At midnight tonight, Terry Branstad becomes the longest serving Governor in American history.

He's moving past George Clinton, who only holds the record if you include the time he was Governor of New York under the Articles of Confederation.

Nope. I think one of the major problems with the democrats is that it is made up of lots of groups of people that tend to focus on a single issue. I wonder sometimes if a group achieves its goal, they would break away from the democrat coalition.

I also feel that sometimes social issues are used as smoke and mirrors to distract people from bigger problems. Republicans do this with xenophobia, fear of change, and bigotry.

If the republicans were not morons, they would have peeled off one of the democrat coalition groups. Hispanics and immigration should have been the easiest to pry away.

I'm sure now I will be told I'm a moron and wrong. Please when you do so give me a reference as to why so I can read up on that and adjust my views if I agree with it.

I read somewhere that Muslim Americans were pretty consistently a republican demographic before 9/11 and the huge upswing of islamophobia. And I've noticed a lot of big name Asian Americans getting pissed at GOP bringing up the Japanese internment camps as a good idea to try again for Muslims. It really starts to seem that the GOP is systematically alienation any group that isn't white guys

Why on earth did Kentuckians elect Bevin to office? He just seems to be a cavalcade of terrible for basically everyone including the Republican base.

The best* part is all the people who voted for him hoping he doesn't do exactly what he campaigned to do re: medicaid expansion

I think he's trying to leech the supporters that understand the 'benevolent job creators' are screwing them out of pay and not the ones that blame any failing on the darkies/Muslims/poor.

Yeah, there are a decent amount of people on the right that "getting money out of politics" sounds good to. They just happen to think the biggest offenders are "liberal elites" like George Soros.

But the comparison between Trump and Sanders still doesn't make sense even then. Whereas Trump is arguing that you can still make it through American Willpower we just need to make Germany for Germans America Great Again, Sanders is arguing the American Dream of everyone making it to be middle class has been made impossible due to the top 1% kicking out the ladder from under everyone so people can't make it even if they tried really hard and wanted it really badly.

Whether the economic 'ladder' still exists or not is still a major point of difference in the rhetoric between Sanders and Trump. Trump being the picture of economic populism is almost as ridiculous a notion as it was for Romney in 2012.

You're looking at the two candidates in a far more critical way then the vast majority of voters though.

I'm sure there's plenty of these vandals who are genuinely stormfronters or what-have-youe. Trying to extrapolate that to how most people who haven't seen or lived through endemic lovely situations firsthand with the cops must react "black lives matter" is a vain enterprise. Most of it is really a misunderstanding of what BLM means or incredulity that it can't possibly be that bad, no way, not in America, this is America, land of the free, man. If it was this bad I would've been hearing about it everyday first thing on the news and cops would be condemning the ones who crossed the line, y'know dawg?

I know SOOO many people who this is literally the case. They have bought into the illusion of a just world that they literally can't comprehend that it is not the case for a lot of people. Privilege, its a hell of a drug.

I remember in high school, some dumbass friends and I went to film a school project in a public park and brought toy guns and - being the dumbasses we were - real swords from one kid's dad's collection.

We did have the cops called on us, and instead of shooting us all on sight, they had one officer with a taser on us while the other sat us down and searched us one by one. After they established that we didn't have any weapons other than the swords, they escorted us out of the park, joking with us about the contents of our movie.

Wanna guess what the difference was between us and kids like Tamir and Mike Brown?

That Tamir looked like an adult??
