instead of chasing the current electorate which seems to favor republicans maybe the electorate could be expanded to the millions of people that don't vote because "neither party cares about them" a pity the democrats the are fixated on the former

Frijolero posted:It was chanted when Leon Panetta addressed the convention. Why Dems invited Panetta is beyond me lol The ostensible reason is that people like Panetta and Bloomberg were there as never Trump conservatives with a dash of trying to paint Trump as a tacky, gauche nouveau riche because that's how you win against populism apparently. Beneath that it's likely they would have had roles in the Clinton admin, Bloomberg was angling very hard for a cabinet seat at the time.

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:No More War -- USA is the best one The fact that some of the others say "join them" makes it better because it means that when they sat down and considered how to respond to "no more war" they had the option of telling people to join in. But instead they concluded it was better to drown it out with jingoism.

Why not join in? "Ban fracking now?" Now wait just a minute, there's money on the line here
