Fine. How about an InfoWars or ZeroHedge tv network? I guess what I'm saying is that there will always be a market for conservative shitheads. Someone will fill that vacuum. :v:

Good lord can you imagine a national Infowars channel?

But no, I think most young white nationalists are going to keep getting their news online. You've already got people like Milo and Spencer attempting to lay the groundwork for a wider network of nazi personalities so that they have an even more accessible platform. Now, I doubt they'll be the ones to succeed but somebody's going to throw enough money around to be successful. The conservatives who aren't that bigoted will have CNN and MSNBC adjust their programming to pick them up; he'll, we're seeing it now.

The weird thing is that you haven't sent them the cake already. :colbert:

All of my representatives are awesome (House Rep is Ellison), but I sometimes feel a little sad that I don't get to angrily yell at an rear end in a top hat congressman in a town hall meeting. Then I remember that it's better than feeling vague guilt for living in Bachmann's district.

Also, if there's like a 15 point swing tonight from November with a pretty objectively weak Dem candidate that's kind of the definition of "progress" and the sort of thing that should inspire hope to build upon.

How is Quist a weak candidate? I view him as the opposite. I view him as the best kind of Democrat candidate and the only kind of Democratic candidate that can win in rural regions outside of Clintonite Millionaires. And we all know why those suck

Hannity's up to seven advertisers dropped, now. I'm worried that his cowardly attempt to say how he's decided to respect the family's wishes while also saying he meant every word might mean enough advertisers decided to hang on, but it's Hannity so it's not like there will be any shortage of reasons to tell advertisers to ditch him.

His name was Sean Hannity.

STAC Goat posted:

I'll defer to people who have paid more attention. The stuff I've read is that he's got no political experience or resume and troubling tax stuff, and he kind of got up on his name and we'll traveled career and campaigning. That last part obviously is good for a candidate (and good ideas are of course good as much as they mean anything without any kind of resume that they're more than words) but that earlier stuff seemed to be a bit of an unnecessary handicap that the Dems should be able to build on.

Hell, Quist could run in 2018 but with a year of focused political advocacy and be a better candidate.

But I admit I've only paid passing attention to this race so apologize if I have him all wrong.

QuoProQuid posted:

i could be misremembering, as i am not a resident of montana, but doesn't quist have serious tax lien and debt-collection problems? i also remember him fumbling with the whole gun issue.

i get democrats being happy with his views, but if i were a strategist, quist would not be my first choice.

"agrees with my individual political views" ≠ strong candidate

What's your opinion on the boat people

Well, its not as simple as we should give refuge to anyone that asks. It's also not as simple as turning them all back.

The reality is as long as there is a perception that as soon as they get into our waters they're 'safe' because we take all comers, that's not a message that is going to help us. Immigration is something we should have a say and control in, rather than just appealing to 'decency' and accepting everyone because they're poorer than we are. Many of these people still have made bad choices, many of these people will not become Australian citizens that we all want to stand next to.

So that's the problem, properly assessing and working with the people that come to make an decision about whether you'll make a good Australian is a complex and difficult process. It takes a great deal of resources and perhaps even offshore processing assets if that's the best way to prevent an influx we cannot control.

We must with one hand help all those less fortunate than us while with the other making sure we're not going broke doing it. That is a complex task and I support my taxes going into people and infrastructure to achieve these lofty goals.

Those young hateful assholes are just a very loud minority and don't have the numbers to replace the dying Fox demo. And they don't pay for cable news.

Fox isn't permanently tied to cable, and the 4chan/reddit minority has an attractive enough message to gain a larger demographic. SJWs make for great punching bags.

It's as simple as throwing money at right-wing youtube personalities.
