  1. Dem voters are out of fucks to give and I am here for it. Maybe Al Franken will come back.
  2. Obama:Tea Party::Trump:Whatever this is
  3. It’s impossible to message the shutdown because the Dem base is screaming something completely different. This isn’t a win if the base thinks it’s a loss. That’s not the base’s problem, it’s Dem leadership’s. They have lost touch with their own voters over the last 10 months. Fucking 70-year old grannies that voted for Hillary in 2016 are laughing at the fact that Charlie Kirk caught a bullet with his carotid. You guys who I know voted R until 15 years ago are talking about maximum pain and throwing out the old norms of politics. Because you are normal left of center voters living in the real world. Senators aren’t that. They don’t know what’s going on and the have no means of messaging that will make their voters happy. They wont learn until a few of them end up on the wrong side of a primary challenge. That is where we are headed. It’s 2010 all over again, just the blue version.
  4. To play Devils advocate, we’ve been asking for the Dems to play for naked political gain for awhile now and looks like they are finally executing the plan. I’d lump prop 50 in with this.
  5. Yes. The actual number of Dems who wanted to end the shutdown was greater than the 8. I’d even wager at least one of the 8 voted against their own beliefs but were compelled to vote the way they did. The notion that these were rogues is false. This was the work of Dem leadership and why Schumer needs to go.
  6. Certainly true, but the Plattner stuff has me thinking that even Dem voters are beginning to recognize that the perfect candidate doesn't exist, not that this particular issue with Talarico had any legs to begin with.
  7. What? The way we fix this is through primary elections. I like most of your takes but this is just stupid. Want to stop those annoying Allred texts? Beat his ass in the primary.
  8. It’s all just noise until these assholes start losing elections.
  9. He only helps the GOP win elections when he is on the ballot. He is a net negative otherwise, whether in office or not.
  10. I would hit up this one Mexican restaurant called Alcatraz in Berlin frequently with friends, mostly because the margs were damn good, as were all of the other drinks. The food was tasty, but odd. Not a chili in sight. The fajitas were heavily seasoned with thyme and bay leaves. I found this great taco place Dolores late into my stay there. Highly recommend.
  11. Medicare for You
  12. Who says it’s hypothetical?
  13. One of these days a legit ex-MAGA is going to run for office as a Dem and all of us from the Center to the left need to decide what we are going to do. Is it disqualifying?
