Kilroy posted:Nah. 40% is Reagan-Mondale stuff. It's a blowout. They'll be thinking of that map filled with blue states for the rest of their lives, before they head to a poll on Election Day. Or rather before they think about heading to a poll and then find a better use for their time (cf cousins, above). And the fact that they will lose to Hillary loving Clinton will magnify that 100-fold. It's not enough to defeat the Republicans, we need to demoralize their base such that the party has to find a new one, and heal itself. It's no good to have one party in the US even remotely capable of governing. I think there are a bunch of naive assumptions in this post about the current state of the Republican Party and the current times we live in. It won't be like the Democratic Party reshuffling itself until it becomes more moderate and appealing to a general population (like under Clinton). There's little or no interest in the political center anymore, which explains a lot of what is going on right now on both sides of the electorate. Trump supporters don't want to just win, they want to exert their ideology on the other 60% of the population until they feel it.

I don't think posters realize how volatile this country is at the moment. Just look at what a single, open attack by ISIS could do to our population.

Don't expect D&D to know much about leftism. They're too self absorbed in their liberal Fukuyamaist "western civilization has reached its end point and there no other political alternative other than milquetoast reform".
