Oh look what we missed in the hubbub is US politics, British politics.

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/31/sex-scandal-is-threatening-to-engulf-the-uk-parliament.html

Dozens of names of parliament and ministers etc involved in sexual scandals leaked, some of it is mundane stuff like inter office flings, some mistresses, and some harrasment and assault. Apparently started as a party document of dirt and leverage.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4780221/westminster-sex-allegations-whatsapp-group-mark-garnier-stephen-crabb-michael-fallon/

There are various lists going around, some wholey unredacted with victims named along with officials.

Realistically the corridor from Saudi Arabia through the edges of Jordan, Iraq, and Syria are already shitholes so either of those three protesting Saudi armies and Air Force tracing through their "sovereign" territories is the best you're going to get. Jordan could oppose then. Iraq could oppose them, but they're not going to work together to do so. Neither wants a war with Saudi Arabia.

So if this goes down. (And lol, it's 2017, of course it will) The Saudi Air Force will be overflying Jordan, and any land forces will travel through the west tip of Iraq and cross through the wastes that remain of Syria. And neither the Iraqi or Jordanian governments will do more than yell at the international community.

In summary this is a bad idea for every single nation in the region and there's no way its not devolving into a bunch of genocides and land grabs.

Having liberals bregrudingly rally behind a centrist democrat for three decades has continually reduced progressive voter turnout. The "undecided likely voter" is a weird polling black hole because a hell of a lot of young liberals don't get counted as likely voters because they don't show support for either major party. So you get lower voter turnout for the democrats while the polling Democratic Party affiliate use show slight gains into the undecideds. If nothing else trump has shown that there are millions of people willing to vote for the first time in a long time for anything other than the status quo. Bernie had a glimmer of the same thing among liberals, drawing a new and young voting base.

Centrism really has been a cancer on the Democratic Party. Conservatives have become democrats because things will remain as they are, maybe with a token slow slide toward liberalism. Meanwhile the originally conservative GOP has been pulling voters from the previously low turnout evangelical and alt-right who go all in on anti-abortion and loving over poor people, and many conservatives associated with the GOP for years ride along to the far right. Even though the GOP is no longer a conservative platform so much as it is a regressive one. Yet for years team players like McCain and Graham stayed the course because despite the policy changes it kept the votes coming. Drawing deeper and deeper from the well of toxic racists resulted in the most viable candidates being the Roy Moores and the Gillespies

If the Democrats attempt to run lowest common denominator old white men in 2018 and 2020, they seriously risk loss of even more of the motivated liberal base that exists right now. For the same reason middle road conservatives have been pulled right by momentum, the core democratic base will be dragged liberal by progressive politics because it's pretty obvious they won't become republican voters. Meanwhile you'll pick up huge chunks of voting youths and minorities by actually favoring progressiveness. That's what just happened in the Virginia statehouse.
