Christmas parties in academia are a big boozefest in my experience, even the cash-strapped public library I worked at in my twenties had a decent party with a DJ and a free bar.

Can confirm, work in academia-ish and they always provide a huge bowl of very alcoholic 18th century punch.

They had special "hangover rooms" with a bed at my old place of employment, for the people who couldn't get home after a booze-party.
Officially they weren't ment for that, they were for the night-shift who kept an eye on the particle-accelerator, but that one was disassembled in 1998 so the rooms got another purpose.

Is hard to care about anything when you don't believe the next year will be better than the current one. This type of people need hope before they can accept any message.
Hope is like the hot air in a Balloon.

Theory:
Now, you can identify yourself leftist or progressivist person, but if you don't have a idea how to improve this people life, you don't have anything to talk with them to reach them.

We spent 8 years improving their lives by making health care and education affordable, and they called it socialism and elected Trump. The only reasons anyone still supports Trump is because they're going to make a financial killing off of him or they're all in for white supremacy. In either case it is futile to attempt to reach them.

The problem is that "doesn't support Trump" and "is willing to go to the polls right now to vote in whichever candidate best threatens Trump's power for every elected position regardless of other concerns" don't describe the same set of people.

If you add up the sets of "Trump devotees" and "guaranteed D votes" you do not end up with the entirety of the United States or anything close to it. You get maybe 30 or 40 percent. We've got to get better at appealing to everybody else.

The GOP is remarkably apt at rigging elections through gerrymandering and vote suppression. They know how to game the system, as evidenced by how they have twice in recent history won the elections despite losing the popular vote.

The rooms were still there, but the people keeping an eye on it and the particle accelerator were gone.
(...and when they were there, they didn't do a good job.. the cleaning lady regularly messed up the control panel and they had to re-calibrate the whole thing the next morning)

Clinton won California by over 4m votes. The national popular margin was around 3m votes.

Also, the Democrats knew about Crosscheck and did nothing to stop it.

That's the major problem though, isn't it? Someone said that by 2050, 70% of the population will live in just 15 states, leave the other 35 states with a supermajority in the senate. It's bad enough at this point that the voters in Wyoming have three times more electoral power than the voters in California, but all Republicans need to do to pass anything they want anytime is just wait for Democrats to move apparently.

Hey, take it from a poor trans woman born in Arizona: it's hard, but people will find a way to survive even in the worst of shitholes. You're doing what you can where you can, right?
