That and Bernie successfully pushed the platform further left when negotiating his concession to Hillary.

Hilary being the first woman to be a viable candidate for president, coupled with Bernie getting the lion's share of the young and leftwing voters, has broken Jill Stein's brain even more than it already was.

Jill Stein is exactly what a fringe idiot party like the Greens deserve.


I wonder how few fucks the media will give about Powell giving her advice on how to dodge FOIA requests. Zero. Zero fucks will be given.

If the Democrats don't retake the Senate then not only are we going to see 2+ years of the GOP roadblocking Hilary because gently caress The Clintons, but it's going to be non-stop hearings and impeachment discussion like nothing we've ever seen.

In that case, I can't wait to see how his church visit goes tomorrow. They're already saying the theme will still be "what have you go to lose," which I'm hoping will get responses of "a whole loving lot!"

The only thing that would make this more insane than him being booed constantly is if the hand-picked crowd is almost entirely white.

Good thing the Supreme Court will be able to rule 5-4 on any critical election rated issues and lower courts won't have the final say due to a 4-4 split or anything....

Doesn't help the GOP much when it means a lower court's ruling of "gently caress You, You Racist Fuckers" gets upheld like we just had with NC's voter suppression bullshit.

Though this is also why the right wing brings all their absurd bullshit lawsuits in Texas, since one of the state's many rightwing-as-gently caress judges gets to rule against Obama and get upheld by the 5th circuit and then on to a 4-4 SCOTUS split.

Nate Silver is a man of very small stature, a thin and effeminate man with a soft-sounding voice that sounds almost exactly like the "Mr. New Castrati" voice used by Rush Limbaugh on his program. In fact, Silver could easily be the poster child for the New Castrati in both image and sound. Nate Silver, like most liberal and leftist celebrities and favorites, might be of average intelligence but is surely not the genius he's made out to be. His political analyses are average at best and his projections, at least this year, are extremely biased in favor of the Democrats.

This will never not be my favorite line from that election because just look at Mr All American Man himself.



I mean, I can't unsee him as an awkward sperglord who has whose feature articles read like awkward Socratic dialogues, but at least Nate Silver has a neck.

If you believe that things are tightening again then you also accept that at best Trump can only sustain short term damage from even the worst of gaffes, so why bother burning damaging info when he can just "moderate" for a week and everyone forgets.

And if you don't think things are tightening then why worry about this at all?
