Majorian posted:Which is a bullshit claim, plain and simple. When M4A polls as well as it does across the board in the U.S., it's not going to poll badly in the Midwest. She has shown herself as being capable of winning. The field is not exactly full of the unicorns people want. Right now our choices are either too old (warren, sanders), too white (hillary, biden, also old af), too problematic (booker, avenatti (lol), or are young and unproven like Beto, Gillium, or AOC. Who exactly are you going to find to do everything? https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/09/13/us/sanders-medicare-for-all-plan-support.html Outdated but how many of these people do you see beating Trump in 2020, or are not tremendously flawed in a progressive lens otherwise like former cop Harris, DNA test taking old white person Warren, or another white male.

Sydin posted:The lesson that needs to be taken away from McCaskill, Heitkamp, and Donnelly is that trying to walk a centrist blue-dog line isn't going to work because CHUD's will not cross the isle to vote for you because ultimately you still have a D next to your name, so all you're doing is throwing cold water on your actual base's enthusiasm.  I do hope that, if the Dem leadership refuses to learn this lesson, left-Dems are prepared to seize power from them. Because that's going to be what it takes.

Requesting his resignation is not the same as firing him, for purposes of replacement/confirmation.

WoodrowSkillson posted:She has shown herself as being capable of winning. In her state, sure. That doesn't necessarily translate to winning the presidency - and she won't win the presidency, if she's not prepared to take bold progressive stances that inspire the base to turn out for her. quote:Right now our choices are either too old (warren, sanders), too white (hillary, biden, also old af), too problematic (booker, avenatti (lol), or are young and unproven like Beto, Gillium, or AOC. "Too old" doesn't matter to me one iota, and it shouldn't matter to you or any right-thinking voter. We have a swiss cheese-brained senior citizen in the Oval Office right now, so the Dems running an older candidate is not going to somehow magically depress turnout. As long as Bernie picks a good VP, it really doesn't matter. And I say "Bernie," because he's easily the best chance the Dems have of beating Trump.

BardoTheConsumer posted:I'd like to take a moment to thank whatever enterprising soul in missouri realized that we apparently support decent policies as long as they dont have D by them, which is how last night we got medical marijuana, raised the minimum wage, voted yes on redistricting and on limiting campaign contributions and somehow still elected Josh Hawley the actual goblin to senate Metro East here, but yeah, this to me is proof that for MO anyway, even a guillotine leftist couldn't win because the "enlightened self-interest" chud vote is just too strong at this point. MO is a red state now, not a swing state, and we need to come to terms with that. I'd say the Yes on the Zoo Tax vote is good, but the guy running the place now is an rear end in a top hat who runs it like an amusement park and renting it out to private rich guy parties and poo poo, so its actually just bullshit corporate welfare in practice in my mind.

All firing Mueller would do is that the Democrats would at minimum interview him extensively about the investigation and much more likely hire him as a special counsel to resume the investigation.

Gort posted:So, Sessions is fired, Mueller gets fired by the new guy? As I understand it, the House can just reinstate him in January. A coup is impossible. The FBI hates him, most military officers outside of the Marines hate him, the Secret Service hates him and will turn around and take him into custody. Being a repulsive person has drawbacks.

GreyjoyBastard posted:even worse, her asian half is not han chinese The sticking point is that most of it goes back to Rahm sticking his hands into drat near everything, with Duckworth being just one consequence of his efforts to drag the party right at every level. A few snippets: https://abc7.com/archive/8554043/ https://theweek.com/articles/700846/democrats-stop-listening-rahm-emanuel I didn't keep anything on hand that's as definitive as I'd like and you'd probably be better off asking Illinois goons about it. (Some of the referred links in the articles are dead, so fleshing this out is kind of a nuisance.) Edit: hot drat did I come back to something spicy or what
