And people thought the Clinton Campaign was on Obama's level lol.

Very badly run campaign, that somehow managed to lose multiple safe blue states.

here's an idea: start building up the Democratic party and not just the candidate for president. obviously this is very much on a local level, but we gotta start setting up political machines that can turn out for a national election, but we start that by getting people involved in the actual party on the ground by running candidates for local races, having them support each other, and get people on message about what we stand for. I know plenty of people who will vote straight R every time regardless of anything, but rarely do I see that kinda devotion to our side

smug democrats were glad that Obama won two elections but didn't realize they lost very badly on the downticket level.

As a result Obama wasn't able to get as much done since the GOP controlled the house and more importantly most of the state governments.

Makes me laugh how despite bad dems like Concerned Citizen and Pinterest Mom harping about up her well run campaign, it was actually riddled with weaknesses.

Obama, great leader who ran good campaigns and hired the right people.

Hillary made her her own knockoff version of it and was exposed as a fraud that couldn't defeat Trump.

So fun to list all the faceplants
-GOTV was misguided basis premise,didn't focus on converting fence sitting voters
-Hillary put barely any resources into midwest states
-Lost a large share of people who voted for Obama in both elections
-Thought that ditching the working class to convert rich voters was a good idea
-Very bad messaging
-Used her influence to get DNC staff to undermine Bernie and ended looking like poo poo when it got exposed
-Didn't consider the possibility that she could lose, while Trump did massive amounts of campaigning in swing states with 4-5 rallies a day

Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are laser focused on the real problem in America: Hamilton tickets.


Okay this is 100 pages back because I'm a week behind or so but :psyduck:

How is broadway's outdated way of handling ticket sales something the US Government has to stop!??
There's technology now that the theatres can literally just sell it now with digital stubs that can't be xferred, or ones that have a digital form for said xfer.
Perhaps try on the consumer end to fix the problem instead of rely on washington? Hell, limit it to 2-3 tickets per payment method and the bots will have to basically be stealing people's identities (which is an actual crime in itself), and then also flag orders based on recipient addresses too. Introduce a way to invalidate tickets that are flagged, etc. etc.


Oh wait that'd ruin Broadway's precious profits to invest into an actual solution. Some "Legit" non-bot resellers were supporting that bill because it hurt their profits of scalping tickets via hand/craigslist, wonder where some of those people get their tickets :ironicat:

Not that this actually really stops bots, which the controllers are usually based in foreign countries they can't really do much about.

loving Hamilton lol.

It'd be hilarious if they defined tickets vague enough to somehow technically include stocks.

Probably won't happen, but still would be hilarious.


Although would it count if they sold at a loss?
