You know you can poo poo on political apathy all you want but blaming leftists for the DNC being a bunch of incompetent idiots isn't actually addressing the party's problems nor is it going to get your poorly run party out of its electoral rut.

 Assuming that 26.4% applies equally to both parties, that's a whole lot of votes that dems are ignoring by not running candidates with policies and ideas they like and I really doubt its the milquetoast wing of the party that's been dissatisfied with their candidates.

Trabisnikof posted:^ Or it shows that at the peak of Dean's campaign strategy there was still a decent amount of votes to still be wrung out that could have given dems an even bigger victory then and allowed them to hold onto the majority for longer than the two working weeks they did. quote:Just because 26% didn't feel enthusiastic about a candidate doesn't meant there's anything the Ds could do about that. Except for nominating a good candidate. Granted that chart is for 2008 where the presidential election skews things but how is nominating candidates people are more enthusiastic for in lower races not something they could do. quote:My point is there is no 1 magic issue that would engage those voters, instead its a hundred contradictory issues. Well the DNC thinks that one magic issue is "at least we're not republicans" and it doesn't seem to be engaging those voters very well. Trabisnikof posted:Once again, you shouldn't be surprised that a majority party has moderate and conservative elements to it. No but hacking away at the remaining third isn't the way to maintain party unity or morale.

To be fair that's not something I've heard outside this forum so I personally wouldn't ascribe that particular thought process to the DNC but it plays into the not having a policy thing glyph mentioned.

So by that argument both parties should sit in the middle all the time in order to rack up the most votes and yet we see better results for the GOP when they don't do that and declining returns for the Democrats when they do. The name of the game is GOTV and having "we're not republicans" as your raison d'être doesn't get the voters fired up.

And how are you going to address those problems (well except for the illness one) in your favor without winning over the people that wanted to vote but had no strong reason to do so first. Dems, rightly so, want to make voting easier and have to be in political control to do so. The GOP gets their voters fired up, wins and then puts in voter ID laws to tilt voting in their favor. E: oh and unrelated but as a public service announcement to any California goons that may not be registered to vote. You can do so on the secretary of state's website here and we have awesome an awesome absentee ballot setup. http://registertovote.ca.gov Raskolnikov38 fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Oct 3, 2014 |

He sounds less like Bingo Bob when you throw in the detail that what prompted the apologies was for him saying their interventions in the Syrian civil war wasn't the best idea. Still he shouldn't have said it in public.

The guy says in the article that men and women's leagues play the game slightly different helped. He points out men using spin more and sprinting for returns that are usually ignored in women's matches. A couple of more matches rather than the one each may have allowed them to adapt better to the different style of play.

Because context is completely irrelevant right  Amergin posted:No, I'm showing you Reagan's policies you're vilifying, and their results which you're using as excuses to celebrate his death, are not far from Obama's, whose death I'm QUITE sure you will actually mourn. Whenever Obama does die I'm pretty sure I'm going to be pretty indifferent to it as I am when 99.99% of world leaders do unless he does something pretty fantastic between now and then.

We know how they'd feel about the ADA if brought before them now-- the international treaty that was modeled after the ADA came before the Senate last year, and Republicans filibustered it-- despite lobbying from Bush I and Bob Dole.
