For all that people screech about liberal identity politics, it's Republicans who close campaigns out with this like this Cuba and Jane Fonda have to be the most enduring and pointless right-wing bugaboos. She made her trip to Vietnam over 40 goddamn years ago. EDIT: In regards to the rain problem I think we all know who the prime suspects are...

Well unlike current GOP heads, she at least actually went to Vietnam instead of use daddy's power or poo poo themselves to avoid the draft so Hanoi Jane's perpetually one up over them.

Wasn't the old saying that Republicans should pray for rain on election day? Seems like early voting might make that not true anymore.

Handel has really been playing up the "violent left" rhetoric. Here's a nice dog whistle from yesterday: quote:Asked if the issue was partisan, Handel said: “I can only tell you what I have observed in this race. The anger has been from the left with groups of trackers showing up and literally adopting a gang-like posture and virtually stalking individuals.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jun/20/georgia-special-election-karen-handel-journalism-lack-of-civility e: What's really rich here is her pinning the lack of civility on the left in an interview with Ben Jacobs, of all people.

Too Shy Guy posted:It just occurred to me this morning that conservatives talk about "California values" like they do Sharia law. Is this a new thing, or have blue states and cities always been posed as The Great Satan to rural communities? It's all too real, though. Just as Sharia forces an entire culture to plot the destruction of the western world, so California values worm their way into the unprotected minds of our American youth. Your second amendment will not help when the kale-cannnons begin their rain. Electric tanks will make short work of our battalions, blasting forth from turret-mounter loudspeakers - the satanic chorus of The Scissor Sisters. It will scatter our brave men to the four winds. Abortions will be mandatory, and babies will pay for them. They will use the very beasts against us - gay frogs strapped with quinoa bomblets. There will be B-52s returned to an unholy service. It will literally be raining men. They will paratroop onto our churches, forcing every wedding to be a gay wedding, regardless of genders. Los Angeles will be declared the new capitol, and all barbecue joints will be forced to offer a healthier vegan-sushi option. San Francisco will still exist. The San Andreas fault will split, and out of the ever-widening hellmaw will climb a flag. Over the ruined husk of our once great, god-fearing nation, it towers - The ISIS script in white and a hot-pink hammer and sickle, laid upon a rainbow field.

That is some incredibly degree of out of touch. I'm a centrist and I say we go full Jeremey Corbyn's Labour and gently caress anyone who doesn't fall in line behind full medicare for all, UBI, and everything else short of FULL COMMUNISM NOW because clearly the old strategy doesn't work anymore.

Not a comment on Ossoff or anything, but anyone who doesn't understand this really hasn't been paying attention. Democrats could run on the exact same platform as Republicans and they'd still be called communists. Doesn't mean the electorate will buy it, but Republicans aren't going to stop being shitheads just because a Democrat runs as a moderate. They don't care.

If the Dems lose a couple of elections because they are not kow-towing to the passions of the moment, then it would be worth it if they maintain the integrity of the electoral process. People will come back when there is an economic crisis or Iraq and they need the steady hand. 2008 is the model.

You just have to accept that Americans are lunatics. There is no bipartisanship. There is no moderation. There is no civility nor sanity. Republicans keep their ideals radical and win while Democrats try and hold hands and are called enemies of freedom while making sure the dumb poo poo R bills actually work.

The right wing has been capitalizing on being vicious monsters unbeholden to anything but cash money for ages. Thus we must become monsters in return. We should pack the Supreme Court, triple the size of Congress, give rural places only 1 polling site, etc. Beat the GOP at their own game. Or we could become like Jeremy Corbyn but Americans are spiteful, hateful idiots and would probably get mad at sincerity and jam and all that.

You have to understand that at least 25% of Americans unironically and literally believe what's put into far-right cartoons and Chick tracts. That liberals, satanists, and brown people (and let's face it, jews) are out to murder them and their babies and the only way to stop it is to vote for Republicans and amass as much wealth as possible to buy your way into heaven. It's the very essence of prosperity gospel. This is the legacy of not properly achieving reconstruction in the post-Civil War era. Xombie fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Jun 20, 2017 |
