Why? What have the russians done aside hillarys blatant lies that hes somehow haxxoring the election? Because they took back crimean peninsula once US sank its dirty hands in there and hosed that one up as well?

Tell me whose got the 150+ military bases around the world? who has caused irreparable damage in the middle east, including Russian ally Syria? US or Russia? Now who is threatening whom?

Related to my above quoted post: I honestly don't know how a pro-gun Democrat would do in the general. I'm pretty sure the well has been poisoned against Dems for gun owners, but I can't say for sure. They wouldn't get through the primary anyway. I'm inclined to think it's a weakness, not a strength, but I'm not that up on my gun politics.

it wouldn't help much - most democrats are ambivalent or pro-gun control, whereas a faction of the republicans are hypersensitive on guns

That is not the argument that I'm making. What I am saying is that if a weak candidate should lose to a strong candidate by a large margin and Donald Trump does not lose to HRC by a large margin, then either he is not a weak candidate or she is not a strong candidate. I believe he is a weak candidate therefore I am likely to believe that another Democrat would have been better. You would still be welcome to believe that they are both strong candidates or that they are both weak, but there is not another democrat who is stronger out there. You could not reasonably believe that he's a weak candidate and she is a strong candidate, if you accept that a weak candidate should lose to a strong one by a large margin (which is basically the only way those words are meaningful).

I hope that's clear. If it's not I can't help you.

Does anyone understand the rationale behind "race relations have gotten worse under Obama?" I saw bits of what looked like a focus group on cbs this morning, and that was one of the themes.

The implication seems to be that Obama is stoking racism and it's all his fault, but why would you think that? It's not as if systematic racism didn't exist before Obama… just because we're more aware of it (or at least it's in public consciousness due to protesting) doesn't mean it wasn't happening.

people who believe this have poor perception and understanding of the world, so poor that they do not realize there are large gaps in their understanding of reality. it's the same as infants not having object permanence, if a thing is not in plain sight then it does not exist. therefore, if no black people are protesting in the streets then racism does not exist. black people protested in the 60's with that king fellow, but then the government ended racism and the protests stopped. now the blacks are protesting again because obama is making racism happen again

I don't dispute your analysis of the situation, but a strong candidate who is hated by a huge chunk of the country becomes a weak candidate.

The other thing is that even with our weak form of federalism, Obama has such limited power here anyway. When I hear the demand that he fix that or fix black community problems before police shootings, I have a hard time wrapping my brain around that too. Do they expect him to parachute into every municipality and fix the police force himself?

again, poor understanding of how the world works, does not understand the role of the president and the delegation of powers etc.

I mean mcmagic's argument is basically predicated on buying a bunch of Republican assumptions, like we should just pick candidates that white dudes like because minorities will vote for us anyway, America is too "reasonable" to like Trump so clearly the fact that we're not landsliding means Hillary is bad, and if we would only nominate a white dude moderate Republicans would flock to us in droves.

Meanwhile the rest of us live in reality where Republicans are crazy shitbirds and won't be pleased even if you give them 100% of what they want.

yeah mcmagic is basically saying we should pick the candidate most palatable to centrist-right white men, for democracy's sake

i'm from georgia and georgia isn't going blue this election. it might be real close but georgia will be won on the strength of trump voters staying home, not high turnout for hillary - georgia is very black and thus would need more black turnout than obama got. and as election day gets closer people who claim to vote third party will vote for trump after all like the cowards they are

In a whiter state this would easily pass and you can bet it's the minority kids that would suffer. So really, this guy saying "colored people" isn't a surprise at all. He's pushing a racist amendment.

it's kind of a desperate appeal to metro black parents who are highly frustrated with the state of atlanta public schools and are really into charter schools as a reform method. the NAACP and other groups are against it because it kinda racist but there's broad popular appeal:

-The American Federation for Children National School Choice survey (Jan. 2016) showed 76 percent of African-Americans support school choice.

-BAEO poll (Aug. 2015) showed the majority of African-American voters surveyed support charter schools – Tennessee 67%, Louisiana 65%, New Jersey 65%, Alabama 54%.

-Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina poll of African-Americans (June 2016) found 56% favor public charter schools and 59% favor school choice.

So I'm still trying to understand why it looks like Ohio is suddenly trending red. We went for Obama +5 in 2008 and +3 in 2012, and Hillary has had an equivalent ground game and presence here. And John Kasich was one of the few holdouts that never endorsed Trump, for what that's worth. I guess my question is, how much should I drink on election night?

trump is an old man who still thinks it is the 70's and 80's, his glory days, so he has been hammering the outsourcing/factory closure as his only real economic position. this is a dumb and unrealistic argument but it works pretty well in rust belt states like ohio

sure, but a sociopath who learns to go with the flow of society and say racism is bad even if they don't really believe it is better than a staunch, unreformed, honest racist

he always was a rural white dude from the south who had regressive attitudes but at least by the end of his life he was able to say the correct things
