Kamala thought liberal application of the justice system would provide a good response to poor school attendance. That was *profoundly* poor judgement, from someone who drat well should've known better, at best.

I guess it’s the gay space communism I’ve contracted but when i see “tax cuts the middle class” I read “handouts to rich white people” and “credits for low income” i read “catch 22 poo poo that will gently caress over black/Latino people.”

Have there been any serious think pieces about what Kamala would actually have to say and do to make everyone forget she was a loving cop?

I'm not sure Harris can re-gain the voters that Trump poached in 2016, specifically the white working class. Racism played a huge part in their vote. In fact, how do you win back these people without reverting to the same rhetoric? Ideally, you shouldn't have to cater to them and they can go gently caress themselves, but they're unfortunately a hugely important voting block.

I keep coming back to how she let Mnuchin off the hook. I don't see how you can credibly run on prosecuting Trump and his cronies with that in your past, no matter how much you apologize for it.

Ogmius815 posted:I can’t wait until Kamala wins the nomination with strong support from numerous traditional Democratic constituencies, you fuckers attack her mercilessly while supporting an rear end in a top hat leftistbro candidate with no chance of winning who refuses to drop out well into June, then you fuckers don’t vote and Trump wins. Then you all go “lol the Democrats are so bad they can’t even beat Trump”. People here are gonna vote for anyone who isn’t Trump at the end of the day. The ones you need to persuade are the vulnerable and disaffected. The people for whom voting represents an actual cost benefit analysis, whos votes are being actively repressed, the people for whom it’s difficult to actually even get to a voting location. If you cannot give them a sufficient message of hope to be bothered then guess what that’s a failure of the party not the voter.

FizFashizzle posted:Racial disparity in childbirth deaths is a noble problem to address but I'm not really sure what can happen at the federal level. There's 2 things you'd need to worry about : subconscious racism from practitioners, and generally poor handling of maternal care during child birth in the US. The former I have no idea how to tackle, since as you say it's an individual thing. For the latter, propublica has done good investigations of maternal care and fatality rates during and after delivery https://www.propublica.org/series/lost-mothers. The US has the highest mortality rate in the developed world. IIRC, they blamed that partly on poor procedures in place at hospitals. Doctors occasionally ignore signs and symptoms which lead to the death of the mother. Setting up some kind of board or agency which researches cases of maternal death and standardizes care might help with this. You might also hope that better standards would improve the care for women of color as well (IF they're applied the same as white women). I think one of the reasons women of color die more often is that symptoms which can lead to death are more often ignored. You'd have to train doctors to just follow established procedures better and hope that they don't ignore the procedures for women of color. edit: fixed the link Eeyo fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Jan 21, 2019 |

House Democrats received 10 million more votes in the last midterm than Republicans. quote:The Democrats also won the popular vote by a margin of 8.6%, the largest margin on record for a minority party. Turnout was the highest for a midterm election in more than a century, with over half the electorate casting ballots. That was with a good economy. It's a problem with Ohio and Florida but very good results in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan and every state Hillary won. If the Democrat gets those, they win.

He did worse than Romney and Bush Jr. and gained among racists who had become apathetic over the decades of the 21st century. His base is the same as the usual republican base, only they're excited rather than resigned. Where he really went weird and wild was in the primaries, which are usually the domain of poli-sci dorks and lanyards.

I'd rather her not be president but I would be lying if I said it wasnt a bit reassuring that someone who is willing to cage fight the right is in the running. She's been pretty good on investigative councils, as we have seen. That is of course a surface read and yes, she is not the leftist we need right now.

I have heard that Hillary painting Trump as an aberration and courting of Republican voters disgusted with him was really bad for the downballot. I suspect the GOP devoting itself to Trump in a way that couldn't be ignored meant that some of the 2016 'Hillary on top but I'm still a Republican' people voted exclusively for Democrats in 2018.

Fuckin' hysterical. None of the context of the events at the Lincoln Memorial is meaningful. Whether you examine it all or strip it all away, what you're left with is a group of white male kids in MAGA hats doing Tomahawk chops and mocking a Native American demonstrator at a Native Peoples' demonstration to people standing in the demonstration area. What you are left with is the specter of white supremacy mocking a man remembering his lost civilization. Who gives a poo poo about anything else? THAT happened. None of the context makes it look better.
