D should be shooting for 8pt wins and just forgetting CA

Take out CA and tD beat hilly 47.4% to 46.3%

Heck, pull out R lost causes NY and IL and tD wins 48.3% to 44.6%

Also remove those 3 states and turnout falls from 55.7% to 52.7%. Be afraid to motivator the whitey who didn’t vote!

......all these D voters and R has won 3 of last 5 presidential.

Is that the one where we relocate their best-looking women to the cities for "reeducation" and then leave Flyover America to the angry white dudes shooting at each other?

Nah, we have more than enough good looking girls in the Free States, and they have their original teeth.

My proposal was we have annual sweeps through the Slaves States looking for mutant smart kids to rescue them. I don't anticipate this would be more than a few dozen per year, genetics being what it is.

That's a very small margin against a very unlikable candidate that caused Dem voters in droves to stay home and didn't even bother trying to win what ended up being 3 key states. Add in the results from November and the fact Trump is losing ground outside of uneducated white males and you have mooking reevaluating his last post. :D

Yeah but I believe the place he is going is not socialized it is private.
 
Re: 116th Congress: Episode 1 - Trial by Fire

Ifs just ironic that’s he’s railed on how bad the entire system is and now he’s going there for a specialized surgery

Comparing a Democratic candidate's policies (or those of Bernie) to those of candidates in countries more liberal than the US is not going to help a Democratic candidate's chances of winning office in the USA.

Yeah but you're kinda missing the point, these aren't radical policies globally in other first world counties and they're incredibly moderate even here. The vast majority of people want medicare for all, a $15 min wage, affordable college, more power as a worker, non-stagnant wages, and the various other things that Bernie and other progressives advocate for. All of these things poll really well here.

Until I see the polling numbers, I think you're assuming too much on the positions of the American people.

Well here's medicare for all
https://thehill.com/policy/healthca...percent-of-americans-support-medicare-for-all

As for some other agendas, this is from data for progress:
We find that the punditry has vastly underestimated the potential of an unabashedly left progressive agenda. Four issues stood out in our polling as issues that have strong and durable support. Creating generic versions of life-saving drugs has a whopping net 30 percent support among eligible voters (51 percent support, 21 percent oppose). A public option for internet, a proposal that Abdul El-Sayed has campaign on in Michigan, has net 39 percent support (56 percent support, 16 percent oppose).

A job guarantee, which is supported by Senators Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker and Bernie Sanders is quite popular, with 55 percent of eligible voters in support and only 23 percent opposed. As we’ve discussed in The Nation before, there is strong evidence that even with a partisan framing and pay-for, the policy remains popular. We modeled our question off of the proposal made by economists Sandy Darity, Darrick Hamilton and Mark Paul, which centers community job creation. In addition, We also find that ending cash bail has a net positive support of 21 points (45 percent in support and 24 percent opposed). Senators Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders have both unveiled legislation that would end cash bail, which leads hundreds of thousands of people to be locked out despite never being convicted of a crime.

I get that but it is total clickbait. The headline makes it sound like he is going to Canada because their system is better (despite hating it) which isnt the case. That particular clinic is just the best at that issue which has zero to do with it being in Canada or Canada having said system.

I guess I just disagree. Don’t disparage an entire system then run there for a surgery. Oh well.
 
Re: 116th Congress: Episode 1 - Trial by Fire

They're also in the minority, which is probably why they suddenly found their spine on this
