And this is exactly what they're going to do if they can get the recalictrant Paultards on board (or con the Dems into not being just as obstructionist, which puts them in a bad place, but hey Reps are in charge now its Dems turn to be the party of no).

This is also why I think they'll leave the filibuster alone in the Senate. They a) need a check on the crazies in their own party and b) need someone to blame for checking them

You are flat loving wrong. Trump is already bad, really bad. His policy decisions from here on out is just icing on the racist cake. Even if he ushered in full communism or 1000 years of liberal darkness by cloning RBG and stacking the court with her immortal presence. 50 million people is this country said it is ok to call Mexicans criminals, and 'Blacks are lazy' and brag about sexual assault and threaten our allies with abandonment, and advocate war crimes. All of this is ok if you tell me I'm going to have a job, or your opponent is Hillary Clinton. That is horrific.

dude, you've never voted for someone who had platforms you disagreed with? i voted for obama in 2012. does that mean i tacitly support extra judicial killings, domestic spying, bailing out banks, refusing to prosecute white collar crime, keeping gitmo open, and staffing the government with Goldman Sachs employees? gently caress no.

A Nazi on the street is not interested in debating you. A Nazi on the forums isn't interested in debating you in good faith. If you want to debate some Nazis, why don't you go to Stormfront and make your case for inclusiveness so you can all logically debate the merits of White Nationalism and the Evil Jew.

Being a Nazi bigot is a good thing. Normalizing their stupid murderous rhetoric is part of why we're in the situation we're in right now.

Trump's base is midwestern blue collar whites. McConnell is from Kentucky.

Trump is more popular (at least for now) in Kentucky than any Republican in the commonwealth

There were counties with 150-year democratic voting streaks, that had defied republicans ranging from George W. Bush to Ronald Reagan to Dwight Eisenhower to Teddy Roosevelt, that had never voted for McConnell or any statewide Republican either. Trump won those counties in massive landslides

Trump is not only popular here, but uniquely so.

Actually, yes, you did support all of those things that Obama did. And I did when I voted for him too. You do not get to pick the parts of the candidate you vote for, you vote for the whole thing and you live with your choices. The people who saw Trump's racism, understood it as so and voted for him despite it are worse than the people who thought he was just showing off for the cameras, or didn't care, or whatever.

i'm talking about a national ban on abortion and making women attend funerals for their dead babies, as the op mentioned.

i mention wall street because its in the northeast, where i'm originally from. people out there are fiscally rear end in a top hat conservatives but they're also considerably liberal in terms of social policy (non-racial social policy, mind you). they don't want trump and they despise evangelical republican bullshit like a national ban on abortion that would also affect them.

abortion rights will be stripped at the state level, in poor rural states. that's all i'm saying. there is no fear of a national abortion ban because that poo poo don't fly.

The vice president who wants that just got elected. They were not shy about not liking abortion this year.

'non-racial social policy' boils down to 'stuff I actually care about', aka, Wall Street is far more favorable to gay rights and gay marriage because rich gay white dudes exist. A national abortion ban would do as much to mess with them as would the state erosion of Roe v. Wade over the past decade, aka, gently caress all. They can get their abortions if they want them or need them. Caring about a national abortion ban means caring about the welfare of people poorer than them, and ahahahahahahahaha this is loving Wall Street.

Also, Wall Street didn't want Trump either, and here we are, so.

The Dems not talking about the GOP stealing the SCOTUS seat is something that should've been brought up constantly during the election because holy poo poo how do you not constantly use something so major as a constantly reminder that the GOP cannot be loving trusted to do their jobs.

If Trump or his advisors want to give any sort of Dem insurgency a but blown Garland's name will on his short list of nominees. Doesn't matter if he has zero intent to re-nominate Garland. The media would grab it and run with "Trump attempting to be a uniter" or some other flowery poo poo and when Trump picks Arch-Scalia it'll just make the Dems look a little worse if they try to cause problems since the narrative would be that Trump gave Garland fair consideration.

mcmagic posted:

Yeah Trump only got 63% of the vote in Kentucky.


Thanks. Also, where the hell has this messaging been for the last year. Would've been easier if Garland wasn't such a boring nominee. Probably Obama's biggest failure as president.

His worst pick is Comey. It's not even close.

Even if we ignore the original press conference where Comey made his language as negative as possible about Clinton, Comey's "oh we're looking in to stuff maybe related to Clinton" letter a week before the election was the most blatant political meddling imaginable. If some random generic Democrat ran the FBI then the initial decision not to prosecute would've had a "she didn't do anything illegal, the end" statement. Not the "well... it's technically not illegal but it was dumb bad awful terrible stupid poo poo please reuse this attack ad soundbite" statement. Or the last minute kneecapping with his letter about Weiner's computer.

Yo, this is the way to not do it. You can acknowledge that white factory workers in Wisconsin have it lovely while also acknowledging the fact that minorities also have it pretty lovely, and black Americans have it especially lovely and that all of these diverse needs can be taken care of without trying to eliminate or erase their experiences and concerns. There is absolutely a cultural/identity politics piece of the puzzle.

But this is the loving problem - people are seeing we need to reach back to ALL poor whites, regardless of how racist and bigoted they are.

We can absolutely (and do, and need to flesh out and broadcast constantly) have a plan to help these people, but if we shut up and just let them go full klansman we are doing a disservice to minorities. We absolutely cannot offer them preferential treatment over minorities or to have these lovely views unquestioned like they want, and the question is if saying "we can save your town, but you also need to stop doing that" is enough to get these people. From the lists people keep putting out, no. That's just "coastal elitism" to expect that they not try to piss on everyone else in the coalition.

Everytime I've seen this exchange on my facebook, said conservative parents counter with pictures of angry college kids in California torching poo poo and flipping the bird at cops or the video of the white guy who was beat up in Chicago during a traffic altercation during which some black folks accused him of being a Trump voter, or just outright call bullshit and that it didn't happen and were all 'false flag' or 'oh no someone wrote Trump on a door, I need my safe space' (they really need to change the first picture in that link for the tl;dr crowd, its way too easy to dismiss)
