I mean there's not much to it. Someone asked what about that month improved CSPAM and I think that's when Zoux had his hilarious meltdown and got booted, and that was a good thing.

This has been my report on advanced CSPAM theory, thank you and good night.

i think just "please no excessive slapfighting about the primaries" would be fine. ANY PRIMARY DISCUSSION IS VERBOTEN is unnecessary

I actually agree, it just should've been more specific and this was during the time that the dust hadn't settled so it was a hasty note. :hai:

I'll add that :toot:

It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.

I saw you mention Davenport earlier, so did you try Loebsack's office? I called earlier today and was able to get ahold of someone pretty quickly. His Iowa office phone is (563) 323-5988.

Ok, I called, spoke with Hannah. Demanded Ellison for chair and Brazile to resign for damaging the credibility of the cause.

Please everyone call your reps.

This is a forum that literally set up a "Salt Mine", but when its preferred candidate lost, immediately pivoted into a safe space and even tried to reneg on their toxxes. Safety pin up, bitches.

there was a circlejerk for a bit before the elections but the toxx poo poo had nothing to do with Saving the Hillarymen and if you think this subforum is a safe space for hillary people right now lol

Which is my point. There's so much pearl clutching in Democratic circles about, "Oh, we can't promise THAT - we'd never get it through Congress!" Well, no poo poo. That's part of a successful electoral strategy: over-promise, and if you don't succeed at getting the policy through once elected, blame it on the other side. It's amazing to me that the Dems have gotten so bad at this.

But you can promise single-payer. It can get through Congress. I mean, conceivably. You could, with enough votes, actually do it. The preamble to the SCOTUS ruling on the ACA says just that. And you could, with taxes, actually pay for it.

You cannot, however, build a wall between the US and Mexico. It doesn't matter how many people want it. You cannot do it. There isn't enough concrete.

You cannot deport every illegal immigrant. Doesn't matter who wants to do it. You cannot do it. ICE isn't SEA PATROL, they don't have unlimited resources.

So you see, the democrats are careful not to promise things that can be done, so they never have to do them, and the republicans are careful to promise things that cannot be done, so they never have to do them.

For the record zoux was set up to fail and I was expecting his meltdown. I didn't expect him to probate a mod though lol. That was just icing on the cake.

A microcosm of the election


Someone said something a few days ago about how RWM was using "white people idpol" to rally the Midwest, which is not an angle I had ever thought of, and honestly to me it sounds like a great reason to pivot toward economic justice as our main platform plank so that we're not literally voting along racial lines anymore because that creeps me out

but I'm also a White Straight Dude who doesn't have anything to fear from Trump fascism (unless Steve Bannon has his way :jewish:) so I understand that's easy for me to say and will readily shut the gently caress up about it if pressed

Continuing to look for opportunities to get involved in my state even though my county meeting isn't until January, so I went to the state party website. No calendar or events posted. I went to Facebook and here's what I find:



(That's last year's Christmas party)

Now I know it's pretty solidly blue around here at a high level but it's only because 99% of the population is crowded into our cities. If you look at county by county there's a lot of red poo poo in the rural areas that could use some outreach. I'm in one of those counties. My local party, which for years came to visit every election with petitions and information (I even had Gillibrand come to our door one year, plus some more local people) didn't even bother to come out this year. No outreach to my elderly parents who have voted solidly Democrat for 60 years and might need help getting to the polls. (They didn't, but still)

It's kinda sad when a state that probably has a buttload more resources than most committees can't get poo poo together. Guess it's time for emails and calls ...
