If I'm not mistaken Democratic Congressional and Senate candidates have been receiving the majority of votes since at least 2008 and it hasn't caused any movement yet, so I don't think anything's going to happen until at least the redistricting in 2020.

Yeah but it takes time for cases to move through the courts, they just took on a gerrymandering case for the next session: http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2016/06/virginia-redistricting-supreme-court-223946

Just because something is the highest of US history doesn't make it 'good'. Much like if I find the tastiest looking pile of poo poo to eat, I'm still eating poo poo. Your demographic of 'eligible electorate' is essentially at its core a racist demographic because it excludes a large number of people who are felons. Since the system of law is both responsible for the more visible racism in the US and also responsible for people becoming a felon because those laws are unfairly applied to minorities.
I didn't say it was good - I agree that voter turnout, eligibility and registration are huge problems for the US.

What I said was that throwing out that 9% number is misleading because it's not placing it into context. Americans weren't exceptionally duped or apathetic this year. This is our unfortunate normal level of disenfranchisement.

Didn't say they shouldn't be able to go out. I was mostly being hyperbolic I get having to bring kids to like the Grocery stores and on planes and poo poo. Annoying but I do understand that much.

But seriously why bring a baby to a political rally lol. That's probably not even good for the kid's ears and hearing with how loud they can get.

If Trump is losing his marbles already, I'm really looking forward to see how insane it gets in a couple of months, when the campaigning stress starts hitting, he isn't getting any sleep and constantly on amphetamines/coke.

So, what sort of October surprise should we be expecting?

If Trump continues on as he has been (and there's no reason to think that he won't), someone would have to release something huge as a last minute hail mary.

Whether or not it's real doesn't make a difference. Between the stance wikileaks has taken, decades of Republican fear mongering/opposition research and the alt-right, someone's going to release something to try and salvage this for Trump.

The only thing I could see to interrupt this cycle-- and the worrisome possibility that gerrymandering previously will lead to Republican dominance of statehouses even in 2020-- is a Supreme Court decision from a 5-4 or 6-3 liberal court that would declare political gerrymandering unconstitutional, or at least requiring some of the criteria reflected in many states such as compactness, contiguity, and communities of interest.

Look it's weird how silent Ivanka has been about this. I mean. People have questions, valid questions and I'm not trying to imply anything I just think it's weird how she hasn't said anything It just seems off to me so I can see reasons for people to have questions about her.

Eh, babies gonna cry. Granted, if I'm in a nice restaurant or a movie theater I might frown upon the parents' decision to bring an infant along but it isn't like normal people are going to resent someone at the zoo or in the park (or at a crowd event) whose baby gets freaked out by the noise or gets angry about the heat or just shits itself or gets hungry.

Dr. FAUXTON and I aren't having kids because we like to travel and go camping and stuff and aren't really into the childraising thing given how we've seen our friends and family go through it, but it isn't like we'd be like "loving BREEDERS AND THEIR CROTCHSPAWN UGH" if someone's kid got noisy. It's like Florida - nice when you're not living there.
