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?
Also my state of Maine got unfucked finally so I can toast to that.

How would a Bernie/Beto 2020 ticket sound? Could it work? (Especially if Bernie dies in office and Beto takes over?)

Is this really good or really bad for Trump? I remember being told last year that Trump firing Mueller would absolutely backfire.

Is there a political way out for our country? I keep thinking it's going to come down to violence. I don't want that, I'm not advocating that. But when one side just decides that truth doesn't matter, only power does, it sets us down a path I'm not sure how we escape. I don't know that our divisions can be healed. It's worrying and I don't know where to talk about it or if I'm even supposed to talk about it.
Wouldn't violence escalate into guerilla-style civil war with nukes potentially involved?

Have all of you spring chickens calmed the gently caress down over Ginsberg going 'whoops I had a non-fatal fall better get treatment' yet?

If Ohio's healthcare caves in under the recession and a good number of it's elderly die out by 2025, would that technically make Ohio a blue state again?

I see the vitriol of making GBS threads on a still-warm (half-decent) presidential corpse is not beneath you goons.

I briefly saw him at a Baseball Game in Portland ten years ago. He wasn't eating a puppy then.

So I found a shortlist of potential SoD replacements:

quote:

* Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)
* David McCormick, combat vet, Bush II Treasury undersecretary, CEO of Bridgewater Associates
* Gen. Jack Keane
* Former Senator Jim Talent (R-MO)
* Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
* Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats

From Best to Worst which pick would do?

Thought Exercise: A human rights group goes to one of Rio's Favelas and spends a few years improving its infrastructure and rehabilitating people. Out of 1000 people, only 50 manage to elevate themselves and move out of the favelas. The rest return to a life of narcotics. Would the project be considered a success (50 peoples' lives improved) or a failure? (950 did not)
