Fez Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 If Handel wins, worth noting that her entire campaign message was attacking Ossoff as a vote for Pelosi. And that's a theme we've seen over and over, because it works (Montana is another example). I don't care if its unfair, Pelosi needs to retire for the good of the party.

What do you know that we don't? That we haven't won any fucking elections. I'm tired of Democrats claiming "victory" because they lost by less than usual. I'm not saying that what happens here is necessarily a preview of 2018 -- though, let's not kid ourselves, it is absolutely a preview of 2018 -- but to lose by less is functionally identical to losing by the same amount. The Democrats are pathetic. They are batting .000 in the friendliest political climate in a generation. In Republican-held areas, sure, but that's where gains come from by definition. Personally I'm hoping that in 2020 we have free and fair elections and no death camps. That's where my level of optimism is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why the gun hogs aren't up in arms over this one. (OK, I get it, it's because he's black, but still, fuck those motherfuckers). "I thought if he has the guts and the audacity to smoke marijuana in front of the five-year-old girl, and risk her lungs and risk her life by giving her secondhand smoke ... then what care does he give about me?" - Former Officer Yanez (source) Yep. Once Yanez realized that Castile might have smoked a joint!!!!!! around a child, there were literally no lows to which he might stoop. Murdering a police officer - sure. Now, the officer himself said that the four-year-old was in his line of fire, but marijuana?!?!? Did you know that seven hundred million people are murdered every year with marijuana? Facts. Yanez also says that Castile matched the physical description of an armed robbery suspect. He couldn't remember what the description was, other than African-American and dreadlocks, and he says that he couldn't see what Castile's hairstyle was (cornrows, dreads, or straight), but he sure as fuck was black with a busted tail light. Case closed, execution conducted. Well done shit head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're holding the Senate floor and refusing unanimous consent to move forward on everything save honorariums. It doesn't change anything. They'll also be doing some voteorama stuff when the bill hits, but chances are good that rs will just put forward a dummy bill and debate that for 20 hours and then amend with the real bill.

What do you know that we don't? While it is widely expected that Democrats will improve their positions in Congress (the party that does not hold the Presidency generally does so in midterm elections), special elections are not necessarily representative of the magnitude of this improvement. For example, in January 2010, Republican Scott Brown did not merely do better than expected in the Senate race of arch-liberal Massachusetts -- he actually won. However, this did not translate too Republicans winning the Senate in November 2010 (although they did narrow the Democrats' margin there). The Georgia election was interesting: it looks like we're not quite at the level of an outright plutocracy yet. It would have been even more interesting had the Republicans not matched the spending of the Democrats (or close to it) in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
