The democratic process is literally at the core of our country, it is shameful that we don't give it the respect it deserves. All elections should last a week, too, not just the executive one.

I'm not a huge fan of mail in voting outside of special circumstances but I think early voting at county buildings and having satellite locations in the week or two prior to the election should be standard everywhere.

GlyphGryph posted:This reads like a transparent hit piece rather than an informative piece of news. Also laughing at lengthy quotes from unspecified bloggers. Nobody is running for public office for 2 years and given what states are up in the senate, there's really no election the democrats can win for 4 years. He's the guy being annointed by both the establishment and progressive sides as the new face of the party right now, and will continue to be until we have a democratic presidential nominee. Being painted as an antisemitic closet jihadist is a big deal and something he needs to squelch in its infancy, if he had any sense. Swiftboating and emailghazi demonstrate you can't just ignore something if you don't think it's a valid attack and expect it to go away.

zegermans posted:Somebody's gotta do it. I have my doubts about if Sanders could have won either against the well oiled right-wing smear machine that social media has augmented, but his message would certainly have resonated more in the areas Clinton lost. This argument is retarded, the big argument against Sanders is "he's a SOCIALIST" which they already blew their load on with Obama

It's funny because it touches on issues that are still argued over today, like the rights of colleges and college groups to host controversial speakers. Or speaking at events that clearly racist people are also speaking at. But of course, if any Republican did those things, you can ignore it.

Ok neat they can believe what they want but he's still the face of the party until 2020. quote:This argument is retarded, the big argument against Sanders is "he's a SOCIALIST" which they already blew their load on with Obama Obama was charismatic and able to shrug off attacks. Sanders was capable of saying millionaires and billionaires in a funny accent over and over. I mean I get the guy had better political positions than Clinton, but beyond the babby's first leftist candidate people, he wasn't particularly inspiring on the stump.

zegermans posted:You said literally the only thing Obama had to do to be a great president was legalize it, at which point I determined that you have nothing of value to say further, because your perspective is utterly warped around your addiction. It's at the center of so much that you really shouldn't be this glib. It's obvious from that last clause that you don't take weed seriously for cultural reasons but the prohibition's been extremely harmful to the United States and Mexico and has been central to mass incarceration, police militarization, Mexico's de facto civil war and so much more. Weed's deadly serious.
