Zed predicted Texas going blue. But he's a nut, right eberly?

Not sure he actually did that. All I've seen him do every day for the last six years is shit all over Texas.

But since you asked, yes, he is a complete lunatic moron

But harmless

-But make no mistake. She's the future of the Democratic Party and was the beginning of the shift to Democratic Socialism.

There are times and I am so convinced you are a sock puppet account for someone else.

You are 100% wrong. This election is a perfect example of it. Moderate Democrats who ran on moderate platforms is a major factor in why the Democrats won.

And if they govern that way, they have a chance of staying, if they don't, they're out

She represents the direction you wish the Democratic Party is headed, but it's not

If CU renders it legally impossible to move to a system as you described in 34 then some constitutional scholar can say so.

I know we have tons of those scholars right here on the DR but I'll wait for an actual scholar to say so.

-Democrats have a few months to make and enact a plan to solve the myriad of problems we face.

why only a few months? they have both houses for 2 years minimum and a shot at the WH

Fair enough. Just reminding folks that ACA subsidies, while necessary for the moment, is the opposite of universal health care. It's pure funding and subsidizing the private health insurance industry.

which means it needs an ending date if we're serious about making real change.

-Remove ALL private funding of elections.

If the democrats are serious, they can start creating the framework for that. Forget Trump's veto power....get it started. draft something that can be debated in committee...etc. the normal process of getting something passed.

Nothing is stopping the dems from doing that if they really want it.

-Restore ACA subsidies

for how long?

-It DOES include owning someone else's residence, no one should be allowed to do that.

why not?

I might prefer to rent from someone else sometime in the future. You want to abolish that?

I was specifically referring to congress...

They certainly need to peel back ICE and get rid of the people who were clearly unqualified.

-Expect betrayal after betrayal from him as revenge.

At this point, who wants anything from Trump? Who can he betray?

Who is going to take a call from that guy now? Even the republicans who won don't have to talk to him, do they? Never mind the lame ducks out there who would like to stab Trump in the temple with a letter opener right now.

What can Trump ask from any republican and expect any consideration?

Thank you, Texas. I was born here, you know.

You've characterized it as a very very dangerous warzone.

That didn't change.

It still is. Maybe worse now that those very very very dangerous people are really really really mad.

Stay inside, Zed. For your own safety

but solid blockage of the Trump agenda.

so the middle finger to Trump until their last day?

Yeah....right now I would imagine most if not all of them are quite pissed at trump.

So.....what predictions do you all have for what they will pull during this lame duck session?

-America is back baby!

and just 5 minutes ago it was dead and finished.

LOL

I'm not that shocked Hamilton won. Yes, I didn't think it would happen 2 months ago.......

What I'm truly shocked is the governors race and the insurance commissioner......I called those wrong.

What I've seen this cycle is that when the republican candidates/incumbents were vulnerable......the democrats ran good candidates.

Not play identity politics. Run quality candidates.

It's going to pay off bigly

calling Hamilton in Kansas now

when was the last time you said that?

Evidence that nobody took that seriously.

Trump will simply blame it on the fact he wasn't on the ballot.

It's a GOP loss.....not his loss.

Sorry. I meant to say i most certainly would agree it affected the outcome.

-So, if Talarico loses by 45 votes ... you'll conclude closing 90 polling places in "certain" neighborhoods had no effect?!?

I most certainly would

But nobody cares if i do that.

LOL

I love this place.

and BTW......why isn't the democratic party making this case with any real effort?

They are challenging the insane lie being told by republicans that these illegal votes are significant.......when they clearly aren't.

But why aren't they taking it a step further to assert the elections ARE being impacted by current voter suppression?

Once the GOP effectively suppresses legal votes.....the dems let it go and move on to the next attempt to suppress them.

Take Texas for example.........eliminated hundreds and hundreds of voting places.

where are the lost elections as a result? anything on that? Nope.....just complaining about the next ones in Ft. Worth for THIS election.

Not the hundreds and hundreds in past elections.

That's a massive number of voting places. Has it mattered? I would think it has.

So.......why no argument from the democratic party if those closures hurt them???
