Yes, the one who couldn't win a primary in her own party despite a $55 MILLION dollar advantage—much of it from a PAC that would prefer to see the Republican win anyway—is the more "electable" one, the one who can really reach voters. That is a thing people believe.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

I've been in one of the deepest depressions I've had in a long time for the last month or two, so I'm pretty sensitive right now. That said, I think it's a dick move that I was scheduled the wrong hours today and wasn't given the option to attend today's lunch for my 10 year anniversary.

What does the establishment do if socialism manages not only to overcome the obstacle of its branding, but becomes a political *asset*? What if people *want* it? What if it’s smug satisfied centrism that is the political liability? Whatever else, it’s gonna make Bill Maher’s head pop like a zit.
