The DNC 2020

@Vict0ar

I am much more worried about getting sent to camps by the liberals than the Trump conservatives.

This is a pretty bad post.

What if Powell makes an incredible face turn and endorses Bernie Sanders.

I’m just so god damn sick of Democrats always thinking their path to power is embracing Republicans. They’ve been doing it for literally my entire life and the results speak for themselves.

All your core policy preferences poll at 70% plus! Talk about health care, common sense gun control, the military industrial complex, income inequality, literally anything! You’re right on every single issue!

When you trot out Republicans you’re sending the message that they’re right when they are absolutely wrong. About everything. You normalize their downright abhorrent platform and record. You validate the fantasy of the “reasonable Republican” and, whether you like it or not, implicitly tell people its OK to vote for them! If they were so awful, surely they wouldn’t be speaking at the Democratic convention!

Shaming would be far more effective. I hate the DNC more than anything.

[wheatrich]

I hate it too but the core base has a mindset of “let’s work together” versus the republican base of “throw them in the camps”. Clearly this is changing a bit, but nationally the numbers for fuck them aren’t there yet.

Funny (sad) thing is he actually believes it. It’s a completely delusional worldview.

I don’t remember, was he one of the diehard anarcho-capitalists back in the day?

@microbet

How about when he did welfare reform and was looking to privatize social security?

Clinton wanted to privatize social security? Get the fuck out, really? I was born in '86 so my direct recollection of Clinton’s presidency, especially the first term, is minimal.

@oneeyedtripping

Which voting base does Colin Powell bring and would people be upset if he wasn’t included in the convention?

Nothing Kasich didn’t already bring. But the media will fawn over it, he’s VERY well respected by the Both Sides Crew.

@oneeyedtripping

Also how much say did AOC and Bernie have in Powell speaking

None.

@oneeyedtripping

and if they did have say would they want him?

Fuck no.

Yeah, I mean, Arizona and McCain and Biden were buds in the Senate for a while, Cindy McCain can actually be effective with a few minutes of time.

BREAKING: AOC’s actually only getting 45 seconds, and it’s to introduce Colin Powell. Pre-recorded to make sure she stays in her lane.

Just kidding.

I hope.

[anon38180840]

You know, now that I think of it, maybe Pelosi should have made DeJoy testify this week to step on the Republican convention.

[grue]

Honestly didn’t really mind the kasich pick/talk last night. It was fine/whatever/they framed it well. Powell getting to talk is a fucking joke. Fuck the DNC christ.

[beetlejuice]

PLEDGE TIME, BABY

[anon38180840]

Ah yes, 1968, a great year in presidential politics. Oh, wait…
