anime was right posted:people have been leaving both parties to the point where like 50% of voters are now independent/undeclared lol Hey, we wouldn't want Republicans voting on who'll be the Democrat's nominee, otherwise we'd get someone who's so unenthusiastic and disconnected from the base that they could lose to a senile reality show star.

Neurolimal posted:who could have possibly predicted that nobody would give a poo poo about russia i think russia is a thing but they need to keep that question burning so that the next weird russia thing that drops makes trump look worse. by going all in, if something actually drops, it probably won't matter, but if the russia thing is in the back of everyones heads and then it turns out oh trump talked to putin irl in a secret hallway or something, you actually have a big story break. if you just keep the same tone/story throughout the next 2 years, no ones gonna give a poo poo. the emails thing was a problem because no one had talked about the emails for like a loving month and then bam it consumed the news cycle. right now democrats shoul dbe fighting on healthcare while they behind the scenes look into the russia poo poo so they can pin it on trump with some additional evidence. instead they're like "oh yeah we need to tweak the thing that will kill literally thousands of people so it just kills thousands of people still, but its not as expensive!!" instead of like standing up for poo poo. democrats suuuuuck. hope the local party takeovers pay off bc we're hosed with the current dems at the helm lol

Venuz Patrol posted:lol way to totally agree with whiskey juvenile by accident There's a difference between a political party that only sees you as a vote and nothing because they take you for granted due to the other party actively looking to gently caress you over vs. being a political party that actually has your interests at heart.

anime was right posted:democrats: "republicare will kill millions of people either directly or indirectly. medicare for all will save millions of lives and be cheaper" repeat x infinity right now. yea this is really all they have to say about the ahca over and over again im listening to a really interesting ted talk (lol i know) about what makes homo sapiens different hisgorically and evolutionarily from other higher order primates, and the author's contention is that we uniquely have the ability to tell eachother stories. Thagt in turn allows us to create ideas, narratives, religions, concepts for larger and larger groups to rally around. He believes that the reaction against globalism and neoliberalism is because there is no broader vision articulated as a part of it, that its proponents have lost the thread of why that unites large groups of himans in a shared goal. As a species we are now dealing with a global economy and global climate and global resources, but approaching it all on national scales. This is why climate change deniers are almost always nationalists, because nationalism explicitly does not have a eay to deal with a global problem, so thsy deny its existemce entirely. dont agree wjth everything he is saying, but thw thrust of his argument that a globally interconnected world needs a global vision (and government) to survive is well made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szt7f5NmE9E

Honestly there's no politician who I would describe as a "lifelong public servant." Even Bernie has to be in this for money and power at some level, it seems insulting to the intelligence of the voters to suggest otherwise. EDIT: Lol https://twitter.com/TheOnion/status/841766406517620736

Concerned Citizen posted:yeah, a lot of states were solidly democratic for 80 years and went red. we've re-aligned. in 2000, bush won wv by 6 points. in 2004 - 12.9. in 2008, mccain won by 13. in 2012, romney won by 26.7. 2016, trump won it by 42.1. it's literally now the reddest state in the union, so yeah someone running on the dem line isn't gonna loving carry west virginia why did a democratic stronghold suddenly turn deep red Why did a state full of people who liked voting for democrats suddenly refuse to vote for anyone except manchin and Republicans? I feel like this needs a better answer than "well, it realigned, nothing we can do". it's stupid to shrug it off as just "well, it's conservative country, we can't possibly win there" like it's loving Alabama or something Condiv posted:i wonder if mccain ever feels any regret for this. it seems like sarah palin was a catalyst for trumpism nah, the attitudes that eventually became trumpism were already around. they just rallied around her because she seemed to be speaking to the concerns she had about mainstream Republicans. if she hadn't done it, sooner or later, someone else would have
