Main Paineframe posted: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 That's why I said she was one of the catalysts. You could say the same thing about bernie and the upsurge of economic leftism. Sure someone could've come around, but it could've been much later and not because of McCain.

anime was right posted: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. wait, are dems actually trying to tweak ahca?

This came up during the dark days of the primaries; it's impossible to actually dig up dirt on Bernie. This isn't supposed to be possible for a politician. The closest to dirt he has is that he has some granola hippy freedom of choice opinions on nuclear power/alt medicine, and one time he wrote an article about sexual fantasies with the word "rape" contained within. That Is It. It's really hard to figure out why some armchair communists are so cheesed that such a unique social democrat has resurrected the word Socialism.

I distinctly remember people on SA hand-wringing about how hosed-up it was that supposed "socialist" Bernie was buying a house even though he already had two (one in Vermont and one in DC, because he is a senator and needs them) (the Clintons also own three homes and Trump owns dozens)

According to Gunnels, the key vote ends up being cast by Democrat Harry Reid of Nevada.
