You have still not told me what is so insufferable about Warren.  

I don't think she's insufferable. I think she's got quite a charming personality in a chiding school teacher sort of way. She just doesn't connect for people in an intuitive way (unlike Obama or Ann Richards, for example) and seems unable to read a room, both literally and figuratively.

She’s too practical in her solutions and doesn’t appeal to the dumb rubes?

Eh, I used to be a big fan of Warren until she got very interested in things i knew a lot about. I would not call her proposed solutions unviersally practical. I mean, some are. But quite a few are abjectly nonsensical.

What do you expect her to do? She’s a private citizen.

She has a huge bullhorn still. Use it. Tell people how they are being played by a conman. I don’t know. She has more power than me yelling into the void on a Longhorn message board.

Okay, she can use her bullhorn. Isn't that what she's doing with that Tweet?

I’m mocking you, Mr. Super Tough Bad Ass, for boasting that you go to the Veterans of Foreign Wars hall in your anti-capitalist t-shirts and because you are such a super tough bad ass none of “those pussies” (Veterans of Foreign Wars) ever say anything to you about your anti-capitalist t-shirts.

It’s abundantly clear to anyone with an IQ above a slug.

She ran for President of the Unites States and asked for our vote, no?

Not sure what more you could ask of her.

Again, that isn't what I said. You are stupid as fuck.

You guys think about some weird shit (which obviously works with a fairly decent chunk of the electorate, btw). I can honestly say that "masculinity" isn't something I ever think about*, probably because I can make my wife cum without blue pills or testosterone shots. 

 

The word conjures up images of Ricky Gervais on a tinpot radio station in 2002 telling Karl Pilkington, "Ohhh you’re hard" in his best early 2000's style gay impersonation.

 

 

*Well excluding grad school where the term was often used as a way to understand gender identity as we moved from a farming-based culture to a clerk-based culture and men had to find a new identity outside of their work with new, larger, amounts of free time. Hence the rise of sports and outdoors in the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era.

Saw this yesterday and thought it was strange (the "masculinity" part):

I'm very much for the pre 1970s "talking filibuster" with a 2/3 vote for cloture, not this slient filibuster shit. 

No.

Get rid of it. It's anti-democratic and it allows cowardly lawmakers to hide behind the rules. Flush them out. Make them cast difficult votes.

Same, I’m certainly eager to hand the GOP more power but it’s preferable to this canard that it somehow protects minority rights from getting trampled.  
 

And it’s going to be worse going forward with successive administrations realizing how best to abuse the powers of the office.

Exactly.  The filibuster is a farce.  The majority has repeatedly made exemptions whenever they really really want a law passed or a nominee confirmed.  It is a shield, that is it.  The only reason the pubs have not made an exception for it in this case is cause they think they can do what they want regardless and score some political points in the process.  Furthermore, they know the dems are such pussies and rule followers that they will let them override their entire agenda if they ever return to power with this stupid rule.   It is a way for the majority to NOT do something, and still get to blame the opposition.  So get rid of it.  It changes nothing except provides an excuse to blame the powerless for the consequences.

It's almost like this is a forum of dozens of different people who have dozens of different viewpoints. Finding some that don't fit together isn't a gotcha, it's to be expected.

Unless you're someone who foolishly believes the forum is a single-minded behemoth against which you are pathologically obsessed with having painted yourself as a noble warrior fighting a glorious battle. Only then could someone be simple enough to be surprised that different people have different opinions.

But that wouldn't be you, right? 

Fucking rekked. No notes.

I'm not a fan of our company doing work with this administration, but I also didn't complain when they did business with the previous administrations.

Yeah, your company is volunteering for Trump, not doing business with him.

50 years of lawsuits out front shoulda told 'em.

Small correction in case someone read my post and immediately signed me up again for the Travis County Don Huffines Appreciation Society.

He’s a bit less stingy with other peoples’ (our) money so they might get paid. He will of course continue to claim he paid with his money.

Kinda of a weird take in the context of an exchange between two individuals posters, but you do you Huck. Dynamite drop in again, as usual.

I’ve witnessed Warren enchant entire rooms of people, in person.  Reading a room is not a weakness. But she’s also not going to start catering to the lowest common denominator. So if appealing to the grouchy toddlers that are the American voting public is the standard, yeah she’s probably not going to get a room full of them chanting inane shit.

And I think that's @Bozo_Casanova's point--you can disregard the grouchy toddlers all you want, but that's not how you win elections outside of the friendly Massachusetts electorate.  

You think Newsom's twitter team is trying to reach college grads?  That's pure trolling for the terminally online internet Gen Z boys.  

I appreciate Warren really trying to bring banks to heel, but the Democrats reliance on policy solutions to all problems is partially what led us here..

No, I said "she’s one of the most toxic and inept politicians I’ve ever seen."  Hillary Clinton is the most toxic and inept. But Warren is cancerous, because since she is positioned as a leader in the Democratic party, even though her bad habits and poor instincts matasticize into other parts of the party and cost votes. 
 

More toxic to America? Of course. More toxic politically to their own party? The only one who comes close is Ted Cruz, who I compared Warren to. She's as damaging to her party's brand as he is to the GOP. 

No, We need more people like her serving as appointees, which is why I said "She should have stayed in the appointee lane like Samantha Power." Usually the best appointees make for middling to bad candidates/elected officials.  What you are asking for is a "cultural shift" away from elections being what they have always been, in all places at all times: popularity contests. Democrats need to accept reality and treat them that way, not attempt cultural shift through tone deafness.
 


No, we need serious people who can win elections.  

matasticize?

Oof.

Uphauling and meadoker.

HED: Education Department employees surprised to find their email automatically changed to blame Democrats for shutdown

SUBHED: Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.
