The GOP base likes Bernie to some extent since hes anti-establishment and he was sticking it to Hillary. I'm sure that they will lockstep turn against him if he is nominated in 2020 though.

Your argument, that any Senator appearing to go against the party (i.e. McConnell) is merely engaging in theatrical concern, means that Republican legislation is inevitable. This directly contradicts with what we've seen over the past three weeks, UNLESS the Republicans are indeed masters of political kabuki, and are simply pretending to be on the ropes like some sadistic anime villain who wants to give someone false hope before they kill them. You're being an idiot.

There is no way the AHCA is not going to pass eventually. McConnell will shovel millions of dollars of bribes on the outstanding GOP votes if need be.

you seriously underestimate how much the american public could not be assed

Consider the 60's though -- there were widespread protests and civil unrest back then with Vietnam, and that was in an era where people still respected the legitimacy of the president

Imagine today getting a draft script to die pointlessly in North Korea or Iran in a war which would probably and obviously be horrendously mismanaged on the behalf of a government and president who very obviously does not have your interests at heart (doubly so if you are a minority). How do you think people would respond?

People don't care right now because its all in the abstract and its sometimes hard to see how national politics affects you directly. If you make that obvious and apparent that your life or your friends lives will be at stake then things will start mattering really loving quick.

Luckily draftwise the establishment knows that which is why we haven't had a draft since Vietnam.

err, you mean it mattered

it doesn't matter any more because its already over

there will be protests and some activism in 2018 and 2020 but the inexorable grind has begun in the judiciary that will ratify all of the wingnuts who have populated the legislative since 2010 or so

the executive doesn't matter, not that anything matters, but voter suppression in federal elections was just super effective in Wisconsin and Michigan and is soon coming to every state in america

those who thought the culture war was already over and lost better buckle up because it's going to be a rough rest of your life

Or I don't know, we can reform the Democratic party and hit them back hard?

And if your response on this is "lol that will never happen nothing matters" you can and should probably stop posting or following politics anymore and move on with your life

I don't get what winning in 2018 or 2020 can do to reverse the countless lifetime appointed donny judges.

You can appoint new judges when they die or retire

You can also impeach and remove bad judges as well if the political will gets strong enough

Hell, you can even add more justices to SCOTUS, or remove them

It will be difficult to work around but not impossible. Conceding defeat is the very last thing you want to do in this case.

I don't think theres a prayer until 2020. All that can be done between now and then is to staunch the bleeding and develop a policy portfolio that can whip the left into a frothy rage IE socialized medicine, mass infrastructure spending and legal weed


would you settle with fascism instead

Take house in 2018, pass leftist dream legislation and slam Trump and McConnell on all the good stuff you could be doing for the country if not for them, run on economic populism, take the rest of government in 2020.

how is it even possible to win the house with the gerrymandering at play? Dems won 52% of the vote in 2012 and were 30ish seats from the majority.

A lot of the seats are gerrymandered GOP, but at just a slight advantage (I think average 5 points). A big enough wave could knock over a crap ton of seats if you have the right message and campaign. Of course the Democrats suck at both of those but with all the work that the Berniecrat wing is putting in (along with the economic populist message slowly but surely growing in the bad dems) its possible.

Honestly the poll doesn't say anything new -- 36% of people approve of the Donald and they will until the end of time (or until the healthcare bill hits them hard and they start dying off). 2/3's of everyone think that the democrats stand for nothing (and for good reason).
