it seems to have a lot of marginal value in a lot of instances: she takes money from other candidates that might announce first. theres no conversation between two mid tier candidates, instead they both get compared to hillary during announcement. lets her steal the show from all of the Rs announcing right now. but in reality its not going to do much o anything really. might a well do it now i guess.

mdemone posted:But that won't work either. Can you really envision even the barest outline of a feasible process that would establish a third major political party in an FPTP system? I sure as hell can't. as a third party you dont eliminate another party politically, you take over an existing party by making them adopt your agenda by showing it gets voted in. thats why you focus on the local level first.

I actively despise Hillary and even I think it's a completely ridiculous complaint, especially considering a lot of the other potential candidates are around the same age and some of them are even older. not only that she is statistically more likely to live longer than any other candidate

Dolash posted:I had a philosophy professor who'd always weigh in whenever anyone used the word liberal to remind us that the Liberal tradition coming out of the enlightenment encapsulates the entire continuum of American politics, meaning both sides are effectively "Liberals" because they still adhere to concepts like individual rights-based systems of governance, the social contract, private property, market-driven economics and so on. The actual ideological opponents to liberalism, like Socialism, Communism, Fascism and so on are only really present as influences. i had one that defended going into iraq in the year 2008 and that gwb was literally the best president in recent history

Dolash posted:I don't mean they'd actually go soft on her, just that they'd definitely complain about getting flack for being aggressive to a woman - it's usually a safe bet to assume Republicans will complain about imagined persecution. And certainly, if they have to excuse a debate performance where their guy gets pushed on his back foot they'll claim he was fighting with one arm tied behind his back. the actual frontrunner wont complain about this but fox news/any other dudes still enjoying face time certainly will

Skwirl posted:Why would Romney want to be Secretary of State? Did he get bit by the international relations bug back when he was involved with the Salt Lake City Olympics? he wants to run for president again. if he cleans up his weakest points (comes across as a zillionaire cyborg with lovely foreign policy ideas) by at least fixing the cyborg and foreign policy part with a good top of the resume position, he could swing a run again. like, he was a pretty meh candidate by all means, but if he had a good, fresh memory and loosened up a little, he could make a pretty solid run again imo

hillary, by all accounts, is pretty loving left, just she has to account for the political system which chains her pretty Actual Views. she might even be trolling the corporations with her doublespeak and go "lol gently caress that" when she gets in office. she is actually holds Pretty Good Views, but those come after her legacy and corporate interests that she feels are necessary for her to get elected. she wont give the finger to the banks, but that would be funny if all of her word twisting was her not trying to piss them off, and not people. again, not happening, but lol at the idea i guess

republicans have a lot of money and will use that money to win local elections and prevent democrats from doing things just like theyve been doing for a while until gerrymandering is addressed, the republicans can still pretty much deadlock and drag democrats down with them.
