fool_of_sound posted:"The economy and how it is changing" is a major topic across large swathes of politics. I genuinely don't get how people don't immediately recognize this. It also heavily is influenced by land use laws and zoning laws which is politics. Malls when mixed use also have a very real effect on limiting carbon foorprints. So yeah, they are part of the concersation about what a GND would actually look like because a GND without land use is not going to be very effective in curbing emmissions.

Well she said that there were no moderates in Syria. Just Assad vs ISIS/Al-Qaeda. Also denied that Assad was using chemical weapons. Almost everything she has said about Assad has been talking points him and Russia have promoted. She also massively downplayed the Mueller Report and has taken contributions from some shady Russian dudes.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:some portion of bernie bros and horny vote prob overlap No its because Bernie is extremely fuzzy on his foreign policy details and heavily focuses on his domestic agenda. Tulsi openly supports these same domestic agenda's with some "end regime change wars" mantras for easy points from the left. It's like FYGM but for the left. I guess its more like "gently caress you get ours".

evilweasel posted:saying "convince people" is still just sprinkling magical fairy dust on your argument. the op was dumb, and dumb in a very common way that is important to understand. people with strong opinions - i.e., most of the people itt - tend to default to believing those opinions are self-evidently correct to everyone else (just like they are to the poster) and all you need to do is to properly explain them to convince people. Apologies for the long post, and sorry that the post I'm responding to is probably a few pages back by now, but: You make a very good case for Nancy Pelosi as a professional practitioner of parliamentary politics. Actually, through that lens, I have a lot of respect for her, and I see her as a good person to have in the party. If that's the only lens you can see things through, I get why you would regard anything outside of that role--such as leadership qualities--as magical fairy dust and characterize it as such and when defending Pelosi. You really did a good job dismissing my criticism, and readers of this thread will probably find your argument convincing based on your sarcastic conviction and anointment of yourself as an authority on the Speaker's role (whereas other posters have "no loving idea" how convincing people works). But what the gently caress is gained by dismissing criticism of Nancy Pelosi, and are you saying she is a good leader or just dismissing the criticism? There is a world outside the chambers of Congress and the accepted best practices of parliamentary politics. Most people live there, and they engage with what's happening in Congress by consuming media and talking to other people. Do you think the Speaker of the House and de facto leader of the Democratic Party has any tools she can wield in this realm? Or is it just the professional wheeling and dealing, counting votes and reading polls? One possible interpretation of the magical fairy dust of leadership is doing something--anything--that's not prescribed by the professional handbook and letting your enemies (and even your allies) react to you and letting the media normalize it and the public, who are not thinking machines and who have complicated emotions, to decide they like something after seeing someone do it instead of being held responsible by the party representing them for not somehow telegraphing their preferences to be empirically observed by party consultants. Do you think Nancy Pelosi is good at shaping public perception when she has meetings with Trump and then comes out and says that she'll "pray" for him? Who is she speaking to when she says that? What message is she sending, and why, and who is she NOT addressing when she says bizarre things like that? When she declares impeachment as off the table, what message does that send to people consuming the reports who don't really know a lot about politics? What about going through the trouble of sarcastically clapping at the president on the national stage and then awkwardly and confusingly walking it back a few days later? People may have different opinions on the answers to these questions, but the questions should not be dismissed as magical fairy dust. Pelosi's strengths do not magically ward off any criticism that might come her way, and they do not cancel people's yearning for a different type of leader with different strengths suited to these unusual times. Impeachment should have been on the table from day one, even when the Dems were the minority party. This is not born out of a vague desire for that magical fairy dust but a concrete criticism of Pelosi's ability to negotiate between short term and long term interests of the party (or, dare I say, the country)?A strong case can be made (and, yes, to me it is self-evident) that whether or not Trump would be removed from office, not putting the two parties on record in an impeachment proceeding is disastrous for both Democratic politics and democratic norms. Regardless of whether the Ukraine scandal happened to pop up, shouldn't the party engineer a situation at all(/most) costs that results in psychopath Tom Cotton casting a vote to acquit Trump? Being able to envision a world where Trump is a dirty word to voters who future GOP candidates are going to need and pro-actively using that to your advantage is not magical fairy dust. No one saw the effectiveness of McConnell's all-out opposition to Obama until it was too late. In fact, the Republican Party has been declared dead several times under his de facto leadership, which included doing things that were way outside the professional playbook and even considered foolish and detrimental to his party. You're right that the latest development in Ukraine amounted to the facts changing in a meaningful way. (I'm grateful for this development and hopeful that things are finally moving in the direction that I think they should go. I even acknowledge that Pelosi's decisions, in some ways, have given us an advantage now that the scale has tipped.) One aspect of the shift is how simple this scandal plays in the media. I wonder what might have been if we had party leaders who were good at SHAPING simple narratives out of the other myriad scandals and facts, sound bytes, videos, etc at their disposal instead of just waiting for one. Children in cages hammered like Benghazi day in and day out isn't a safe enough issue even for moderate Dems? Yet Pelosi wouldn't or couldn't weaponize that messaging effectively. Either way, it is political malpractice. I think it's fair to point out that Pelosi's hesitation says something about her values, and she should be criticized for this too. Maybe it's a good idea to telegraph to the public that the party cares about something that the public can relate to instead of only acting when a whistleblower from the intelligence community--the only voice with any credibility in the party leaders' eyes, apparently--comes forward to talk about the damage Trump is doing in the eyes of the foreign policy consensus. This happens to be the issue that motivated the rest of her caucus to move toward impeachment, but what if we had a leader that was willing and able to get a different caucus elected? Is it OK if we itt hope for that, or is it magical fairy dust to consider messaging that caters to literally anyone except for old, moderate suburban voters? Honestly, I think I agree with your points except for the part where you stop at everything that might come after magical fairy dust and don't delve any deeper into what these crazy posters who criticize Pelosi might be referring to because it doesn't register when viewed through the lens through which you view politics.
