Nah.  Fight me about it.

Russia doesn’t care about ISIS either. They’re cool with al-Assad using chemical weapons on the entire country and then just coming in and setting up their own regime. They have his ear so it just makes their influence in the area go unopposed. That in itself is a big win, but aside from that, our sudden departure of…

its called the “enthusiastic dance” in Destiny 2, but your point is still valid. i also think it helps that while you can buy emotes in Destiny, most people just got them for free.

I’m picturing it along the lines of the Office when Jim convinced Dwight to make himself his own Assistant to the Assistant Regional Manager.

I’m trying to follow your point here. I’m not trying to argue liberal vs leftist because its a spectrum and purity tests like that are entirely subjective: “if you don’t believe in X then you can’t be Y” which is a pointless exercise. What I’m trying to say basically is Bernie Sanders can talk about a minimum wage…

You are correct about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez but here are some other names to make that point: Lucy McBath, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, Sharice Davids, Abby Spanberger, Katie Hill, Katie Porter. This is just to name a few female reps they backed and helped win office.

I can understand the former critique but not the later. They talk a lot about medicare for all, a federal jobs guarantee, $15 minimum wage, DC/PR statehood, green jobs, free in-state college tuition/student load forgiveness, getting more minorities and women in elected office. I’m honestly curious what I’m missing…

yeah considering these white bro “centrists” helped hundreds of thousands of people register and develop voting plans on Vote Save America. i don’t think splinter has a leg to stand on with this one, it’s just petty. to even say PSA is centrist is a joke, they’re an open platform for the entire Democratic party,…

Democratic strategists got to Beto early apparently.

Tastes like Froot Loops!

ideally sure, but realistically im not so naive to think if Democrats don’t win every single seat then Trump has won.  some states might’ve rewarded him but the country as a whole did not.  but to your point, im also not naive enough to think there’s any reality in which Trump sees the midterms as a rebuke of his…

im not following how he was “rewarded” by losing control of funding any sort of meaningful legislature.  i think he acted this way because he feels the walls closing in if anything.

considering being inserted back into society after serving their time is a huge part of rehabilitation, this will presumably help keep some convicts out of jail.

i’ll never understand how running better candidates and winning more elections is a bad strategy. hell, democrats get blamed for being obstructionist RIGHT NOW, when they don’t control anything they get blamed. i’m sorry i’d rather get blamed while having some iota of power than get blamed while having none.

I know of literally 0 democrats that expected the Senate to turn and I talked to hundreds of them while canvassing for Gillum in North Florida. The results are what most people expected, which is Democrats swinging more seats than Republicans. Saying its a shift from red towards grey is assuming all seats were in play…

I’m not sure what the actual metrics are for a “blue wave”. I hate the term. But a nearly 40 seat swing in the House is something, no matter how wide and shallow you want to consider it to be, the country shifted blue. Again, it just seems like you’re trying to convince yourself of something when there’s evidence of…

It’s almost as if it was one of the most unfavorable Senate cycles for Democrats in decades.  The Democrats could flip the House so they did, the Senate was a long shot but they still put up some great candidates.  I’m not sure what you’re suggesting they could’ve done alternatively but having power over something as…

Keep in mind Paul Ryan, AKA the voice of conscious for the GOP, does most of the fund raising for the NRCC and CLF super PAC. For a guy who tries to distance himself from Trump at every turn and claims to condemn divisive rhetoric, he’s playing Trump’s game pretty well.

But do they understand individuals aren’t responsible for an entire group of people?  Isn’t this the basis of the whole caravan, immigration/MS13, race baiting, anti-Muslim rhetoric though? Let’s not portray it as the GOP being a champion of humanitarianism and level headedness.

You’re right, it isn’t. Our current president lost his home state by nearly 2 million votes... over 20%. If you can get 270 electoral votes it doesn’t matter where they come from.  If this metric was true Hilary Clinton would be president right now.
