[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

The most important County for Beshear tomorrow will be Jefferson County. He needs to win that 58-42 or something like that to have a chance maybe even higher.

He needs to get 65%+ to have a chance. He'll probably get >60%, but not the 65-67% that he needs.

He probably needs 70%+ to even get within single digits statewide. KY is more rural than TN, and Bredesen getting 70% in Nashville was only enough to get to 43% of the state vote.

Here is how Democrats can win over people like OP...

The type of person Atlas thinks will deliver us Gov. Beshear, and thought would deliver us Sen. Bredesen, Gov. Edmondson, etc.

I'm sure OP would vote for Beshear because muh Bevin unpopular!

And before someone says he is not representative of the average Kentucky voter, you're right. He has not used any racial slurs yet and has the ability to form semi-coherent thoughts.

The number of available slots for a starring role in reality tv is pretty limited, especially as the heyday for that is over.   However I expect our country to be inundated with random people flipping the bird at politicians in hopes of riding it to political stardom.  Is this what you people want?

You haven't explained how having a reality TV show would qualify someone to be the most powerful person in the world.

"Doctor, you didn't graduate from med school, you just printed out a diploma you found online?"

"Yes, but Trump is president, so it's fine."

Context: absolute worst case scenario for Trump.

This is dems had a good candidate which they don't. I think Tulsi could get close to this.

I mean, he’s polling poorly with African-Americans in no small part due to that community’s homophobia, so that part isn’t really his fault.  Oh and also because he fired a crooked police chief who happened to be black, but again not his fault the guy decided to commit a felony.

Funny how literally everyone I've seen make this take is white.

Is it really a "take" when you can just look at the polling? African-American support for gay marriage is routinely 10% lower than white support for it.

I think ur missing the point about it only being white people, typically privileged white people making statements like that.

I have seen enough evidence that I don’t think I’m making an even remotely unreasonable assumption by stating that one of them the major reasons Buttigieg does so poorly with African-American voters is that he’s gay.  That evidence has come in the form of focus group results (https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article236516903.html), admissions from African-American politicians (https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/11/03/sotu-clyburn-buttigieg.cnn), and anecdotal evidence from conversations I’ve had with African-Americans I know personally who have talked about the homophobic comments their friends and family members have made over the years. 

I'm sure your two black friends in real life count as enough evidence. Yeah black politicians, the same ones who hardly ever represent the interests of their constituents obviously know so much about this issue. Maybe if Pete actually did something and didnt come off as an idiot on issues about race his numbers would be better.

I'm not going to entertain this anymore. I honestly hate it when white people make statements like this. But I'm not surprised the out of touch atlas left does.

Should he also attend the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China? China was also a big contributor to defeating Imperial Japan.

yes

Um, the PRC wasn't founded until 1949, four years after the end of WWII.

I'm aware. But the Chinese communists did fight against Japan. Also, shouldn't you be telling that to Beet, the one who asked the question?

It was the Nationalist Chinese that resisted the Japanese.  Trump should honor the Chinese resistance to the Japanese in Taipei, the home of the Nationalist government that resisted the Japanese.

F(ck you Louisiana. We should cut their medicaid expansion money off if we regain control federally.

extremely normal response to a tied poll.

Probably from a Zionist perspective. Israel has long refused to recognize the genocide. Relations between Israelis and Armenians are poor, despite some superficial similarities. Armenia is a close ally of Iran and Israel a close ally of Azerbaijan. Armenians in East Jerusalem are treated like sh*t. Armenian Palestinians shared the same fate as Arab Palestinians in 1948.

Oh, and the Armenian Genocide threatens the uniqueness of the Holocaust.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Hold up, people.

Let's all calm down and realize that this isn't about the Right or the Left. Both parties have gone to war and supported regime change as soon as a regime stops benefiting/does not benefit American interests abroad.

This is why I view America's foreign policy in the same light, or even worse than Russia's for example.

I consider Roger Stone to be a political prisoner.

My opinion of this will not be subject to revision until such time as the entire genesis of Russiagate is revealed, and the entire role of the FBI and other intelligence agencies is revealed.

Not sure what's so hard about just not spending your money somewhere if you didn't agree with them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe if most of these protesters had jobs and some real hobbies, they'd be less outraged over a restaurant that sells fried chicken.

People: We're not going to eat at Chick-fil-A because they fund anti-groups.
Chick-fil-A: OK we'll stop doing that then.
fhtagn: Why not instead of not eating at Chick-fil-A and thus forcing them to change their policies can people just not eat at Chick-fil-A?

Even if he should have responded differently, doesn't change the fact it's ridiculous to claim he's a Republican, as people on the left have done multiple times.

You literally supported Trump at the beginning of his campaign because of the deficit.  You are the only person who can say they were that stupid to support Donald J. Trump because of... the deficit.

I never supported Trump unironically, but you Berniebros deserve Trump if you can't support another Democratic nominee than Saint Bernard.
