You should re-read your post real hard.

Probably not something you should be saying when you clearly didn't read what I wrote very carefully.

quote:

This map favors republicans to an enormous degree

No, it really doesn't. It favors the Republicans, no question, but to "an enormous degree"? I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. Nothing is looking as bad as 2010 or 2014 for the Dems, at least at this point in time. The reality is, none of the states that the Democrats need to hold onto look like lost causes at this point in time. The Republicans are likely to have a net gain in seats in 2018, no question - in fact, if you maybe take the time to re-read my post "real hard," you'll see that I said so already. What I'm pointing out is that, at this point, there's no reason to think that it will be a 2010/2014-level blowout.

quote:

and even a party reeling from internal conflicts will come out of this with seats. The only "purple" state is Nevada.

Nebraska has a Democratic senator - a conservative one, but it's hardly inconceivable that another conservative Democrat could do well there too. Jeff Flake in Arizona is vulernable - he barely beat his Democratic opponent in 2012 in the first place. Bob Corker is rumored to be retiring, leaving a Tennessee seat open. In Texas, Cruz will presumably be running for reelection. I would not view his reelection as a given.

e: Plus, of course, a lot of Democrats in vulnerable districts retired in 2014. The only Dems who may retire in 2018, at this point, are Feinstein (from a safely blue state) and Menendez (which would possibly help the Dems' chances in NJ, really).

Some comedian is doing a podcast parody of Dan Carlin's "Hardcore History," called "Hardcore Game of Thrones." If you've heard Carlin's stuff and know his style, you might get a kick out of it, because it's a pretty funny send-up.

I love this interview

Tim Commerford on the election posted:

Donald Trump doesn't need corporate backing.
Oh, I'll tell you what's going to happen right now. He has united these racist people in America to focus on immigration and at the last minute — mark my words — he's going to drop out and he's going to hand the sword over to Jeb [Bush], and Jeb will get all the supporters that Trump has. It'll probably be another eight years of Bush, which sucks but I don't know that that's any different than eight years of Obama. It's a bunch of bullshit just like, "I'm going to get out of Afghanistan and pull the troops out of Iraq." I'm a conspiracy theorist, so you don't really want to get me started on this.
Yes, I do.
Like, ISIS? I don't believe ISIS is real. ISIS has been an inspiration for a lot of the songs that I wrote with Wakrat. I don't believe that all the different factions in the Middle East have gotten together and said, "OK, we all hate each other and we all hate America, so let's all put on the ISIS uniform and join forces and just become ISIS." That's a bunch of poo poo. I don't believe the Jihadi John beheading video. Go look at those videos and study them, and see if you don't think they're fake.

quote:

Are you following the presidential race?
Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.
Barack?!

Barack.
What the gently caress is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?

Yeah.
What the gently caress?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the gently caress outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
I ain’t really paying much attention.

I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…
Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the gently caress, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no drat Barack.

So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right?
Nope.

Is that why you’re not following it?
No, because it’s just—it doesn’t matter. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do. It doesn’t really make a difference. These are the last years.

But it would be pretty big if we had a first Black president. That would be huge.
I mean, I guess…. What, they gon’ give a dog a bone? There you go. Ooh, we have a Black president now. They should’ve done that poo poo a long time ago, we wouldn’t be in the fuckin’ position we in now. With world war coming up right now. They done hosed this poo poo up then give it to the Black people, “Here you take it. Take my mess.”

Right, exactly.
It’s all a fuckin’ setup. It’s all a setup. All fuckin’ bullshit. All bullshit. I don’t give a gently caress about none of that.

We could have a female president also, Hillary Clinton.
I mean, either way it doesn’t matter. I don’t care. No one person is directly affected by which president, you know, so what does it matter.

Yeah, but the country is.
I guess. The president is a puppet anyway. The president don’t make no drat decisions.

The president…they don’t have that much authority basically?
Nah, never.

But Bush pretty much…
You think Bush is making fuckin’ decisions?

He did, yeah, he hosed up the country.
He act like he making decisions. He could barely speak! He could barely fuckin’ speak!
Can’t be serious. He ain’t making no drat decisions.

Well Barack has a good chance of winning so that might be something.
Good for him, good for him.

ive said before that trump is the dmx of the presidential race in the sense that people try to take the text of trump's speeches and run it through some analysis about how high of a grade level it's at to try to say trump's poo poo is bad but people did the same thing with dmx and look where they are now

Yeah he's not wrong, but as a black man he didn't know the first black man was likely to be elected President and had the gall to suggest(during the primaries) that the president doesn't do poo poo. so somehow this is as bad as saying ISIS is made up and all their videos are faked.
