Remember when we were all panicking and our very survival was dependent on John McCain voting no on healthcare repeal? Strange times, strange times.

Our victory is like a torrent that will wash away the scum of the Republican party and the Trump administration! In the voting booths, our voice is heard like a divine wind! With great force, prudence, and protest, the 2018, 2019, and 2020 elections will mirror the onslaught of 2017 and ensure the defeat of evil and ultimate victory of good!

If the hypothetical here is waiting for the republican party to start pressing for anti-gerrymandering legislation, why not wait for that - and then agree that Oh poo poo that's a good idea, now that republicans argued their point, it makes sense!? I know the game of politics is labyrinthine and intentionally socially complicated and the republFOXNEWSicans would (my guess anyway) accuse democrats of being dishonest, betraying their values, hating america and lusting for full communism.

BUT. How could you possibly spin a pro-gerrymandering angle? I'm not saying it can't be done, my heart is just not enough of a shriveled, dishonest, corridor though corruption to imagine one.

lets say 2018 is a repeat of virginia last tue. the democrats start making noise, going through the motions of gerrymandering disctricts

then behind closed doors a few key democrats propose anti gerrymandering laws to the gop leaders

the gop proposes the legislation so their voters see them blocking democrat efforts.

then the legislation fails, districts stay gerrymandered, and Democrats take all three branches in 2020?

I mean, if the GOP wants to poison pill their last chance at relevance, I guess that's on them?

Has anyone ever actually seen Trump tweet? Like, I know that supposedly he just yells at an aide who writes it down because he's a technological neanderthal, but I'm always curious how dictation manages to get translated into the word salad of caps that shows up on twitter. And what about the weird 3 am tweetstorms? Does he actually type those out himself with his old man thumbs or does he wake up his secretary or whatever?

You'd think he's been around cameras and microphones enough that someone's had to seen him do it.

Brazile has a long and storied history of really bad institutional decisions within the DNC and she is, herself, ably representative of ways and incentives within the DNC that give the party the seemingly magic ability to "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory" — along with the other extremely unmerited leaders of the DNC, she needs to go. Badly.

I only support what she is doing insofar as it helps shine a spotlight on institutional dysfunction in the DNC, but I categorically include her and her present agenda as dysfunction as well.

I love how Xi and Trump are apparently super great buds now until he inevitably stabs him in the back on the way out like he did Abe, who I don't even like really and figure has overstayed his welcome as Japanese PM by a good few years already, but absolutely sucked the guys cock for 48 hours hoping to get the U.S back into their trade deal to basically get a "Nope Japan/US trade agreement and TPP deal still unfair to U.S because *insert bullshit reasoning* will demand a renegotiation". Maybe the guy will learn his lesson about expecting anything out of Trump or for him to return hospitality with open mindedness.
