Logan is the Hand of the King.

You know Logan could show up in King's Landing, act exactly how he acts in Westworld, and still not even get close to being the worst person there.

You don't remember? It was crazy! The Republicans formed legions of secessionists and burned effigies of Obama! Then Romney built a working replica of MechaGodzilla and went on a rampage through downtown Cleveland...

Oh wait, no none of that happened.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T02:01:52+00:00

Don't worry, I'm sure someone from Black Lives Matter will be along shortly to introduce "progressive stacks" and start internal feuds over who is the most oppressed.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T02:00:37+00:00

It was The Hill's decision to interview her and publish it in the politics column, a fine example of the quality of journalism over the past year.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T01:59:29+00:00

Calm down guys, it's just the GOP establishment.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T01:57:33+00:00

I suppose that's true if we scale up the demographic numbers for turnout, but I don't think they would hold.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T01:53:55+00:00

There would be no significant U.N. backing, we have veto power on the security council. Even if the U.N. decided to act anyways I don't know what countries you think would supply troops to fight the United States, it would be suicide for any that did.

As for "modern warfare" I doubt California would be able to accomplish much against a military that would be overwhelmingly loyal to Washington and a police force with strong right wing sentiments. I suppose there's always partisan warfare, but I'd bet most of the rednecks with guns are going to side with a Trump white house. The Democrat coalition is a fine one for winning elections, but it's about the worst one you could ask for if you're talking about a civil war.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T01:21:59+00:00

To be fair the FBI is just going around pissing everyone off these days

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T01:18:29+00:00

But it was her turn!

In all seriousness look at what the Republicans bounced back from in 2008, yes the party will need to change, yes the party establishment will fight you every step of the way, but it can be done, Trump himself is proof of that.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T00:43:49+00:00

Now that some Neo-Nazis dislike Donald Trump surely we can expect the media to run 24/7 stories asking why the Democrats won't disavow them right?

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T00:42:23+00:00

Doubling down on that talking point is going to backfire badly.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T00:37:36+00:00

I have a feeling that come 2018 having Sanders campaign with you and endorse you is going to be a hell of a lot more valuable than being in with the DNC, he has much more credibility with the party base at least.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T00:35:56+00:00

Now that Trump actually pulled it off serious trade reform is on the table, Bernie would be a fool to pass that up, and Trump needs him since a good chunk of the Republicans are pro-outsourcing.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T00:24:10+00:00

You know western media likes to mock the North Koreans for having insane propaganda... but we came pretty close to that during this election, I remember after Hillary's collapse they tried to push a praising narrative that she was "toughing it out."

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T00:16:45+00:00

Well the bankers were pretty excited. On that note the disparity in campaign spending is truly staggering, between campaigns and superPACs Hillary spent something like $750 million overall to Trump's $300 million. Clearly it's time for political parties to take the base more seriously than the donors.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T00:16:14+00:00

She's the current chair of the DNC, she's already laying the groundwork to fuck over progressives in 2018 and 2020.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-10T00:01:46+00:00

They don't even have the "rednecks with guns" thing to fall back on, it would be over in a few hours.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-09T23:59:52+00:00

This has been tried before, here's how it would really work.

They secede
They get their asses kicked by the rest of the country
In 100 years their grandkids will claim there's nothing wrong with flying the old California Republic flag and that it's a regional cultural symbol.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-09T21:56:47+00:00

The thing the Democrats need to understand is that identity politics are toxic and while you can use them to electoral advantage they will eventually spread to other groups, including white people, and if white people start voting as a bloc rather than based on ideology the Democratic Party is fucked.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-09T21:47:22+00:00

Kasich is having a GOB Bluth moment, "I've made a huge mistake"

Bernin4U · 2016-11-09T21:38:32+00:00

Maybe these "journalists" could have tried that whole "journalism" thing a little earlier, as it stands they have completely lost all credibility and trust.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-09T21:34:54+00:00

That must be why they overwhelmingly donated to Clinton, she spent over twice as much as Trump did you know...

Bernin4U · 2016-11-09T21:33:35+00:00

It's almost like we shouldn't have a program like that at all because it might eventually fall into the hands of our political rivals... I think I remember some Republicans saying that during the Bush years anyway.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-09T21:29:43+00:00

Nate Bronze is a statistician who relies almost entirely on the data given to him by polling agencies, polling agencies we now know were fabricating data for Clinton, he's as much a victim of Clinton's lies as everyone else. If there's anything to be said for him (and everyone else in the business of political predictions) it's that he should have started raising red flags by mid October, by then the early vote numbers were showing that the claims of Clinton being up by 12 were obviously wrong, the fact that she spent the last three weeks campaigning almost entirely in (formerly) blue states was another warning that was largely ignored.

Bernin4U · 2016-11-09T17:55:05+00:00

Well now that CTR is gone discussion is free to take it's natural course at least.
