Dogs, on the other hand, can connect with that pathos.
The Dem's chances in 2018 aren't as bad as I first thought. That combined with Trump being Trump and, what looks like or at least I hope, is a house cleaning in the DNC could mean a good 2018 and decent shot at 2020 White House. Keith Ellison has grown on me, especially some of his local voter initiatives maybe increasing Dem turnout and bringing in new candidates if he's DNC Chair. You combine all that in time for the census and we're good.

But, this is the Trump timeline now so I don't know...gently caress it.

Except WI they all were swing states and considered and treated as such every single election in the last two decades. A vote in PA was considered as powerful as one in FL. Complacency basically killed the Democrats there. I myself laughed about Nate Silver trying to talk about PA being in play. Turns out he had the right idea.

About 300,000 people in Wisconsin were prevented from voting because of the new voter ID law there. Hillary lost the state by about 27,000 votes. (Source: The Nation)

I'm not saying blame the loss on voter suppression and leave the poor did-nothing-wrong DNC alone, obviously. But I am saying it happened, and it was a factor in the election.

Also, interestingly, Minnesota's turnout was down too, but still probably the highest in the nation. Minnesota has what I think are the least restrictive voting laws in the nation. (Minnesota also very nearly went to Trump, probably would have if Gary Johnson hadn't been running, and that was drat near unthinkable a week ago, so, again, can't just blame the election on Republican-sponsored voter suppression laws.)

So who is this Elison guy. I've just been too preoccupied to pay attention

Keith Ellison is the Congressman for Minnesota's 5th district. He was one of the first elected officials to endorse Bernie Sanders, and is a co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. He's also the first Muslim to be elected to the House of Representatives (I believe). I like his twitter feed, which is mostly a bunch of calm and sensible yet uncompromising stuff.

Glenn Beck once asked him to his face how we could be sure he wasn't our enemy.

We'll see. Hopefully not. Ideally what we need is someone with Bernie's policies combined with Dean's master strategies.

And we need it to last for more than four years.

I doubt Ellison has been co-opted. the dude may not be screaming full communism now in the streets but he also seems to have his head screwed on straight unlike a lot of centrists

plus Bernie is supporting him, and I'm sure he's had it with neoliberal hacks

Because no one loving cared to cover any of Hillary's policy speeches. I would have never known she gave one on mental health if no one here told me about. The media would trip over itself if Trump said "I'M GIVING A PRESS CONFERENCE" and then gets baited not once but twice into something else.
