Jim Webb was further right than Hillary but a vote for him would have at least constituted a more principled stand than "I dunno, everyone else in the Dem party is a lot like her I guess"

plus he would have won

Jim Webb would've won so hard.

This is a real good listen if you want to be real mad at Diane Feinstein, btw

She supported the prosecution of the guy who tore down her confederate flag

This is like the Democrats singing when Republicans voted to kill Obamacare. I don't get it! It would be one thing if the people who would rather have nuclear war than Trump get good press were like, frothing at the mouth anti-Republicans, but they aren't They're the same decorum-crats who love compromise and bi-partisanship. They really want to win, but only if they can win through Republicans scoring own goals. Why do you even care about winning if you don't try to win and if you don't do anything when you win?

the point of sanctions typically isn't to hurt the elite, it's to oppress the population enough that they grow discontent at the lovely economy, blame their current government, and agitate against it

it's basically collective punishment

It has also literally never worked

Trump said during the campaign that he was interested in removing troops from South Korea. That's huge, that's one of North Korea's biggest demands

i am all for this, along with removing troops from everywhere else

My one concern is how that would work out for Europe. A lot of European countries have small armies because of NATO, theoretically at least if France is attacked they'll have the entire US army on their side.

If the US withdrew our troops from Europe couldn't that trigger a military build-up across the continent?

I'm not sure why you guys just assuming that the EU and NATO will last forever and therefore any potential war in Europe could only be "everyone vs Russia"

Hillary was the most unelectable candidate of all time let’s not kid ourselves here

I remember during the primaries bringing up the fact that 40% of the country loving hated her and had hated her for twenty years, and being told that that didn't matter, they only hated her because of right wing smears, she's actually really good.

How many people on the Hillary campaign do you think by election day had already written the first chapter of a book called something like "Competence Into Excellence: My Time in the Clinton White House"

Do you guys think that Democrats will realize that Republicans will paint all of them as far left socialists like AOC regardless of their individual stated positions so they lose nothing by actually embracing and running on those popular leftist policies?

I think Bernie is right to call for civility, on a purely strategic level. There's a lot of political violence going on, and if Bernie says "gently caress em' up!" and somebody kills a Republican congressman, 2020 will have blanket ads showing bernie saying gently caress 'em up, smash cut to a crying widow

can someone name me a compelling tale with no genuine conflict

Catcher in the Rye didn't have genuine conflict but even its most die-hard proponents would probably classify it more as a character study than an archetypal "tale" and also it's not compelling
