If you think last night wasn’t a win for the Democrats, you have unreasonable expectations. Nothing was going to be fixed over night and you never stop working. Take a break but it’s going to take a long time to make change last.

That being said, why aren’t we talking about increasing the size of the House to mitigate gerrymandering and the obvious issues with the Electoral College?

The Electoral College takes an amendment, I'm pretty sure, and I think House size is a full Code change, so the Senate has to pass it too.

But the real reason ranges from Democrats really believing they can win those seats anyway, to the actual building not being big enough.

But I'd be happy to be wrong, a bigger house would go a long way.

But then what happens when there's only one person left? Can you guillotine yourself, or should we start training animals to operate them?

I think it's just pulling a lock out, so you probably can do it yourself or train animals or robots!

In more serious posting, I don't think we're likely to see anyone other than Pelosi. It's a bit like how it was when Ryan got elected, no one is eager to be the new Boogeyman. I'd like to be wrong or see Pelosi be more like McConnell.

Personally I've been very lucky with cops due to being light-skinned and having obvious middle class upbringing. But the problem is real, and at least extreme descalation of the militarization of police is necessary.

It's sad to me that it's a race problem because in a sane society we'd never want to see this happen to anyone.

I know it's inevitable that people who grew up in the first wave of Very Online people will become national political figures, but it still feels... weird. I'm not mentally ready for politicians who can speak fluidly about MMOs, Something Awful, etc.

The alternative are people who can afford to clean their online presence, aka the already rich and powerful.

It's loving tragic that she isn't eligible for the presidency because she was born in India. Unless both her parents were US citizens maybe? I dunno about that.

^ I posted a little bit in D&D during the 2012 campaign but didn't fully understand what was going on and was a terrible poster because I was still in high school.

Just checked Wikipedia, she naturalized so nope, not a natural born citizen. Though she's awesome and great and I'm so glad she's my rep.

I personally think Harris had disqualified herself but let's be honest. America eats up lovely retributive programs like the truancy program. This won't impact her anymore than the super predators thing did Clinton.

You may hope better, but I think we're still too early in shifting people's minds about our justice system. Not that we shouldn't try, I'm just cynical about the electorate.

what the gently caress even are 'punitive damages' as some side thing. I thought that was the point of 'pain and suffering'? "You hosed me up and made my life worse, you have to pay"?

Ianal, but punitive damages means paying damages so you're punished, so you don't do it (again or in the first place). It's usually meant when the actual damages are small.
