COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

Hey guys, its time to talk some game theory.

If the left / berniecrats / DSA do sweep a bunch of seats in 2018 would that give enough critical mass to call a election in the DNC to reform it and unseat Tom Perez? What did you have to do and be to get a vote in that election anyways?

I think at that point you just ignore him and the DNC in general.

And the Dems responding to the election of Trump with "what if we elected a minority talk show host billionaire instead" is perfectly bad dem.

Jill Stein sat at a table with Putin once :supaburn:

e: you guys don't understand, they were at a table

who knows what they talked about at that table :tinfoil:
Just remember it's most likely projection.

They believe if Hillary was at that table some wheeling and dealing would've went on because that's how things are
So if it's an obviously course of action, of course others would do it.
Others in competition to Hillary, who we know is to save America that is already great
Competition colluding with parties to bring down the great scion

Thus: Jill/Bernie are russian agents

This is basically a 1990s-era Republican manifesto, but the federal government is run by idiots now so I guess states' rights is the progressive wave of the future

In a federalist system, state's rights have always been very important. Only idiots assume that one or the other is bad.

just a reminder that Clinton's '96 telecomms deregulation bill contributed to America having now one of the worst internet services and accessibility in the developed world while allowing telecomm monopolies to charge absurd hundreds of billions of economic rents because of the lifting of price controls

Each level of government has it's own niche and intended oversight

Consolidating datacenterspower to the messy slow bureaucratic machine of the federal government for many things is authoritarian and inefficient.


Also republicans are for big government if they are in control, but not when they are not in control.

given the fervor of the nation at the time, and the information being shared by the intelligence community, this was merely a reasonable position based on the desires of her audience. It wasn't her fault that she was mislead!

Ezra's right that a lot of people would prefer to be able to tune out politics, but

1. if you encourage that tendency, those people won't vote
2. you need to meet their basic human needs in order for them to be able to tune out politics
