Now there’s absolutely no reason for the Right Wing money laundering operation known as “Emily’s List” to exist.

Their entire business plan was electing “pro-choice” Republican women to office as “Democrats” without giving 1/666th of a shit what their positions were on any other issue.

Now that they can’t even support the one i…

The Rolling Stones, just so many formerly cool bands, are now lame.

Nobody gives a shit about the music being used on a political campaign.

With the exception of his son, Rob.

Joe Biden is not a supporter of progressive. He is an obstacle. Placing faith in Joe is like knowingly putting money in a pocket with a hole in it.

Just for the laughs.

U.S. presidents get unseated because of a catalyst—and, if it turns out Trump gets unseated in 2020, it won’t be because the opposition party convinced enough people Trump is a bad man; it is because the coronavirus pandemic, here in the United States, struck on the watch of Trump.

Trump, to get unseated and relate him to a previous 20t…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian,

I don’t see it as an argument.

I recognize it is a discussion.

“[The State of Minnesota has] gone for the Democratic [presidential] candidate in every election in my 6 decades of life,”

The last Republican to carry Minnesota was 1972 re-elected Richard Nixon, against Democratic challenger George McGovern, as he won a 1972 Republican pickup of Minnesota with winning his second term…[Read more]

“@colorsoftherainbow You sound so certain. I don’t think that certainty is justified at all.”

Since 1860, every U.S. president has been affiliated with either the Republican or the Democratic Party.

A total of 156 years.

A period of 40 consecutive election cycles.

I am certain, without being cocky, that the winner of th…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian,

In United States presidential election cycles which switch the party, the out party coming into that given election will carry everything that was in their column from the previous cycle while they win a party pickup of the presidency of the United States.

It’s about direction.

If the opposition party is winning a pickup of t…[Read more]

How is that job in Hillary Clinton’s presidential administration working out for Paul Krugman?

@jwirr writes,

“Democrats have assumed that the POC and poor have no place else to go when it comes to voting. What they do not understand is that after years of getting nothing back for our vote and the disappearance of much of the safety net and the threat of taking social security away from us they have nothing to offer us this time.”

You mad…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian,

Admittedly, this is not a topic I think about too much. I don’t care one bit whether at all either major political party has an in-person presidential convention. In fact, I am guessing, right now, they won’t happen.

By the way: North Carolina, in 2016, was the Republicans’ No. 25 and the Democrats’ No. 26 best-performed state (…[Read more]

The Democrats should bless this.

Any amount of those attending can catch—and maybe even die from—COVID–19 and can further help to move the state’s votes in the direction of Team Blue.

I live in Michigan.

Over the weekend, I received a letter soliciting for donation by the state’s junior U.S. senator Gary Peters.

I have never donated to him.

I live in the congressional district represented by Debbie Dingell. I figure it is mainly the reason I received that mailing.

It is nice to be made aware of something.

I don’t want to use the coronavirus pandemic to wish it on people, like Neera Tanden, who are evil.

I wish this doesn’t exist.

At the same time: I don’t feel sympathy.

I am not going to play this video.

This is what was probably a part of the contract with the DNC to run for president of the United States.

Bernie Sanders, and all others who seeked the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, may be obligated; but, I am not.

At this point, this has become reduced to a joke.

@jimlane writes,

The takeaway: A lot can happen between now and November. I don’t think either candidate [Republican incumbent Donald Trump or presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden] is going to get 400 electoral votes, as some of the most partisan zealots (on each side) like to predict. If anyone reaches 400, it’s more likely to be Biden, base…
