voting should only be limited to citizens, nonsense to think anything else would be considered
Dean is talking about a 50 state strategy. He does not mean it as he means getting rust belt back but Ellison will take the Dems to an urban only strategy.
When will black people wake up and learn what the Liberals really think about them?
we should just do voting by ssn, if estonia can pull that kind of credibility off, we need to as well.
since we are talking politics anyway, i might as well state another gripe i have with the democratic party platform. affirmative action is one of the most racist policies this nation has adopted. ever.
I mean, if that happens, it's only because Trump lied his way thru the entire campaign. Republicans control all four components of the federal government and will almost certainly continue to do so thru 2020.
I don't think it will have any major impact unless the GOP takes a novel strategy and decides to export the Nebraska/Maine model to blue/purple states where a large metropolitan area swings the POTUS election in the state. Imagine if you still squeeze a couple electoral votes out of Michigan, Minnesota, Washington, etc. by only letting those major cities get an electoral vote or two...
I think voting by SSN is a great idea but we also need some form of photo ID IMO.
I'm sorry, I got in a hurry. It was the 1970 census when Reagan was running for his second term as governor.
The problem with this is fake Social Security numbers. A customer of mine in Somerset had the same Mexican work for him three different times under three different names with three different Social Security numbers. They claim a dozen dependents so no taxes are withheld.
Just to mix it up a little:

Serious question, shouldn't that also include a determined effort to avoid those who are threatening our sovereignty the most? Have these connections to Soros and known domestic terrorists not been reasonable? What is sovereignty's protection when persons who are not our citizens are made our equals, are given more protection, within these lands?
I'm guessing your age at late 20s early 30s. btw, good for you. These are healthy realizations and you should not be expected to apologize for the sensitive approach you have applied in previous years. Naturally, it isn't lost on this reader/poster your previous tactic of bait and switch, but to pretend that may not be in play at the moment . . . correct you are, these people you have voted with hold you accountable with a degree of anger and hate directed at you, your family, without any give a shit about who or what you vote for or how you "feel." Indeed, there is a certain self-nullification to go all-in on the basis of their ethnicity, their place of origin, their needs, and the failure of their cultures to provide quality opportunity for them in those lands that, crazy as it is, they still wave those flags for . . . in your face.
And also they are in our streets. Screaming that Donald Trump cares nothing about them, because when he talks about jobs . . . he mentions it being to the benefit of nobody in particular. Meaning, he aims for it to be to the benefit of everyone, including them, and that isn't good enough for them. The only question left. Is that good enough for you?

Yep. Years ago at another company I worked, we experienced similar issues with various "contractors" from south of the border. One got hurt on the job. What a mess.
man, if only I knew how to import that Daffy Duck gif that pops up on Rafters from time to time . . .
Some of you guys and gals may be too young to remember, but once upon a time back in the 60s and 70s, we enjoyed some real leaders who were well-versed in the art of dealing with creeps, thugs and other sundry miscreants. Rocky, good sir, you are sorely missed.
Well, it's a crazy world out there. I wouldn't want to be Charles Walz, tha's for sure....
American sovereignty? Patriotism? Nationalism? Exceptionalism?
Careful friend, a few more pro-US terms and you're in danger of being called a fascist.
Cornell students protest with a cry-in? Guess it's better than marching through the streets and vandalizing.

If all subsidies were as effective as the ones granted to that guy, I would have to re-evaluate everything I believe in.

On a semi-related subject - automation. I think people are looking at it wrong. It's not going to destroy jobs, it's going to redefine work. You and your robot army will not be desk jockeys, you will be power plants, farmers, manufacturers, drivers, police, and effing everything. Everyone will have a job and it will be to maintain your own world.
It's not that sci-fi either.
Power - Elon's solar + battery stuff
Food - All of these hipsters are gardening now, aquaponics, things like growwithroot.com
Manufacturers - 3d Printing
Drivers - self driving cars
Police - armed drones following you around
What else do you actually need?

I hope its true that Laura Ingram is being considered for Press Secretary. That would be awesome, but I'm not sure Laura would want that job as she'd have to deal with the lying press almost daily. But I'd be very happy with that if it happens. Seeing her smackdown smug reports almost daily would be a must watch.
You should see some his companies futuristic batteries. Big, shiny futuristic packages, but once opened it's literally thousands of D cell batteries soldered together. It's a joke
Can an entire show be put on suicide watch?
If so SNL is on it.

Yes, but the application - or maybe better the granting of - "sovereignty" is not something that just occurs on the basis of decision or action. It isn't similar to an individual embracing the honor codes of country (patriot being patriotic = patriotism). It isn't similar to a large body of individuals within a country putting the codes of that country well before it's most important, permeated cultures (nationalism).
Sovereignty comes form the outside in. And you can believe that. When other countries, other nations, other cultures witness a country, a nation, dying on it's own . . . through any number of processes, say (1) economic collapse, (2) infiltration by other cultures with no supporting interest other than to that from where they came, (3) loss of support among it's own citizens for it's general ruling principles, (4) a no longer effective process to pay for public services, (5) deteriorating infrastructure, (6) a large portion of the population in a state of sustained and/or growing poverty, and (6) a population that simply does not understand it's own priorities then, believe it, sovereignty is threatened and quite possibly on the line. When a nation's leaders support policies, make decisions which create such conditions they are a major threat to their own sovereignty and, indeed, should be questioned for their sense of "patriotism", questioned for the sense of "national" awareness, as they are assisting in the deterioration of a collective culture.
To make it easy, I like to use the "banana republic" model . . . like some fictitious island county where the good doctor Hoenniker's children carried his "weapon" . . . "San Lorenza", I think it was (been ages since I read CC), had it's own language version of creole, it's own dictator, it's own whacked-out religion, it's own currency, laws, it's own flag, a sugar industry, even had an ambassador from the US . . . but one thing you could assume from Kurt Vonnegut that San Lorenza never had . . . it's own sovereignty. . . . ice 9 !!
Found a pic of cardkilla
well, at least those young women were able to express their ideas and concerns intelligently, without making idiots of themselves, Cornell, etc. Sort of admire them for that. Looked like they handled themselves with some dignity.
Nah card killa is a racist, POS. He doesn't understand that
Anyone else's Facebook feed been littered with cherrypicked stories about racial violence supposedly incited by Trump's victory? It's maddening.
I'd venture to say at least 75-80% of the stories people are posting are made up, and I'm not even a Trump supporter or Republican.
