BiohazrD posted:I don't know, I kind of wish it would have gone the other way and made the Republican party even more toxic. They're not going to actually work on legislation either way. The thesis of the article is that "Mitch McConnel and the GOP establishment's strategy of spending a ton of money to win dirty primary challenges is working." Will ugly races and depleted reserves make it easier for Democratic challenges to statewide races? Maybe, for some. I think control of the senate is going to pass between the two parties much more frequently than control of the house

Hell, I'm not sure the fate of cable television in the main what with Netflix eating the world. Neither of these things is true. Audiences are old but not dying, certain FNC programs excepting. Netflix is having a hell of a time expanding globally.

PhazonLink posted:How exactly did Clinton "trick" them. This seems like a GOPe vet trying to damage control/lose more softly due to the Trumpster Fire. His entire campaign is an oppo research bomb. His entire life has been televised, written about, and tweeted. Her October surprise could just be a 30 minute loop of him mocking that disabled reporter

Greataval posted:The press has so much power yet are scared to use it they could just put a trump blackout till he releases his taxes. Yet thet will cry about acces like gently caress them grow some balls. They are enabling fascist allowing it to fester and grow. "The press" isn't a cartel. If CNN or NYT decided to not cover trump anymore their competitors would seize on the opportunity to steal audience share and sell copies & get clicks. You're getting the press you deserve. If you don't want to read banal articles about trump don't click on them and don't buy magazines with his face on the cover.

Radish posted:Any journalist that says Trump living up the the standards of a child because he can stand somewhere and not make too much on an rear end of himself and thus is "presidential" needs to be swapped with some person currently in Guantanamo. I know this is all about selling clicks and whatever but the standard for what a president does has been so reduced this election it's absurd. Have some loving pride in your potential leader you shitbirds. Be the change you want to see in the world: support independent media, cancel your cable subscription, and stop clicking on garbage

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Lots of "health nuts" I know (including my Aunt who is an insane crunchy type person who gargles Olive Oil for 20 minutes at a "doctor's office" twice a month and only buys non-gmo, organic, local food) don't really think of health in a nutritional sense. If it is "natural", has lots of vitamins, is non-gmo, and organic / gluten-free it is healthy. Diet Snapple with splenda is "less healthy" than 100% juice with 460 calories and 60 grams of sugar. Actual juice > diet Snapple. It's just people don't realize that when you chug a bottle of juice that's like eating a dozen oranges at once in the wild. It's far too much at once is the problem

mcmagic posted:Biden, Warren, Brown, Gore, Kerry, Klobachar, Gillibrand... Pretty much any other democratic candidate would've had better personal favorability numbers. There was just no room for anyone to run because virtually the entire party got behind her right away. Biden: he is old and his son died. Also not everyone reads the onion. Warren: I don't see how she could perform any more favorably or differently than Bernie Brown: lol he is not Obama he is not going to come from "who?" to president this year Gore: he is a loser he had his chance Kerry: same Kobold: who? Gilibrand: see Warren

Hmm, so it seems like most Americans* think that the president can direct any executive agency to do his bidding without dissent or question, and without any oversight of any kind. Obama can direct the Bush-appointed chief of the FBI to drop charges against Hillary, and all do the agents on the case will just go along with it without saying anything to anyone about it. The IRS can waste what precious little funding it has to have a protracted legal battle with Trump on made-up charges. And everyone employed by the agency working on it is just fine with it. Is this really how they think the world works? Is it how they want the world to work? Why bother electing congress if this is how it is *Idiots
