Do you guys think there's enough time to organize everyone to get on board with not re-electing anyone for the next 6 years or so? Dem or Repub or anywhere in between, I feel like this country needs a hard reset, and definitely some younger blood up in Congress.

I'm fine with not reelecting any Republicans. The Democrats are actually sane, though. They shouldn't be punished for this bullshit.

I'm inclined to agree with yous, but I feel like those that were complicit in the DNC choosing Hillary over berning man need to be ousted too, because that was such a bonehead fuckin move.

We definitely need to start organizing for the midterms coming up, like listing who all is on the chopping block in what states and GOTV efforts for all the LAZY PISSBABIES who enjoy not voting and not being bothered by any of this.

You will need those pissbabies because you want to eliminate the majority of Democrat primary voters in some sort of purity purge.

When it comes to reporters and the media, some are still desperately invested in the idea that the current situation is manageable and only slightly outside the norm, instead of a festering political crisis. Essentially George W. Bush except wackier.

You could see this especially clearly after he launched the Tomahawks at Syria. You could practically hear half the media go "Thank God! He's JUST a neocon warmongerer!"

“Don’t offer support” for the “concrete policy positions” of Black Lives Matter protesters, the chief organization charged with electing Democrats to the House of Representatives warned its candidates in an internal memo leaked online on Wednesday.

I voted for Bernie too but even disregarding the superdelegates and poo poo, more people voted for Hillary in the primaries. She won fair and square.

Basically my original point I was trying to make was:

There's loooooots of motherfuckers that have done some hosed up poo poo and made some real bad choices on which horse to bet on, and a lot of them fuckers have been in there for 20-30 years. It's time we fuckin' take a good hard look at every single motherfucker up for reelection for a while, and even if they've got a mostly good track record, if they've done some really questionable poo poo a time or two when pressured, get em the gently caress out.

Representing your fellow Americans was supposed to be a great honor but it never actually has been. Let's make it that way, together.

You were here for the Kale meltdown, were you not? It's lovely, but I really think publicly supporting BLM policies would be politically disadvantageous. Platitudes are fine but as soon as talk turns towards actually fixing things white fragility rears its ugly head again.

I looked up the numbers on the DACA program, apparently the vast majority come from Mexico (here's a spreadsheet from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services). That spreadsheet seems to have 1 million+ people accounted for, but I may not understand the categories.

I just can't fathom the logistics. The only hope is that they get added as a low priority to the queue, and because the system is already hosed up they just skate by for a few years until a president with actual compassion comes along.

I'm sure the way of bagging will be personal preference, ie whatever is the most fun way.

I reckon the six months is so they can negotiate where they're gonna dump em all over the border and/or legislate a way to get em across a border faster than we do now.
