Proud Christian Mom posted:the GOP will absolutely try to prevent Moore from running again anywhere but he isn't the type of guy that takes "No" for an answer What a renegade... He really Also that clip of Moore on the horse who had enough of his poo poo was positively Dukakisian in retrospect.

I'm going hunting in Alabama in a few weeks, and this election was kinda making me feel bad about paying the license fee to the state. While I'm still not exactly stoked about giving money to them, at least I know there's zero chance Roy Moore will have any influence on how it's spent.  Seconding Wind River - I watched it a few weeks ago on Netflix (Prime?), and it was easily worth the fee for the month.

Immanentized posted:The same director/writer did a movie called Seven Psychopaths a few years back, also featuring Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson. It's more along the comedy lines, but retains his really dark sensibilities. Generally recommending to anyone who's down to watch a two hour dialogue-heavy comedy. Great payoff in the end. he also did In Bruges, which has Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes in it. I think that one is his best work but all of his films are definitely worth checking out. Like most directors he seems to have actors he likes working with but so far the only guy in all three has been Zeljko Ivanek

I have a lot of problems with Pete King, but he's an old school classic party politician who at least actually respects the functions of government. He used to be tight with the large Muslim community in his district but 9/11 kinda broke his brain (ironic, considering he was a HUGE supporter of the IRA.) One of my favorite King quotes: quote:I hate Ted Cruz, and I think I'll take cyanide if he ever got the nomination. Smiling Jack fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Dec 13, 2017 |

He's just as willing to throw bombs at his own party if it suits him. He's a hack and an embarrassment. (and a cynical white supremacist with the most anti-immigrant views in the House)

NY Times podcast The Daily has a guy on who made some interesting points. Particularly that yes, Moore won big amongst white people, the democrats turned enough suburban and affluent white republicans to either vote Jones or go third-party to make a difference. The guy says these are the people who vote Bush/Romney without any issues. That along with the huge turnout for black people were what won the election for Jones. You all wanna talk about a dipshit democrat candidate because we got one in Illinois campaigning for governor. JB Pritzker has an estimated worth of 3 billion. He comes from a wealthy rear end family, so his money wasn't earned. He has no real policies beyond "NOT TRUMP." He's like a blind man's interpretation of Jay Leno gone awry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzz9Ne5d3Z8 bloops fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Dec 13, 2017 |

gently caress the process and gently caress keeping up appearances. This is basically war with the poo poo the republicans are trying to pull. gently caress anyone who thinks we need to be nice and respectful to people literally trying to make you poor and dead.

And while that guy definitely looks like a dipshit at least he knows to pay people to make non-poo poo ads. Politicans making poo poo ads have probably swung 5% of the vote against them because TV is so important to lazy voters

Unsustainable if you aim to keep voters voting democrat for years What worked in Virginia for that woman and Jones was talking to people about everyday issues that immediately impacted their lives day to day. Jones called that “kitchen table issues.”

The guy says these are the people who vote Bush/Romney without any issues. They say that every time, no matter the electoral outcome. The income of a lot of democratic politicians and consultants seems to depend on their not understanding the success of populist candidates, whether Trump or Sanders. I share Sir Charles' hope that after this election at least some of them wake up and start helping black people again.

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri was more dark and sad than a dark comedy. I advise waiting for it to go on hbo or showtime instead of paying box office ticket money. I really want to see that movie. Maybe it's the 13 or so years living in small town Missouri. I dunno, but it hits close to home for me.

Perez has pretty much come out and said this, because it's much more effective at actually getting people elected than worrying about messaging on the national level. Yes, anti-Trump messaging helps, but ground-level stuff translates that into actual wins.

cowboy elvis posted:If it worked back in the day, why was this strategy abandoned? Because Democrats thought they could ride the popularity of Obama and abandon their focus on state level politics. Part of the reason why they lost so many seats at the national and local level in 2010 was because they thought Obama being Obama would be enough. They dedicated their resources to national level messaging, rather than focusing efforts at the grass roots to recruit local candidates.

For 8 years Republicans told their base a sad story without coming up with alternatives. Now they have nothing but poo poo plans from healthcare to taxes and can barely govern. If the Dems spend the next 3-7 years like the Republicans did this country is hosed. As much as I like Nancy, I really hate her grip on leadership. The Dems need new blood at the top, I wish she would realize this.

Without numbers, it’s difficult to see the swing. It’s muddled here. Alabama has something like the 6th or 7th highest percentage of the population with HS degree or less. Targeting these voters is core to success in the state for any political race. I’m not sure this can be racked up as a Democrat or Jones win as much as a rejection of Moore himself. 2020 is going to be interesting to say the least.
