I think there was only one woman my age there (because her mother brought her), and none of the men seemed like they were past 35.

It's weird to me how many of Trump's supporters desire to feel safe. I mean, that's not how the world works. We're the United States of America, we're the most powerful country that exists. Of course groups are going to take shots at us. If you want a safe existence move somewhere else.

The Clinton opposition research team is the best in the game. We're going to find out so many new terrible things about Trump, he may have to leave the country when the election is over. The closer we get to election day, the higher the likelihood that Trump will be crying himself to sleep each night. By October it's gonna look like he has a bad case of pinkeye.

Please wait until after Cleveland's golden coronation to melt down like Chernobyl, Short Fingered Vulgarian. Hopefully the meltdown will begin during Cleveland, with an ostentatious shitshow where scheduled speakers go off-script and turn on Trump mid-speech, a floor fight over the platform, brawls between protestors and counter-protestors of multiple factions outside and Trump so hopped up on ego during his big speech that he sets a new record for insane poo poo coming out of his mouth. Garnish with half the officeholding Republicans and other major figures going into hiding for the whole week so they don't have to comment on it. But people tend not to talk about the Democratic convention, and that should be good too if just for a change of pace from the All-Trump-All-The-Time show we've got right now. It might be refreshing to actually hear what the Democrats have in store for their next four years of controlling the White House and see where the platform ends up after all this push and pull between Hillary and Bernie. If they can really heal the rift between the establishment and the progressive wing then the convention will be the place to show it off, hopefully in a way that reincorporates the Sanders contingent and also commits Clinton to major positive planks people will want to vote for instead of only voting against Trump.

My guess is Hillary drops the $12 compromise stand on minimum wage entirely, pledges to crack down on Wall Street(with a Bernie chosen person personally in charge of swinging the truncheon), emphasizing the awesomeness of diplomacy via the Iran Deal to assuage worries over the Iraq vote, goes with Bernie's Social Security plan, goes with the public option plan and drug negotiation for the ACA reform, then splits the difference on their college affordability plans. Also if we're going with dream scenarios tells Netanyahu to go gently caress himself in Prime Time, declares a war on crumbling infrastructure, promises a pardon for all nonviolent marijuana offenders, and coopts Newt's moonbase dreams.

Yeah, pretty standard compromise in place which was put in place by my state (Oregon), to be fully implemented by 2020 : $12.50 in rural areas, $13.50 in transitional areas and smaller cities, $14.75 in major cities (Portland, and possibly Eugene-Springfield if current growth estimates hold). It's an experiment to influenc the growth of smaller cities and keep cities like Portland from gentrifying too hard.

Universal $15 as a policy plank seems like the way to appease them, then break their hearts by compromising back to tiered increases. What are they going to do, vote against her in 2018? Sort of like how Obama railed against Health Care mandates and then that became a central part of the ACA.

Sort of like how Obama railed against Health Care mandates and then that became a central part of the ACA. 80% of "the Sanders wing" is perfectly fine with her policies. Of the remaining, the percentage that aren't going to vote for her but would if she bumped up the minimum wage by $3 is probably vanishingly small.

The nice thing is that it's indexed to inflation afterwards, and the rate of increase is actually greater than inflation too.

I don't disagree, but the point of the concession isn't so much the substance but the spectacle. Caving on the tiered minimum wage gives a stronger image of Bernie getting things. It's also something that can easily be modified down the road due to Congress. She's going to be looking for things that give the most visible message of inclusion while impacting her preferred policies the least. Wanamingo posted:Wasn't that mostly because Obama was a Pollyanna who thought he could get the republicans to work with him if he just tried hard enough? I don't know that it was as much believing that Republicans would come along on the magic carpet ride as it was a concession to get the Insurance Companies not to fight it tooth and nail. Like the concession that drug negotiating was off the table.

The ACA makes a lot more sense with a mandate - with an expectation that healthy people buy in - than it would without, assuming the rest of the structure is basically the same. Hence the desperate and successful legal attempt to defend the mandate and therefore the ACA itself. There was a sense - I don't know if this ever got confirmed - during the primary in 08 that Obama was trying to land on Clinton's left on healthcare and miscalculated, which is how he got in the bizarre position of advocating a plan very similar to hers but clearly less workable. That got straightened out once Obama and Clinton no longer had to stress the differences between them.
