This is perverse. He's a democrat that never votes democrat. He voted for Carter but somehow felt it was right to vote for Reagan twice, and every republican presidential candidate that followed. Visual representation of this person's thought processes:

you laugh but this guy can make some serious money going around to various right wing talk shows saying he's a lifelong Democrat who is horrified at the nominee There's a couple regulars on fox news who have been doing this since Kerry at least. One of them had a bowtie, but I don't think it was Starnes

I don't know if Slate is good or bad as I've never read it before, but I followed that twitter image I posted before to a very fun to read article. Really gets you into the mind of who earnestly still believes Trump will win.canepazzo posted:https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/635185617475923968 Trump, once again, owned by his own words.

"Wait, I can re-register with a different party whenever I want and still go back if I change my mind? I didn't know that. Would the Republicans accept me?" "Frankly, you sound a littler smarter than their base. So, they might be afraid you'll raise the bar too high to meet."

His gold according to Plutarch would be worth $8 billion today but it was also equal to the annual budget of the Republic. So it would be like someone being worth $3 trillion today. Either way he was incomprehensibly wealthy.

Is there any data for millennial Hillary supporters by gender? I wonder if more millennial women will vote for her then men, seems likely? Or are the millennial girls just as hip and anti-establishment as the guys and don't care about the first female prez

He's a cheap whiny little loser, and whenever he loses he can't acknowledge any fault or wrong; the system must be crooked or wrong if it produced any result other than him being #1. People identify him as this swaggering alpha male character, but his whole life screams insecurity and weakness. Rich white guy who bullies everyone arond him while bragging about everything and spewing neo-Nazi style "truth" without comeuppance. He's what dumb, insecure people think success and strengthlook like and dream of being, so they latch onto him despite any evidence.

Mokelumne Trekka posted:#BasementDwellers = the end of Hillary? I saw someone on facebook (commenting on an accelerationist article touting the benefits of Hillary losing because progressives voted for Jill Stein, no less) trying to spin it as her revealing her true hatred for the dumb plebs who she can't wait to rule, and I actually for once decided to engage by just pointing out that in the full context she's actually empathizing with the basement dwellers rather than belittling or mocking them. Time will tell if it will actually change this person's mind (lol it won't obviously).

The part that gets me is that all those problems do exist for people in that age range. Identifying them isn't making fun of them. And politicians identify problems that specific groups have all the time.

That, and anybody who has been paying any attention to the Democratic Party this last year and half knows full well that "living in parent's basement and working as an overqualified barista" is the exact same language they have been using, in no small part because it's a very quick and expressive way to turn their concerns into something quotable

At it's worst it's mildly dumb in how it equivocates leftist-far leftist views with far right views, and perhaps slightly condescending in how it portrays millenials' knowledge of leftist views and their socioeconomic situations like i don't love the quotes but they're not anything to get worked up over at all

The basement dweller thing would've caught on already if it had any real traction, I think. Although it'll be hard for anything to take right now considering that Trump is still melting down. And also nothing she said was that objectionable, she just should've chosen her words better. Only thing that gave me pause was her waxing on the impossibility of having socialized health care/higher education given that she's been pitching tuitionless college a lot lately, but it was back in February so it could be possible she's been swayed.

The percentages don't sum to 100% - presumably undecideds make up the rest. There's an 18% differences between 18-34 men for Hillary vs 18-34 women for Hillary, but a 11% difference between 18-34 men for Hillary vs Trump and a 44% difference between 18-34 women for Hillary vs Trump. +18% is probably the more accurate answer for the original question.

Nah, the far-leftist champion is one of the dozens of socialist fraction party candidates out there. And each of those are actually more likely to ever see political office again than Jill Stein! Jill Stein is the "aunt and uncle who are really into crystals" champion.
