Spite posted:If the democrats were smart they would be all over florida registering displaced puerto ricans and bombing facebook with impeachment ads. I'd have every single trump supporting boomer's feed flooded with anti trump ads until they get fed up and quit the platform. The only people in this state doing any of what you said are DSA, SRA, etc. Seriously the best candidates the Dems can come up with are former Republicans like Charlie Crist who switched sides after they got primaried by Tea Partiers, and carpetbagging septuagenarian fucks from New Jersey.

theflyingorc posted:If demographics are not headed in the right direction, things are absolutely not going to get better in the long term, not with modern polarization, no. Not without getting a shitload worse first, like Civil War levels. It would be trivial for Democrats to win national elections if they put forward a candidate that was pushing a coherent ideology and a vision for the future. We don't need demographics to do that, what we need is real leadership.

ewiley posted:Lying on polls is just one aspect, it's also the effort required to vote. No absentee ballots? Not enough polling locations? Long lines at polls? People will give up and not vote unless the candidate is hugely inspiring (like people waiting hours to vote for Obama) or they are scared of the alternative. True, Voter Suppression is a problem and something the Democrats need to focus on fixing. Still, I think the suburbs turning against trump in a PResidental year will be something that voter suppression can't fix.

"It's so nice to have a corrupt President that is so transparent!"  Why the gently caress doesn't the GOP just come out and say "look he helps the rich get richer and puts conservative judges on benches, that's all we need" They would lose absolutely nothing from doing so

I was suspended from Twitter for telling Trump to 'Drop Dead', put in my appeal form that Twitter made a mistake being born, "gently caress you and gently caress this website" and about ten minutes later my suspension was overturned.

Rigel posted:That choice did not need to be made at all. We could have stayed at minimal cost and Turkey would never, ever have invaded. But this is policing the world, forever war, etc. What's the less militant answer that the No More Soldiers, No More Wars crowd would propose that wouldn't just be about as lovely? I don't know what it is, and now we have people on the left sounding like John McCain. robotsinmyhead posted:This Turkey invasion thing rings almost word-for-word like Lebensraum in WWII. It's chilling. If a Democrat did this we'd be hearing about appeasement and Chamberlain forever.

pkay posted:Lol this guy. Obama was a complete charlatan 10 but at least he communicated a coherent ideology and channeled a genuine desire for a better vision of the future. Bernie lays out a very clear vision of the future and has a clear coherent ideology. Look at the amount of support and enthusiasm these individuals have been able to generate amongst leftists. Now look at Hillary Clinton, a woman who promoted herself is the literal Queen of the status quo. She isn't President because she couldn't Inspire anyone to get out and vote for her, and instead relied on promoting how awful Trump was rather than giving her voters a reason to vote for her. (The privileged white computer touchers in this thread really just have no relevant life experiences with what actual leadership is- that's my hot take on me this debate.)

Bernie lays out a very clear vision of the future and has a clear coherent ideology. Look at the amount of support and enthusiasm these individuals have been able to generate amongst leftists. There's something to be said for effective and inspirational leadership and the value of providing a vision for the future. Even the Trump/right wing celebrity supporting friends I've talked to have, at one point or another, expressed how the lack of a tangible goal or purpose in life was making it harder for them not to embrace nihilism. And it's a fair point: how many politicians have talked about where we're going, and what they're going to do to ensure that we're going to get there? FYGM isn't proving to be a strong enough prescription for the future. Data Graham posted:Meanwhile everybody who works for a bank or B2B or really any company over a certain size has to sit through hours of anti-corruption training certifications every goddamn year It's pretty strange how legal restrictions and guidelines mean less when you occupy more important positions.
