Years ago I had a series of appointments in Maine at the Bath Shipyards. Make Navy ships. Walked in this big office and this black guy greeted me and sat down behind his desk...head of purchasing or engineering...can't remember. We exchanged pleasantries and small talk. Then, he looked at me and started laughing. Knowing I was from Atlanta he said.....bet you didn't think you'd be talking to a black guy in Maine. We both cracked up. Great guy...have thought of him often over the years.
This is a good read.
Honestly, I think the best elements of the democratic party has moved behind Trump in the last 8 years. It will be interesting if their party finds any sanity moving forward. I find it doubtful.
"Democrats, you once belonged to a great party that celebrated civic virtue, championed the working man, and was deeply suspicious of consolidated wealth and power. But somewhere along the way your party rejected Jefferson & Jackson and abandoned the common man for power, money, and status. You are now the party of Big Business, Big Bureaucracy, war, surveillance, censorship, and sneering, undeserving privilege.
Your leaders betrayed the values that made you the Party of the People, stitching together instead a political coalition centered around racial animus, resentment, paranoia, and fear. To hold this shaky coalition together, you’ve been forced to adopt absurd beliefs and participate in humiliation rituals that exact a heavy toll on your mental health while achieving very little. The more your party succumbs to its contradictions, the more deranged you become, chasing after imaginary fascists and foreign subversives while the kitchen table issues that once defined your politics fade into the background.
This coalition is coming apart at the seams, and now the Republican Party—historically the party of Big Business and the war machine—is eating your lunch. You just lost big, and you’re going to keep losing until you finally return to the fundamentals and revolt against your party leaders just like we did back in ‘16.
We are living through an historic realignment, and my team gets to make the first move. You can always double-down on the scolding, sermonizing, and faculty lounge bullshit, or you can return to the fundamentals and take your party back. And as much as I can’t stand you, I sincerely hope you pursue the latter."

These shameless hacks are going with the Russia hoax again.

Accurate.
People like Bill Maher (I like him, most probably don’t here)…has been saying and calling the Dem party out for years over the crazy shit that it takes to win a Dem primary now.
Soooo “tolerant/woke” that you are no longer tolerant/woke.

Hands down. So much truth and hope in there, and none of it was fake. Whoever was responsible for that one needs a big ol’ raise.
Gives me chills every time. Legitimately one of the best political ads ever.
Tom Cotton takes name out for post in Trump cabinet.
Expect Tim Scott to be on the cabinet.

I still say that a voting requirement(s) should be 1) you're a taxpayer and/or 2) property owner.
Voter if you have 'skin in the game'
Already a lot of great items mentioned by others. I will add
- reinstating single issue legislation and
- mandating public viewing and discussion of all bills for 2 weeks or more prior to being brought to a vote
- mandating the revocation of Congress voting on their own raises. Need to be referendums on that
- lobbying limits with immediate, public declaration of any such transactions between office holders/parties and lobbyists
- revoking insider trading for members of congress AND
- prosecution of politicians who have not only been insider trading but also manipulating markets in doing so
- revoking corporate personhood
- instituting tuition and spending limits for all public colleges and universities as well as taxing them to benefit the communities in which they reside
- mandating proficiency in consumer education and requiring community or military service as part of degree requirements at secondary schools, colleges and universiries
- reintroducing PE requirements and minimums for HS degree
- mandating TRUE and PUBLISHED efficacy and safety testing for all current jabs and their ingredients and any new products brought to market
- preventing the forced or required treatment of any person with any product including any that has not been so properly tested
- mandatory attaching of the death penalty to all murder convictions and convicted rape of children, with the only variable being time until execution (from immediate election by convict to 2 yrs maximum delay)
- restoration nationally of castle doctrine
That's it for now

Philly Democratic Chair Bob Brady slams Kamala Harris campaign after loss to Trump
Hours after Donald Trump’s victory winning Pennsylvania and the White House, Philadelphia Democratic Chair and former congressman Bob Brady slammed Kamala Harris’ campaign, claiming their lack of communication with him and his organization contributed to her loss.

The people betting on elections on the betting sites use the various polls to determine how they are going to bet. I'd argue they are an aggregator of polling data. And when a poll comes out that's say, 53-45 Trump, the betting odds are going to be like 95-5, which looks more accurate. But it's a different number.
Mostly joking…believe what you believe. Respect.
Property owning and min service record…I’m personally not on board with.

You misunderstand. Imo those are "ORs" not ANDS. IOW meet one of those requirements.
A homeless veteran that isn't paying taxes should have the right to vote, imo.
Since the White House isn't happening for Kamala, I guess she'll have to move back to her middle class neighborhood.
Gotcha. Misread…thought 2/3 were requirements.
I wouldn’t have been able to vote. Haha
Have three rental properties, but no service or ownership…I guess cars are considered property though and I’d be okay. Still against that.
Regardless. Tax payer, should be a requirement. No doubt about it

How did THAT become such a rampant narcissist. Don't get me wrong I'm not a heart throb, but how do Rob Reiner and Keith Blubberman (damn autocorrect) love themselves SOO MUCH? Are their no mirrors in their lives? No one to actually read them back their bullsht WITH A HEALTHY dose of their own hypocrisy?
Stephen A Smith blasts Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama for 'alienating' voters
Stephen A. Smith is not a fan of the "guilt" tactics Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama took to implore voters to vote Vice President Kamala Harris.
I visited Haverhill, MA over this past 5th July en-route to Iceland. Trump signs all over the place.
He's not the only one capable of doing that, and if you think he's only "participating in endless show hearings" without any benefit, then why the FK would you want him as Ag Sec? That makes no sense.
He's one of the few in congress that votes against the big money
So that's where are the hooses go!
Hoosegow is a word that I have not heard in maybe 20 years, love it.
Participating in endless show trials is not a criticism of Massie, it’s a criticism of that branch of government and their useless show hearings. I voted for him Tuesday. He’s one of the best in government and needs to be in a position that has maximum impact.
Trump, and what he signals he’ll sign, will be the key to spending.

I hated Bill Maher's smugness through all the years, and while he is still VERY smug (he smokes those gay little cigars on his show like he's a frenchie).. he's been dropping a ton of truths on his own party.
He's still very much a democrat, but he's certainly someone I can look at across the aisle and see where he's coming from. He strikes me as a very old Kennedy democrat who is very tired of where his current party has drifted off to.
Someone from this thread might make a brief appearance in this ad…
Republican party looks strong for the next two decades. I mean we can really have a great run just can't screw it up.
Vance next president 8 years?
