people who voted for trump are still happy with his performance, and others (this is for dems too) will just show up and vote republican rote regardless. what issues do you think will get center/rightist to vote for the democrats over republican candidates in swing states? job numbers under trump have been exceeding expectations most months (not really his doing ofc) and most people have no idea what single payer is (not that we dont really need it)

I like how trump has accidently exploited the fact that if you make fun of the media they drop everything to defend themselves. trumps only taken advantage of it by accident imagine how great it'll be when someone who doesn't have holes in their head exploits it

Yeah they are pretty easy to manipulate once you realize they are full of themselves and can't cope with being directly attacked/mocked

the lesson that dems will choose to learn from their 2018 blowout loss will be that the only way to win is to run a billionaire so several hundred superdelegates will immediately endorse zuckerfuck for 2020 president and beginning around april of 2019 there will be a nonstop chorus saying that he has such a huge lead that everyone else has to drop out for the sake of party unity (and there will be many takes saying that no, this is not the party establishment putting their thumb on the scale in the primary)

when you think of it, spending 2 billion on hildogs campaign kind of makes her a de facto billionare, so they already lost that way

"Jeez, what's your problem? I just want to keep another human being prisoner in my house to make them do all my housework. No, they couldn't leave. If I let them leave they wouldn't do my chores for me anymore. Look, it's -- it's not like I'd be making them pick cotton or something, c'mon, I just don't want to vacuum my living room. I am so averse to the idea of vacuuming my living room that I think it'd be pretty reasonable to force another human being to do it for me under pain of torture or death, and never let them leave or pay them any money."

Not to mention big pharma is one of the reasons why we ended up with the Obamacare mess instead of UHC or single payer.

It not surprising to see bad dems use the same attacks of sexism and racism they used against Bernie in the primary.

I wonder how they explain Corbyn making a big comeback mainly due to the youth vote share increasing by a massive amount in the snap election?

Maybe people in the 18-34 are actually more racist and xenophobic than boomers?

I don't think they literally mean "racism wasn't invented until after the 1865", but definitely that racism was used to create internecine fighting within the working class.

Poor whites will side with the slaveholders every single time as long as they get to hold the whip.
