Lightning Knight posted:Ideally we don't run on "your old jobs aren't coming back." We run on "we will give you jobs" and emphasize infrastructure building and unions while leaving out that inevitably some of isn't going to be manual labor oriented. And so much of these jobs could be environmental restoration jobs that would be a win-win for everyone. Like, there's ALOT of work that needs to be done. Lets give these people some good ol socialism

I like the little parenthetical dumbed-down explanations of the cases. The fact that the ACLU is basically insulting Trump by (correctly) assuming that he needs these explanations will go right over Trump's head.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:you are quite thoroughly insane, median incomes in any major metropolitan area are a multiple of what they are in cow country. uh im not sure how posting median incomes of metropolitan areas proves much about people who live in cities, you can find districts where the median income is $30k in the bronx why it's almost like you're being deliberately sloppy with statistics to support a weak argument based on an internet grudge, but nobody's ever done that itt before so it would be unprecedented. the urban poor - they don't exist until they're convenient for my argument

I will accept Bernie's help, but I am still disaffected with how he turned off a lot of voters in important states by repeatedly accusing Hillary for shilling for Wall Street.This made her a much easier target for being accused of shadiness and EMAILSEMAILSEMAILS by Trump after the primaries. But it only contributed to her loss. Hillary's campaign is at fault in addition to Comey's emails, Russian cyber espionage actions, etc.

The chance of this bill getting passed with a Democratic controlled state house, Dem. Lt. Governor, and Democrat Governor is pretty slim. Even Republican control of the state senate that Ericksen is in isn't firm: they've got a majority coalition with an independent Democrat that has an unpredictable voting history as well as have vacant seat.

Anyone who thinks the Democrats should work with Trump on anything so that they can take some of the credit for any good that comes of it hasn't been paying attention to who Trump is, and is a loving idiot. I include Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi in this group. If you don't think the Republicans will be able to effortlessly pin any failure of these programs on the Democrats whilst simultaneously convincing people than any good that comes of them is in spite of the Democrats, then you haven't been paying attention to American politics for the last, oh, thirty years or so. Also if you think that Republicans in Congress actually give a poo poo about spending or the deficit outside of killing programs that were created by Democrats then just lo-loving-l. They will happily rubber stamp whatever insane tax-breaks-for-construction-companies infrastructure bill Trump finally manages to get someone on his team to write, and whether they cooperate with this shitshow or not, Democrats will take the blame when everyone is paying outrageous tolls on their way to work each morning. That's going to happen anyway - but cooperating makes it easier. Also, obviously, there is the fact that cooperating with Trump normalizes Trump, and you don't loving normalize a goddamn fascist who just appointed a white supremacist as his chief strategist. Who is using Japanese internment camps as precedent for whatever medieval poo poo he's got in the works. And so on. Like, if you're talking about keeping the Democrats on board with identity politics and standing up for social justice, then this is the exact god drat opposite of that, even if what you're compromising on has nothing to do directly with social justice. Because it has everything to do indirectly with social justice because the people you're smiling and shaking hands with are the antithesis of all that. So working on an infrastructure bill with a bunch a white nationalists is a bad idea, guys. Even if the infrastructure bill is actually not that bad (it will be pretty lovely though). When the bill comes up, Democrats need to find anything wrong with it and scream that the Republicans are loving over workers with it. Because they will be. They need to make that the centerpiece of the 2018 midterms. I expected the Democrats in the Senate to elect Chuck Schumer as minority leader on the basis of him being Mr. Fundraiser apparently, but if the strategy he is outlining is the one they're actually going to implemented (it is) then we are hosed (we are hosed).

I recall one of the arguments for increased Congressional pay is literally so the lobbyists rolling in would have to work a little harder to bribe them. We have this strange strain in the American psyche of politicians not being professionals but stepping away from their "real jobs" for a bit to represent the people.
