A clean cut genial technocrat who will oversee the decay of his party, do little to nothing for his people, and then usher in a right wing lunatic? I like how it took Macron like, a month, to get to the point that Obama needed seven years to get to

radical meme posted:I know what this thread's answer to this question is before I even ask but, is it better to accept the existence of the Stephanie Murphys and Joe Manchins of Democratic politics or purge them and watch their seats go to Republicans? rhetorical for me too since I no longer vote for lesser evils; it doesn't "bear mulling over" for me bc after decades of voting for dems and working for dems I'm convinced there's no way of getting them to actually change in the ways they need to (and, in fact, they've gotten way worse with the march of time instead of better).

Pretend I didn't link the "What Bernie could learn from Macron" thing but still agree that he could win a third party if the dems get a bad candidate 2020 and if Trump is still the nominee

Lindsey O. Graham posted:whigs, which were republicans, which are now democrats, ideologically speakin He was, in fact, from the brand-new Republican Party, one of four political parties (if you count North and South Democrats as two, which you may as well since they both ran candidates) represented in the 1860 election. So it's a reasonable stretch to say that a third party, non-establishment candidate became one of our most beloved presidents. And it only took a literal secession crisis to make it happen.

GalacticAcid posted:That sounds like bullshit to me It's as real as the time Bernie Sanders, wasted on LSD or maple syrup or something, came 'round to my apartment and told me he was actually Christopher Marlowe, and that he had written all of Shakespeare's plays. Which I already knew, but it was nice to have the confirmation.
