That’s fucking absurd. Clinton may be many things, but weak-willed is not one of them. The Democrats picked Clinton because Clinton has spent years building up a political machine designed to get her into the presidency and has also spent years getting allies into key positions in the DNC - effectively turning it into…

I hate to break it to you but taking back the Senate in 2018 is pretty much impossible.

Establishment Left also offers them cheap goods from China since Establishment Left is very much free trade.

You’re a fucking retard. There will be no taxes on imports because that’s banned by NAFTA - which Donald Trump has no authority to abrogate. Tech job shifting and trade deficits are not things that Trump has the ability to address. Having to “deal on their own with people coming here illegally” is stupid since a wall…

Actually, I wouldn’t say that Hillary couldn’t speak to their concerns. She absolutely could. There’s a case to be made there on the left. She just didn’t.

Why on earth do you think they’ll lash out at the GOP? They’re going to lash out at minorities and liberals again. When their situation doesn’t improve, the GOP will simply cry about Democratic obstructionism in the Senate, blame those lousy Dems for filibustering their reforms, and then grab even more power in the…

I applaud your determination. Please tell us what you’re going to actually do, which organizations you’re going to volunteer with, etc. to get this “new movement” rolling. Because just sitting around jerking off to the echo chamber that is this website isn’t going to do jack shit.

Actually, I’ll say that it’s not so much about likeability but that Clinton ran essentially as the steady, centrist, establishment candidate and completely ignored the populist anger that has been sweeping through the country.

Unfortunately, this person is assuming that Johnson voters were all secret Republicans and there’s simply no polling data supporting that. When Johnson was included in polling data, Clinton’s lead over Trump shrank in pretty much every poll. There’s a good bit of data supporting the idea that Johnson, in fact, pulled…

Not likely. 2/3 of the Senate seats up for election in 2018 are Democrats - including normally safe Republican spots like Montana and North Dakota. There’s an excellent chance that Republicans gain a filibuster proof majority in the upper house and will be able to literally pass anything they want in two years.

And a nuclear holocaust just became a very real possibility.

1. Yeah, no. This is a popular narrative but I promise you the Republican party is dedicating lots of resources even to supposedly “safe” Democratic states like NY and CA. I’ve lived there and I can promise you that’s the case. The Democrats commit lots of resources to major Republican safe states like Texas.

1. I don’t know if you noticed, but they already run a 50 state campaign.

Or you could do the very best thing which would be to get rid of both the money and the electoral college - granted neither are happening anytime soon.

Because in a one man one vote system, 6% can and will often be the needed difference between coming up short and attaining majority.

That is an outrage, honestly. Texas SHOULD have a much bigger say than either Delaware or Nevada.

That makes absolutely no fucking sense and betrays a complete lack of understanding of politics in this country. There would still be only two major party candidates with any chance of winning. Voting for anyone except those two major candidates would still be seen as “throwing your vote away.” The electoral college…

Please stop. The city is getting boned on the Nats stadium deal. Stadium fees (rent plus stadium sales tax) don’t remotely cover the debt service most of which is funded by the gross receipts tax levied on all large district businesses. The development around the stadium has little to do with the actual stadium and,…

It was a set play that they’ve practiced. Great pass, no doubt about it, but it’s not like it was something he came up with on the fly - he knew Dunleavy was going to be there. There’s a good number of other NBA player who could also make the pass.

Sure, if he had braked properly he would have still been ahead. But he didn’t brake properly. He had a massive lock up and to stay on the track he would have had to alter his line and speed in such a way that he almost certainly would have been passed or maybe have held up Rosberg behind him and allowed Verstappen a…
