LOL when 10% turnout gives you anxiety then you are a shitty candidate. A shitty Dotard-endorsed candidate, which is delicious.

Thought Buchannan was offsides there, but that was slick.

Yes, because nobody should have to register for the draft.
The more people who have their skin in the game, the less popular and therefore less likely it comes to pass.

Woah. Joe Biden saying something off the cuff? Must be dementia.
He has always been like that. One major knock against him his entire political career is that he is a "gaffe machine".
Here's a throwback from 2008 (aged 65).

Why won’t the media ask McCarthy why he gave up subpoena and veto power in a proposed external investigation in favor of a Select Committee composition that puts him and his party at a distinct disadvantage?

Two main reasons:
1) To relieve himself of responsibility
2) So he or whomever on the Right can claim it's all a partisan witch hunt
Before you reply that all that doesn't make any sense, consider that right wing media has already scrubbed the first vote from memory.

In seventh grade in Uvalde, Texas, I was specifically taught that the Civil War was not about slavery. This was 1989.

I was taught it was about state’s rights in the 2000’s in suburban DFW.

Shout out to Mrs. Underwood, apparently you were just a racist old hag!
I had a rather opinionated teacher of AP US history in 11th grade argue strongly it was about the States' right to secede. This was in San Diego, California in the mid 90's.

On 6/28/2021 at 5:23 PM, aggie08 said:I pointed out something similar on one of the gun/active shooter threads a while back. A sizeable number of people that own a shit ton of guns think that a presidential election was stolen from Their President, the current sitting President is a pawn for China and his radical left puppet masters, anybody who speaks out against the liberal agenda is cancelled by mainstream and social media, and their brave brothers in arms on Jan 6 are being incarcerated for daring to try to stop the the insertion of a tyrannical government. If you truly believe those things to be true, what could be a bigger call to action?? Yet, all we have is more faux outrage and internet diatribes.
So, they're either A) Gigantic gaping pussies, or B) Have a nagging sensation in their brains that this is all just performance art, and their anger is being manipulated, so best to just observe and yell from the sidelines.
Truthfully, I think Jan 6 had a quelling effect on all future protests and demonstrations. Finally some finding out after 5 years of fucking around. As long as their internet works and Applebees is open, they're not going to put themselves in position to be identified as extremists by their employers/Johnny Law.
The fact is that when it comes to protests, marches, and other acts of (peaceful) civil disobedience, the Right has nothing on the Left.
Maybe a few thousand were in DC on 1/6 and several hundred stormed the Capitol. That isn't many, as you point out, considering many actually believed their country was being taken from them.
Contrast that with the MILLIONS who marched worldwide within one day of Cheeto taking office, with half a million in DC alone. Then consider the millions who took to the streets for weeks following George Floyd's killing.
If the Republicans try to steal an election, I hope they find out.

Loudoun Country went for Biden by 24 points. I'm sure they have their bigots, and they might be loud, but they are not the majority.

Relax. I agree with you. I’m just not as pessimistic about the Dems fortunes as you are.
I hope you're right. Fact is that the most politically sensible time to push for reform was today and both Sinema and Manchin have let the moment pass them by. That's a bad sign.
I took issue with the fact that you seemed to think this will resolve itself somehow in the backrooms or on the floor of the Senate. I feel that is now a lost cause. I still hold out some hope for Biden intervening, but I think it's now up to people like us to deal with this, somehow...

Those votes won’t be useless, chiefly because they undercut Manchin’s and Sinema’s rationale for torpedoing Biden’s agenda.
Come on. First it was the 1/06 commission, then it was S1. What other bills that need 60 votes do the Republicans need to block in order for these two finally come around? What is left?
It's cute that you still think their plea for bipartisanship isn't anything other than straight up corruption. They are against filibuster reform because their donors are against it. This is all about money. This isn't theater, as the climax has already passed.
They need to be made to realize that their donors are not enough to get them re-elected. The people need to make that case.

Good. I thought you were happy just watch Schumer call for useless votes.

So, now it’s on like neck bones. Schumer just needs to keep calling for votes and getting Russicans on the record.
Fuck that. Republicans don't seem afraid of obstructing.
We need to find a way to make Democrats afraid of letting them.

To win statewide, the Dems really need to shore up South Texas and not let this happen again. GOTV, goddammit.

Follow. The. Money. Seriously, everyone hates money in politics but people mistakenly think they have no means to stop it.
Call out Manchin's ties to the Koch network. Call out Sinema's meeting with big donors where she gloated about killing $15 minimum wage.
You might find it hypocritical for Biden to call out money in politics, but I think the fact that he just raised a record BILLION DOLLARS gives him the biggest megaphone in which to do it. "Look. I raised more money than everyone else. I've been raising money for 40 years and let me tell you, folks. It can be a good thing or a bad thing. I want to get bridges built. These other guys are paid to make sure that won't happen."
As far as the rest of us go, boycotts and protest are both great ideas. There should be billboards in downtown Phoenix ripping Sinema. Investigate the Manchin family's multiple conflicts of interest. You find corporate donors and organize boycotts against those donors. Even if it is a small fraction who participate, it's the negative publicity that does the most damage.
Some of us forget the spine that Democrats suddenly grew in early 2017 once they found out what the base thought of their initial efforts to work with Trump. It's easy to forget because it didn't last long.

What exactly does this guy have for Texas Republicans to want to vote for him over Paxton? A Trump endorsement? Maybe, but it's not like Paxton is a never Trumper. Is it not being under indictment? GOP voters clearly don't give a shit about that.
This seems like when that young Kennedy challenged Markey for his Massachusetts senate seat last year.

I hope she wins, but won’t hold my breath. What do you think the over / under on donations surly posters send to her campaign in a futile cause will be?
This race will be within 5 points just like they always are in FL. Donations won't be futile.

I could use an explanation on why CONCACAF hosts the Nations League and Gold Cup only a couple months apart. Seems like the same teams play in both.
