evilweasel posted:I think this has a lot of merit, but I think you overstate the effect that it had on Obama's relationship with Republicans. However one of the more significant problems he's had has been somewhat poor relationships with Democratic legislators and I think you've got a finger on part of that problem: he's a Democratic president but a lot of those people are not on the good terms with Obama that you'd think they'd be. I was focusing mostly on the republicans but yeah, the effect would be even worse for fellow democrats as he is also hopscotching over them in the democratic hierarchy and he needs established relationships with Dems too. evilweasel posted:However when it comes to Republicans, I think there might be some personal animosity there but it's more driven by their base. Eh, Political theatre is not political reality. Think of it in terms of early arguments about freedom of religion. You can legislate a religion all day but you can never force anyone to believe in it. You can force actions, but not thoughts. Ergo any attempt to legislate belief is unenforceable. If I hold a shindig to promote a bill about expanding veterans benefits that I wrote ... and Hillary Clinton is the only senator who shows up from either party ... And we work together to whip the votes to pass this bill ... That sort of thing has an effect. I now owe a personal debt to Hillary. She did stuff like that for years in the senate. She'd keep an eye out for a republican who wanted to do something good and reach across the aisle to help. And plenty of the praise I mentioned predates 2007 so it could not have been uttered to influence the primary. evilweasel posted:Part of what makes the Tea Party powerful in the Republican party is their willingness to primary Republicans who are not 'pure' enough, ... Those reasonable Republicans cannot afford to let up on the gridlock because someone will jump in and try to primary them if they try. All that is necessary for that is to check off the latest purity test items. The GOP has gone much, much, further than that. Blocking reasonable or even right leaning nominations for low profile jobs that their base has never even heard of ... These win no red meat points. For example, when Ted Cruz slipped up and gave them something like 75 confirmations did the GOP base vilify him? Did they know or care what those nominations were for? No. They did not. The day to day turning of the gears of beurocracy are well below the public's attention threshold. Or anonymous holds. If I am doing something to stroke the base only, not for myself, then I'm not going to do it anonymously. Anonymity literally defeats the point. It's great for advancing a personal vendetta, not for grandstanding. evilweasel posted:She's also not been a political figure since 2008, which matters: Agreed, only 47 senators currently in service were her peers. She would have been stronger in this respect in 2008. But that's enough to stop filibusters of day to day basic stuff. evilweasel posted:I think that once she's a candidate and possibly a president, the base will get just as primed against her as they are against Obama now. Agreed. Such has always been the case. Obama was an aberration because in his case political theatre and political reality intersected. evilweasel posted:I don't think that personal relationships with legislators would have significantly changed the dynamic of gridlock though: Off the top of my head, wasn't Lieberman the deciding vote that stopped the Medicare for all bill? And wasn't his stated reason that Obama liked it to much/screw Obama? Lieberman and Hillary are good friends. You don't think she could have talked him around? Cause I'd love to have the option of enrolling in Medicare as well as private plans. It has the highest customer satisfaction, the largest network, and the addition of my young healthy self to its roles would be a net positive for its finances. It's win win. Although that is getting into what ifs and if wishes were fishes ....

Would that report about Twitter riot antagonists just prove the fact that the violence and destruction is coming from outside sources. This, not negating what the protests were actually about.

Tatum Girlparts posted:Are you loving kidding me? When that dude maced a row of white kids who were cuffed it was universally condemned even by people on the right except for the most terrible shitbags. The general violence was also condemned heavily. People gave way more a poo poo about some trust fund Maoist getting his tent kicked over than this poo poo. Plus it wasn't used as an example for how white people, on the whole, are just filthy monkey people who need to learn their place.

Ron Jeremy posted:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3059840/Anarchists-year-s-violence-Ferguson-active-Baltimore-claim-social-media-experts.html So here's the thing. I first saw this posted elsewhere and I IMMEDIATELY bristled at it because not only was it from TheBlaze, but because it quotes an anonymous source. But I took a moment to scan it and it basically supports an idea that the rioting and looting is the work of outside agitators, and that members of the community are not destroying their own town. That pretty much destroys a lot of arguments people have about the rioting in general. If they abhor the reaction of the community, it should be known that blame is being placed outside the community. But that's, you know, assuming this anonymous source isn't bullshit. Still, should you see this posted in the future- it pretty much undermines whatever argument the person was making who posted it.

Doctor Butts posted:So here's the thing. No, it's one better. See, journalists use social media. When things like riots flare up, they go to do things like reporting. What this article is confirming is that people who used social media to report in ferguson then went to baltimore to do the same thing. Ya know, like journalists do. They typically travel. If anything, Fox's numbers are probably small for reporters who were at both cities. E: THOSE OUTSIDE AGITATORS (like the media and people with cameras) are coming to our town to start poo poo (low level anarchists who are almost always lovely, stupid, and painfully young) when all this fox poo poo is just aggregating beat reporters and poo poo. It's meaningless, and it's anonymously sourced for a reason, because it's garbage of the highest order. cucka fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Apr 29, 2015 |
