Democrats smell a rout

I'm sure those claims will get you the night manager job at McDonald's....which, for you, would be an example of the Peter Principle.

What the fuck would I want with a job at my age?

My sole remaining responsibilities at this stage of life are to walk my dog, and to try everything I can to relegate Trump and his supporters to history's septic tank.

As happy as I'll be to see the pigfucker Trump dragged out of the White House this coming January, let us remember that Trump is just one despicable troglodyte.

The 63, 000, 000 troglodytes who voted for him will mostly still be around.
These people are quite literally irredeemable.

Even if a few of them realize that they fucked up badly, their original transgression is unforgiveable.
They're far too damaged to transform themselves into minimally acceptable human beings worthy of sharing the planet's oxygen supply,

In peril is the fool who thinks that we did our job by relegating Trump to the deepest trench of history's garbage.
The Trumpanzees who remain will always be a threat to civilized life if they're not dealt with on a frighteningly Draconian level.
That's something that we should be seriously thinking about now as well.

I'm not talking about Hitlerian "Final Solutions," although I'd be a liar if I didn't admit to a guilty smile when I think about it happening to Republican filth.
Surely, though, we could heard them all into a desert reservation or something like that.
Anything to segregate them them from actual humans of value.

These people are a horrible disease on our culture, far worse than the deadly Covid 19 could ever be.
What are we willing to do about it? Again, all decent people must be thinking about that right now.

I don't think much of Biden. But he's definitely better than Trump. The Democrats really need to develop better candidates.

This election was about getting back to normalcy. In any other election, against any other candidate, many in the field would have been excellent challengers. I liked Mayor Pete for his ability to examine issues and speak intelligently on any topic.

Unfortunately, this is a reality show, not an election. For once, there is no question that Biden will serve one term. His VP will have to be viewed as presidential material.

Agreed. I'd vote for Pence in a heartbeat as I suspect millions more would do. Restore sanity to the WH by electing someone who isn't snorting Adderall or gets lost on the way to the Men's Room.

Pence has his own set of issues, but he'll get the Republican vote.

He'll lose the election, but it would be a normal transfer of power.

Got news for you. The defeat the Democrats suffered in the 2010 mid-terms was a direct result of their using their numbers in Congress and holding the Presidency to push through single-party, non-bipartisan, legislation and actions that the public hated. The problem with the Democrat party still exists and if anything, has gotten worse. As the Democrats become a party of the Left and increasingly refuse to work in a bipartisan fashion with Republicans even when they win an election their victory will be short-lived.
Most people won't put up with the Leftist agenda shoved down their throats. The only way the Left has historically been able to gain and retain power is through a dictatorship or sustained massive voter fraud.

What the redistricting plan shown above does is try to impose rigged elections on a national scale using redistricting far in excess of what Republicans have done. Not unexpected from the Left. Nor is pushing for voting rules and systems that allow massive fraud to occur. It doesn't have to have occurred, so much as there be a system in place to allow it down the road.

Actually, EVERYONE seems to overlook the FACT that a LARGE PORTION of the folk that voted for Obama in 2008 were polled and were found to be pissed off that Obama "wasn't fighting hard enough for his campaign promises".... they showed their disdain BY NOT VOTING. And as we all know, Republicans do well when there is a low voter turn out. Just saying.

Donald Trump’s collapsing poll numbers have Democrats thinking bigger than just winning the White House and seizing the Senate — they’re imagining a rout that extends all the way down the ballot.

Intent on not repeating the mistakes of 2010 under then-President Barack Obama, the party is seizing on a once-in-a-decade opportunity to drive the redistricting process — and reverse the built-in advantage Republicans amassed over House district lines after the last census.

it would correct an Obama-era down-ballot shellacking that handed Republicans House control and resulted in the loss of more than 900 Democratic legislative seats.

The devastating results for Democrats in 2010 — part of a multi-million dollar effort by Republicans and Karl Rove to zero in on winning governor’s offices and battleground statehouses — gave the GOP total control in 19 states and allowed them to draw 213 congressional districts.

The new maps were a disaster for Democrats and spawned a bevy of groups and fundraising efforts intent on preventing a repeat in 2020. Most notably, Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder created the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a centralized redistricting hub on the Democratic side “to make sure that what the Republicans did last time was not possible again,” said John Bisognano, the NDRC’s executive director. “We weren’t going to get caught off guard again.”

But the opportunity in November is even more profound, Democrats say. It represents not only a once-every-20-years occurrence when reapportionment falls in a presidential year, but perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity when an incumbent president appears so weak.

Well, we know the GOP "has little or no commitment to fair and accurate elections in the U.S.", as evidenced by their devotion to gerrymandering and voter obstruction.

Doesn't change anything, it was still a debacle for the Democrats. But Obama doing nothing should have been expected seeing as how the guy has done that his whole life. Outside getting elected--something he's absolutely incredible at--he's totally useless at producing results.

Hillary did not do that. She said the ones that were beating up protesters at trump rallies were deplorable. She said it after that Maga hater elbowed a guy in the face that was being escorted out. The people in the audience cheered that attack. That was deplorable. She never said all Trumpies were deplorable.

There wasn't much that Obama could do, since the Republicans were obsessed with opposing everything he tried to do. But Republicans are adamantly opposed to any progress. They only want to turn back time to some imaginary time when everything was perfect.
