Feldegast42 posted:A lot of the seats are gerrymandered GOP, but at just a slight advantage (I think average 5 points). A big enough wave could knock over a crap ton of seats if you have the right message and campaign. Of course the Democrats suck at both of those but with all the work that the Berniecrat wing is putting in (along with the economic populist message slowly but surely growing in the bad dems) its possible. this requires the benicrats and the democrats to come together and  if you think that's happening ever

AstheWorldWorlds posted:You are politically naive if you think the dem leadership will leave a leftist insurrection unopposed. They will try and crush it and likely succeed, then point to the impediments they helped create as reasons why centrist moderates should be run and then vigorously oppose them. The DCCC doesn't have enough funding to shut out every single Congressional race. If they did they would have done it before '18 Also a lot of the people I mentioned are signing up for local and state seats, not just Congress

Weeping Wound posted:nah, Corbyn pulled off the upset because he kept it simple and to the point: The UK has it's share of shitheads, but they don't have the ingrained hatred of sensibility like us. In a way being a leftist is conservative and a return to the good old days in the UK. They had a nationalized health care system decades before we even had Medicare. The mental default position in the UK is health care good and guns bad. We're a special kind of hosed.

No it doesn't, Democrats and leftists only think they do. 1) Healthcare for everyone, nobody's getting sick no more. 2) Jail the wealthy criminals who are out to get you, no one's gonna be poor no more. 3) Protect the environment by creating JOBS JOBS JOBS this is not hard, bing bing bong bong politics is staring us in the face and the self-serious fuckers are still coming at this like you need to flesh out your policies to the masses lol

Not really. Centrist neoliberal policy is hard to explain whereas "free education/healthcare" is an easy as gently caress sell.

mrbradlymrmartin posted:basically this post should be posted in the suck zone He's not wrong though, the Democrats have, over the past 30 years, tried hard to minimize their personal risk and play towards safe positions while the GOP has flailed repeatedly. Campaign Obama was bigly out of character for the Democrats (compare his style and approach to '00 Gore, '04 Kerry, '08 Clinton, '16 Clinton), and even though he ended up being a centrist as well, I think Obama's victory (and then Trump's) is showing the grassroots left that there is an opportunity to pull victories off even against the calcified establishment.

Seriously, nothing says civic engagement more than imploring a crowd of people to go home and use their computers. I'm gonna run for office, just straight up crib corby-poos act, call my GOP opponent a drooling mongoloid who enables your misery, and even if I lose I'll still go out more genuine and fulfilled than these spineless amoral twits.
