Yeah, but then you take a look at his running mate and the platform of the party he's running on, and even a lukewarm democrat is going to be marginally better at worst than the GOP on that front.

really queer Christmas posted:At the same time, the democrats and republicans have not been around since the constitution. Both were once upstart parties born because of elites, corruption, and stagnation in one of the two governing parties. Even if all you get is a regional party at first, they can coalition with dems to get what they want. I mean the republicans went from being a no nothing extremist party to having their man in the White House in under a decade. While they did have slavery as a major issue that rallied northerners, a new deal economic policy may be a big enough spark to get you similar results. This is true, but it's pretty much always been two dominant parties; the rise of the Republican Party coincided with the implosion of the Whig party and the remnants got folded in accordingly. The issue is a systemic one.

The biggest example that comes to mind is the Republican/Whig moment, but that required the Whigs to collapse first so that the Republicans could fill the void. When did we successfully break away from the two dominant party structure?

Soup du Journey posted:well yeah and tyranny is fine if you have an unbroken line of philosopher kings, but it never works out that way. installing a bunch of bureaucrats who exist explicitly to subvert the democratic process is just asking to get sizzled. founders of the democratic party, i say unto you (by way of the wendy's drive-thru): ditch the superdelegates and risk the occasional whoopsie as a cost of doing business!!! Thing is, the superdelegates AFAIK have never actually stepped in to overrule the popular vote anyway even when it would have helped get a non-garbage candidate so frankly I'm not even sure what the point of it is anymore.

Chomp8645 posted:Remember in Star Wars: The Old Republic the game launched with only straight romances. But then they decided to add gay romances in an expansion, but to do so they pull all of the new gay characters on the new planet, Makeb. So you got a game with a galaxy full of straight folk except for Makeb, the very gay planet. There's something really funny about the idea that in the Star Wars universe, interspecies acceptance happened thousands of years ago and yet gay people are still segregated onto their own little planet

Of course they all have access to top-level healthcare as federal lawmakers, but people fall apart. Honestly I hope trump and hillary fall apart between now and then. Not that being 99% gone stopped Ronald Reagan from winning 1984 but I can hope. Wait, do you not know that Huma is going to be her next host?

berth ell pup posted:i really liked those posts in d&d c. 2015 that were like "it's going to be bush vs clinton again next year!!!!!! you'll see!!!!" I think those predictions made sense early on. Obviously the Bush brand was toxic, but the GOP field was just pretty weak overall. Nobody was really expecting Trump to do any better than in the 2012 race and then Jeb actually showed up basically begging to be put to sleep in every appearance and well
