ā€œIf Mitt worked this hard on Obama, he could have wonā€

…

He is just straight up stating that what he’s doing with Ukraine is him ā€œworking hardā€ on Biden. In the same tweet that he says the phone call was not political. Umm

We have women. Plural! There are at least two! Maybe three!

Also I count as a minority.

The level of voter suppression directed at us is outrageous. I have never yet successfully voted in a US election.

Dems suck mostly in policy as well as tactics. They don’t fight because about 75% of them are complicit and want to lose everything except their office. And Republicans are no different and that’s why they’re a bunch of Lindsey Grahams. A giant peaceful movement to not vote for anyone who has ever been a Democrat or a Republican would be such a beautiful thing. The alternative is going to be something like burning down 100000 buildings. I guess that or quiet resignation to a permanent tragic comedy.

hey! I even have a picture of myself.

Seriously though, even though deep down I think a lot of people here are slightly delusional and have no idea what goes on out in the real world, it’s still one of the few places on the internet that I haven’t been propositioned, called a ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  sent dick pics, or threatened with rape or other bodily harm in DMs because of my opinions. It’s a winner in my book!

Strongly disagree. This would result in getting a bunch of Republicans elected.

The only way progress is going to happen is to ally with the Democrats and get rid of all the shitty members AOC-style.

22 politics has an active thread on why there are no women there. Chez says it’s because fly and I are meanies, the rest seem to think it’s hormones.

Maybe, and an AOC-Bernie style takeover of the party would be good, but I’m a little tired of just going along with the Dem-liberal bubble. Just as many Republican voters hate the Republican party as Democratic voters hate the Democratic party.

Sixty-one per cent of survey respondents say neither political party reflects their opinions today, while 38% disagree. Nearly eight in 10 (77%) independents and a majority (54%) of Republicans took this position, while less than half (46%) of Democrats agree. There was virtually no variation across class or race.

I think Tent Cities in the desert is good. After all, Trump pardoned Arpaio, so the conditions must be good enough.

I would like to see:

A) If that still holds in 2019. A lot has changed since mid-2016.

B) If it is true, what is the reasoning? If Republican voters hate the Republican Party because they don’t feel like they are being racist enough, that doesn’t help things.

And if Republicans dislike their party for being so racist but they begrudgingly pull the R levers anyway, that’s another problem.

They already subpoenaed everything under the sun last go round. They issued over 100 subpoenas related to Benghazi, iirc. After everything that has happened in the past 8 ish years, I don’t understand why you are worried about what the Republicans may do.

HAHAHAHAHA

wow, now I’m tempted to go back…but nah

By far the 3rd party efforts that drew from mostly Replublican/Conservative voters have been the most successful. Perot and Roosevelt were the only ones in forever who had a remote shot and like in 2016 Johnson got 3 times as many votes as Stein.

We should keep them in ICE/CPB custody, I hear they have cages.

Since soliciting foreign interference is apparently ok now, I am announcing that I’m willing to trade my vote for a Wallaby.

P.S. - if soliciting foreign interference is, in fact, still illegal, I am 100% joking, not making a real offer. #noquidproquo

PPS - I feel the need to tell you that I vote in Washington, DC, so I won’t hold a grudge if you hold out for a better offer from someone who can actually vote for Senators.
