Barudak posted:My great grandmother, rest her soul, lived to be at least a hundred and moved from Poland when she was a child. She liked that my grandfather married a Lebanese woman because she wasn't white and so felt like she could trust her. By the time she died people at the home didn't really get why she wanted somebody with an ethnic, hopefully polish, name to help her over names like ,Smith. Hated the Russians to the core though and would get furious if you mentioned any polish food was similar to a Russian one.

Boon posted:- In Ohio, incumbent Republican Rob Portman faces a tough challenge against former Governor Ted Strickland. Portman isn't exactly loved and Ohio currently favors Democratic chances with a strong presidential turnout, however, Kasich on the ticket can change all of that and may well lead to Ohio going R. The assumption here is that Kasich will not be the nominee and will not be chosen for VP and Ohio elects Strickland. Perhaps a bad assumption considering what appears to be a favorable pairing of Trump and Kasich. In this magical hyperpartisan world we live in, with its national and social media circuses, the Favourite Son thing isn't really a thing anymore. If Kasich is at the top of the ticket (he won't), maybe there might be an appreciable effect, but if he's the VP nom, it's not going to cause much of any movement in Ohio. It's all down to turnout instead of swing voters now, basically, can the Democrats turn out enough of their constituency to win.

Crabtree posted:Florida is also one of the largest parts of the beef industry as its year long warm weather and plentiful feed and thus safe to let cows make more cows year round. Any loss of land in that area is an immediate hit to some of the east coast's food production, but hey. gently caress if Rubio cares about his own home turf. The feed quality for those cows is absolute garbage, resulting in the beef being awful compared to the Midwest. I want to say that FL beef is the stuff that gets ground up and sold for fast food joints but I'm phone posting and can't validate that.

Yeah if Kasich were the nominee (somehow) Ohio would certainly go R according to the polling data out there. That said, not sure how that translates to the VP slot, but Ohio is close enough that it could be decisive.

Since i dont want my beloved country get thrown completely in the mud I would like to point out that Sweden was one of the few that atleast tried during the refugee crisis. We have hade a growing racist party in your country for some time now tho and they share one large thing with Trump that I cant wrap my head around. Both can do and say absolutly insane things but never get called on it. And not just the racist thing, everything just seem to bounce of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_migrant_crisis#/media/File:Map_of_the_European_Migrant_Crisis_2015.png

It's also much easier/cheaper/tastier to get leaner cuts of chicken than beef. Beef has a ton of bad fats.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Hillary's turnout of black voters for the primary has been eye-popping. Primaries are not a reflection of a general election but all signs point to her being about as large of a draw as Obama. The fact that her most likely opponent is the worst racist candidate since George Wallace will help too. but she isn't though. The turnout is very low compared to 08 but she is capturing a high percentage of black voters.

Hey I have a (stupid/obvious)question related to the Trump supporter hitting the protester. Isn't this an easy 1st amendment and assault case? I recall noted poo poo/hate group the Westboro Baptist Church would would provoke people and live off settlements. Seems like the ACLU has an easy win both against the assaulter, the police for not doing their job, maybe Trump himself. Trump also said he would pay for legal fees. I hope his more stupid supporters try getting help and get told to gently caress off.

Rhesus Pieces posted:https://twitter.com/trymainelee/status/708310127430860800 This is why I think that this election needs to be more than just a simple win, it needs to be an outright repudiation and rejection of the values that Trump represents. People should be hitting the streets not just to rally for their candidates but to rally against Trump. Anything else keeps the dogwhistle oiled and polished. A Winner is Jew posted:Not gona lie, fishmech on a city council would be hilarious to behold. I think he and I live in the same area. That's not a guarantee that I'd vote for him or anything.

Trump picking Carson for VP would give him the "See I'm not racist" retort. I think most people would see through it, but it would give some deniability with the "I'm not racist but..." type of white voters.

Once she finishes off Bernie in the next month or so and Obama hooks OFA up to the Clinton Machine to form political Voltron, I don't think that candidate Trump will have even a ghost of a chance. This is very funny. I'm seeing Political Voltron gearing up to fight the Chaos Candidate, as Liar Ted and Little Marco fall over in the background.

Maybe the GOP will eventually realize that just having Blacks/Hispanics/Women on the ticket or in debates doesn't mean poo poo if you aren't at least attempting to pretend that you care about their issues with your policies.

Carson as VP wouldn't be to increase his standing with black people, it would be to attract the Romney voters to the polls. It would be to make the Thomas Friedman reading suburban dads of the country say "Well, he must not be so bad and racist if he picked a black man as his VP, and such a well-spoken one at that!"
