Do you support concessions to banks to win elections?

39. Steny Hoyer is a woman of color?

For the umpteenth time, "we should be willing to pass anti-choice/pro-bank/terrible legislation" and "we should be willing to run candidates who can actually win in their districts" are two separate propositions.

Democrats have a very real, structural problem in terms of House of Representatives seats. No matter how much we run up the score in big cities, that won't help us win in rural exurban and suburban districts where not everyone supports taxpayer-funded abortions and BLM.

This dynamic also has twice now surfaced in presidential elections (2000 and 2016).


Without the ability to win Congress and the Presidency, the national Democratic party is utterly worthless.

If you agree with everyone in your coalition on all the major issues, you don't have a big enough coalition.

P.S. Nancy Pelosi won the Speakership of the House thanks to the votes of anti-choice Democrats.
