HorseRenoir posted:I think the GOP can regain voters again by dropping the racial angle and focusing on suckering people in with libertarian bullshit, but it would be a drastic, painful realignment that would temporarily result in Dem dominance. It would also shatter the coalition between religion-motivated voters and economics-motivated voters. The GOP would be straight-up annihilated at the national level if white evangelicals stayed home on Election Day. Giving up the culture war is not a winning strategy, as it's provided the incentive for a ton of single-issue voters over the last decade or more.

Queering Wheel posted:At least Trump losing will give us some hope that global warming won't become guaranteed apocalypse-level bad, considering the stupid fucker doesn't believe in it, and wants us to start mining and burning shitloads of coal again. Unhappily for this outlook, there are lots of other countries in the world that are still reliant on fossil fuels for energy production. Even if the US takes the lead and makes a massive shift towards baseline nuclear and green support, it's still a lot to ask of developing nations that they give up easy, cheap energy that they may already have within their borders.

It would be interesting to see someone try to push for US-built, locally-maintained nuclear plants around the world. Replace the government subsidized military industrial complex with a government subsidized energy industrial complex. I'm pretty sure nuclear is cheaper per kWh than fossils, but I would love to hear someone more knowledgeable than me explain why this is a terrible idea.

Speaking of irresponsible, the only mention of Farage's current ties to the Trump campaign is a single article on the Guardian that is a flat denial of involvement? At least wait until he's made the flight across the Atlantic before coming to that conclusion, or for another source to pick up the story.

For the record,Grundulum on Facebook posted:Extremely cynical Bernie-to-Stein friend posted:unfortunately he underestimated the american media's attention to governmental indiscretions in favor of trump articles and kardashian news This is the guy who complains constantly (as above) about how horrible a person Hillary Clinton is, but believes Assange can do no wrong as he tries to take her down. There's something ironic about that, I'm pretty sure.

lozzle posted:Yeah I don't get the "these women who knowingly slept with a married man are victims of his evil bitch of a wife You're ignoring the power imbalance when the governor/president invites you into an affair. These women may not have felt like they had a choice in the matter, which then makes a campaign to undermine their accusations especially scummy. Going after Hillary for this is totally a target of opportunity rather than any sort of actual moral outrage. Like how somehow Benghazi shifted to being Hillary's fault after Obama won the 2012 election.

That Wikileaks tweet is already being rebroadcast on Facebook by the usual suspects. Sorely tempted to respond with #ImWithHer, but don't really feel like getting into an argument today.

Posting from page 1001 to say I want in on the Hombres/Womyn gang tag if that's still on the table. See you in 60-70 pages!
