Party Plane Jones posted:https://twitter.com/pattymo/status/869004196103716868 As a politician, when 8th graders know who you are even though you're not the President and that you're a huge pile of poo poo, you know things are going sideways fast. Maybe Ryan should've given out some of his lifting pics... In middle school I _might_ have been able to name the Vice President but that would've been a stretch since Dan Quayle didn't come on the scene until I was in High School. Wasn't Reagan's VP just a statue of a woolly mammoth with a bible and a chastity belt?

Paradoxish posted:The left never really went anywhere That's the problem. The mythical left of the '60s got crushed and never overcame that crippling disadvantage. It was in the shadow of that defeat that the Democratic Party was forced to shift as Reagan's* cultural defeat of the left pushed the country to the right. *not actually his doing, but symbolized by him and committed by his masters.

What does anything I posted have to do with Perez's race, or his ability to pass for white? You are projecting like crazy here.

GreyjoyBastard posted:On Kushner: well, Trump needs SOMEONE he trusts who also has an attention span present. I don't see the problem. There's no evidence Jared has much of an attention span or intelligence. So far the actual info on him seems to be a younger, less overtly racist and offensive version of Trump that has at least figured out how to keep his loving mouth shut most of the time. It'll be quite funny when Trump finds out Jared learned Trumpism only too well and figured out that one trick they don't want you to know, demand loyalty but shoot them in the loving head the moment you think they might inconvenience you in the slightest way. Kushner ain't going to jail to keep an old man, who's knocking on death's door, from having to eat the poo poo he's been force feeding to his peons for decades now.

It was in the shadow of that defeat that the Democratic Party was forced to shift as Reagan's* cultural defeat of the left pushed the country to the right. I don't really disagree all that much, except I think you're giving 90s Democrats too much credit by saying that the right "forced" them to do anything. We haven't really had any huge, lasting electoral victories in the post-Reagan era, and despite both Clinton and Obama being very popular presidents we still weren't able to stop Donald Trump from getting within a few percent of a popular vote win. The Democrats have been slowly drifting back to the left because the success of Third Wayism in the 90s was really a one shot thing.

TheKingofSprings posted:Why's that, exactly? (To the second part of that statement) He came in with a lot of progressive promises like national daycare, repealing some pretty terrible anti-terrorism bills that went way too far, voting reform (gently caress FPTP with a rusty rake), stopping the oil companies from turning Alberta into Mordor and push for better environmental protections, work on labour relations, etc... And within 8 months walked back on about 60% of them and refused to mention the others while pushing forward a bunch of stuff that the previous Conservative (our right wing) party had in the works. My favourite is his "Middle class tax cut" that really only helped people making 200k annually. I dont know who he would be most similar to in your system though. Probably Clinton? A true believer of the third way.

Exactly. And the fact that Trump isn't going to actually get a chance to pass that budget as-is shouldn't matter one iota to the Dems in their messaging. They need to tie this poo poo around his, and Paul Ryan's, and Mitch McConnell's necks, and let it drag them down to the bottom of the ocean. Because we all know this budget is what Republican politicians want, in their shriveled heart of hearts. Majorian fucked around with this message at 07:07 on May 30, 2017 |
