So how the hell did Nelson get more votes than Gillum? I expected Gillum to get more than Nelson cause he was the more "exciting" candidate and Rick Scott is a big name in the state. I can imagine someone voting Gillum/Scott on a misguided "political outsiders are good" ideology but what kind of person votes Nelson/DeSantis?

If I had to pick only one, I'd rather Gillum won than Nelson. Yeah, that one vote in the Senate is looking to be extremely important, but Florida is on the front lines of the climate change fight and it's so vital to have a governor who will do something about it. Plus the governor elected this year will be presiding over the next round of redistricting and voting in the 2020 election so if we had Gillum, we'd be able to prevent the worst of any poo poo Republicans will undoubtedly try.

I don't know what Montana Dems are doing right, but other red state Democratic parties should be doing whatever they're doing.

Ohio I can understand Dems making a strategic retreat from. But Iowa? Dems just won three out of four House districts there, and as time goes on, Trump's stupid trade war is just going to hurt them more and more. Long-term it might be difficult to hold on there for demographic reasons, but in 2020 I think it's very much in play.

silence_kit posted:Can you show me where? 'American HDI' seems to have a totally different range of values, so if you tried to compare HDI with 'American HDI' the numbers would be very different. E.g. Mississippi has an 'American HDI' of 3.8, but also has an HDI of 0.866. I'm pretty sure no American liberal is saying we should be more like Poland, specifically.

That's a shame because this thread has some good info and discussion otherwise. Do twitter links not display as the full tweet in your browser?

In his press conference just now he claimed that he wasn't in the picture and he had no knowledge of it or why it's on his yearbook page, but he admitted to doing blackface himself on another occasion, when he was dressing up as Michael Jackson, so

Arkhams Razor posted:I don't think so. Him getting the nomination is probably the only realistic chance Doug Jones has of keeping the seat. It is probably the best case scenario for Jones, but even then, I think Moore would have the edge in that race. Moore's child molestation only made him lose by 2 points in 2017, and that was largely because of Republicans staying home in that race. In 2020, him being a sexmonster will be old news and he'll be boosted by being downballot from Trump.

If oppressed people openly wish death upon their oppressors then I don't hold that against them, but I will hold elected officials to a higher standard than that. I'd vote for that guy against any Republican but I'd strongly prefer a progressive whose rhetoric is not so violent.
