solar energy panel posted:Look, anyone would have to be a sociopath if they weren't in any way bothered by the terrible personal insults that were directed at Obama and his wife. It wasn't acceptable then and it wasn't acceptable now. The only thing this will accomplish forever afterwards is the lack of anything resembling an actual human ever running for president in the future. Some tepid burns do not mean he is treated worse than, say, Lincoln or JFK, who were shot to death.

I've told you, we are the same computer algorithm originating in a server bank in Montenegro, and since the mods and admins of SA can see posters IP's they can verify it. Their inaction proves that they are complicit in the Russian led astroturfing.

Nut to Butt posted:Lobbyists are simply citizens representing the interests of fellow citizens. I don't see a way to distinguish some petitioners as legitimate and others as illegitimate without setting up a system even more prone to abuse than our current one. If you have funding of more than say $250,000 behind you then that's not legitimate.  Maybe make it easier for common people to petition their representatives while restricting wine and dine in a super fancy restaurant and donating massive amounts to election campaigns.I dunno it's a good question obviously but I don't think that means we should just shrug and let things be as they are.

Karl Rove's neoconservative Republican majority was indeed silly just like the Clinton third way neoliberal demographic destiny is In case you hadn't noticed the Republican party got partially hijacked in 2010 and one of the ripples of that led to a Trump presidency The Democrat party, as it sits now with no changes to its structure, is, in fact, doomed

Who What Now posted:I sincerely doubt that. I just looked it up and the discrepancy is Trump's height. If he's 6'2" like some say he edges Clinton out and if he's 6'3" like he claims then Clinton was indeed fatter in any case, the difference between Trump and Clinton is marginal at best

Yesterday I was thinking boy that sounds familiar, annnd it was. I did my homework in the wee hours of the morning or maybe late at night anyway I solved where I had heard it before. Can you guess? Did you guess? It was anime. Anime was the answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_Oc7ny2RvE I don't remember details of this anime very well but hey the song is pretty swell.

new phone who dis posted:Elections funded by the public. This is the stock reply, and it could work, but it's no panacea. Campaign contributions are only one tool in the lobbyist arsenal. It's a potent one, but it's also one of the few tools at the disposal of the average citizen. (This is no coincidence.) Money is speech, and muzzling every citizen who believes in a cause or a candidate because you don't like what some of them have to say is dangerous. Public campaign financing depends on a government and parties that are trustworthy, and that won't use this financing as a gatekeeping mechanism to further entrench their power. I can see how it would sound like a good idea to someone who trusts the DNC and the RNC to set up a fair and inclusive campaign finance system, but I don't. If you're really bored one day, read the legislative history of McCain-Feingold to lol at a bunch of Congressmen whining about how the mean citizens of this country keep telling the truth about them in campaign ads. A bunch of nobodies talking trash about Congressmen! Simply intolerable! I could never support public campaign financing without significant structural reforms to our electoral system. I don't want to see the 90-97% incumbent reelection rate reach 100%.

Probably would end as hosed up as some Gerrymandered districts' borders are. Maybe the tree needs some revitalization then if the elected representatives are not representative of the people and we see no way to ensure they are within the bounds of what we've got. This would be disaster but something has to give eventually.

T.S. Smelliot posted:What do you do? Not being a dick j/w man I'm an electrician. I spent almost 6 years doing construction, and I was planning to get some certificates in motor control, logic controllers, and automation systems to open some more doors. The end-game was to, eventually, work with my dad. He was the general foreman of the electric shop for a newspaper printing facility. He died of cancer last spring, and when I heard they were hiring, I submitted a resume and told all the corporate guys, "Someone has to get the job, it might as well be me." They hired me, and now instead of construction, I do a lot of technician/maintenance work on printing presses and insert machines.

The Landstander posted:Well, that's the thing - it's a two-party system, parties are malleable, things switch around, outside movements tend to be blobbed up by the major parties, etc. Which is why the neocon Republican majority is a relic, and the Democrats are having a major identity crisis. On their current trajectory things don't look promising. The Landstander posted:Also Trump is fatter That chart assumes he is 6'1", he claims 6'3". Judging on pictures with Obama I'd say he's 6'2" in which case he's just as fat as Clinton was.
