Meanwhile GSTRING, unless the DNC gets its head out of its ass and attempts to understand the economic problems (yanno, the problems that you can't seem to figure out from a series of simple charts) driving their losses, they will continue to lose.
As far as you're concerned, it doesn't matter how stupid you are (or pretend to be) or the political "points" you think you're making, you also should come to grips with reality. Or not. Frankly, I don't really care if you continue choosing to be an idiot.

All those guns 1kiki, are pointed towards your beloved Russia. All those cyber capabilities, pointed right at Russia. Thanks Putin, and get ready to duck.
I'll accept your apology any time, THUGR. But I know you're not man enough to give me one

SGG - As a voter in the 6th , I think I'm a bit more up to speed on the election than others across the country, whose only interest in this is partisan.
Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen
I'm just a red pill guy in a room full of blue pill addicts.

GSTRING- I see you've reached the point of misdirected personal attacks, again. Which means you have nothing to say.

I personally would respond to a message that went something like this ....
1) Withdraw from all free trade agreements.
2) Implement a four-point plan* to deal with illegal immigration and illegal immigrants.
3) Stop intervening militarily abroad: Withdraw our troops from the EU, the Mideast, and Far East etc. giving our allies the chance to improve their own defensive capabilities.
4) Make corporate tax law, individual tax law, and capital gains tax the same; and eliminate the many tens of thousands of deductions, exemptions, depreciations, and reimbursements currently enjoyed by corporations and financial institutions not currently available to individuals.
5) Require broadcasters to carry candidate statements - free- starting one year before the first primaries in each state.
6) Reduce military spending, and use part of that money to fund a reinvigorated Civilian Conservation Corps and an Infrastructural corps. This would involve not only restoring our degraded environment but also responding to climate change and improving energy efficiency.
7) Create a true National Bank. Restore Glass-Steagall. Require increasing percentages of capitalization behind ALL loans, whether through a bank or private lender, until fractional reserve lending is eliminated.
8) Create a single payer health insurance; require healthcare providers to publicly post their fees; have the Federal government negotiate prices for pharma.
9) Disband most of the NSA, CIA, State Department, and other departments and institutions which serve a primarily "interventionist" agenda.
10) Require that all critical infrastructure (electricity, water supply, sanitation, traffic control, banking) and institutions which maintain privacy-related information (hospitals, commercial servers) be hardened against cyber attack. Have the revamped security institutions conduct mock cyber attacks and work with the institutions and entities to plug their security holes.
11) Eliminate "corporate personhood". (In fact, I would seriously consider revamping corporate law completely.) and re-state the role of the SEC not to just outlaw monopolistic BEHAVIOR but to outlaw monopolies altogether.
12) Require that all applications be "blinded" ... i.e. ranked, at least as a first cut, without reference to a person's age, sex, and even name. Tenasha Dwan McLanister would have the same chance as Adam Smith.
I'm sure I can think of a lot more things to vote for! But ANY ONE of those in a Dem candidate's platform would be a welcome change! But the Dems lack balls, and they keep lying to us about who they really represent.

Quote:I know you have a hard time believing this, SGG, but whites and republicans are victims, too. And catering to specific splinter groups of victims, while ignoring other victims, and ignoring the overall economic problem generally - is neither fair, nor moral, nor a path to victory.
Yes, you are right. Dems should be ashamed of themselves pulling for victims across the nation and ignoring the poor white folks, both Dems and Repubs alike.
Are you so addicted to your grudges you wouldn't accept genuine fairness if it was offered to everybody - even whites, even republicans?
I personally would give up everything I have if it would guarantee a fair world, which, by definition, means for everyone.

I've recently read an opinion article, which made me stop and reorient my thinking. Apparently, I'm an 'issues' voter, unlike many Americans.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/27/opinions/democrats-need-to-fix-westen-op
inion/index.html
the intro to the topic:
Quote:Next follows the premise, which, let me repeat, is not the kind of thing i think about. It's advertising, not issues.
The good news is that (in Ossoff) Democrats now have a case study for 2018 on how to lose an election with virtually unlimited funds, in the most expensive race in Congressional history.
The bad news is that they didn't get the message from 2016: that if you don't have a likable candidate who connects with people, with a message that jumps out at you, you're going to lose.
Quote:And then comes the data, according to the author.
That the campaign did nothing to create a connection between the candidate and the voters, and had no clear message, is difficult to believe. This is campaign messaging 101. You start by introducing the candidate as a person, weaving together his life history and values with those of the people he wants to serve, so that it's obvious that he's the right person, with the right values, for the times. You have a pithy version of that core narrative, written in the language of the kitchen table, so people will talk about it, and which is memorable, so that it sticks. ,... Voters should be able to assume your positions on issues from your values.
Quote:And how did that play out in district 6?
All voters are really looking for are the answers to two questions: do you understand and care about people like me, and do you share my values?
Quote:Then the author goes into land that frankly brings out the cynic in me whenever I see it done ...
So what was wrong with Ossoff's campaign? Having watched so many ads for so many months, I should know who Jon Ossoff is ... But after all those months and all those ads, I couldn't answer a single one of those questions. I didn't have a clue who he is or where he came from. I have no idea what he's done with his life and career so far, and what he believes in and why. I don't even know why he was running for Congress. ... It wasn't until a couple days after the race was over that I even learned, after asking several people who didn't know either, that he actually grew up in Atlanta.
I certainly saw nothing in any ads, from him or his opponent, that would make me dislike him. But it might have been nice to have reason to like him. He had no narrative, no message, and no connection to me, and if he didn't to me, I doubt his ads created much of a connection to anyone else ...
Quote:But maybe that stuff works for you, and most other people.
So why not run as a Democrat, who cares about a little girl named say, Emma, a six-year-old child whose leukemia is finally in remission, but whose life is on the line if Republicans, by design or by accident, cut the lifeline that saved her life in the first place?
Why not show with your words, your intonation, and your actions -- by visiting kids like Emma in what is identifiably Northside Hospital, and naming the hospital by name, because it's one of the best hospitals in the state, with affiliated doctors all over the district, and it conveys that you know that district and care about the people in it.
And why not make clear that you understand what your opponent doesn't: that this is not about abstractions. This is not about a name, either, "Obamacare" vs. "Trumpcare." This is about Emma. This is about common sense, that health care is too important to too many people to eliminate what we have in one fell swoop, on one day, and replace it immediately with something new and untested.
It got me to wondering, what values did Trump and Hillary embody? And who did they appear to care about? Trump of course embodied the person who was mad as hell, and he appeared to care about mad as hell vot

Trump could be indicted over Georgia election interference as early as spring, and also faces possible Jan. 6 charges
