If you're serious, check out Lawrence. If you have money, go see a KU basketball game. If not go see a local band at downtown.

Lawrence is the least Kansas town in Kansas; it's a good town

Lawrence is nice, except I have a friend who got roofied at the Replay.

Step 1. Implement lovely regressive policies that lead to more inequality
Step 2. Win more votes because inequality leads to Republicans winning
Step 3. ???

mental health in this country is absolutely abysmal. poor and indigent people with mental illness are essentially doomed.

GOP's really cashing in on that. My dad self-medicates with the right-wing outrage machine as much as he does with $15,000/year of cigarettes and whiskey. He just drinks amd chain smokes in front of Fox News all day while poking around right wing internet sites.

So basically I'm not getting any inheritance because psychologists are for pussies or something.

Thanks, Reagan!

When your most realistic goal is losing the next 4 elections because after that you'll have enough of a voting base to have a real shot at the 5th, it's understandable that no one wants to burn the time and money it would take to even try.

At the same time, to the electorate it's more important to say 'No!' to the party of atheists and abortions than it is to have the toilets keep flushing and have someone there to answer when you call 911.

That's just it though; if the Democrats were the party of atheists and abortions they would give people a reason to vote for them.

Currently in a lot of red states the Democratic Party is the party of Republican economic policies plus token support for some social issues, when it is politically expedient.

And in my experience there are almost certainly progressive candidates that are willing to try to get the message out and run; they just don't have a party apparatus that is friendly to them.

This is what happens when the "no LF poo poo allowed" rule is silently agreed on by both political parties.

The lack of a real solid moral grounding and Marxist analysis critiquing capitalism will make the democrats nothing more than the gay friendly party ineffectual social pandering with plutocratic economics while republicans are the xenophobic Bible Belt party with plutocratic economics


democrats are worthless and in the long run are just giving republicans more reactionary fuel to push the country further to the right

I certainly hope everyone in this thread has read or watched "What's the Matter with Kansas?" by Thomas Frank

The classist, condescending, anti-religious attitude by bougie liberals has been their undoing.
