I still can't believe the raw hilarity that jeb! brought to the Bush family. It's not like ol G.W. was an awesome speaker, but I wouldn't trust his little bro to do a show and tell day at an elementary school. Like, how did his family not pull him aside to be like "Jeb no, I'm begging you, you're a talented special boy but maybe you could be something other than president, like a fireman or an astronaut, just please, please don't"

He just fuckin' box-turtle'd his way into the race, and quietly box-turtle'd his way out. God bless Jeb the precious cinnamon roll candidate.

The party is built around wedge issues like abortion, gun control, and taxes. Pick a random voter on the right and they might be moderate on some issues but will be far right on at least one.

spacetoaster posted:So democrats are the real republicans? The right has been pulling the rope so hard to the right in recent years that the center has changed. The issue for the Republicans is that the batshit crazy people are their base and very prominent in media, while the issue for Democrats is that their base is apathetic and generally doesn't vote. For reference: I don't have any particular love for either party and I'd describe myself as center-left on nearly every issue. Amarcarts fucked around with this message at 13:48 on May 25, 2017 |

The issue with democrat voters is that theyre fickle, not apathetic. They don't show up to back a poo poo cabdidate just because. There is no concrete support guaranteed to them.

There is no concrete support guaranteed to them. the issue is that the democratic party actively goes against what its voters want and then scolds and reprimands them for not supporting them. remember how after the 2008 election the entire country hated the banks and wanted obama to punish them and instead he gave them sacks of money and gave the finger to homeowners facing foreclosures? and then spent the entire healthcare fiasco reaching out to republicans and working with insurance companies while threatening any dems who were insistent on a public option? there's a reason the dems bled seats for eight years, and it's not because their voters were fickle.

I wonder why Hillary is considered a good politician despite most of her roles being obtained through nepotism. Carpet bagged her way into a safe blue NY district and pissed off Ted Kennedy Lost to Senator Obama in 2008 Had a big primary fight with a previously obscure Vermont senator from a small rural state that has more maple trees than people Final Crowning moment of Failure, Losing to Trump in 2016 despite having 2x the campaign budget and being favored in the polls

I've never met a Republican who supported Jeb! at any point, and it was slightly surreal watching the media act like he was a sure thing for so long. I'm pretty used to the media being wrong, and understand just how pompously ignorant most journalists are, but it was still weird.
