I'm glad they included the "US Capitol" sign or I would never have figured it out.

Rynn posted:I disagree, remember this will be a non incumbent Presidential election season. Whether it's Hillary or Bernie, you're going to see higher turnout especially among Democratic voters and there is a pretty good chance the Dems could sweep the house. There is zero chance of this happening short of Trump being the nominee and being actually worse than expected. Democrats need to win nationally by like 8 points to take the House, which is nigh-impossible.

Boon posted:That's low, you're right. However it's probably not insanely stilted like you'd think. 2012 was effectively only a Republican primary though. It may not break 13%, but it'll be a lot closer to that than to 7%.

Pro-tip: when instead of just saying "possibly an outlier" and instead trying to argue the difference between 7-9% in a cross-tab, you're being silly. Also they're loving caucuses. Not primaries, and they are whole other beasts.

Dr. Arbitrary posted:Most people don't know who Lessig is, but among those that do, he's not popular: It's kind of sad because he actually has some of the best ideas for addressing the corrupting influence of money in politics than anyone else running, and it'd be a tragedy his ideas weren't heard because of people's resistance to him. Then again he brought this on himself.

is there a conspiracy theory based on the idea trump is in cahoots with the clintons? like, they have a deal in place that if trump gets the nomination, he'll drop out a week prior to the election, thereby giving dems a chance to take the house and senate in a landslide when all the r voters stay home? that would rule so hard.

Democrats need to win nationally by like 8 points to take the House, which is nigh-impossible. And 8 points is the average. It's entirely possible for a turncoats-based 8 point advantage to not translate to a house majority, if the turnout is centered on areas where democrats are already strong.

I'm glad we're going to take the first generation in American history to have a worse livelihood than their parents and ensure that SS and Medicare are fully gutted for them. The only thing better than that is that I have to keep paying for Boomer's current benefits while knowing I won't ever receive them myself. I'm sorry, but it makes me want to go on a loving murderous rampage when I hear that Boomers, who didn't save for retirement despite being the most prosperous middle class in the history of Earth, get to keep all their poo poo while I have to make do saving everything I need for retirement - at an unretirable rate of return of 3-4%. Who can I vote for to stick it to Boomers as hard and as fast as possible, regardless of its effect on me?

I was homeschooled with cult-ish fundie textbooks, so my sex ed consisted of my mom pushing a book called "You're almost 12" or some poo poo at me, blushing and leaving the room. Thank literal gently caress for the internet.

Gravel Gravy posted:Between that and the Hillary Clinton op ed yesterday I think I'll go back to reading USA Today myself. If NYT were to be judged by its opinion columns it would not be a very good paper, but still better than most. Dowd is so well-known for hating Hillary that all the top comments are calling her out for being nonsensical and tiresome. That and Dowd loves armchair psychiatry as an explanation of all government.

Not all Boomers are the same. My parents are pretty cool. You'd be loving over non-lovely old people too. You'd also be loving over other people just like you down the road just to spite a caricature/stereotype in your head. Vote for Sanders or whoever is the most progressive. The worst thing you can do to conservative boomers is to turn this country socialist as gently caress or as close to it as you can. Not to spite them financially but to make their ideology as irrelevant as possible.
