They didn't turn out for her because she was a deeply flawed candidate AND ran a poor campaign. If you don't think the Dems have an energize base after 3 years of Trump....well, I'm not sure how to end that sentence.

I guess that's a question for pollsters. I was just alluding to the stories I've read on the spat between Pelosi and AOC. If the party leader is against or annoyed with you, you're probably not unifying. The "face of the party" is eventually going to be the nominee, but Trump's goal is to make that person beholden to "the Squad."

Just my PoV but haven't the Republicans got increasingly self-absorbed and bat-shit crazy post Eisenhower? Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Son of Bush,Trump. Each increasingly right wing, increasingly isolationist, and isolated, and less interested in government by the people and for the people. Ike's administration would seem like a bunch of goddam commie-socialists to many members of today's GOP.Last edited by Amor de Cosmos; 17-07-2019, 20:30.

Ah, then was it that they needed Republican votes in order to actually impeach him and were sure they had them?

They should do it anyway, regardless of any political calculations. i mean I don;t believe it is politically damaging, but when people (especially those in power and with influence) say out and out racist things they need to be called out (I mean they need to be called out when they use racist tropes even if they're more subtle, but "send them home" is about as clear cut as it possible to be)

The dismantling of society started under Reagan in the 1980s as part of a global trend of the rentier class slowly dismantling the gains made by labour movements.

Once again.
You can judge people by the company they keep.
Donald Trump openly identifies himself as a racist. (Again)
