SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:The biggest challenge is going to be convincing people voting for dumb poo poo like commissioner every year is actually super important and effects more than home owners. I don't really have an idea where to start on that one Start from scratch I guess. Say here is what the commisoner does and here is how it affects the issues you care about. Problem is getting that out there to people en masse and what to do about the "My vote doesn't matter lol so jaded" morons.

Karl Sharks posted:you must know different americans than i do, because they are super loving concerned about their taxes and think anything the government proposes is going to raise them No joke do what trump did with the wall, demonize the ultra rich as useless parasites who are responsible for outsourcing all the jobs, say you'll make them pay for it without ever bringing up the dreaded 3 letter word. Unlike trump, actually follow through on it.

Karl Sharks posted:what was your point that i missed and haven't already agreed to in this thread? I was mostly saying that saying you'll raise taxes can backfire quickly enough that dodging it by implication is easier and more effective for riling up a crowd, not that saying the word TAX will immediately make people poo poo themselves regardless of context.

imo the reason trump won was less due to his own virtues and instead because of mass incompetance by the Hillary campaign, and that people are better off looking at what the she did wrong (everything) and critically examining trumps campaign for what he did right rather than assume trump is the wave of the future

A lot of red states are only red because the democrats don't do poo poo in them, either due to incompetence and/or lack of funding from the national level Which causes them to get swept during the election. Which causes people to write them off as red states, and then not put any effort or funds into state and local parties Which causes them to get swept during the next election and it goes on and on and on Agean90 has issued a correction as of 20:04 on Nov 28, 2016 |

Thoguh posted:Why do you feel the fact that she was a member of the cabinet when they took out Bin Laden is a reason to vote for her? Is there some news I'm unaware of that she personally exerted some type of influence or had some bright idea that led to his death? Yes because we all know how much americans hate it when people are droned. Trump hammered that he was a stronger leader and fear of Isis was a driving factor for many trump voters. Saying "bitch I killed Bin Laden, you ain't done poo poo" how much of a role she had is irrelevant, what is is that she claim a part in getting something done that the majority of Americans (especially in trumps camp) would regard as a good thing. Ultimately though, she had enough things wrong with her campaign (lets use reverse psychology in Wisconsin lol) that a change in how she presented herself likely wouldn't have changed the outcome dramatically without change elsewhere so I'm pretty much just bullshittin v  v

Serf posted:It has more to do with the fact that unhealthy food is cheaper, and the working poor have little time for exercise when they are holding down several jobs at once. Also costly, gym memberships are a reoccurring fee many people can't handle, equipment requires a lump sum that can't exist, and trying to jog poor rural areas occasional ends in getting chased by wild dogs (personal experience on the last one)

Venuz Patrol posted:dnc chair is a position with actual responsibilities and authority. if he gets the nod, he'll be doing more than just mollifying the left It's more like the dnc leadership is trying to mollify the left, represented by Ellison. I think Ellison will actually attempt to get poo poo done, and that the dudes putting him in charge are trying to save their asses in the process.
