I'm almost certain I've never once mentioned Dianne Feinstein in this thread. Really have no idea what you're even talking about.

I've also said many times that I was never a big Hillary supporter although she was obviously 10000x better a candidate than Dotard.

Your entire post is one big straw man and you should feel bad about it


Straw man? Says the guy who waves blue colored pompoms. Every time you shill for the Democrats you look sillier and sillier.


Always makes me laugh how MAD people get over my posts.

Pro tip: for as mad as you are right now, you need to understand that I am not, and I don't actually care about your opinion at all.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Likewise buddy. But at the end of the day, my opinion triggers you because you can't call me a deplorable Trump supporter or a Republican shill, or any of the go to DNC attacks because I'm part of the demographic that the Dems pander to, all day everyday.

Ok. I gotta step in here now.

Yeah, I assume gtn is a Democrat or leans that way...but he has acknowledged the party's shortcomings.

Now with that being said, he believes that at it's core the Democratic Party is the superior party.

I understand that you may not believe that but judging from the popular vote the majority shares gtn's view.


LOL the popular vote means absolutely NOTHING other than the fact that one party is a little less hated than the other. The candidate who got the least amount of popular votes still won, and the Party that apparently is more unpopular in public opinion won both the house and congress.

In a corrupt two-party system, Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote means nothing other than she sucked a little less than the other a-hole. Pretty much every poll in existence shows the Democrats' popularity rating being the worst it's been in the PAST 25 YEARS, Hillary being one of the most unlikable candidates in American political history. If there were viable third and fourth parties, they would crush the two parties that exist now.

Lol would love for Conservatives to make their own version of Hollywood. The Conservative bubble is so detached from reality that it would be unintentional comedy. It would go as well as well The Blaze.

Have you seen the dreck that is conservative entertainment product? It's pretty bad. With the exception of Clint Eastwood, conservatives don't contribute much to popular culture...but they'll always have talk radio and country music.

The majority says neither party is superior :)

I'm probably going to go with the party that doesn't openly court white supremacists as superior but hey that's just me.

As a POC, I'd rather have them being out openly, rather than pandering and doing s##t like this:

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/abdul-el-sayed-michigan-governor-democrat-eligibility_us_5a729526e4b0bf6e6e219a8d

or this nonsense:

https://www.theroot.com/a-racist-flyer-might-cost-doug-jones-the-election-becau-1821065764

or this:

When Bill Clinton and the “New Democrats” emerged victorious in the 1990s, thanks in large part to 83 percent support from black voters in 1992 and 84 percent in 1996, they adopted policies, such as welfare reform (Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996) and a crime bill (Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994) that proved ruinous for many black Americans. “It is difficult to overstate the damage that’s been done,” the legal scholar Michelle Alexander noted recently of Clinton’s presidency. “Generations have been lost to the prison system; countless families have been torn apart or rendered homeless; and a school-to-prison pipeline has been born that shuttles young people from their decrepit, underfunded schools to brand-new high-tech prisons.” Clinton acknowledged last year that the crime bill “cast too wide a net” and made the problem of mass incarceration worse.


I mean...this is easy. You can write a novel on the nefarious policies that the democrats did that hurt minorities terribly.

But Hillary Clinton does the dougy, so I guess it's okay now. :roll:

Fair enough. Really it's a choice between "will actively endorse lynchings" vs. "will enact policies that institutionalize racism and destroy an entire generation." Not an exciting choice to make.

What a terrible post, comparing border wall to gated mansions, really? Also, people condemning gun laws. So people who ''condemning guns'' should also believe policemen and guards shouldnt have guns, or they are hypocrites? Would be hard to write up something that stupid even if you tried.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

A new Senate race has opened up in Mississippi in November with Thad Cochran's retirement on April 1. Yes Mississippi has been red for a long time but it is a different kettle of fish from Alabama in that the Republican numbers have never been as high in Mississippi. Mississippi has the largest % of Afro Americans at 38% and Democrats do have positions in the State Government. In a Special Election candidates must run as independents with no party affiliation.

538 has a interesting article on the race and a theory for a possible Democratic win.

PA18 in the latest Emerson poll has Lamb leading by 3%. This is a district that Trump won by 19% in 2016.
Top Republicans sound increasingly resigned to losing a special House election in Pennsylvania Trump Country a week from today, after party-affiliated groups spent more than $9 million on a race that should be a "gimme."

It's one of the increasingly bearish signs for the GOP ahead of November's midterms, with mammoth stakes for the West Wing: If Dems take the House and there's a Speaker Pelosi, President Trump faces endless subpoenas and perhaps impeachment proceedings.


Statistical Dead Heat in PA 18th Congressional Special Election. Democrat Conor Lamb leads Republican Rick Saccone 48% to 45%, 10 days out from election

It’s voter excitement that might put Lamb over the top. Whenasked about level of excitement among voters about the election, 63% of Lamb voters reported being very excited compared to 53% of Saccone voters.

The problem conservatives have is punching up is funny, punching down is not. Conservatives speak from a position of privilege. They literally can't make fun of anyone and have it be funny. They only conservative humor that works is making fun of other conservatives.

Hey, I would trade "being in a position to basically get whatever I want all the time because the billionaires are on my side" over "wah I can't tell any n***** jokes" any day.

I didn’t think that a Dem could win in AL, so I won’t dismiss the possibility. However, it’s stilp long odds for a Dem to win that state.
