So thread! I have a voting question I think you can help me with. I put in an offer on a lake house up in Michigan this weekend. Theoretically if I were to get an accepted offer and buy it could I register to vote up here instead of Indiana where I will be living most of the time? I figure as long as I don’t vote in both states I should be good right? Also after Donnelly’s horrific loss I believe my and my wife’s votes would be better placed in Michigan where maybe we can help it from going red again, along with governor races and the senate. So is this feasible? Or should I keep trying and failing miserably to get something good to happen in Indiana?

Yeah I would check both states' residency requirements, and do some research because there could be both legal and tax consequences.

pumpinglemma posted:No poo poo short-termism brought us to this situation. That doesn't change the fact that from this situation, sacrificing the short term is no longer survivable. It is possible that a loss in the short term is "survivable" (though that's a pretty drat vague term in itself) on account of Donald Trump being a sundowning incompetent at everything except twitter burns. On the other hand, it is vastly less likely that having a competent fascist in charge of the GOP would be survivable, and that's where the current political trajectory is taking us. So the real question is how to best change that trajectory, and evidence shows us that trying to scold individual voters sure as poo poo ain't it. Then again, Dems losing an election is most likely not it either since the establishment has been able to maintain their death grip on the party despite losing over and over.

The fact that dem candidates are being successful with small money donations against corporate PAC backed incumbents/primary rivals gives me a lot of hope.

What are the chances that Trump gets to live down all the crap he caused during his presidency? I suspect that all his failing businesses will be be propped up by Russia, Israel and Saudi Arabia for the rest of his life as compensation for services rendered.

Spoke Lee posted:If the R's had their way and were able to change Medicaid into a block grant, in home support services would have their budgets slashed including personal care assistants. This is what allows the severely disabled to live independently. Without this we can't feed ourselves, shower, use the bathroom, get dressed, or work. We have to surrender our freedom and become institutionalized. With all the abuse that entails. But Republicans have also cut funding to public health institutions, so anyone disabled will likely end up starving to death on the street.

He wasn't just the level of incoherence we expected from Trump, when they got to Paris he was in bad shape. Like, to the extent that his staff knew he couldn't meet with other world leaders. Confused, angry, scared, full-on pathetic old man senile. Worse than they expected, which is why he couldn't go the scheduled literal walk around a park. And it's continuing on to the second day of the trip, so it wasn't just one bad day. Trump is deteriorating fast.

Trump is deteriorating fast. I remember a couple weeks ago in the Trump thread, saying that Trump will not take the midterms positively and end up retreating into isolation to the point we will have periods where we don't see or hear of him for days. I had thought it would be almost immediately. but it looks like it's happening now. Has Trump met with the press in France? I heard Jim Acosta's there and there's nothing he can do about it, so I'm sure he's avoiding him by not going to any of press junkets while there.

kidkissinger posted:What leftist doesn't believe this? Not even the Marxist-Leninists I know think that the Dems are worse than the GOP. Maybe they believe it, I don't know. I wouldn't glean it from most commentary in threads like these where posters spend 95% of the time complaining about Dems. Seems pointless. On the rare occassions when socialists get elected to state or federal office, for example, they caucus with Dems anyways. Just admit who your allies are. You don't have to agree with them on everything to get poo poo done. Soviets could ally with the US to beat the Axis. Not really complicated or controversial. The Republicans know who their fascist allies are, I assure you of that.

Themagicalgoat posted:I don't really get why leftists love to complain about Democrats on the internet. I mean, I guess they'll at least have a reasonable argument with you, unlike a Republican or conservative. But if you can't pull a Chomsky and admit to yourself that the Republican Party is one of the most evil organizations in US and world history, then what are you even doing? What is useful about quibbling with degrees of responsibility when you know for a fact that the Republican rank and file voter will lie to you, live in bad faith and vote for a fascist? I'd rather hold them responsible and focus my anger and frustration at them. Everything else, from voting to protesting or whatever policy you want is a tactical disagreement about how to deal with the same enemy, right? Because the Democrat party has serious problems and the only way to address them is by actually addressing them? Criticism can be constructive. This kind of team sports mentality isn't really helping things. You are the guy flipping tables when someone suggests your football team should work on it's coaching. AT LEAST IT AIN'T THE PACKERS! Giving a free pass to your party or what it does simply because it's not the most bad party has worked out really great so far.

Sadly your system leaves people with literally only 2 options and ways to waste your vote. So you only get two choices once you get to the ballot. If you're worried about your democratic options, you need to be a part of the process much earlier on. But once you get to the ballot, you're either voting for or against, it's a sad reality, but it is your reality.

Rectal Death Adept posted:Because the Democrat party has serious problems and the only way to address them is by actually addressing them? Criticism can be constructive. The analogy doesn't really fit. The answer to improving Dems is to get involved with the party, even if its just by voting in the primaries. But itt people are admitting that they have no faith in the Dem's primaries. To use your analogy in that case, even when the idea of working on coaching is suggested, some just admit that they have no faith in the coach to work on that aspect of his job.
