Republicans in California are like wild animals. You can find them now only in deserts, mountains, and forests.

What's wrong with that post? It's humorously accurate.

It's not anywhere close to being true. Even though we are outnumbered you can still find us in the suburbs.

Lol, the CAGOP just got brutally burbstomped in Orange County and you still seriously believe Republicans are strong there?

Good point. Because that post meant absolutely literally that Republicans have been ushered en masse outside of all major cities and suburbs Into the Wilderness.

Take a joke, dude.

Learn how to read stupid. When I did stay strong. Also I didn't even say Orange County either. I wouldn't call losing close elections brutally burbstomed. Take CA-48, if Rohrabacher had retired CA-48 wouldn't have flipped. According to the OC precinct map there were quite a few Cox/Rouda precincts. That's a district most likely to flip back in 2020.

Rohrabacher wasn't an especially strong incumbent, but it's absurd to think that he was so weak that he ran 7 points below a generic Republican.

Clearly a Republican would've held an open Clinton seat in CA-48 when they held literally no other open Clinton seat in the entire country. In fact, there are only three Clinton districts left represented by Republicans, and there would be only one if Dems didn't flub their resource allocation in TX-23 and candidate recruitment in PA-01.

If Heller ran as a Kasick type Republican he would have lost at even greater margins

I respect you as one of the most intelligent and fact centric Democrats on Atlas, but can you explain why this ain't the right take?

[Politician]

Ignoring the fact that Dems won the popular vote in the WI Assembly by 8%...

Democrats only gained 1 seat in Wisconsin assembly. Massive failure and shows the state is trending r. Gerrymandering isn't a full excuse there.

Sarah Palin in a different hat.  It's going to be fun to watch her fans slowly come to that realization over the next two years.

She's cozy with the left-wing Donald Trump, There isn't going to be much future for Cortez if she continues dividing the party with fantastical proposals that aren't going to help the country, while Russia funding our government.

Bernie Derangement Syndrome at its finest.

Bernie is out in the public bashing minorities and women rights, pandering to racists but not people who strongly support the Democratic Party. Cortez doesn't have much clout with the party base at the moment because of her friendship with the Independent candidate.

You could put any James Monroe post in here, but this one is especially hilariously absurd and ignorant.

We could deport every immigrant AND native born economist tomorrow and it wouldn't make a difference to the economy.

They need Jesus Christ.

Jesus is a fictional creation of man. Wiccans have better logic then to enter into that cult.

DeSantis is fantastic.

Thank u bby

[OSR stands with Israel]

Smart move. They have a quickly aging population and cant replace their numbers fast enough. At least with immigration, they can stop an economic catastrophe.

Culture and religion is more important than money. Something marxists like you don't seem to understand.

I can't tell you what the poster who wrote this thought--as I recall the quote in his signature indicates some terrible form of national socialism is his ideology--but one is often attempted to equate the materialism of modern liberalism with the strident materialism of Marxism.

Tulsi Gabbard is the only Democrat in the United States I've seen be praised by Libertarians and the Trump right since George Wallace and Strom Thurmond.

She's by far the most electable. Her military experience and socially libertarian but progressive views will win over a large number of independents and even drag some away from Trump.

I dunno man...seems reasonable to me

Lots of leftists oppose the Russia investigation but calling that "firing Mueller" sounds weird. I guess they do want to fire Mueller but that's because they want to call the whole thing off. Saying "Fire Mueller" sounds like they want him replaced with someone else, as opposed to opposing the existence of his position altogether.

Anyway, obvious FF. The Russia investigation is dumb. Even if you don't like Trump (which most of these leftists don't) it's dumb as hell.

Even if Trump did collude with Russia, as long as votes weren't changed, who cares? It's good. I want all US presidents to conspire with Russia not to go to war with Russia.

Good, maybe some more poor people will stay employed instead of going (fully) on welfare.

Allowing employers to pay employees below a living wage is peak entitlement. Thinking you should be entitled to someone’s labor below a wage wherein they can afford their mere survival is the sign of an entitled person; employers need to be broken of this dysfunctional, selfish, and immature mindset.

That's some twisted logic.  No one is "entitled" to anyone's labor.  How much your, my, or others' labor is worth is:

1. How much one is willing to pay for it.
2. How low of wage for which you're willing to work.
3. How rare your skill is.
4. How many people want your work.

We are not slaves, that's the old South and Communist countries (that haven't adopted at least some capitalism as China has).

OH MY GOD LYNDON SAID AVERROES LIVES IN NEW YORK CITY HOW F[INKS]ING STUPID CAN SOMEONE BE

An extremely online unemployed writer with multiple grad degrees has a take on whites in the rural United States.

In Iowa there are two words for that: Who cares?

Whoever was responsible for sending this person to Oskaloosa as a political organizer should be fired, escorted from the premises, and forbidden from working on any Democratic campaign.

P.S. The fact that Bernie bros are having a seizure over these comments is the most convincing argument that she is telling the truth.

[Coastal Elitist]

Any argument that considers states as meaningful and independent entities is still colossally stupid. We're at a point with mass communication, mass culture, nationalized politics, etc. that there's no reason to consider states as truly independent collections of constituencies rather than some arbitrarily binned groupings of people. Put another way: we're at a point where most states have a large amount of variance within their constituencies, to the point that the differences among states are becoming meaningless so long as you know a person's education level, race, and gender. There isn't much difference in the political leanings or the between Rock Island, Illinois and Davenport Iowa, or between Fairfax County, VA and Prince George's County, MD, between Wendover, Nevada and West Wendover, Utah, etc. But the current representation system we have treats ridiculously them as totally separate political entities. So, any type of system which tries to do some fair weighting of "states" as if they had some sort of meaningful political identity is trying to weight something which isn't well defined enough to be meaningful. Keeping a system of political representation which is based on trying to balance out some weird political variables that don't really exist is horrible and indefensible when it creates massive inequalities in other ways, e.g., giving the 40 million people of California as much political representation in a major body of Congress as a state that's almost 1/80th its size.

I don't really care about the Connecticut Compromise. It's a product of a bygone era with incredibly different political needs and realities, and its mere existence isn't a sufficient argument for why it should continue to be followed. It's telling that all arguments in favor of incredibly biased systems of proportionment are justified by arguments that are ultimately "this is the way it is", or "this is the way it was", without ever giving an argument for why that is right or desirable.

Basically this and everything Solid and AndyHogan have said in this thread: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=308408.msg6570518#new
