Interesting article about a democrat trying to flip Asian voters in Delay’s old district: https://twitter.com/by_jmiller/status/1037385088227581953?s=21 I did think it was pretty funny when the reporter referred to Tamils as “Tamilians.”

Politicians usually ignore Asians because of language barrier or just not knowing how to approach. It's a chicken and egg situation because Asians are also really apathetic voters.

Also this is maybe a little too inside baseball but Texas Tribune put out a strategic plan today and it's pretty good: https://twitter.com/TexasTribune/status/1037294522735190016 I assume most of y'all know about Texas Tribune but if you don't I'd encourage you to read it and consider becoming a member - they're amazing and every other state in the country is worse off for not having an organization like this (even if Evan Smith is full of himself).

Lyin' Ted Cruz. Here's an article about his campaign manager (also running his Senate campaign this year): https://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/ted-cruz-tricks-jeff-roe-219945quote:There was the time in 2006 when Roe ran an ad with the letters “XXX” flashing on screen to link the woman running against Graves to pornography because she sold ads for a science magazine printed by the same company that published Penthouse. One of Roe’s opponents that year later took Roe to court for defamation (unsuccessfully), after Roe peddled a story on his blog that the candidate as a teen had drunkenly killed his best friend in a dump-truck accident. (The accidental death had happened, but no drinking was involved.) BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Sep 6, 2018 |

IMO it's good because it's sowing confusion and fear amongst mine enemies. Also forcing all these dudes who hate the gently caress out of trump to publicly lick his boots to prove they aren't the apostate.

Did we, though? I mean, he's in office due to an anachronistic concession to slave owners, and disobeying an immoral order is, like, fundamental ethics. (continuing to work for that person is probably collaboration, and the op-ed is, at best, vainglorious delusion)

He's in office because he was voted in and I don't think stopping him from leaving NAFTA deserves an honorable pat on the back. If we had a democrat in office we wouldn't want those officials secretly slowing down policies we voted to push. It goes against democracy.

the op ed rear end in a top hat also isnt actually doing anything good. he brags about how despite trump they managed to cut all sorts of regulations and pass the zillion dollar billionaire's tax cut and all of the rest of the worst things to come from the trump admin. its not a loving "resistance."

If we had a democrat in office we wouldn't want those officials secretly slowing down policies we voted to push. It goes against democracy. It's kind of a stretch to claim that a candidate winning an election with fewer votes than his opponent is above board, but officials refusing to slavishly follow the orders of their superiors is "against democracy." Like, I'm actually with Frum on this one (my world is truly broken now) but this is a scorching hot take, dude.

you see the problem with democracy is that the president doesn't have enough absolute power over the executive and not that he's an evil idiot who picked these people to be worthless self-centered criminals in the first place, and is too stupid to handle their middle school level deceit

Until then, I'm not going to applaud someone for keeping us in NAFTA while children were separated from their families for a month. Keeshhound posted:It's kind of a stretch to claim that a candidate winning an election with fewer votes than his opponent is above board, but officials refusing to slavishly follow the orders of their superiors is "against democracy." So because he didn't win the popular vote his administration should be sabotaged from within? The electoral college is dumb as gently caress but it's still the process. And yeah, if someone is secretly disrupting a publicly elected official because they don't agree with their policies, then yes I would agree that's against democracy. He was voted into office to push his ideas. If a senior official doesn't agree then they should offer counter-points to the president and let him decide, not sneak around and take things off his desk. You should never be too scared to walk into your boss's office. RisqueBarber fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Sep 6, 2018 |

Trump picked these people and if they undermine him, he's just a bad manager for not firing them. This isn't an attack on Democracy, this is just Trump being a lovely leader/manager/president. The buck still stops with Trump even if he wants to pretend he has no control over his employees.

No, fuckhead, I'm saying he wasn't democratically elected, which makes your insistence that people inhibiting his attempts to push his policies is somehow subverting the democratic process really loving dumb. Also, a staffer interfering with an actually democratically elected official's platform still wouldn't be acting "against democracy," it'd be them failing to perform their job function, which is also what's going on here. Are you always this hyperbolic?

Just to confirm, you're saying subverting democracy isn't possible because he wasn't elected democratically to begin with?

Are you always this hyperbolic? I'm not sure an OPed that starts with "I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations" is just a staffer not performing his job function. Sounds like a coordinated effort to me.
