yeah of course they're a liequote:There's a partisan divide — about six in 10 Democrats approve of Mueller's handling of the probe, compared to just two in 10 Republicans. Independents are divided, with 43 percent approving and 42 percent disapproving. only independents are 43 percent favorable - but actually even less independents disapprove lol eke out fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Nov 7, 2018 |

Yeowch!!! My Balls!!! posted:the most obvious solution to this problem is to try to find an issue in the democrats' wheelhouse that tests well in such areas I agree. There's a lot of people in this forum who've been banging the message that it's impossible to convince Republicans to vote Democratic and that elections are all about turning out your side. That may work in the House and for the presidency, but frankly it isn't going to work in the Senate. Democrats are going to have to find a way to convince R voters in these rural states that the Republican party does not have their best interests at heart. It's not easy but there isn't much of a choice.

evilweasel posted:Yeah this is why as much as i hated red state democratic senators, we badly needed them: 2020 is a huge inflection point and stuff like voting rights reform and PR/DC statehood are so directly tied to the viability of the Democratic party that they'd probably support those and no Republican, however 'moderate' will. If Tester and Sinema can pull out wins despite being slightly down in the count right now (I have little hope for a Nelson recount but Tester and Sinema aren't dead yet), it might be possible to do this: I think we can swing 52-48. I don't know we can swing 54-46. It's worth trying in some of the nearly-empty states. Won't cost that much and it's not like there's anything to lose.

Oxxidation posted:the uncomfortable truth being that there is no way to convince them and R voters (and americans in general) just want death Yeah the bigger problem is that I think support there has way less to do with policy or self-interest and pure tribal identity. The Republicans could campaign on “we will kill your dog” and the dem on “we’ll grant your wishes” and the Republican would win.

AlBlaybleCharacter posted:I didn't buy this one but I am gonna run with it so I bought the name  It's pretty telling that ORANGE MAN BAD was not really an obvious alt-right plant. If it weren't a /pol/ meme it's something I could see carrying to a protest for the humor of it. Hell, even the NPC meme itself feels more like "we, the faceless and ignored" rather than "those people without souls". You have to be really online to know what it really means.

Yeowch!!! My Balls!!! posted:those are absolutely things that need to be done, no question here Well, no. You're not being serious about democracy, but there's no reason you can't leverage small states in the midwest the same as states like CT, RI. There's no fundamental reason that not living on the coast means you can never vote for progressive policies, it's just that those policies are verboten by the elite donor class so you can't run on them. McCascall running away from minimum wage and getting slaughtered for it comes to mind. Clearly that was a progressive policy her state embraced wholeheartedly.

It's weird how slanted the national narrative is against the Democrats. Here's an angle that I don't see enough of: The Democrats won the House for the first time since 2010. The Tea Party is loving over. Like forget Trump for a minute, the house has been a disaster since Obama. That's all changing now. For the first time in nearly a decade, the House Science Committee will be lead by a person who actually believes in climate science. Somethings happening yall
