Concerned Citizen posted:i don't really think it's inexcusable to not know what a fish fry is. it's not a tradition everywhere as seemingly implied by some here. A human being is totally allowed to not know what a fish fry is. A political observer in the united states of america should know what a fish fry is.

that's fair, there really isn't enough context in the term "fish fry" for someone to figure out it's an event where fish is fried

So what the hell did you do at a block party before Minecraft was released? Did you just all stand around appreciating other kinds of blocks, like cinder and cardboard blocks?

So, what was the issue with Franken? The discussion kind of died on that. The major downsides I see are "not Bernie Sanders, the only acceptable politician" and "kind of a smug prick sometimes"

zegermans posted:Jesus how are all these people so old The average age of Democrat leadership in 2017 will be 76 (Pelosi 76, Hoyer 77, Clyburn 76.) As for Booker, who knows? I would imagine 'second black President' isn't as strong a hook as being the first, and Booker is nowhere near as talented or charismatic a politician as Obama is. It would be a race between trying to re-unite the Obama Coalition under a Not Obama versus however Trump's first term has gone. Honestly I don't think the Dem opponent matters, 2020 is going to be a referendum on how Trump's first term success and little else.

The major downsides I see are "not Bernie Sanders, the only acceptable politician" and "kind of a smug prick sometimes" I think he has a few major problems (supported the war in Iraq and most other military interventions since, is a pretty extreme copyright maximalist) but neither of those are, imo, central issues we need to rely on to see a Democratic rise. I actually think he's pretty good. I don't get the feeling he has any desire to run a presidential campaign, but I would support him if he did and no other better candidate (one that's younger, more charismatic, less hawkish, less committed to locking away cultural touchstones for corporate profit) presented themselves. Way better than Hillary, that's for sure.

If Cory Booker is nominated he will refuse to campaign on how badly the rich have treated people and thus lose.

At this rate, the Dems will literally die off with no one to replace them. it's actually really easy to get involved with the democratic party. especially at local level, much of the time you just literally just show up a handful of times and help out and someone is eventually gonna offer you a position of some kind. and many state parties have rules requiring representation on boards/committees by young people. and at the professional level, most campaigns and staff are totally dominated by 20 and 30 somethings. if anything, i'd say young people are over-represented.

I think Booker will run, do pretty well, then drop out and support Gillibrand, who will win the nomination but lose the election to a not-Trump Republican.

The D&D treatment of her is just really kind of weird and gross anyway. That was some outright obsession with silencing a dissenting viewpoint just for the sake of it.
