VitalSigns posted:But if he does win, we should vote against gay rights and women's health because Republicans are worse, right? The district’s Republican being a literal Illinois nazi is likely a factor in all this.

Main Paineframe posted:The district's Republican doesn't have a chance. This is a district that voted blue in every presidential election since a 1992 redistricting. Hillary won it by 15 points, and the district went for Bernie before that. This is a district where whoever wins the Democratic primary wins the election. Meanwhile, Lipinski has been a notably disloyal Dem who voted against the ACA, voted against LGBT protections, voted against the Dream Act, openly opposed abortion, and repeatedly voted against Pelosi's minority leadership. There's no reason for the party to be backing him other than machine politics - the same machine politics that got him the seat in the first place, since his influential daddy exploited his position in regional politics to hand his seat down to his son without a primary. I completely agree with this, which is why I imagine the primary and general are quietly going to frame the election as a matter of maintaining some fragile hold that doesn't exist with some dumb slogan like "Better Safe Than Sorry" so the establishment doesn't actually have to explain or justify the choices it makes.

It slays how me how the newest addition to the gaggle of pricks in the democratic portion of the senate decided to hop onto the financial deregulation train just to steer the whole thing off a cliff. Just slap enough platitudes into your platform so nobody notices when you decide to ruin their lives at a later date for ~reasons~

Flowers For Algeria posted:Since Macron was invoked earlier in the discussion I’d like to inform the people who would have leftists vote for him or his ilk against a fascist like Le Pen and her Front National that his latest immigration bill was so fascist that the Front National supported it and voted for it in parliament. Any admission of overlap between the political ideals represented by Macron and Le Pen is effectively a psychological impossibility for the snide trash who think they can end the problem with some stupid little quip along the lines of "yes because Le Pen would have been so much better."
