Maybe not the next democrat president, but certainly shortly after we're gonna elect someone running on a platform of "kill whitey" and speaking as a white person we probably deserve it.

Finicums Wake posted:i press play on the video. i hear bernie say "you, the young people of this country, are leading the nation and the congr—" before i start to scream fangirlishly alongside the video There has never been a democrat in my life that could evoke this kind of excitement except for possibly 2008 Obama. Better stick with the centrists though, that's how you win elections folks. Sensible policies, realistic expectations.

Grondoth posted:I know it's common in the succ zone to downplay this russia stuff cause it's a good excuse for the dems to do ffffffffuckin' nothing, but there was a russian spy doing poo poo with the NRA and 12 russian agents were indited for election bullshit and Trump straight up said it was a good idea for russia to help with the investigation by having their agents come look at our election infrastructure; this is... kinda a bit of a holy poo poo they're jsut saying it out loud moment? If dems are gonna talk about the Russia investigation, it should be pointed out that the pot of gold at the end of the Mueller rainbow isn't going to be some nebulous "collusion" charge (which is true, but who cares? and as said, we've meddled in more countries internal politics then anyone) but the decades of financial crimes that Trump and the GOP have committed, defrauding anyone and everyone they could. Even when we do catch these rich fuckers red-handed we're lucky to get a slap on the wrist. We don't even have to go far for an example, as the $25 million Trump university settlement, which scammed thousands of American's who thought Trump was a financial genius ended up costing him not even 1% of his net worth. Jailing these fuckers on the billions of dollars they've laundered, defrauded and stolen from the American people would be a good start to letting the rest of them know they're not above the law. I don't have any faith that's what is actually gonna happen but it sounds nice.

ThndrShk2k posted:I call into question Hillary being anything remotely close to 'magnetic' on her own. My take is that at some point in her life Hillary Clinton was an authentic, kind of quirky and sometimes even fun young woman. Sure she'd never be a Bill or Obama but at least she could have been a regular human being that someone might have liked, or at least have been bland or inoffensive like the majority of American politicians. Then she decided she would focus test her persona out to a consultant and did her best to do whatever bullshit notes came back at the time. This woman who was born and raised in Chicago and went to school in the Northeast had a southern accent in the 90s when she needed to win over Arkansas voters, then dumped it for a Yankees cap when she carpetbagged her way into the senate.

Over Easy posted:I can't wait for the mid terms to be over so we can dive right the gently caress into the 2020 shitstorm. It's going to be so hosed, and in ways we cannot even comprehend atpit. Try to remember the person you were before the 2016 election. That person is dead and the new you is only going to get newer. Not in any kind of good way, mind you. Or we could get into a situation where 20 democrats are running to be the most deocromous head of the resistance and it's a loving snoozefest right up until they get pummeled in the general. Even Bernie, who is mostly good still has a serious case of decorum brain poisoning. If that happens, 2024 is gonna be the real shitstorm.

Can I get a succ zone recap: House GOP set up a vote on a symbolic bill to abolish ICE that every member of congress knew full well would never ever pass. Democrats, when faced with the option to cast said symbolic vote to eliminate the organization that ripped babies from their mothers and threw them in cages, decided it was not "politically convenient" to do so. That more or less accurate?

It's funny that house republicans voted like 37 times or some poo poo to repeal Obamacare knowing it wasn't gonna pass but no one said "oh we can't do this cause it's not politically convenient" or "we don't have a plan to replace it!" they just did it so they could their tell frothing base they had some actual convictions. Meanwhile now dems are in the same position and the GOP teed up for them a chance to be against the baby cagers and they're all like "oooh no we can't vote for this political stunt! what will the moderate suburban republicans think?"

Can you imagine the piss-poor slap on the wrist the Russia investigation would have resulted in if Comey hadn't been fired? At least with Mueller in charge we might see a few of Trump's lackeys thrown in jail in hilarious fashion. A Jared Kushner scalp would be the best we can hope for.

Corky Romanovsky posted:Mueller is a trashman. Don't get your hopes up. well obviously, but if he locks a few people up for my amusement I'll consider it a net positive. i.e. Paul Manafort facing like 4 lifetimes worth of prison time Any serious consequences that come from his team are directly related to Trump making GBS threads on the FBI and Comey. If Trump had kept nice with Comey we wouldn't even be able to hope for that much.

Any attempt to threaten anyone would be met with riotous and well deserved laughter and if he had any self awareness he would step down as leader after the midterms. Schumer is of course garbage, but aside from Bernie (who is not even a democrat!) who would even step forward to want to be minority leader and not be totally loving useless at it?

I'm sure Ben Jealous is decent and Bernie's endorsement carries a lot of weight but Larry Hogan is the most popular governor in the country right now and he's got cancer pity points. If he loses re-election then that means the blue wave is so strong it swept a super majority into the house and senate, and I don't think anyone here thinks that's gonna happen.
