Grondoth posted:Prob nothing, but the DNC needs to be swept clean. honestly the issue at hand is not with the democratic congressional leadership. reid and pelosi have done a good job and i think people will miss reid a lot while chuck schumer is in charge. saying "oh we lost better wipe out everyone" is dumb, and in all likelihood you will end up with someone even worse. the issue democrats face is not with their elected leadership largely, it is with the invisible consultant class that writes, tests, and polls the messaging and strategy on behalf of democratic candidates and campaign committees. there have been serious flaws since the emergence of message testing in both parties. i think they've been able to cover up the issues in 2010 and 2014 by pointing to obama's elections and saying "we just need to solve the midterm turnout problem!" now 2016 has left no doubt that we need to reform the message as well, and that turnout is not even the largest issue.

radical meme posted:I've been reflecting on this since the 9th and this election is eerily reminiscient of the Nixon election. I wish we could have elected a Richard Nixon again. In this crazy world we live in Tricky Dick would end up being a democratic -- he created the EPA, ended the draft, enforced desegregation and engaged the soviets over nuclear weapons. Would that all of our bushes and trumps were replaced by the likes of him

Fidel Cuckstro posted:Aside from regularly saying "look at this bad thing Trump did, here it is" and "Man Trump seems a lot like Hitler, here's how he's like Hitler" what would you like journalists to do? Try to pretend there wasn't a Republican nominee for President? "Here is why everything that Trump has said is bullshit on every single level and if it could be implemented, would only make things worse for everyone in America" and then punching anyone who says the word emails in the face seems appropriate.

nixon got some good legislation through, but he did so prior to the emergence of the modern right-wing. he was still racist as hell, which it turns out as a big deal at that time.

Instant Sunrise posted:if anything, trump's election reminds me of the 2003 recall election in california. That said, Schwarzenegger is actually a pretty smart dude (actually self-made, too) and as someone with no experience he did an OK job as governor, especially considering the mess he inherited from his predecessor. The jury is still out on Trump but all signs point to breathtaking disaster.

That's why I said DNC not congress. But yeah I can see how I could be misunderstood. These PR hacks and marketing washouts need to be purged. I'm even thinking we should start pushing Brazlie out so we can have the election sooner and push the momentum of "you fuckers lost to trump" be pushed right into that.

GlyphGryph posted:Its funny that antigun dems deny they want to take away anyones guns but then, when pressed or even when not pressed, admit they really do want to. It's a shame too because there's a lot you could do to reduce gun violence without banning anything, like the "treat guns like cars" approach. I'm a gun owner and I'd be fine with something like that but anti-gun politicians just go for dumb poo poo like the AWB.

Bernie knew that he was so tragically unpopular that just by appearing on the same dais as Hillary to scream about the “corrupt bankuhs” and the price of soup, he would send the Hillary’s poll numbers crashing.

I had no idea that being accused of attempting to dodge FOIA requests, in spite of any hint of analysis seeing the flaw in that plan, was exactly bad as intentionally dodging foia requests. This FOIA dodge claim really will not die, will it? But I guess we need to just trust Breitbart articles like "KILLARY email server used to dodge FOIA about Benghazi emails!", I'm sure they were raising valid concerns the people needed to know.
