Anybody know where you can find Democratic voter turnout for 2000 or 2004 and 2016? I'd like to see what the comparison looks like when you aren't comparing Hillary to a statistical anomaly.

I know it's too late, because every single major Democrat has already rolled over and started normalizing Trump, but they're going to regret it. I don't necessarily disagree with you but a lot of democrats are going to have issues with the party copping the tea party strategy

So just out of curiosity, what's there to stop a Trump-backed infrastructure bill from being corrupt as all hell, and serving to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump's own companies?

One unexpected bright side to this election is that it does away with the myth that you have to be a perfect citizen on paper in order to be elected. There's hope for dirty hippies, layabouts, stoners and minor criminals everywhere.

Trump doesn't actually own construction or engineering, so unless each construction worker is being solely in Trump Brand Steak Rations effectively nil.

Fojar38 posted:Still an open question as to how you can have Keynesian policies while cutting taxes Keynesian policies explicitly support tax cutting. Keynesian Economics is just: - Deficit Spend (through reduced revenue and increased spending) during recessions with expansionary monetary policy. - Run a surplus (through increased revenues and decreased spending) during periods of large growth.

Condiv posted:a trillion in infrastructure spending doesn't really conflict with demoratic party ideals so why block it? For plenty of reasons. 1) Infrastructure where. 2) Which private companies get these contracts? Democrats woudl likely either like to have the government send the money directly (for stimulus purposes) or at least require certain amounts for minority and women owned companies, and maybe say hwo much people are paid etc. Plenty of social opportunity here the republicans won't be interested int. 3) How will it be payed for. Trump (i believe) wants to use a 10% repatriation tax on businesses bringing money back into the US. That's just a few off the top of my head.

Notorious R.I.M. posted:So can someone explain to my dumb naive rear end why the winning strategy to unfuck everything for the DNC is any more complicated than: Ok it's time to self-refute this: There are two parts of this argument and they are both wrong: 1) Renewable energy sources in rural areas will die a death of NIMBYism, especially nuclear. The problem is at the very least much more complicated than a simple obvious win. 2) "We discard identity politics as a campaign strategy" is advocating fascism. Economic Justice without Social Justice is fascism controlled by capital elite. Advocating for it is advocating for unrestrained capitalism, both in the form of neoliberalism that ekes out just enough actual social justice to buy votes and in the form of unabashed supremacy based on forming trait-based coalitions of oppressor and oppressed that profit by having a majority. The left gave more of the former, the right gave more of the latter in this election. Both platforms are garbage because they lack actual social justice. I think John Adams is a good example of what discarding identity politics lead to. He may go down in history as not having owned any slaves, but he was glad to pander to Virginia to secede so he could get his "economic justice." The west got their taxation and representation, and they also got to keep their slaves away from the motherland's mean laws that equate slavery to kidnapping.

rscott posted:A Good Article Considering these reports that the GOP is ready to go all-in on a sneaky Obamacare repeal through reconciliation that would allow them to avoid the worst of the fallout until after the midterms, it's not exactly good that you have an empty suit like Schumer in charge of the opposition. Warren is the perfect person for this job but she won't get it because she doesn't play ball with Wall Street.

If it is a clean bill that does just that then there's no way in hell the D's would oppose. The reality is that it will be a bill that has some bread crumbs for women, while the meat of the bill will gut abortion rights, planned parenthood, mandate trans-vaginal ultrasounds, and likely other heinous poo poo.
