Also, I just wanted to say that Ben Jacobs is a big piece of poo poo who is certainly playing up the role of victim.

Wait I just had a brainstorm. It's a retarded drunken idea but bear with me.

What if the democrats all just jumped ship and joined the republican party, and then voted for the least lovely republican in all the primaries? We'd be a one party system but we are heading to that anyway because half the country would vote for Satan if there was an R by his name. Why are we not funding this?

And why don't they make the whole plane out of the black box, huh????

It isn't, and it's alarming that you think a bill should only be fully explained, no matter what the circumstances surrounding it, after advancing it.

That is what the Senate republicans are doing right now.

Kilroy posted:

What if - bear with me here - what if we approached elections as a thing we tried to win rather than something to be run in such a way that our primary motivator for turning out the vote is shame? What if we regarded winning as fundamentally more important than plausible deniability when we lose?

Instead of blaming people who stayed home for not caring enough about others (although there is blame to go around there, it hardly seems productive to make it the focus), we blame politicians for not inspiring the turnout? Especially when, once elected, they typically do the bare minimum to protect minorities anyway? Obama certainly did more for extrajudicial killings than Trump ever will, but he could have been President for 50 years and he'd have never solved the problem, the way his Justice Department was going.

We should all demand better, and if we don't get it then we should make sure there is a price to pay. Part of that price is kicking out the fuckers who don't deliver.

I mean there is a time and a place for changing people's minds and showing leadership in that sphere, and in fact a political campaign is a great time to do that. Too bad most Dems don't do that either and Hillary was certainly no exception to that.

No one wants to argue this with you

Starshark posted:

The problem isn't that idiots voted for Trump, the problem is not enough people turned up for Hillary. If you're going to vote for Trump (and the biggest predictor of a Trump voter was racism and sexism), there's no amount of moving to the right that's going to change your mind if your a woman. Hillary needed to get out the vote, and she didn't.

The problem is that you're blaming Hillary (who was not a great candidate by any means, true) for not replicating Obama's success among black people, which was loving impossible in the first place. The article you posted just reinforced how much you missed the point.

Here's a question that's probably been asked a million times but that I haven't seen in my occasional perusals of this thread: Assuming Dems retake the Senate, how do they go about preventing another Trump from ever using the presidency to blatantly enrich themselves? Like, how do they enforce it, because the Emoluments Clause certainly ain't getting adhered to.

e: assuming they even want to, that is
