You guys know that Brock Adams retired after being accused of rape and that eight or nine women accused him of drugging and then molesting them, right?

To be fair, it's a tough choice between the rapist and the warmonger.

Not sure why that belongs here, considering the war that Jackson so adamantly supported resulted in countless rapes and deaths overseas, but whatever.

Brock Adams drugged and raped multiple women, but whatever.

Frankly the DNC did the right thing all along, they just should have done a better job of containing Sanders. We as the hated establishment are the adults in the party, and we're in charge. We must tune out the base for the same reason that football coaches don't listen to what the fans in the stadium think.

I don't get why Wolverine is an establishment lover. I don't think the Democratic establishment hates transgender people enough for him to be satisfied.

The story says that post-convention, Clinton actually gained among white college grads, while Trump made big gains among white non-college grads:

You must be logged in to read this quote.


Maybe non-college white people were watching the Roman circus spectacle, and others were watching something else.

The question: will the non-college whites vote heavily in November?

College-educated whites vote, and they are more likely to change the minds of white people with no college degree to not vote for Trump than non-college-educated people are likely to convince college-educated whites to vote for Trump. College-educated people are generally much more capable of persuading people than are those who did not attend college.

I dont think Ronald Reagan would have won. Goldwater GOPers like Nixon or Reagan were pro captalism, anti big govt. 3 terms of Nixon & Ford would have been enough. Case for Ted Kennedy would have been made.

Nixon was almost nothing like Goldwater. Nixon was far more moderate and liberal. He would be to liberal for the GOP of our day.

What about our white Christian friends?

Spanish Inquisition, Holocaust, Crusades, Oklahoma City

Holocaust wasn't done in the name of Christianity. I'm not sure what role Christianity had in OKC either.

It was perpetrated by Christians. According to your statistics, that's enough. I'll also mention the destruction of Native American civilizations and the KKK.

You're moving the goalposts. It was not done in the name of Christianity, it was done by those who despised Christianity.

The KKK. Ok. That counts. I'm pretty sure 9/11 alone more than triples all the people the KKK killed.

Native Americans were overwhelmed by a superior civilization. What can I say...

Actually that Libertarian Socialist post is also f[inks]ing retarded because of the Holocaust and Oklahoma City mentions. You should never let dirks be the voice of reason.

You missed the last line, as if the rather questionable KKK interpretation wasn't clue enough

Someone getting facts wrong vs. Someone defending genocide

Yep, dirk is clearly the voice of reason here.

So, if a man impregnates a woman as a result of consensual sex and she becomes, say, permanently disabled as a result of this pregnancy and/or as a result of the subsequent childbirth, should this man be forced to pay financial compensation to this woman? Completely serious question, for the record.

Christ...

I am so proud that I played any role in making this man President. Thank you.

Broken men are delivered from their bondage to sin.
The hardest hearts break in surrender, and heaven conquers once again.

So I lay down my life for the world to see
that there was only one who could break the chains that bound me.

Call me a fool for this stand, but I would die for that man. My King is alive! My King is alive!
Call me a fool for this stand, but I would die for that man. My King is alive! My King is alive!
And he is worthy of everything.

I know I’m not the only one who felt the hands of death.
But I have found the only one who can restore this life.
I... I am convinced he can save us, because we were once in need of a savior.

So, in this moment I declare, for the lost and the hopeless:

Deliverer, deliver us. Deliverer, deliver us.
Deliverer, deliver us. Deliverer, deliver us.
Deliverer, deliver us. Deliverer, deliver us. Auh....

Here I stand, unashamed.

Call me a fool for this stand, but I would die for that man. My King is alive! My King is alive!
Call me a fool for this stand, but I would die for that man. My King is alive! My King is alive!

And I will hold fast to the profession of my hope, because he who promised is faithful.
Time and time again, in my weakness, he’s been strong for me.
I’ve not just heard about him, I’ve heard him.
I’ve not just seen evidence of him, I’ve seen him.
He’s alive, and he’s changed America once and for all.

There's a hell of a lot of assumptions about how I think in this post (the quoted bit from me isn't an excerpt, it's the entire post FYI), not to mention lots and lots of straw:

Like what on Earth does an agnostic blowing up a federal building because of an extreme anti-government ideology have to do with Christianity?

A heck of a lot more than Islamic homophobia has to do with a repressed homosexual killing 49 people at a Florida gay club, but that didn't stop exponentially more people on this forum from connecting the two.

And Christian extremists are more often than not the ones fanning the flames of antigovernment ideology.

It's kind of bizarre that of all the ugly and disgusting things that happened in the wake of Oklahoma city "poor persecuted Christians" is the main point you took away from that.  I seem to recall brown people and other religions being hunted down like dogs until it was revealed our friendly neighborhood bomber was a white guy.  Then all of a sudden it wasn't about the color of your skin, nor your culture's dominant religion nor where your parents came from.  All of a sudden it was just about an individual.  An exception to the rule.

Brown lives matter, man.

This thing where when a white guy does something there are all kinds of excuses but when a brown or black person does something or when a Muslim person does something an entire race or religion is condemned needs to stop.  The extremist Christian culture in this country is responsible for a lot of terrible things.  And I say that as a Christian.

Thirty years from now, what do yo think the Democratic Party will look like? Frankly based on the demographics right now and the racial alignment we're seeing before our very eyes, I get the feeling that the only white males left in the Democratic Party when I'm 51 years old will be gay or some other sort of minority.

I get the feeling that the RNC will continue to look like a Klan rally every election, but the DNC will more closely resemble a Black Lives Matter protest. If politics continues down the path of complete racialization, the next few decades scare me.

Context in link
Best case: Trump "Makes America Great Again," defeats ISIS, thwarts future terrorist attacks, balances the budget and sells off assets to pay down the debt, wins 2020 in a Reagan/Mondale landslide. Hillary! goes to jail.

Median Scenario: Trump "Makes America Great Again," defeats ISIS, thwarts future terrorist attacks, balances the budget and sells off assets to pay down the debt, wins 2020 in a Reagan/Mondale landslide.

Worst Case: Trump "Makes America Great Again," defeats ISIS, thwarts future terrorist attacks, brings deficit spending under control, wins 2020 with a Bush/Kerry margin.

Some fairly good news for Hillary in Pennsylvania, certainly. I don't think Stein is as much as a threat unless she manages to snag a big Bernie surrogate (like Nina Turner, basically) on the ticket, and even then, she's looking at 0.87% instead of 0.47%.

if she make a good campaign.(Bernie or Bust and Philly Liberals) She can hit 10% in Philadelphia.
(Then already 65000 votes. which are 1.14% of Entire PA)
