And I might as well post this, since I'm going down memory lane and all. Boosted_C5 posted:On Nov. 7th we shall rise from the shadows. We are the chosen few who will be tasked with repopulating D&D. In case anyone else didn't know this was his schtick and he gets burned every time but can't resist doing it again.

Luckily his schtick is also loving off forever while polls are bad so we shouldn't see too much more of him. It's like the general electorate itself probated him

Zas posted:we'd get more participation if an account wasn't on the line. lower stakes I know, but even though I'm really confident about the PV margins I feel like the state polling + the uncertainty of GOTV and turnout makes it too soon to predict the EC. Sorry, I wasn't clear- I was thinking that each participant would have to specify an EV margin and that EV margin couldn't be picked by anyone else. Sort of a Price is Right situation.

Source, for anyone curious: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/upshot/presidential-polls-forecast.html I remember the Romney one from 2012, and comparing the two really showed how hosed Trump is: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/11/02/us/politics/paths-to-the-white-house.html  Romney had one path if Obama won Florida. Trump doesn't have that, it's just a dead end.

If that happens then they'll have to double down on the toddler tantrum for at least another 4-8 years What makes you think she's going to appoint a more liberal judge? She'll probably appoint a centrist

I once made a hilarious joke about Arkane being a ghost that inhabits a netherworld that touches our world only when Mitt Romney gets a good poll but I was probated for it because Joementum had it out for me as a mod for some reason. Edit: you know I haven't actually been probated since he stopped being a mod. Hmm. Ogmius815 has issued a correction as of 16:24 on Aug 6, 2016 |

It also seems to have coincided with the slow relaxation of D&D's posting culture. Call outs and cheerleading seem mostly accepted these days.

Hillary is going to gently caress the Republicans in every way she can, which will be kind of limited given how Congress is going to be. So Supreme Court appointments it is! And she will use them with extreme vindictiveness and cunning. At least that's my hope!

If you're going to hold someone's political affiliation when they were a teenager against them you can just gently caress right off, because that it's just idiotic.

The other part is that while she was busy trying to conduct diplomatic work on behalf of Obama the Republicans were busy interfering by pulling poo poo like getting Netanyahu to come talk poo poo about Obama in the House or promising that as soon as they took the White House they'd nuke Iran.

The same dipshits who've spent the last twenty years trying to ensure that the nightmare scenario of a Hillary Clinton presidency doesn't come to pass are still going to be in Congress when she's president. I'm sure she'll be looking to reconcile with them and listen to what they have to say.

I do think there's some stuff like infrastructure that someone of her overall leanings could have made some bipartian headway with, given a reasonable congress, but there isn't going to be a reasonable congress. Hillary Clinton is a very left wing person by American standards who took from her struggles in Arkansas and Washington that the best way to get things done was through incrementalism. Remember that Hillary and Bill came into office and tried to get gays the ability to openly serve in the military and pass universal health care. The resulting backlash got them as far as Don't Ask Don't Tell and stuck them with DOMA, while comprehensive health care reform was shelved for another 16 years. It's also what lead to the Clintons going along with Welfare Reform. Meanwhile she found that she could get bits and pieces of her original health care plan through congress in a piecemeal fashion. She found that this method of getting drips and drabs of her true agenda passed worked much better than pushing it all at once. Meanwhile she stayed on the left edge of the party as the party itself moves leftward. You can absolutely disagree with the Clintons' actions and strategy, but there is very, very little to suggest they aren't themselves actually personally on the deep blue end of the national spectrum. So Hillary is going to get her agenda pushed as far as she thinks she can, even if it means working with a Republican here or there. Because she realizes that they're not a monolithic block of assholes and individually tend to have at least one issue where they've evolved past the political acumen of the Middle Ages. Those who can not be made useful idiots shall get the fire. Fire and Blood. Gyges has issued a correction as of 22:10 on Aug 7, 2016 |
