We're not talking about the next election, we're talking about the last one.

As for 2020, we don't have to flip Trump voters to the Democrats to win. We can turn Trump voters into non-voters, and non-voters into Gillibrand voters. That'll be easier.

made up your mind on this one already I see

Hillary Clinton ran a campaign bad enough that the FBI director writing a letter saying "hey maybe we might investigate her again??? i dunno lol" may or may not have been enough to tip the balance for Donald Trump
As opposed to all those other successful presidential campaigns that just ignored the FBI announcing in the final week they were investigating the candidate. Like

Stop pretending that the FBI deciding to validate GOP attacks on the candidate at almost literally the last hour was in any way a small thing every politician needs to go through. It doesn't fit your narrative, but it was loving big.

I like how she should talk about other factors means she is forbidden from ever, for any reason, talking about outside interference.

Never said it did. Tons of factors had an effect. But Trump had a scandal every time he opened his stupid mouth. HRC should have had the campaign at a walk, and everyone thought she did.

What Trump scandal happened between the Comey letter and the election?

sexpig by night posted:

Comey and poo poo hurt her, but a better candidate could survive that poo poo. Obama was called a literal terrorist who murdered his grandmother and then later someone who cackled and watched as Americans died in Libya and he was able to handle that, you'd think someone with decades of experience with these talking points would handle it better.
When in 2012 did the CIA come out and say "everything Romney said about Benghazi is true and Obama is a Muslim terrorist traitor", and only said "Maybe not lol" a week after the election?

That's the factor you are all refusing to acknowledge - an agency that is SUPPOSED to be impartial and trusted directly interfering against a candidate. That has not happened before, so pretending this is just something any other politician could easily get around is disingenuous as gently caress.

Yea Pennsylvania was always a hard win for the blue team.

Wisconsin and Michigan shouldn't be, though.

Both of which saw their first elections with ungodly levels of voting restrictions. But let's just ignore that and agree with Republicans that voting laws don't stop people who WANT to vote from voting so they're totally fine.

Two weeks ago Elizabeth Warren said "poop" was her favorite curse word.

Nominating and electing Trump as president means that conservatives like Tinsley should permanently lose their high ground when feigning outrage about dirty words and the like.

Also the Branco cartoon (I'm too lazy to quote it) is AGC. Yep...the GOP keeps trying to implement Trump's lovely agenda, and they keep shooting themselves in the foot. May that continue into the 2018 midterms.

I do wonder if it reads better the native language, though -these look like fan translations, and there's a lot of subtlety to good humor that might not get carried over by an overly-literal translation...though going by the overall structure of the comics this might be giving them too much credit.

DBD is pretty much Dees minus the talent and can't really be compared to things made by sane people with functional brains. Like, all his opinions and conspiracy nonsense aside, we're talking about a man who can't even write a sentence coherently.

It's much better with a competent translator that preserves the jokes.

No, they are not. Day by Day is racist and sexist in a way that Zelda and Animal Nuz are not. Like, the worst thing Animal Nuzzle ever did was cheerlead and make some bad puns let's not pretend that's the same as raping your wife.
