Yeah, I have children. We were by ourselves for a quick getaway, but I saw nothing good coming from it. As you said, 10 years ago I’m fairly certain we would’ve scrapped in the parking lot.

Yeah, I mean to say the same basic thing you said. I didn’t make my point clearly enough...my fault. What I mean to say is, people can and will do openly racist things at public events like baseball games without it necessarily causing an altercation, precisely because of what you say. The vast majority simply (and…

To your second point, last sentence: This man had his children with him. His primary concern should be their safety and well-being, not picking a pointless fight with a fucking Nazi at a baseball game. Of course his concern centers around physical safety. There’s a fucking Nazi sitting in front of him. It’s not like…

Racism? At an Indians game?

ALL OF THIS. the Democrats have been shut out of the legislative process entirely - and they are making sure that is a widely known fact - so, since their schedules have been freed up for the next two years, lets see some all-hands-on-deck meetings to come up with the unified messaging strategy for the 2018 elections.

See, again, that is not fucking true at all. Clinton always supported a $12 minimum wage, she never had to be “hammered” to do so. All the bullshit surrounding this came about because she didn’t agree with Bernie’s federal $15 min wage.

Naw, it meant plenty. The campaign stuck to the platform in plenty of ways that pushed them further to the left than Obama was in 2012.

I wrote a bunch here, but had to stop when I realized I was arguing with someone who described Trump’s current education policies as essentially a continuation of Obama’s, just at a faster speed. And that Hillary would have been the same as Trump education-wise, just slower.

See, here’s a perfect example of how some on the left are trying to revise history to fit their preconceived bias. Clinton had always advocated for raising the minimum wage since it was first brought up in the campaign back in 2015. She just thought that the federal min should be $12, not $15. She also supported…

Not really. The same brain dead electorate remains, they simply elect a repugnant shitheel with even less experience.

Is it because the actual plans don’t matter, like a Trump voter?

YUP. A lot of dems are just as emotional and irrational as Trump voters. Just... Hillary didn’t FEEL progressive enough, whether or not the facts supported that.

OMG I know. And then they act like those white working class swing voters voted for Trump because Hillary wasn’t liberal enough. What? We had a turnout issue for a variety of reasons but those motherfuckers wanted the lying racist hothead who made them feel free and promised them the world.

The *real* problem with Democracts/liberals: endless self-laceration.

No, just no. Running someone who knows fuck all about politics and governing when part of the problem with the current president being ineffective is that he knows fuck all about politics and governing completely takes away that avenue of attack. No, you don’t want a celebrity, you want a politician. I’d say either a…

Barring a constitutional convention that revamps the way Congress is structured, we will remain a two-party system. Full-stop.

Yeah, can you believe the people elected last November are still in power? Gawd the revolution is a total failure.

Exactly. In the past, the only time a new party has come to power is when they eventually basically took over and the old party went extinct.

People tend to want to band together to enhance their power. A two party system coming out of that shouldn’t surprise anyone.

We don’t need a frontrunner at this point. At this point in 2005, who the fuck thought Obama would be the nominee 3 years later?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but so long as we don’t have a Parliament or Congress where people are appointed proportionately to how many votes a party receives, a >2 party system isn’t going to work. All they’ll do is siphon off enough votes from one party to hand power to the other party. We are locked in a binary…
