as fact in support of some agenda. Boggles the mind.

Simpson-Bowles was a commission that generated a document that was rejected. Support of a committee to look at the deficit and make recommendations then suddenly gets juxtaposed into rote support of the rejected recommendations, which is nothing more than pure spin.

I agree that the party needs to move more and more left but that requires more progressives in congress and that is the essence of the problem. Nancy Pelosi is not my congressperson, Chakah Fattah is, so I am not as personally wrapped up in her as you appear to be.
