Trump gets compared to Berlusconi a lot. Anyone with a good working knowledge of Berlusconi who can give a good summary of what that is going to mean for Trump's presidency?

Majorian posted:Absolutely. I know a lot of folks don't think Warren has the charisma chops to do it, but I think she's been upping her game substantially over the past few years. I'm looking forward to seeing what she becomes by then. Exactly, and even though she might not cut it in 2020, this is the time for rising stars in the Democratic Party to start, well, rising. The bench was depleted, and we are now living the nightmare. We need to keep an eye on the democrats who do the best job resisting and sticking to their values.

HorseRenoir posted:I doubt it. Not even counting the amount of differences between the American populace between 1980 and now, Reagan was able to do what he did because he was extremely popular and Trump is not that. He is one of the most unpopular presidential candidates ever and barely won against one of the other most unpopular presidential candidates ever with pitifully low turnout, and even then he couldn't win the popular vote. At least half the country hates him and this is his honeymoon period, his popularity will sink even lower when he inevitably fails to deliver on his impossibly vague and grand promises and the economy tanks. He can try to blame Obama for his failures, but Obama's approval numbers are sky-high and I don't see them falling any time soon. 2020 might be good timing for the glorious revolution. If progressivism can sweep then, we also get to win the next round of gerrymandering

QuarkJets posted:Wouldn't we have to sweep in 2018 for that? I think we need to worry more about defense in 2018 than anything else. 2014 was a republican wave in the senate so there will be a disproportionate number of republican seats available in 2020

HorseRenoir posted:It's also important to win state-level races even if Congress can't be reasonably flipped. I know that there's a competitive special election in Washington next year that will decide whether Dems have full control of the state legislature. Oh def. more than loving anything dems need to score victories locally, and in off-year elections. I don't know how we get people to vote more than once every four years but dammit I was guilty of that and this election is gonna get me off my rear end in 2018. We relied too much on being able to get the presidency relatively frequently.

The proliferation of fake news and the discrediting of journalism by sheer inertia has made a lot of 1984 begin to happen. It's loving frightening and I don't see any way out of it. I had a recent conflict with a friend wrt me trying to disprove some false news thing he heard and his response was basically "Well did you see it for yourself? How can you ever know what you've heard is true" and I just wanted to cry

If there's any solution to this mess, it's not creating our own fake news sphere. I think Truth is highly valued by our side of the political equation unfortunately.

Stereotype posted:Scott Walker's first few years in Wisconsin is a good example of what America will be like for Trumps term. Massive sustained protests and constant examples of horrible policy combined with literal actual law breaking that is either ignored or changed after the crime. And Scott Walker is still in power, right? Buckle up. We're in for 8+ years of Trump.

Talmonis posted:Why no you see, it's truly the fault of internet democrats who hurt racist dickbags feelings that made them vote for Trump. It all makes sense really. Holy poo poo can we stop with the "but no, you see" posts. Its the most frustrating thing in these threads and it happened twice on the same page just now and I need to speak up It's a strawman tactic even if you make a good point and makes me groan. Anyone else annoyed by this?

Talmonis posted:My apologies. I'm super salty today about Trump supporters and their bullshit. Apparently they're going around to Starbucks and putting his name on their orders to make the employees yell out "Trump," and throwing shitfits when they refuse. Nothing but a bunch of petty assholes. It is pretty funny how self-defeating a Starbucks protest is when they are paying for that coffee though.

Forgall posted:They really, really want to, if some posters here are any indication. I want to point out I made that statement from the position of someone very much on the Bernie wing of the democratic party that agrees that identity politics are not enough. The answer isn't abandoning these groups though. We need to do both, not be "republicans but not as bad and not racist/sexist" The call to abandon sickens me.

I voted for Hillary because Trump was/is Literally Hitler, but anyone too blind to see that also didn't see an economic message from Hillary and she lost a lot of votes. Coalitions are important.
