BetterToRuleInHell posted:A black man became president, yet somehow the deck was stacked against Hilldawg I don't particularly want to champion Hillary's extremely average campaign that relied heavily on the support beams of Look At The Other Guy, It's Donald J. Trump. However, I'd say that of the various ingredients that lead to the baking of the poo poo cake that is the current administration, missteps by the Clinton Campaign are pretty much just the spices. Comey and The Media are the flour and liquids, sexism is the eggs, Weiner is the the sugar, passing out is the yeast, and Voter Suppression/the ED is the shortening.

Main Paineframe posted:What about the ongoing decline of the Democratic Party? Since 2009, Congressional Dems have taken heavy losses in midterm elections and only slight gains in presidential election years. The Democratic waves of 2006 and 2008 - spurred largely Bush's unpopularity and Obama's charisma were the first time they'd controlled both houses of Congress since 1994. The context of the presidential election goes well beyond just Hillary Clinton - it's just another milestone in the slow decline of the Democratic Party under the stewardship of the centrist movement that moved into party leadership in the late 80s and early 90s. That has more to do with the down ballot results of 2016 than the top of the ticket. The party of the President tends to do poorly in midterms and Obama was a super scary black man, so the effect was multiplied as voters ran to the polls while totally not racistly screaming about the 14 words. This impacted the the path for new blood to rise in the party, but didn't really effect the 2016 Presidential part of the race outside the lingering desire to undo all the scary black things Obama did.

Jaxyon posted:All existing single payer systems cost noticeably less than the US currently spends per capita out of public funds alone. Not even half of our total spending per capita. Isn't a large part of our skyrocketing costs due to our beloved capitalist system which incentivizes doctors and hospitals setting astronomical and unpayable baseline prices for everything as a negotiating strategy for the cavalcade of private insurance companies? I'm pretty sure medicare and medicaid ignore those prices and set their own prices of what they'll pay for things.

Dead Reckoning posted:I'm amazed at the stones it takes to describe taxes that need to raise a trillion or so dollars as "modest." If we go to single payer companies no longer have to cover employee health insurance. The average worker worked 1,786 hours in 2015. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics employers spend about $10.11 per hour on benefit costs. In 20017 we have a little over 127 million people working full time in the US. If we then taxed companies at a rate comparable to about half of their current per hour benefits costs, which is probably still less than the medical portion of benefits, that should give the IRS an extra trillionish dollars a year. I think I calculated that correctly.

RuanGacho posted:It's possible now, I just don't know where I'm going to get the money to octuple the size of my storage array just for the dozen officers I support right now. It's not so simple as clouding it because it needs evidentiary custody and public records access. There are also questions of how to protect the identity of informants and witnesses, also most cops I've talked too are worried about having their shits and pisses recorded for posterity as well as their breaks and shooting the poo poo with each other or talking to their families. It is all in the realm of working on some technical details rather than pie in the sky how do we do this though. Hieronymous Alloy posted:That is literally the current scientific best practice Isn't it also significantly cheaper and better for the community as a whole? You know, aside from being the right and moral thing to do.

Goddamn blue states using their freedoms to gently caress the poor to instead help the poor. Well gently caress that, I vote no. Louisianans, you've got the power to fix this country. You've just got to get high enough to find scenarios where John Kennedy's votes to destroy America and basic human decency could theoretically be judo thrown into fixing America and nurture basic human decency. And then share those scenarios.

shrike82 posted:http://jacksonville.com/news/public-safety/2017-09-19/jacksonville-naval-hospital-removes-employees-patient-care-after Babies love dancing. Anyone who hasn't made their baby, their friend's baby, or their family's baby dance just doesn't get kids. Bunch of easily offended people getting riled up over this. Yes, posting pictures of you flipping off babies is not a good career move. No, it is not detrimental to the poor infant who probably can't even see the the middle finger. Also the babies pictured had most of their bodies redacted to protect their baby identities and I'm not hunting down unedited pictures of dumb poo poo. Baby looked down to dance to It's Your Birthday though.

I will never understand how you can have this giant hard on for the magical purity of the Aryan race, and then list your all time favorite Aryan leaders as Hitler, a Corsican, and a Greek.

botany posted:did you watch the videos? there is literally a scene where they are sitting in (i think) a hotel lobby, talking about how to approach "the jewish question, or, the jewish problem". the solution is, of course, ethnic cleansing. I just don't understand why so many people are desperate to live side by side with Nazis.
