loquacius posted:Booker is an extremely flawed candidate (call me literally impossible to please if you must) and Ellison, while great, is bucking for more national attention in a position that would preclude him from running for President so those aren't the best examples in the world The election isn't tomorrow my dude, a lot can change in 4 years, plenty of time for anyone I mentioned to build towards the role. Hell look how Obama came straight outta left field in 08. The thing to keep in mind is that everyone's just a flawed human being, ultimately. There will never be a perfect candidate (hell sometimes there'll barely be a good one) and if you sit on the sidelines waiting for one because nobody matches you 100% then you'll be waiting a long time. The best use of time is to make your needs/wants known to better candidates and utilize local organization to push them further in your desired direction. Writing off candidates on either side of the aisle isn't smart and doesn't make for good progress, the ascendancy of Trump proved that. But whatever, it's borderline impossible to talk about this stuff without the potential for massive derails, so if anyone wants to chat more on this subject then pm me.

The Rothschilds learned that degenerate dynasties aren't required in a democracy when you can have the public elect their purpose-bred puppets instead.

The irony is that it had the opposite effect, since shouting about Obama not being a natural born citizen is what led to Trump's ascendancy in the first place.

Donald J. Trump is our president-elect. The concept of logic and a loving god are both very difficult to prove.

"Berniebros loathe Keith Ellison" is a new one on me honestly Last I checked, "Berniebros" were having heart palpitations at the thought of Keith Ellison not becoming DNC chair. What are you basing this on?

"Yawn! Who cares what some liberal celebrity thinks?" barked every conservative cartoonist, immediately rushing over to their drawing boards to draft a cartoon about how much said celebrity doesn't matter. I wonder, if you go back far enough, how tiny Trump would have to be to fill Obama's shoes, since Obama was too tiny to fill Bush's shoes, who was too tiny to fill Clinton's shoes, who... TapTheForwardAssist posted:I feel like a lot of people now understand the baffling visceral rage a lot of rightists felt over Obama, where every little thing he did was somehow grating. Feels a little hypocritical after years of "drat, can't you guys find one single nice thing to say about Obama" but here we are. It's hard to accept this, except for a few outliers like Pissgate, because Trump genuinely flies off the handle, tosses around lowbrow insults, lies or forgets what he's said from hour to hour, and is actively appointing the most destructive people he can find to every single post he has influence over. Meanwhile, Obama was hated because Marxist Muslim madrassah dijon mustard salt death panels lapel pin taking your guns -- things that didn't happen or didn't matter. I could buy it for post-election Bush because he got a lot of poo poo for just seeming pretty dumb and looking like a chimp. It wasn't until he dragged the country into crazytown ca. 2002 that people's anger started to match the consequences of his actions.

Wasn't the early anger about Bush mostly a consequence of the absurdly close election (decided by less than a thousand votes), in which he lost the popular vote while winning for the first time in over a hundred years?

That's also a very good point, but if we're talking about things Presidents have actually done of their own accord, Trump is getting a really early start, what with tanking defense company stocks, recalling every ambassador, refusing to divest his investments, bringing his kids along to meetings with foreign leaders, etc.

I'm sure this has been pointed out, but I like how conservative cartoonists are doing their best to jam in as many "Obama is leaving behind a yuge mess for Trump" cartoons as they can before inauguration. It's like they're already set on blaming Obama for the next four years before it's even happened.

I've seen a few tweets from people who are very surprised and upset to learn that The Affordable Healthcare Act and Obamacare are the same thing and that it's going to go away soon.
