Oh no, the country is actually moving in a direction because we don't have to play chicken with the federal budget like clockwork every 6 months or watch a melted man read a Dr Seuss book and miss the moral of the story. How boring.

Difference to me seems Broadrick is being used as a political prop, and does have some agency in that, but Conway is providing professional representation and a more sinister participant.

She, as a fully grown adult woman, has all the agency and mental capacity to not stand on a stage with a man who has admitted to sexual assault. It comes off as hypocrisy at best to accuse one man of rape while standing next to one who openly admitted it.

I kind of hate you. Like I really really hate you and your smug as poo poo, "enlightened", pseudo-intellectual apathy. I'm a disabled white man in NC who spends hundreds of hours a year volunteering for the rights of people with I/DD, mental illness, and substance use disorders. While I don't have any MH issues other than run of the mill depression and anxiety or substance abuse, I'm in a wheelchair and I deal with not agonizing but unrelenting physical pain basically 24/7. I go up and down the road, even sometimes across the country, trying to educate people and make a difference, especially with regards to Medicaid, disability, would-be taxpayers with disabilities, and the cycle of institutionalized forced poverty and professional volunteerism for people with disabilities who otherwise have the qualifications and desire to make money and pay taxes just like anyone else. I testified in front of a Medicaid Reform Legislative Advisory Panel practically BEGGING them to not privatize Medicaid. They're probably still gonna do it and even if they don't I'm heavily involved in the public service delivery system and I see it becoming more and more corporate. I see people being so full of poo poo who I know have more power than I probably ever will. I'm stuck in a (currently, it's not irrevocable like Oklahoma or something) red state where I see people getting hosed beyond belief by the people THEY PUT IN OFFICE and try to educate them but they're still Trumpers no matter how much I try to reach them. I have spent hours upon hours over years trying,, probably in vain, to make some modicum of a difference for me, for people stigmatized by mental illness and addiction, for people with disabilities who have to fear being shoved in a nursing home in their 20's and 30's because the government doesn't want to bother dealing with other solutions even though it's more ethical AND saves money. Guess what? I'm probably never going to make a difference here. I'm probably going to eventually GTFO and move somewhere more progressive, but dammit, at least I'm trying. The one thing I want to be remembered for when I die more than anything else is that I tried to make the world a better place even on some small level. And this is just the stuff I directly live, let alone the horrors I'm aware of that I'm blessed enough to not have lived experience in but still find myself sickened by and wishing I could change.

So from someone who probably has more justification than you to say gently caress it and stop caring, get over yourself and kiss my rear end. I apologize for the meltdown, thread, but that really touched a nerve. Carry on.

I'm gonna say nice meltdown, but I mean the nice unironically.

This was a good post.

Game Change is a good one for 2008 (bonus because it was made into a movie where Julianne Moore makes Sarah Palin relatable and sympathetic to an extent) and for 2012 the RNC published after-action report that's chock-full of good advice on how to win national elections (that was promptly ignored this cycle :allears:).

I distinctly remember in 2008 that there were supposedly film crews following both campaigns around (or all three at one point, McCain, Clinton, and Obama) for the purpose of making documentaries about them. And I've never seen anything that came of that. :(

He's literally mentally ill. There's something a recapper on Television Without Pity wrote, in an article about The Apprentice, appropriately, about a narcissistic contestant who sorted everything people said and did into whether it felt good or bad to her. Things that made her feel bad were lies said by bad people, no matter what. Things that made her feel bad got her so upset her ears closed up and she didn't even hear what the person was actually saying, she just dwelled on how bad it was until the talking stopped.

That's where Trump's bubble comes from. He doesn't have any rational, objective thoughts at all. Even normal rear end in a top hat rear end-covering stuff like "people will attack me" is impossible for his brain to process, because it makes him feel bad.
