"Now, let’s take this line of thought to its conclusion. The DNC claims:

the charter authorizes them to pick a candidate in a proverbial cigar smoke-filled backroom.
“impartiality” is so vague a concept that DNC officials can, with impunity, take actions to favor whichever candidate they wish.
impartiality is a “political promise”, and we all know those are worth squat amiright?"

[Fiye]

They're trying too hard to act like the republican party lol.

I don't bet. I also think even a party as abhorrently incompetent as the democrats can make gains in 2018.

Take the house? Probably not. Even if the map wasn't gerrymandered to shit, relying on historical precedent -- midterms are a referendum on the president and the party in power -- relies on the usual trends; and there is nothing indicating right now that the usual trends are worth investing in.

It's still early yet, sure. Donald could really do something that absolutely destroys the nihilist part of his base like gutting net neutrality, in which the only democrat who could fuck up an advantage like that is Hillary. But considering how everyone right now is all "Donald keeps fucking things up" and "his approvals are historically low", the inability to turn that into gains right now should at least give some pause for consideration.

Or maybe I'm Chicken Little.

we shall see shortly enough, but i think the notion that because Democrats are failing to win seats they should not be winning they are a lost party is a rather immature view of the situation, one that pays too little attention to context and is overly fixated on wins and losses. i won't argue the Democratic losses are some strange species of victory, but these are non-competitive red seats. Republicans winning them says very little about anything.

i'd also note there is great danger in acting as though historical trends apply to all other times but not to the present one. while that is very occasionally true usually it is the result of individuals believing their time to be exceptional simply because it is the only one they are presently experiencing. Trump is somewhat anomalous but populist demagogues have long plagued the Republic, it's just been a while since one was opposed by candidates as weak as Clinton and Cruz.

And even then, the simple rubric of "the less liked candidate received fewer votes" held true.

Prominent Democratic Fundraisers Realign to Lobby for Trump's Agenda

Lobbying records show that some Democratic fundraisers, who raised record amounts of campaign cash for Clinton, are now retained by top telecom interests to help repeal the strong net neutrality protections established during the Obama administration.

Others are working on behalf of for-profit prisons on detention issues, while others still are paid to help corporate interests pushing alongside Trump to weaken financial regulations. At least one prominent Clinton backer is working for a health insurance company on a provision that was included in the House Republican bill to gut the Affordable Care Act.

While Republican lobbyists are more in demand, liberal lobbyists are doing brisk business that has them reaching out to fellow Democrats to endorse — or at least tamp down vocal opposition to — Trump agenda items.

lol destroy this fucking party

How could you possibly choose a winner from those

How could you possibly choose a winner from those

as hard as it was to resist, i had to persist. i think my favorite is "democrats 2018 'i mean have you seen the other guys?'" considering those "other guys" have kicked the shit out of these losers for almost a decade

The real reason America isn't more politically motivated =\ even our future president has to take a tolerance break from being WOKE
