Trump's concession speech will be a stream-of-consciousness list of people who betrayed the Trumpenreich starting from Crooked Hillary and ending with The American voting public.

so when is hillary supposed to run to the center to appeal to moderates or something?

because it looks like they're all jumping on board anyway without hillary actually having to do anything to change any positions.

If you want to pretend that she's totally running to the center and betraying us all, you can watch some Young Turks videos on her. You can listen raptly as they whine that she's no better than Trump and how Jill Stein is a valid option in November.

Long before I was a Hillary supporter, and while I was extremely far to the left, I still hate hate hated Cenk Uygar. He embodies the worst parts of liberal male anchorship along with Chris Matthews and Bill Maher who will literally just talk the loudest in the room over everybody else because they know that they are right and everyone else should just be a wall for them to echo off of. Chris Matthews has calmed down a bit, but Bill and Cenk are still the dudes I want to shove into trash cans. They use hateful humor to make pretty much every point, I support independent media but I could barely make it through clips of the Young Turks before having to shut it off. Doesn't sound like it's gotten much better.

Also, not like there's any way to prove this, but seeing the way he treats women on his show, I bet he's uncomfortable with Hillary because she would be a woman in power. Supporting Jill Stein is easy because she's not actually going to win. An actual chance of a female commander-in-chief makes a lot of people wary, including leftists.

Cenk probably hates Hillary because outside of her time as SoS she's always called the armenian genocide an actual genocide.

No, the crazy thing is that Cenk is being one of the relatively sane ones with regard to Hillary. He thinks that you should probably vote for her, but if you want to vote for Jill Stein that's also perfectly valid.

Cenk doesn't support Hillary so much as Cenk supports still having a network in two months

The bernouts are a relatively small portion of the Democratic electorate and as much as Cenk drank the koolade he's not so stupid that he can't see who pays the bills

I toxxed for her back during the primaries. :coal:

The event that made me toxx was some forum run by BLM that Hillary and Bernie (and MO'M!) went to, and Hillary was able to actually have conversations, and any statement longer than 10 seconds was just a stump speech from Bernie.

edit: which is pretty much how every debate went as well.

I am pretty sure that Hillary's going to win barring some kind of black swan event of unprecedented magnitude, but I maintain the right to :derp: over continued Republican obstructionism in Congress, the 2018 midterms, 2020, and the idea that Trump isn't going to be defeated thoroughly enough to completely discredit his platform in the eyes of the (white) public.

I've been pretty good about not arzying so far, but the FBI release today has me feeling pretty concerned about the effect on HRC's poll numbers. They're almost definitely going to take a hit from this, given how people responded to the Clinton Foundation, and she doesn't have much wiggle room left.

The debates can't come fast enough.

My whole view on the election currently: I'm cautiously optimistic that Hillary will win. Senate will probably end up 50-50, and it's unlikely the dems take the house. Several high profile republicans are either distancing themselves or staying silent on Trump now, like with McCain saying "VOTE FOR ME TO BE A CHECK ON CLINTON", though the dems will likely hammer him on his Trump support. Reince had to stay silent after the anti-immigration speech, because he knows all that speech did was give the democrats ammo. We also haven't even seen the polls because of that speech yet, and gently caress the daily trackers. While CS like to go full throat Arzy on it, I'm still a bit uneasy that Trump has a lot of support (and yes, I understand his support hasn't gone up, only Hillary's has gone down, but the fuckton of undecideds is why I'm uneasy).

Basically, tl;dr: Hillary is almost certain to win, but we shouldn't rest on our laurels.

Yeah, McCain openly predicting a Clinton victory was a message to voters alienated by Trump who are thinking of staying home in November and who need to be motivated to go in and vote a split ticket. Many conservatives who are disgusted by Trump still fear a Clinton presidency so I think we'll see similar strategies used by Republicans in other states. It's a delicate thing to publicly moot a Trump loss without angering Trumpists who would look at it as a betrayal, particularly when Dems point it out, although not as bad as disendorsement and it is coming after the primary so who else are they going to vote for?

La grandiosa abuela has a plan to save us from all the Shkrelis and the Mylans:

quote:

Here's the major idea: As president, Clinton would create a task force of regulators with the power to decide whether price increases on old, essential medicines and devices were reasonable given product improvements and the amount of competition in the market. If not, the task force would have the power to mete out punishments to companies that were trying to profiteer, potentially with fines.
