animist posted:looking forward to democrats completely failing to accomplish anything for 2 years despite whatever paltry gains they make in the house of reps Uh, yeah, in anything other than that Dem Scream Death scenario above, the best they could hope to do is ineffectually pass legislation that Trump vetoes. Well, they can impeach Trump (they should) but he's not getting convicted by the Senate unless Mueller drops a loving bombshell (unlikely) or rank and file Republicans turn on Trump (lol). Best case scenario, this election is still just about building a base for President Bernie in 2020.

I genuinely think Trump might do the Clinton 94-96 thing and pass some poo poo the dems want like DACA and infrastructure if only so he can claim to be greatest bipartisan president in history if the dem wave is big enough in the house so that he can't just pretend it didn't happen

If he were able to make this kind of pivot, he would have done so to really put the screws to red district Dems, but he couldn't do that. Yinlock posted:considering the fuckery republicans pulled with house control there's a lot they can do, but won't because they're spineless fucks Oh, I'm not going to even dream that they might have that kind of spine, but the way the House is structured, the Speaker has a crazy amount of power. I get the point about discharge petitions, but that requires the legislation in question to actually be able to get 50%, which the GOP was unable to muster on pretty much anything, and that's with the majority and a full court press from leadership. It's gonna be complete deadlock on everything, government shutdowns will be frequent, and nothing will pass at all.

So here is what the Dems are saying they'll do if they win the House https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/democrats-2018-midterms-policy_us_5bda0810e4b019a7ab59e44e quote:The bill will include the creation of a small-donor public financing system for congressional elections, the restoration of the Voting Rights Act, nationwide automatic voter registration, nonpartisan redistricting reforms for congressional elections and a host of ethics reforms to rein in corruption in Congress and the executive branch. Of course, they'll squabble like crazy and struggle get any of this passed in the House, where it'll be DOA in a Republican Senate

Rep. Marsha Blackburn is airing an ad where she talks about how, as the daughter of a World War II veteran, she is familiar with how America is always one generation from slipping away One way to spot a dirtbag politician is when they start talking about the nobility of their ancestry, and I'm not talking about race or wealth even, I'm talking about stuff like how Scout's aunt in To Kill a Mockingbird decided her family was better than everyone else's because they had college-educated ancestors going back a greater number of generations than other people in the town. People bring up stuff like "my grandfather was a coal miner" in order to distract from how little they have to positively say about themselves Of course, since everything Republicans say is projection, I can only take this to mean that Republicans see themselves as a generation away from the finish line of crushing American democracy underneath a Nazi's boot

Here is a good writeup about three competitive, flippable house races in Washington state. I live in the 8th district and can attest to the heavy volunteer presence for Schrier. I’ve had volunteers show up at my door at least half a dozen times in the past couple of months, all for Schrier; that’s what I normally see in a presidential year, total, for all candidates. Hell, after I voted but my girlfriend still hadn’t, volunteers kept coming to follow up on her ballot. Almost all of the volunteers were women, except for a nice young gay couple. The 8th has probably been flippable for awhile, but the retiring incumbent never did anything particularly offensive, and has been coasting for awhile on his reputation as being the sheriff who caught The Green River Killer. So, he kept getting re-elected. I even voted for him a couple of times when the Democrats ran Some Dude who made no effort to campaign, which I didn’t want to reward. Anyway, this seat will probably finally flip this year, and remain competitive in 2020. If the Democrats can flip WA-5, there goes Kathy McMorris-Rodgers. She’s the highest-ranking Republican woman in the house, 5th in line overall or something like that. The Stranger posted:If Democrats lose all three competitive Congressional races in Washington State on election day (or at some point during the tedious, ballot-chasing weeks thereafter), it won't be for lack of trying.
