About the Supreme Court, the Democrats simply have to hang on until a midterm victory in 2018, correct? They'll fold on Scalia's replacement, but Ginsburg can live another 2 years, can't she?

I wish we had seen Margaret Thatcher-style Hillary and seen her get up and have a frank discussion about how much she loathes the GOP and is going to personally destroy their party once and for all.

I mean, yea I get it. It's just something I want you to keep in mind when the dust begins to settle is that this is C-SPAM. So once all the racism concern trolling and gbs and d&d leave after they finish their round of gloating etc and there are no more electionchat.

The difference here that I'm letting you know is to not post like D&D about it, otherwise you might as well just post in D&D imo and we wouldn't really need C-SPAM.

Keep it casual friend.

and definitely don't whine about primaries, it's november freakin 10th~ (I even voted for Bernie)

Do complain about the DNC though, thats on them~

Better yet, make fun of them. :cheers:

the dnc is a committee that consists of the things i outlined in this post: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3797403&userid=50373#post466337725

some of the people make sense like the state democratic party chairperson and vice chairperson (if there are multiple vice chairpeople i've been goin with the one labeled 1st) but some of it random stuff like the National Democratic Municipal Officials Conference. lots of people i haven't been able to find contact info for. and 200 additional members that apprently hold no other office besides DNC member, which i have no idea how to find who or what their contact info is.


thank you, i'm almost done anyway, might as well unleash it on bernie groups and put the fear of god in them if they suddenly decided to grow a spine

Ok thanks, yeah I am confused as to whom I email. I know Donna Brazille is technically in charge but she got yelled at by staffers today so she probably is hiding under a desk in the SITUATION ROOM next to Wolf Blitzer.

if you have a D senator/congressman/gov email their office

also google your city/state's democratic offices, for instance in illinois there's both a chicago chapter and an illinois one and their websites almost always have contact info

Yeah Booker should not be surprising. As a last dying gasp of the neoliberal wing he's pretty much perfect - all of Hillary's love of capital, but with something resembling charisma.

All the things people have said for years about the Republican Party have come true about the Democrats: their party is just in it for the money, they don't care about electing people, they don't represent any voter interest, they're going to eventually die out.

All 100% completely true about the Democratic Party.

A lot of the Federalists did not want a universal militia precisely for that picture shown. Guys like Washington were quoted during the Constitutional debates basically saying militias were garbage in battle and they should never be relied upon for anything except putting down riots. The War of 1812 backed up their claims.

Bernie Sanders sits down with Spike Lee.

quote:

SL It was not Hillary Clinton’s birthright to be president of the United States of America! And Trump, he played it like he was going to keep going at this until the whistle blows, until time has run out.

BS Right. You’re right. Now, no one can deny that Trump was holding three or four rallies a day, he was running all over this country, working 20 hours a day. And that’s the truth. But I think that speaks to, Spike, something that goes beyond Hillary Clinton. It really goes to the very nature of the Democratic party.

SL The DNC!

BS That’s right. And it calls for the transformation of the Democratic party, and making it clear it’s going to be a party that brings together blacks and whites and Latinos and women and gays, and everyone else. But it’s also going to be a party…

SL Would you say that it’s a shambles, now, Senator – the DNC?

BS Yes. Yes. And I am supporting…

SL There’s a whole lot of finger-pointing going on.

BS Yes. I think we need a house-cleaning. I think the DNC needs an entirely new direction. I think it needs leadership, and I think it needs to be very clear about the fact that it stands with working families and is prepared to take on the billionaire class and Wall Street, and corporate America, and the drug companies and the insurance companies. People are hurting. And we need a programme that stands with working families and brings people together.

SL Were you ever offered the VP position, sir?

BS No. Absolutely not.

SL Would you have taken it?

BS Er. Probably, yes. But that’s again looking through the rear-view mirror.
