Yeah, if she had won she'd have been mired in a never-ending "But her emails!" crisis that would have sucked up a lot of political energy.

I will put $100 dollars that the top comment of that story will read to the effect of "UR NEXT!" on the mainstream publication of your choose. As an aside, the gently caress is up with The Atlantic's comments section. Hyper conservatives on every article I check. On the loving Atlantic.

I think the thing in November was more about keeping his job. If she dumped him when she assumed office it would have been seen as revenge.

Let's never forget that sometimes the truth actually is in the middle, that Comey is a dumb, overreaching imperious shitlord and it's a good thing now because the president is a crazed pissbaby.

I guess you never read the comments before. Every single political site is swamped by insane conservatives, even if it's a publication that should logically make conservatives vomit to read it. Take a look at the comments on the Guardian website - right now, it's about 2/3 "This comment was removed by a moderator" but before they hired more moderators, you'd have supposed the Guardian was the official paper of the BNP (British fascist party) from the opinions of the readers.

Google Butt posted:Reporters in open carry States should start doing just that I agree. The press should be armed. Start a program, give it a catchy title like "Pistols for the Press". If nothing else, it would at least be the first time the 2nd Amendment has been used to defend any other amendment other than itself.

Charliegrs posted:Well I don't know how you folks think Dems are going to win. Having the Northeast and west coast is obviously not enough. Remember, there's a small amount of voters out there that actually decide these elections. A small change might be all it takes. And if you have to give up something what's it going to be? I know this was a a million pages ago in this fast moving thread; it really seems like these things can build on eachother. Heathcare for all should be the core of the democratic platform. It should be the democrat's version of lower taxes. Having healthcare to fall back on, eases a lot of pressure on people. If people have less economic pressure they have more job mobility; this puts the thumb on the scale of the labor/capital balance. Reproductive rights seem like they would really start to fall into place at that point. If the poor/working class have access to regular checkups and decent reproductive care, they will end up making better informed decisions and getting educated on issues of birth control/plan-b/abortion. I feel that education will make a big impact on civil rights and LGBTQ issues as well in a similar way. Intense focus on these issues can snowball into the underlying structural issues that are at the root of everything in that list; no need to rail about gun control and alienate conservatives.

Democrats need to stop giving in to "custom" and just do exactly the maximum that the rules allow. They just got boned on the appointment of federal judges because they "didn't think the Senate Republicans would dare go this far." quote:Senate Republicans are moving to overhaul a long-standing tradition for processing judicial nominees to thwart potential Democratic obstruction of President Trump’s picks to fill the federal bench.

Even traditionally conservative publications like the WSJ have a rabid far-right following now that does nothing but call every article leftist/establishment fake news. I think they follow them on Facebook with the sole intention of trolling libruls in the comments. If you really want to have a  moment, follow The Economist on Facebook and read the comments random people leave on seemingly straightforward articles.

I have more sympathy for the CSA than many here I expect but the Lost Cause is a lot cause now. I remember back when the Confederate Flag was taken down in South Carolina a couple years ago...and nobody cared. I mean, relatively nobody. I love the South, warts and all, and the idea they are all a bunch of Confederate apologists is just not true. Undoubtedly a small minority are but the olden days are quickly slipping away. The old guard and die-hards are still in positions of power so poo poo like this happens but the average Southerner growing up? I don't think they much care. The Confederacy was for their grandfathers and now even their great grandfathers. Maybe I'm too optimistic but I would forecast that in 20 or so years when we have new generation of politicians in charge, the last remnant of this stuff will dry up.
