I toxxed for Obama because I believe in him; I'll for Hillary because I believe she can gently caress people up. Seriously, that women has been attacked by these punks for longer than I've been alive and I can't wait to see what she does when the shoe is on the other foot.

I am glad that Bernie endorsed Hillary and that the Democrats will come together. As much as incremental progress is basically a constant feeling of low-grade disappointment that rarely hits at the big, structural needs at least it's something, and the progressive sentiments stirred up by Bernie have a better chance of affecting change within the Democratic party than they do out of it (and especially if the Republicans win).

The disaster of Trumpism and the fractious chaos of the Republican party is probably a better example of what happens when zealous ideologues pull a party apart, and hopefully their coming defeat will be a general setback for their cause actually achieving their goals even if the hardcore just get even more riled up and thrash around even harder.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the USPol and on the chat threads to be seen by goons. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward. But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Abuela, who is unseen. And your Abuela, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Obama will withdraw the nomination and nominate someone else if it comes to that. He's not going to give the Republicans a handout after everything that's happened.

I know it's a ways off, but things will probably take us safely back in territory once we get to the first debate.

Of course Trump could always pull his campaign out of its tailspin by adopting more responsible strategy and refraining froHahahahahahhaha sorry, sorry. I couldn't- just give me a minute to catch my breath here, whew.

Hillary Clinton is a very left wing person by American standards who took from her struggles in Arkansas and Washington that the best way to get things done was through incrementalism. Remember that Hillary and Bill came into office and tried to get gays the ability to openly serve in the military and pass universal health care. The resulting backlash got them as far as Don't Ask Don't Tell and stuck them with DOMA, while comprehensive health care reform was shelved for another 16 years. It's also what lead to the Clintons going along with Welfare Reform. Meanwhile she found that she could get bits and pieces of her original health care plan through congress in a piecemeal fashion. She found that this method of getting drips and drabs of her true agenda passed worked much better than pushing it all at once. Meanwhile she stayed on the left edge of the party as the party itself moves leftward.

You can absolutely disagree with the Clintons' actions and strategy, but there is very, very little to suggest they aren't themselves actually personally on the deep blue end of the national spectrum. So Hillary is going to get her agenda pushed as far as she thinks she can, even if it means working with a Republican here or there. Because she realizes that they're not a monolithic block of assholes and individually tend to have at least one issue where they've evolved past the political acumen of the Middle Ages. Those who can not be made useful idiots shall get the fire. Fire and Blood.

if you've been following Billy West on Twitter you know that Trump is actually Brannigan.

Also, to adapt a line about libertarians calling you "statist", if a Trump supporter calls you a "globalist" you should take it as if a pedophile called you "adult-fucker" as an insult.

I'm absolutely confident of a complete Dem landslide - the senate at the least - because Trump has made enemies of some very powerful, though not particularly vocal, forces in American politics - the wealthy, who fear an unpredictable anti-free-trade populist, the foreign policy community who have been the first to abandon him and every single minority group. Some in the FPC suspect him of being an unwitting Russian agent. The mainstream media are slowly but surely turning against him and the narrative is becoming more openly contemptuous and dismissive. He signed his own death certificate when he employed a racist anti-semite as his third and probably final campaign director. Women loathe him. He is held ransom by his fringe base, as any attempt to reach out beyond his extreme positions risks alienating them but he can't win without doing so.

And because Trump thrives on publicity he will constantly be in the news so that Republicans won't be able to pretend he doesn't exist and hope for a split ballot. The minitrumps have already been falling like flies, the endorsers will be next and even those who didn't speak out will suffer the consequences.

Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I'm not going to go to great lengths to defend this, I just wanted to put down my predictions somewhere.
