"Hello Russia if you are listening, help us beat the Democrats" You do know that there are major differences between a democracy and a republic, right?

I mean if you were not opposed to protecting our voting systems? Just pretend you actually cared. What does actual cyber security have to do with the sanctity of the vote? Do you think that the Russians are trying to change the vote online?

B-Man Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Dems still wrestling over superdelegates - a 2016 issue Associated Press, by Bill Barrow Original Article WASHINGTON — Bernie Sanders is back in the Senate minority. Hillary Clinton is selling books and playing with grandchildren. And the Democratic Party is still navigating the fallout from their bitter 2016 presidential nominating fight. The latest reminder came this week as party leaders failed to agree on how to reduce the influence of so-called "superdelegates" in picking Democrats´ next White House nominee. That class of party leaders — Democratic National Committee members, elected officials and others — overwhelmingly favored Clinton two years ago, inflaming Sanders backers who accused Democratic power players of stacking the deck. Yes, it was rigged.

Tiberius Posted March 20, 2018 Author Posted March 20, 2018 Absolutely, and I hope the voters turn out to kick these bums out! Republicans have complete abandoned their obligations to check an extremely bad president. Here’s how Republicans antagonize voters who thought they would take their oaths seriously. Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.): ““I think one of the really sad realizations over the last year is not what kind of a president Donald Trump turns out to be — I think it was all too predictable — but rather, how many members of Congress would be unwilling to stand up to him, and more than that, would be completely willing to carry water for him. That is a very sad realization.” On 3/12/2018 at 3:27 PM, B-Man said: The Democrats still want that tax cut money back, because they know better how to spend it than YOU do: “Take”?

Tiberius Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 Quote As for the nature of the Republican base, the Pew Research Center finds: Women and especially college graduates have moved toward the Democratic Party. By contrast, the Republican Party’s advantage in leaned party identification among white voters without a college degree has never been greater, dating back more than two decades. While partisanship among voters usually does not change much on a yearly basis, some differences have widened over time, especially by educational attainment, gender and age. And these gaps are even larger when categories are combined, such as education, race and gender. . . . About half of white voters (51%) identify with the GOP or lean Republican, while 43% identify as Democrats or lean Democratic. These figures are little changed from recent years. By contrast, African American voters continue to affiliate with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic by an overwhelming margin (84% Democrat to 8% Republican). Hispanic voters align with the Democrats by greater than two-to-one (63% to 28%), while Asian American voters also largely identify as Democrats or lean Democratic (65% Democrat, 27% Republican). When you get to millennials, you’ll see that a xenophobic, misogynistic bully is — who knew? — a huge turnoff. “Nearly six in ten Millennials (59%) affiliate with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic, compared with about half of Gen Xers and Boomers (48% each) and 43% of voters in the Silent Generation. A growing majority of Millennial women (70%) affiliate with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic; four years ago, 56% of Millennial women did so.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2018/03/22/trump-wont-change-so-neither-will-the-gops-midterm-prospects/?utm_term=.d04d1b7a69f1 Non-college educated older white males. This is a real problem for the wealthy using these people to control the government. The younger generation coming of age hates all this crap the Trump voters want. And the Trump voters are dying off. 10,000 baby boomers retire each day and since the uneducated one die younger (un-healthy habits of the ignorant) their voting power is literally drying up.
Tiberius Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 Canny Democrats will make precisely this point. “While Republicans argue that Americans are going to vote with their pocketbooks this fall (thanks to a growing economy boosted by tax cuts and deregulation), Democrats seem to be betting that health care — costs and access — will be the more salient issue in 2018. In fact, as we saw in the special election in [Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District], Democrat Conor Lamb made the case that many of his constituents are going to have to use their tax cut refund to pay for escalating health care costs. It’s also true that Americans are more emotionally attached to health care than they are to almost any other issue.”
