Why did it just disappear after Obama won in 2008? Remember what else happened after that? Democrats lost close to 1,000 seats in states across the country which had bad efforts for people living in them. Of course the Koch brothers and their organizations didn't just fold their tents and go home. Oh no. They worked extra hard to get their people in place.

The other thing that happened was that democrats let McConnell run all over them and Obama's agenda. Republicans seem to be the only party that can filibuster democrat's legislation and place secret holds to stop them from doing anything. McConnell also refused to appoint Obama's picks for the federal courts which positions are now being filed by extremist judges many who aren't qualified. And guess who is helping them do this? Schumer has made many deals with Mitch to let him put up to 15 on them without any holdup. If that's not enough we have DiFi, Manchin and other democrats voting for them. And look at how many of Trump's appointees were voted for by democrats. Democrats let Mitch hold open the Supreme Court vacancy and now we have a right wing court in place for decades that will uphold laws that the lower courts decide.

The remaking of the country is almost complete. The courts are striking down lots of older democrat legislation like worker's rights. The Kochs have their people in place. Regulations are being gutted. Congress cut taxes on the rich bigly which has caused $6 billion less going to the government in 4 months.

Rents are skyrocketing because banks and hedge funds bought them for pennies on the dollar and the millennials are under mountains of debt from their student loans that they can't afford to buy them. On top of this we have another recession building and to top that off the Midwest is under water which means that farmers can't plant their crops which will see food prices rise, millions of cattle have been killed, Trump's tariffs and trade wars and sanctions on Iran's and Venezuela's oil is causing gas prices to rise.

Millions are homeless and that number is rising because people are going bankrupt because we have an insane private insurance health care scam.....

So back to your question about the 50 state plan to get people to vote for democrats I'm thinking this is why it was chucked.

BTW. I was going to essay the floods in Nebraska, but I'll just let people read the article. I'm not sure about this website though, but then how many ways are there to write about flooding? I really thought I'd be older when the poo hit the overhead blades, but here we are. This really is bad.

I said it yesterday, and I will say it again. This is the worst blow to U.S. agriculture that I have seen in my entire lifetime.

The amount of food that has just been lost is absolutely staggering. Due to the trade war, farmers were storing more wheat, corn and soybeans than ever before, and now the floodwaters have destroyed much of what had been stored…

As prices plummeted last year amid the ongoing trade fight, growers, faced with selling crops at a loss, stuffed a historic volume of grain into winding plastic tubes and steel bins. Some cash-strapped families piled crops inside their barns or outside on the ground.

Farmers say they are now finding storage bags torn and bins burst open, grain washed away or contaminated. Jeff Jorgenson, a farmer and regional director for the Iowa Soybean Association, said he has seen at least a dozen bins that burst after grains swelled when they became wet.

In just one county in Iowa, 1.8 million bushels of corn and soybeans have already been destroyed. Nationwide, the losses are off the charts.

Needless to say, prices will be going way up at the grocery store, and they will keep going up for the rest of the year.

Sadly, even after the flood waters are gone the damage that has been done to our agricultural infrastructure will take years to repair…

Oh yeah. I like this article on how the "left" has embraced the intelligence agencies after they have spent decades screwing them.

Victims of FBI Subversion Now Embrace America’s Secret Police

It seemed like I’d entered a new dimension deep within Bizarro world labyrinth when Democrats suddenly became defenders of the agency. Liberals and leftists, especially those in the civil rights movement and actively opposed to the Vietnam War, were targeted by the FBI and its Operation COINTELPRO in the 1960s and 70s. Many of those targeted activists ended up in government and the ivory towers of academia.

Likewise the Grand Inquisitor, Robert Muller. He was FBI boss during the Bush and Obama administrations. He is a consummate insider. His mission as special prosecutor is to protect the establishment, the so-called Deep State.

I can only conclude Democrats are either 1) suffering from a special kind of amnesia, or 2) they’re so ethically and morally bankrupt they will buddy up with an agency that seriously violated their rights in order accomplish the current objective: the impeachment and total destruction of Donald Trump.

Well there you go. 3 essays in one. It's time for ice cream.

#1.1

Blaming voters is some next-level bullshit. Where the hell were the Democrats with a fifty state plan then? I'm not sure if I can articulate this well, but sometimes I wonder if Republicans ever feel disappointed with their own legislators like Democratic voters are. Like, are Ted Cruz voters ever annoyed with him for lying or flip-flopping or siding with Democrats? I get that there are a lot of people who don't think Ted Cruz is right-wing enough, but on ideology, if I vote for Ted Cruz, I trust that what I see is what I get. If I can summarize: both parties' voters are fed up with the corruption, but Dem voters get to watch their legislators fold to the GOP more often than not.
