The problem isnāt lack of money for the k-12 schools (not from school to school in CA - overall spending is different), itās economic segregation in housing combined with location based schools.
If you want to solve this, maybe every school, every city, every neighborhood, has to have 30% affordable housing in its area no matter what.
Love how Pelosi yesterday basically sabotaged the two most left leaning and front running Democratic candidates by opining how sheās not for M4A and fuck a far left agenda. When was the last time a Republican speaker turned their back on the base by telling them s/he doesnāt give a shit what they want?
The Democratic leadership are pathetic. Canāt wait til these old people die off and/or get primaried. Itās all out war not only with the GOP, but with these establishment status quo Dems. If we win in 2020, we should primary every fucking one of them!

We donāt have to wait to see the 2020 results for that to happen.

The tax cuts and the Obamacare repeal.
Iāve already donated. The rest of you should too. If nothing else maybe tons of grassroots support will make Nancy consider stop attacking the future of her party.

Do you guys prefer a 100% Biden win or a 70% Trump/30% Warren shot?
In that exact scenario Biden and itās not close. If itās 70% Warren/30% Trump, letās gambol.

M4A will poll poorly in the general election after Rās realize they can run on stuff like ātheyāre turning healthcare into the post office/DMVā. Sheās not wrong. Yes, theyāre all really stupid for saying it out loud.
Biden is nowhere close to a 100% win though. Heās probably worse than Warren in the general frankly.
The more people get to know him the more trash he appears to be. Iām not saying Warren is the best anti Trump candidate in the field, but it certainly isnāt Biden.

I wish I knew of a way to bet against you on that one.
I wouldnāt even want to gamble on these numbers. Better question though is do you prefer Biden at 50/50 or Warren at 90/10? Because thatās closer to reality.

Your worldview is out of date. Itās right there in the numbers:
Youth turnout nearly doubled from 2014-2018 in a midterm. Imagine what itās going to be like with Trump on the ballot. Expecting 18-29 to go from 48% to 65-70% in 2020 is betting on the favorite here.
Also Biden is a garbage candidate whose campaign staff live in terror of him ever speaking spontaneously. Because heās garbage. Itās not that Warren is the best candidate ever (sheās good but not that good) itās that Biden is a trash fire. We nominate him and weāre maybe at 60-40 and thatās vs the worst major party nominee in the history of the country not named Hillary.
Bipartisanship is dead. Centrism is dead. The viability window on their policy solutions closed. If we were going to do the moderate/centrist thing on healthcare or climate the time to do it was 2008. The GOP decided not to cooperate and now neither one actually works. Combine that with the fact that weāre in an unprecedented spot economically where the incoming crash is going to be spectacular and youāve got a powder keg soaked in gasoline.
Read this article without wanting to throw up. If you could read it without feeling at least somewhat nauseous you didnāt really understand itā¦ and that dude is quite literally the best macroecon guy on planet earth so if your opinion is that you know more than him and heās wrong your opinion is worth absolutely nothing.
We are headed, globally, for a cliff. Weāve made a lot of promises to ourselves that simply cannot be kept. We are going to have to make some hard choices about what stays and what goes, and if we donāt make them in 2020 that itself is a choice that will have significant economic and political consequences. Trump is the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Expect things to get super weird from here or get caught totally flat footed.

Just yesterday you thought Warren had decided to raise taxes on the middle class so yeah weāre living in different worlds.
I am more afraid of comparisons to the VA.
The only thing that matters in the presidential race is the electoral college which warren scares the **** out of me. Centrism is dead but those voters wonāt be yet by 2020.
From an actuarial point of view some of them have definitely died, and people tend to vote more as they get olderā¦ and weāre now 4 years further down the timeline. They are losing people on both ends.
The Bern, Iām feelin it
