Lord of Pie posted:actually i don't think she paid as much attention to focus groups this time around There was some article chapo did about how these centrist focus groups comb through hundreds of people until they find the 5 people in an area that support their worldview and use them in their focus group

Scrub-Niggurath posted:Gillibrand has voted the most against trump out of any senator, including Warren and Sanders. If people really think she’s still just going through the motions or whatever because she’s secretly an upstate republican then every stereotype about left wing circular firing squads is true i dont give a gently caress what she thinks as long as she is voting correctly

Shear Modulus posted:the people who make electoral political decisions at the old big unions are often professional administrators with no connection or accountability to the rank and file who will decide to back lovely-but-favored-to-win incumbents for fear of losing access. usually this manifests as backing a hillary over a bernie or this example of the illinois race from a couple days ago but i guess also apparently a republican (wtf?) i don't know the local politics or Donovan this but if the choices for the union are between "republican they can buy and keep on a short leash" and "heritage-funded chud", they're gonna pick the former every time edit: i was a little upset until i read it was staten "we're all cops" island

Kinda owns how whenever dems get a massive war chest, they seem to immediately squander it on overpolished musicals and stupid bullshit that doesn't speak to anyone's actual wants or needs

AFancyQuestionMark posted:Except, this isn't the 19th century anymore, political movements and ideas can garner support across state lines, just like gay marriage and marijuana legalization or whatever. Don't most states offer several constitutional amendments on the ballot for each election? I don't see why altering the state's electoral system can't be one of them. Initiatives work but at least in Ohio (which has one of the more robust initiative systems iirc), the legislature decides both the language on the ballot and makes sure the amendment is constitutional. Lol if you think they'll let something that destroys the two party system pass Parlimentary systems are insanely good, but if we're in a position where making one is possible, we've already won
