I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that people will still hate Trump at least roughly the same amount in November as they do now. Especially when that turd of a health care bill comes out

continually losing those seats over the years was totally outside of their control, you guys -- i mean, what did you expect Democrats to do, actually offer something substantially different than 'gently caress you, got mine?' that's crazy talk how will we ever get moderate Republicans to vote for us that is a totally real demographic that exists somehow

i mean, these loving rubes can't tell us apart from republicans and we couldn't be hosed to do anything to differentiate ourselves from them. so let's just let them die and completely pave over any area with a population density smaller than 1,000/mi2

The Muppets On PCP posted:as a reminder that's newt gingrich's old district, and it was less gerrymandered to favor republicans back then Here's the Atlanta map. 13 = SW Atlanta - mostly African Americans 11 = NW Atlanta, West Marietta and moving into the rural NW suburbs - mostly white folks 6 = North Central and NW Atlanta (the unlabeled yellow district between 11 and 7) slight amount of integration but the Democratic vote in these counties was split up between the 6th district and 7th 7 = NE Suburbs - Lots of suburban middle class white neighborhoods. I'm guessing there's a ton of economic inequality between white and black residents of these counties just based on experience 9 = Rural white people. They may live within an hour of Atlanta but they come from a totally different set of values and perceptions about politics 4 - Decatur and SE Dekalb county - Democratic stronghold like the 5th and the 13th IMO, ceding the 4th, 13th, and 5th to Democrats allows the Republicans to split up Dem-leaning areas in North Atlanta counties between the 6th and 7th districts and tilt these districts to Republicans by way of the white suburbs farther away from the city. If Democrats are going to make gains in the US House from Georgia, it will have to be in these 2 districts. In a few years, Democrats could possibly put the 11th in play but it will be tough. The other trick the Republicans did was balance the heavier industrial/commercial park areas along Northern Atlanta between the 6th and 7th districts. If there isn't any lower middle class housing there, people can't move there and vote against you.  Alter Ego posted:We're gonna lose some of these battles, but it's the ones we don't even bother suiting up for that piss me off. The DNC absolutely has to find viable candidates in every available race in order to spread out Republicans. You never know when a small scandal will break or a candidate will say something really dumb and you can't capitalize if you aren't in the race at all. tadashi has issued a correction as of 18:16 on Feb 24, 2017 |

They don't get it and they will never get it. They're old elitist power-and-money hungry politicians. They think the old way of doing things will work as it did in the past. They gotta be swept out like the garbage they are.
