  1. people make this suggestion every few months on here. that would take repeal of section 2 of the voting rights act because of minority opportunity districts. imagine a scenario where there was racially polarized voting. only through de facto segregation would you ever have a minority representative under your proposal. not exactly a worthy goal. and one the VRA is specifically acknowledges exists.
  2. my guess is a little nerd's seed had been planted in sheared sheep.
  3. https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/delaware-county-council-philadelphia-suburbs-democrats-20191106.html probably more important for the 2020 implications than the Kentucky celebration is the Pennsylvania celebration.
  4. So you admit they are good people!
  5. Good news! Based on rural opioid death rates, it’s happening!
  6. That show I read it too, with the good news caveat of saying trump did try to make the gov race a trump referendum, and that still was not enough. The implication being even trump mind control only goes so far with.
  7. yeah, i was impressed.
  8. I’m surprised they put this proposition on the ballot right now. It reminds me of a bathroom bill or something. Totally meaningless but designed to drive up a particular turn out. But there’s nothing else to turn out for here.
  9. I’ll pitch voting yes on prop 5. We need more money in our state parks. If you’ve tried to book a camping spot lately you know what I mean.
  10. This little Fred Thompson diversion will get out of control.
  11. I was just joshin’. My official opinion here is there’s no way the Supreme Court allows him to withhold returns.
  12. lemme tell you a little about bush v gore
  13. my prediction.
  14. what's her face that communes with the spirits was laughed at all the time.
  15. I think it is assumed the wave size gets tamped down in Presidential years, though.
  16. for a lot of those: it's a product of the US slowly losing its place as the shining city on the hill. when it was unquestioned, it's easy to assume whatever we were doing was the best. majority=good. order=good. status quo=good. now you have wealth inequality, lack of economic opportunity, population crunches. things get questioned. as for 'melting pot = good', I doubt that was ever a majority opinion. it was just something people that wrote textbooks would pay lip service to. i don't think we need to catalog how every new group over the last 150 years was considered a plague on the pristine population that was here.
  17. Wow. That reads like Jussie Smollett except actually true. Good lord.
  18. I've seen too many polls to believe there will be any reckoning here. Rs start with about 190 electoral votes. He just needs 80 more to get it done. I don't think he will, but I think it will be very close and probably differs based on who is nominated.
  19. Pretty healthy win in Texas for Trump over any D. https://www.texastribune.org/2019/11/04/democrats-dont-have-candidate-who-would-beat-trump-texas-today-poll/
  20. It’s the best defense they have and I hope Ds have been working on how to counter it. Best is to workshop the best one sentence summary of the act in terms that are obviously corrupt. “We cannot allow a president to [undermine elections] by [inviting foreign interference] [trading our military for political favors]”. Something that no one can dismiss as innocent. Workshop it, repeat it ad nauseum.
  21. I literally have no idea what the Addams family one is even saying. I get hunters hand in the cookie jar. I get the whistleblower is unknown. Everyone else is just a drawing of a someone in character of the show.
  22. Remember the “deliverable” Trumps team had been insistent on: not an investigation, but the public announcement of the investigation. that should clue you in to whether he was getting political advantage as an ancillary benefit to carrying out his duties, or if the political issue was the goal itself.
  23. He’s going to lose this fight because shifty Schiff and nervous Nancy are weak nicknames and “perfect call” is too dumb even for his base to repeat.
  24. Can't wait for the DOTARD gloat tweet. Predicting a Robert Francis comment.
  25. lower approval and lower disapproval than cruz. weird. almost as much undecided about a multi-term senator as either the approves or disapproves.
