Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Lockerroom talk is lockerroom talk. How you conduct yourself in public is different. Oh my god, I thought you were joking. Last month a politician literally punched a reporter in the face and got elected. Blue collar america doesn't appreciate people stroking their delicate sensibilities anymore. That is not an important issue for people who are seeing rural America being gutted of its employment prospects. You are the quintessential out-of-touch white liberal voter.

We have only ever had one urban President in U.S. history. 2020 is a must-win for the Democratic Party. Why jeopardize it by taking the risk?

There's a certain amount of truth to the idea that Democrats can't get away with poo poo that Republicans get away with easily, because Democratic voters have standards and Republican voters don't. BUT You also can gain increased voter turnout and engagement by demonstrating anger and an emotional connection with voter's problems Cursing is one way to do that. Not necessarily the only way but one way. It's a valid strat and we'll have to see how it plays out.

Xombie posted:Last month a politician literally punched a reporter in the face and got elected. This logic never makes sense to me. The democratic candidate in a race could go on tv and stomp on baby the day before an election and my opinion would be something closer to "well this is hosed up" more than "I guess I support republicans now" if we were already past primaries and choosing candidates and that sort of stuff and there is no chance of getting someone else.

Hellblazer187 posted:This is going to sound terrible but I don't want a woman on the ticket next time. I mean, I would love Gillibrand or Harris as President. I wanted Clinton so badly to become president. I voted for her in the primary and donated and of course voted in the general for her. I honestly believe being a woman cost her a lot of votes. Every little issue with her was magnified 1000x worse than it would have been with a male candidate. If you run that election over, with a highly qualified but kinda boring candidate who is actually quite progressive, but over decades of service has taken stands that seem questionable to liberals 20 years later, I think that person wins. (That person is John Kerry, btw). A (Republican) woman is currently leading among white males in the GA-06 special election. I don't want to extrapolate anything from that, but I don't think womanhood is immediately disqualifying.

Counterpoint: Blue-collar voters are now voting Republican in part because Democrats are more worried about inoffensive liberal morality than creating an economy that will employ them, and have stated as much every time they're questioned on their voting habits. Worrying too much about the balancing act of appearance is part of why Democrats are not willing to run someone who connects with these voters.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:For better or worse, context is important. Donald Trump was not associated with urban life the way that Gillibrand is. He is a man of the white working-class in rural and suburban America. The same group that Gillibrand needs to appeal to. Anyone who thinks that Trump is the man of "white working-class in rural and suburban America" lives in an alternate reality and is unreachable by facts and frankly we don't need them to win loving elections. Actual white working-class people in rural and suburban America curse like sailors and sure as gently caress don't think of saying gently caress as implying that you are "urban" which is generally just a loving dog whistle for black anyway. Anyone who wouldn't vote for her for saying gently caress, wasn't going to vote for her anyway because she's a democrat and they consider that to mean that she's a race traitor because the people you are talking about are racist poo poo heals. I don't care if they vote for Democrats. Hell I don't want them voting for Democrats because I don't want to be associated with them.

Javes posted:I'm pretty sure he's doing the republican parlor trick of "Hey! Look how big this book of regulations is! Isn't that crazy!" Yeah it was the same type of poo poo that they did with the health care bill with the whole look how many pages the ACA is vs our streamlined bill. Trump was announcing a new panel that's supposed to cut through all the needless beuarcracy and endless red tape of trying to build new highways and dams and whatever else people can scam a whole bunch of money from. Because really who needs an environmental impact study when you're building a new dam. Clearly it somehow makes the dam worse and now we will have the biggest and best dams ever, just you wait and see. I'd go on bitching about how ludicrous this all is, but that should really just be a default position on anything that comes out of his stupid mouth until expressly proven otherwise.

Democrats conflating all working-class voters (who don't put manners on a pedestal) with southern Christian fundamentalists (who do want to be buttered up and lied to, but will overlook it if you're as racist and hateful as them) is honestly a symptom of how out of touch they've become.

Also, while I'm sure it's better than being a nefarious criminal, Trump's approval rating is in the toilet partly because most of America has realized 'Oh poo poo, he IS that dumb.' More 'He's an idiot who doesn't know what he's doing' doesn't help. Which is especially ironic when the whole reason they give for voting for 'outsiders' is 'Oh they know so much better how to run a government and will fix it quick.'

I think this is true, but there is a fine line to walk regarding acceptable passion for a democrat. There is 100% a different standard between parties. Like Howard Dean was great for the party and might have beat Bush, but he lets himself get too excited at a rally, and welp, he is a joke forever. Meanwhile, Trump can, umm, be Trump and nobody on the right gives a poo poo.

I love that photo so much, I totally forgot about that poor dog's 1000 yard stare, I can only imagine what horror's he's seen. I like to imagine the photographer told them to smile and each one of Huckabee's fugly rear end kids tried their best but only Sarah knew that normal people smile with their teeth (although she's fuzzy on the details).
