I really can't fathom how a democrat could not be excited to have the first woman president, especially one as competent as Clinton. Actually I can but it's just so dumb, jeez.

Polling indicates that there are more 'begrudging Trump voters' than there are for Hillary. Trump's base is energized but the rest of the party is certainly not.

Nessus posted:Because a rally doesn't necessarily target votes. Trump can do all the WWE road show touring he wants - and indeed I am sure that if he's hitting the same place, he'll get the same audience. But in fact, WWE usually fills stadiums to the same extent that the Donald seems to be doing, and yet wrestling remains a dumbass muscleman sideshow which does not dominate the media. So are all you really saying that people are energized to go out and vote for hillary? Because that's what I asked about. But please continue to analyze a couple of pics I grabbed off of gis. H.P.

computer parts posted:Wisconsin is projected to grow in population. Minnesota is also projected to grow, but not as much. Its dumb, but its less dumb then not expanding the house. Seriously are their any good resources for why we haven't, because we have over three times what the population was in 1020 and we have same number of reps now as we did then? Also Wisconsin and my state seem to have been having the same population growth.

Why should the media choose between a landslide narrative and a horserace narrative when they can have both?

It's also worth noting that the Hillary camp is throwing some huge GOTV concerts/rallies in swing states this week. I imagine the crowds at those will be at least Trump rally sized

We should just decide elections purely on rally size. Get as many people in your rallies as possible, safety regulations be damned.

If we are posting anecdotes then yes, I can confirm from my from my group of friends, that democrats are energized to vote for Hillary. It has a lot more truth to it than the whole rally from January photo.

The thing about enthusiasm is that a grudgingly cast vote counts the same as a triumphantly cast one.

Seriously are their any good resources for why we haven't, because we have over three times what the population was in 1020 and we have same number of reps now as we did then? Also Wisconsin and my state seem to have been having the same population growth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reapportionment_Act_of_1929 quote:Then, in 1920, the Republicans removed the Democrats from power as the Whigs had done in 1838, taking the presidency and both houses of Congress. Due to increased immigration and a large rural-to-urban shift in population from 1910 to 1920, the new Republican Congress refused to reapportion the House of Representatives with the traditional contiguous, single-member districts stipulations because such a reapportionment would have redistricted many House members out of their districts.[7][8] A reapportionment in 1921 in the traditional fashion would have increased the size of the House to 483 seats, but many members would have lost their seats due to the population shifts, and the House chamber did not have adequate seats for 483 members. The Reapportionment act of 1929 did away with any mention of districts at all. This provided a solution to the problem of threatened incumbents by allowing the political parties in control of the state legislatures to draw districting lines at will and to elect some or all representatives at large. It was because of immigrants. Ah, some things never change.

Hasn't almost every poll shown that Clinton has 90% of the Democrat support? Where is the 'she doesn't appeal to (x)" coming from. She is winning every demographic that isn't white men.

Nessus posted:Are you sure it's even actually "all of them," and not a couple of guys who post a lot, and a few other people who reply to OTHER bernie-or-busters and thus fill up your feed? Because it's the damnedest thing, I see a lot more "people I know yelling at Trump meme posters" myself, and yet I always see the trump meme at the top, and have to scroll down to find my buddy's remark. Sometimes I can't even chime in myself, but I always see the big Trump picture at the top. Well no, not ALL of them I'm sure. But my friends list is small and diverse, it's more than a couple.
