This should be the only response when people ask how will you pay for a program:

So you point out how fundamentally broken our system is while pledging that we need to work within it and believe a “demographic shift” will magically fix everything.

The Democrats had 59-60 votes in the Senate, a majority in the House and the presidency and got almost nothing done, but yeah, it worked great.

That’s literally the opposite of the point I’m trying to make.

Don’t worry. The Republicans are playing this like it’s a solid red state when it’s really purple with demographics that directly conflict with Kemp’s campaign strategy. It’d be like if the Democrats ran Ocasio-Cortez in New Hampshire in 2010.

Georgia is considerably blacker than Virginia though. Over 30 compared to 19% of the population. This is more like an Alabama situation with a Democratic candidate that will excite more than Doug Jones and a Republican that it will be a little bit easier to hold your nose and vote for than Moore. 

Not to mention that Georgia is a different kind of state, where Democrats do ok even in off years, there are lots of black people and a crazy Republican and black Democrat could drive up black turnout.

Really? The Democrat was within 8 points in 14. There is more Democratic sentiment nationally now, a black candidate that will drive black turnout and an insane Republican to scare people. I’d be shocked if Abrams wasn’t at least within a couple points, if not winning.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Georgia is pretty purple. Last gubernatorial election, the Democrat only lost by 8 percentage points in a Republican wave election, 10 in the red tsunami of 2010. Clinton lost by less than 6 points. And the state is blacker than most red states by a substantial amount, with…

Dude, I’m in a swing district and we have a “moderate” Republican Congressman who is campaigning on how he kept our rural, vastly white district safe from MS-13. The only “invaders” of our district are city people who come up on weekends to buy overpriced crap.

I was wondering how Cagle managed to get even less votes than he did in the first round of the primary. That last sentence explains it. Gotta know your constituents.

Anyone who supports Trump? Yeah. The majority. No.

Just go to an io9 Walking Dead article if you want true hell. Holy shit, I get that it’s not that great a show, but it mildly entertains me. Get a life.

Premier League can be fun. I was into it until my team got relegated. Only complaint would be lack of competition and playoffs but honestly, NBA has one of those problems and you get used to the other.

Just stop watching on your own and say you haven’t been following it but watch if it’s a friendly engagement or something. You don’t have to boycott it 100% at the expense of hanging with friends or something.

Don’t forget New York purging hundreds of thousands of voters from POC neighborhoods from the rolls in the 2016 primary and its arcane voting rules in general. This may be worse in red states but it’s not just a red state problem.

And yet, Bernie won primaries in and polled ahead of Trump in Wisconsin, and Michigan and polled ahead of Trump in those two states and Pennsylvania, which would’ve won the election.

So what? Our system is based around the Electoral College and that won’t change anytime soon, so if you can’t win with that, you’re useless. You also ignore the down-ballot destruction, which is so bad it literally might allow right-wing billionaires to re-write the Constitution.
