northam is more likely to win than not, but a loss seems likely to trigger a full-blown self-immolation. democrats were already freaking out about ossoff. losing virginia would be rough.

empty whippet box posted:I always get weirded out when people post stuff like this that seems a lot like really biased propaganda. Over 90% of bernie voters went for hillary. There is no reason to think they wouldn't vote for the dem candidate in a special election. It just seems like you're trying to push anti-bernie sentiments at the slightest provocation to me.

My understanding was that Northam had always taken that weird stance of "if a sanctuary city started I'd stop it, but I won't preemptively ban them". I guess the problem is that he keeps talking about that loving issue instead of ignoring it and pressing more favorable topics. Dems really need to get their jujitsu on this topic down pat and stop letting Republicans dictate the narrative of these races.

Rinkles posted:Demoralizes democratic base right before an election? If it was 2018 I'd be more worried, but NJ and VA are the two on the chopping block, and VA chose Hillary twice--in the primaries and in the general, even when PA, MI, WI, and FL chose Trump. Says something about the direction the state is trending.

Staying home is why Republicans win and democrats lose and they just got their weapon from a centrist trying to make a quick buck, as usual. Im betting democrats are so loving mad at trump right now they will vote just to get the republicans of office. I honestly dont care who is running im going straight ticket D rest of my life. Nothing motivates like hate apparently.

The acting AG would be Rosenstein though right? The only person who could fire Mueller without canning Rosenstein first would have to be confirmed by the Senate.

It just feels all too familiar, you know? The last second before the election and someone leaks info that damages the candidates. It almost feels like a repeat, ya know? I mean, hell, polls can't make me feel better because, ya know, last year. And the assurances mean little since, from what I learned, everyone reacted to the Comey Letter like they reacted to this. So, it falls on deaf ears. I'm going to vote straight D on Nov 7th, but it's hard to shake this feeling.

I guess in a way I was lucky to be raised Republican with the "Always vote straight ticket, party if not the man" ethos. It's transferred over nicely since I realized I was on the wrong God drat side of humanity. I will never forgive the GOP for turning my family from mellow Kasich assholes to Trumpist monsters. Voting D with no fucks given may not erase my 2008 support for Palin, but damnit, the conservatives have earned my eternal contempt and they're gonna loving get it till I'm six feet under.

Alt right is calling on Sessions to resign and be replaced so Mueller can be fired by the replacement. Not sure I understand. Can't Trump directly fire Mueller?

Yeah, I also don't think even they are stupid enough to think that Mueller getting fired would actually put an end to the investigation. It might postpone things somewhat and cause trouble but it'd just be another obstruction of justice charge in the end.

The biggest argument against any elaborate plan is that they've shown absolutely nothing over the past 10 months to even imply that they are capable of thinking a plan of action through.
