Is The Collapse Of The Democrat Party Eminent?

[Champakian]

I hope he does not run again, purely because of his age.

You should have been thinking abut that the first time.

He is beyond frail, more than a tad senile
and the world is taking note/advantage.

Because of the conscious decision
that all the candidate had to do
was beat Trump (and he did),

The SS Democrat is taking on water and listing...



... listless in the water and cheering
the bravery of the band.
No bailing out.

No lifeboats.

Not yet, but that's on the horizon. Maybe in 2040 or so.

LMFAO!!!!

Yea I'm sure the (D)'eez will make up that 50% they are down by in one of the redder states of the union.

I'm sure California is about to turn red too!!!

The Dems have a higher floor there than you think. THey're a lot closer than 50%.

I'm sure California is about to turn red too!!!

The likes of you do say that all the time, as a matter of fact.

Once...


ONCE!!!

That's enough times to make you go apoplectic.

Not in the last presidential election, and especially not in 2018 or 2016......solid super majority control of the state.

Both senators and 3/4 reps are (R)'z.

1 lonely rep is all the voice that (D)'eez have in Mississippi, it's one of the reddest states in the nation and like Texas got MORE red in it's last elections.

Next to B'ama and Tuckasee Mississippi, without a giant influx of progressives who decided for some reason to move to their nightmare state, it will almost certainly be one of the last states to go blue.

The likes of you do say that all the time, as a matter of fact.

No.... not ever have I said that.

I don't know anyone else who has either.

I think the odds of California going red are about as good as the ultra red dirty filthy south and the libertarian mountain states going blue. Laughable.

Just short of something truly wild and or catastrophic.... Like WWIII kicking off level of and causing a "All the 1st world problems we thought were so important just got shoved off the table and are not of any particular concern anymore. Shit just got real. " cultural shift happening?? I don't see us as a nation getting off the internal geopolitical polarization train. We have fundamentally opposing value sets. We could certainly be neighbors but we can't live under the same roof.

I only wonder if this will wind up in a heated conflict because one side tries to force us all under the same roof, or will cooler heads prevail and find that good fences make good neighbors and clear boundaries make for healthy relationships??

We live in interesting times.

Such as?

Nonpartisan elections and more flexible affiliations, so candidates can more directly respond to constituents and events. The federal government is starting to decentralize some of its power back to states and local orgs, an inevitable pendulum swing. With local elections regaining importance, voter interest in local issues and elections will increase, and candidates can be known by their personal acts more than party affiliation.

Shouters who cheer for parties as sports teams can go back to cheering for sports teams. Europe's ultras show how to cheer for the home team.

Most American towns and cities have had nonpartisan elections since the Progressive Era of the early 20th Century. (County elections are usually still partisan.) The change does not appear to have made any improvement. It was originally intended to break the power of local partisan political machines, which are now a thing of the past anyway.

Remember when Fucker said something that was politically relevant instead of just geared towards ratings?

No?..me. Neither.

A for effort, BoBo. At this point, a casual reader will likely have forgotten that I said "maybe by 2040", since you are focusing entirely on right now (when neither I nor anyone else said a solitary word about MS flipping to the Dems). You also seamlessly worked in not one but two lies: that Mississippi and Texas got "MORE red" in their last elections (I'll overlook your spelling error). Only a dedicated political junkie would look up the results and learn that it was actually the other way around in both cases. On the other hand, I doubt that was an intentional lie on your part; you probably just posted without checking your work because it's what you want to believe.

But I'll give you this: you know your audience, and you pander to them just about perfectly. You succeeded in obscuring the original point by pretending I'd said something quite different, and making a convincing (if dishonest) case against what you chose to pretend I had said. Well played, sir.

Based on what we've seen in this thread so far, it appears that the collapse of the Democratic Party is not eminent, no matter how next year's midterms go.
