Yes, I do like that I knew how to read polls instead of being defeatist and spend large amounts of time sulking on the boards and making bad predictions to nab a few upvotes as others did, not to mention the ones telling me how close 2012 was going to be. And I'm considering bringing it up twice as much as I was seriously bringing it up now to tell you that people gave the same silly, defeatist talk you're giving, and that is what is actually useless; they were told the same, health care protesters were told the same, gun control protesters were told the same. Activists don't just resign themselves to what will "probably" happen, and if it happens, then at least they tried to fight against it. They fortunately don't take cues from this board. To the last part, that's kind of a no shit. I mentioned that to you from the get-go. Yet a blue wave has ramifications for future judicial nominations, redistricting and state-wide progressive initiatives and laws, so this doesn't change the calculus and what progressives should be doing this year.

The reviews prepared me quite well that it didn't start with some Poseidon battle from the get-go.

It's not if I say so; it just is. I'm just glad this board wasn't in charge of being the opposition in the past year, because I'm pretty sure everybody who voted in Alabama, everybody who protested after Parkland, and everybody who protested in the reddest of districts during the health care debates last year were told the same thing. "Good luck with that." Damn right, and our Republican Senate candidate, Rick Scott.

Better than posting on d1p and saying, "Well shit."

I know. It's not like when Mitch decided to hold it off since he was leader. However, I think the argument works in an election year. It'd be nice to get a retiring GOP Senator to vote no since McCain can't even show up, giving Republicans a 50-49 Senate currently. I have a feeling someone gets confirmed this year, but I'll do what I can via organized calls and public pressure with others who want this on hold.

Schumer, Warren, Durbin and Merkley have all called for this to happen after the election. They're pulling that card.

I love how, to make it seem legit, this person with a little over 700 followers made themselves a "political analyst".

"Nope." That first word. That goes into another conversation: the NRA is no longer a group feigning bi-partisanship by endorsing anti-gun control Democrats (to which they didn't endorse many even a decade ago). They're simply a right-wing organization, to which we saw at CPAC where LaPierre's speech talked about tons of issues unrelated to guns. And yet due to that, it's become easy for Democrats to run not just for gun control but against the NRa.

I DID forget about that!!!

I like the level in which Massdriver gives a diverging economical opinion. People like jigs/heyyou could never do that, which is why I've always appreciated him. Question about the bold: are you suggesting she's to the left of your average politician in Nordic countries or other European nations? I haven't seen that yet. I think that's what he means, though. His opinion is that this is actual Marxism, not the "socialism" Obama was accused of.

Seriously, though, I totally get that argument, but if he actually lost his spine to defend his daughter, that would mark a new low for me since he's not running for office.

You think Papa Huckabee is so weak he'd defend Trump if he did that?

I'd seriously buy Minecraft with the sole purpose of hooking up with my brother and his sons. I've no need for an Xbox, but I'd buy some extra games just to jam with them.

"Standing on principle" was the argument Fox and right-wingers in general was using, which is why I'm comparing them. This isn't something I'm changing my mind on but also isn't something I want to derail the thread about, so let's all accept that and move on.

I think they're similar enough, along with the wedding cake for the gay couple, that it fits right into IOIYAR. And I'll likely stand by that until death.

But that's what I said: "a bakery declined to have Biden visit." I'm aware of the situation. It doesn't look like Sanders gave the Red Hen warning, so they didn't get a chance to decline her (and something tells me she would have). Between this and the cake for a gay couple, we once again fall back to IOIYAR.

Agreed.

I know women in their early 40s who are very attractive. 37 seems fine? I didn't know she even had surgery done.

I don't even remember this, but in 2012, Republicans were very happy that a bakery declined to have Biden visit:
