I like reading all of these weird hot takes about how Virginia, former capital of the confederacy and one of the last states to abolish Jim Crow laws (we still had some in the 90s(!!!!!!!)) is now a communist state

@mrmattimation ... And... Do you want Virginia to be communist ? raises eyebrow

Trump has a clean record of never having campaigned for anyone who lost.... which I assume is why he hasn’t done a single campaign rally in Virginia despite (or perhaps because of) Republicans facing losing their last footholds in the state.

@drinkingpony There’s 100% a path to re-election that doesn’t involve Virginia, which is why I’m confused why he’s targeting this state. He’s planning to offset potential losses in PA, WI, and especially MI by flipping Colorado, Nevada, New Hampshire, Virginia, and New Mexico. Problem is Clinton won three of those states by 5% or more and they only got more Democratic in elections after that. Realistically I could see him winning New Hampshire and maybe Nevada, which is TECHNICALLY enough assuming he loses the Great Lakes and wins Maine’s second congressional district, but it’s not at all a comfortable margin, and Democrats winning even one more electoral vote (ie by winning Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district) would screw him. His best path to victory is maintaining states he already won, not winning new ones, and going after the swing states that went for Clinton is a very weird move.
-
@mrmattimation Ohkay, I think I found the sore spot right then and there.
> "best path to victory is maintaining states already won, not winning new ones,"
That is way too much true to the whole idea of political ideologies eating themselves once they get more and more totalitarian. That is "Back your base !" "Back Your Base !" "BACK YOUR OWN FRIGGIN BASE !" untill you have alienated everyone that was not already part of the in-group by the first time those words were chanted.
Back to modern day America. No group is going to win without the support of the people who feel no strong affiliation and rather let the policies ( or gut ) speak to them. Hell, the Rust Belt voted surprisingly Trump after 2 election cycles of "Hope".
Not to say I would not be surprised that in the campaign office they jokingly talk about 'It is not about winning, it is about sending a message' while giving it their best Michael Caine impression.
But it honestly sometimes is, just about sending a message.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@drinkingpony It’s all in state leans really. If Trump doesn’t win Wisconsin, he can’t win Michigan, and if he can’t win Michigan, he can’t win Virginia, if he doesn’t win Virginia, he can’t win Colorado, etc, etc. Once you lose one state it becomes a lot harder to win states that lean further from you, not impossible, but harder.

Everytime I look at the inner workings of current day America I am both amazed and amused just a little bit more.
Imagine telling your political rival that she is a Russian asset ( and then the Republican fubar story bending ) only to see your political rival hit over 2% in the DNC approved polls so you get see her be on the debate.
I might be REALLY late to draw that conclusion but it took a while for me to figure out how the DNC polling actually works.
But I am probably boring you all to death with stuff like this, I just had to laugh when I found out how the boomerang effect actually worked in this :)Thursday, 31-Oct-19 13:46:27 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

Next thing you are going to tell me that Hillary was not a political rival to Obama back in 2008 either ( 128 delegates too short, you know what I am talking about )
But I know what is wrong here. Go look up the definition of the word 'Rival' and then get back to me.

@drinkingpony Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were literally running against each other you weak-chinned gimp, I don’t know why you think you, as a non-American, are the authority on American politics because you read a copy of the NY Post on reddit two years ago, especially when you keep spouting blatantly untrue bullgrape that plays straight into alt-right gaslighting strategies. Not only are Clinton and Gabbard not even in the same race, if they were Gabbard STILL would be polling below 5%, I hate Hillary Clinton but even I’m not blind and stupid enough to think that Clinton and Gabbard are ANYWHERE in the same league. At least Bernie Sanders was liked by more than two people, Gabbard is a god damn joke over here, she is not ahead or even competing in ANY state primary contest, she’s even losing in her own home state, she’s the kind of brain dead moron who’s asking wage slaves to talk to their managers because her turkey wasn’t cut exactly one eight of an inch at the deli.
-
@mrmattimation If Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were running against eachother that makes them rivals. If someone in your 'group' calls you out for doing or being bad, then you are rivals too.
Also, I keep spouting blatantly untrue bullgrape ? Have you ever looked into a mirror ? Also I hope Reddit dies since it is nothing but a circlejerk.
Gaslighting not a tool of the alt-right. It is being employed as a tool by all political sides.
You are blind if you do not see the relevance of being called a something by a super ( Oh but she is not running, so it is ohkay *eyeroll* )
I do not care if she does not stand a chance, I find it hilarious that someone can make a comeback from the brink of falling off the radar by a FUBAR by HRC.
I am afraid I know nothing about her Turkey though. Only thing I know about Turkey is a recent vote in the House of Representatives about acknowledging a genocide. But I would be surprised if Tulsi knows anything about that, even though that is her job.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

If Gabbard is intent on wasting her time fighting somebody who isn’t even on the ballot, that’s her choice, though. Doesn’t change the fact that she will never be President.

Aging like milk that one is.
But to adres what you said. It is not the fact that she is fighting someone who isn't on the ballot, It is that the other party picked a fight and lost in the most spectacular way. I hope you like seeing her on the debate stage ( even if she might not get any microphone time ). Remember who you have to thank for that, someone who has been an insider for YEARS.

I wish we’d just take party labels off of politicians and just let their policy do the talking. In 2018 very progressive ballot initiatives were voted in by the people on the same day that the same state elected Trump Republicans.

A three-way race with Tulsi running as an independent probably is the precursor to a Democrat being elected President (see: 1992)
Friday, 25-Oct-19 06:23:37 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation But Ross Perrot ran on a platform closer to Bush's than Clinton's to the point where he endorced the republicans in 2000 and beyond. ( Also in 1992 he did not recieve any electoral college votes, but it was still considdered to have divided the voting public to a degree where Bush lost that year )
Tulsi Gabbard was the vice chair of the DNC and did Democratic 'things' before that. So instead of snooping off of the Republican votes ( like the 1992 Perot example ), she will snoop off the Democrat votes.
Remember when Trump had to sign an accord with the GOP that he would not run as independant ? Looks like "the worm has turned" to mangle a phraise.
So yeah, Tulsi, if you want to see Trump 2020 succeed. DO IT !Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

Somehow not surprising that Tulsi Gabbard primary supporters have a net negative favorability for every single other Democratic candidate (including Bernie, at negative thirty percent). If Hillary Clinton is right in that she’s being groomed for a third party run, she’s a pretty bad candidate to groom, since it seems current Tulsi supporters are probably more likely to vote for Trump in a two-way race.
