Crakkerjakk posted:Depends on what your theory of power is. If it's to keep fighting the same "turn out your base and hope to convince the very small 'centrists' to mostly vote for you" that the Dems have been relying on since '92, no. You want my most cynical take on politics? People don't loving want policy. Policy and politics are, by and large, are things that are so far above people's heads they don't think about them even when they're directly effected by them (see also: "Keep the government out of my social security") What people want, by and large, is for themselves and their families to feel healthy, safe, and stable. They want next tuesday to look like last tuesday, so long as last tuesday was a good day. And if they can feel that they're doing better than at least one other poor sucker, well then that's just gravy. But if they feel that something they earned is being taken away to help out that poor sap, they'll fight like hell against it no matter how good the cause is, because the single most powerful motivating force in the human psyche is pure, raw, spite. Lyndon Johnson and his Great Society did more for the poor and for Civil Rights than any other president in American history. His Democratic Party then fractured and split apart and allowed Richard loving Nixon to take office, in large part because of Vietnam, but also because no matter what great things Lyndon Johnson did for them, people didn't feel safe or secure—they saw riots, wars, and fear, and then turned to the man who said he would put all those uppity bastards back in their place. So when people say that Sanders will generate tons of new voters with his policies, no, I don't believe it. And it's not because I don't like Sanders or his politics or policies, because I do, and there's a good chance I'll end up voting for him in the primary. But it's because that even if he does manage to get his proposals through Congress (Which will be difficult at best—I personally see Sanders negotiating about as well with Congress as Jimmy Carter did), will people turn out to vote? Will this create a groundswell of new support for leftist policies? Or will they continue to trickle in, not care so long as they're being fed, and disassociate the good things that government does from the people who fought for those policies? Well, without a time machine, it's hard to say, obviously. But I can tell you who won the House and Senate in 1946, and it wasn't the party that had brought in the New Deal and won World War II.

Crakkerjakk posted:I agree with this, but I disagree that "policy" is separate from "themselves and their families feeling healthy, safe, and stable." Except you cut off the next part that gives the Republicans so much success—that it is spite that motivates people to vote. People will turn out in droves to gently caress over the poor and immigrants. They won't to give healthcare to their fellow man. This, of course, doesn't mean we shouldn't fight for good policies. But it does mean that just because we have good policies does not mean that the votes will follow. People like Harry Truman, Adlai Stephenson, George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, and Al Gore can tell you that.

Jimmy is a good human being but was a terrible President. We could have had UHC in the '70s if not for him getting into a pissing match with Ted Kennedy.

Suicide Watch posted:This will trigger the incels and will be Warren's deplorable moment The only 'problem' with the Deplorables remark was that Hillary didn't stick with it. The campaign could have and should have gone all in on tying Trump's campaign to racism and white supremacy, highlighting the absolutely sickening array of human filth that was lining up to endorse him, and then challenged people-"If you support Trump, you might not be a deplorable person. You might be angry, confused, or scared. But look at who you're allying with-are these the kinds of people you're willing to look in the eye and vote alongside?" But instead she and the rest of the campaign backed off and apologized, because professional campaign advisers are cowards

facialimpediment posted:This is very true! Going to be the "bad, but not impeachable" line repeated over and over. Something interesting about this that the PSA guys mentioned on the episode that went up today was that while this is realistically the only defense Republicans can offer, the problem for them is that Trump is so impossibly vain that he takes any critique as a direct attack, and will attack them back. So they're stuck in a dilemma that their 'best' defense is also the one least acceptable to the person they are trying to defend.

45 ACP CURES NAZIS posted:dems suck rear end at this so much holy gently caress they let bush and some loving how TRUMP convince america that they had a connection with anyone that earned under 300k a year They tried that, it was Randy Bryce and I wish like hell he'd won against Paul Ryan. But unfortunately no matter the message and messenger there are still a huge number of people that it is almost impossible to convince not to vote against their own best interests.
