SpaceGoku posted:my dude these fine people are not judiciously weighing the perceived policy positions of all their candidates and coming to the conclusion "aha, I shall not vote for my potential leaders are all tainted" So your point is that voting and being politically involved is just flat out not possible for these people? Again, Burke would have directly improved the lives of these people in countless ways, but the results from rural areas was a very clear "gently caress you!". It was not crickets from her, it was "lol gently caress you" vs. "I will make sure you don't need to worry about getting fired, don't need to fear getting sick and don't need to work three jobs", and the end result was "give us more of the guy who fucks us over".

There's no reason why anyone in the top level DNC should keep their role after the Dems lost 900 seats in the most recent election and the White House.

Way too much fighting for just inches. As someone who's been more immersed in the debate over time, automatics are a complete non-issue with the way firearms are currently regulated anyway. People who are likely to commit crimes with a rifle are not going to spend the time to engineer what it would require to turn a semi-automatic rifle into full automatic, and that function isn't really conducive to making whatever their goals might be easier (see: Pulse nightclub shooting, semi-automatic AR-15). Existing automatic firearms are so tied up by the National Firearms Act and registration with the BATO that there's virtually no way anyone with ulterior motives would spend the resources to get one. If gun control ever gets serious again, the only way to significantly reduce handgun deaths would be a complete ban on handguns of any kind, as long guns are virtually never used either in crimes or in suicides. Good luck actually rounding up every handgun in the country though LOL RedneckwithGuns has issued a correction as of 00:48 on Dec 1, 2016 |

I've been reflecting on this since the 9th and this election is eerily reminiscient of the Nixon election. An irreverent con-man is elected over a cabable and competent opponent who lacked charisma. An election following an administration that elevated issues involving minorities; then, civil rights for blacks, now, civil rights for LGBT and of course, a black Pres. A leaving administration embroiled in a festering military action against the ultimate political boogeyman of the times; then, a communist client state, now, Islam. I could go on but, the parallels are numerous. I don't know what the gently caress this means for the future but, where's Jimmy Carter?

https://twitter.com/peterdaou/status/804089137766744064 Guys, I just wanted to pop in and say gently caress the establishment dems and dumb shills like Daou who stick their heads in the sand while pointing blamey fingers in every wrong direction while still believing that their stupid party is "Already Great." No Dem should get a vote or their name even near a ballot if they take a cent in corporate money or large singe-donor cash. With the situation with Brazile not stepping down and the DNC vote being in months time, I have some reserve paranoia about the DemE biding its own time to get their poo poo together, and meanwhile letting the left/Sanders wing "blow off some steam" so they can come back with a highly-calculated approach to the party's future a la the Hillary campaign and proclaim some buzzword/soundbite-driven message that we all will have to nod and agree to. In other words, in the meantime, the message the left needs to send the DNC and keep hammering on is " or " Take the party hostage.

Remember when the Democratic candidate who was suffering from negative views due to people wanting to know what she was telling donors privately held a fundraiser at a rich couple's house outside Denver used a white noise machine to prevent journalists from hearing her? That was a long sentence. But as a suggestion for the future, I don't think the Democratic candidate in 2020 should do that.
