The Democrats: the research angle
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Sat, 06/09/2018 - 10:23pmIt was fun to read this piece in the NYT from two researchers of suburban politics. "Turning Affluent Suburbs Blue Isn't Worth the Cost" argues that, in sum:
Democrats
What is the relevance of the Democratic Party?

Look upon at many levels, the Dem party serves multiple purposes.
Democrats' "Blue Wave" is essentially gone
Submitted by gjohnsit on Thu, 05/10/2018 - 11:37amThree months ago the Democrats were going to crush the Republicans.
Today the Democrats' lead is within the margin of error.
Democrats doing what they do best--LYING
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Mon, 05/07/2018 - 5:59pmThis post will surprise no one, except my Aunt Alithea, who takes every one at their word and then at their leg. But this brief article is more fun than usual because of the two degenerates pictured in it. I say degenerates because I am assuming that at some remote time the Gruesome Twosome were possessed of morality--though all traces seemed to have vanished.
Rats in a cage--yes, the DemonRATs--see how they run
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Sun, 04/29/2018 - 5:29amWhen I think of "blue wave", I don't think of Democraptic gains in Congress. No, I think about the blue swirl of toilet bowl cleaner going down the drain. If the Democrats are going to win anything during midterms, other than their already assured Stupidity Prize, they are going to have to come with something, anything--except A) we're not Trump (true you're stupid mofos), B) Russia! made me do it.
Dems smoking cigars and riding the gravy train
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Fri, 04/27/2018 - 7:04amDead but not yet buried. The Dimocraptic party is like a three-legged bulldog. Tenacious bite but won't get very far. I am happy to report that Florida leads the nation due to my cousins' great appetites. Seems like them Dems got hold of a bone and can't let go. Mmm, meaty. The party of the people? Which people? The party for the people--not our people. The party of the working person?
Why 2018 might be very different

"I did not leave the Democratic Party; the Democratic Party left us.”
Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 04/03/2018 - 11:57amRep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's (D-Fla.) primary opponent, Tim Canova, dropped out of the Democratic primary in order to run as an independent. The reason why he says he did this is interesting.
Dems screaming "Russia!" should be looking out for Pakistan link to Dem corruption
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Mon, 04/02/2018 - 6:49pmRussia! Russia! Russia!--yeah, we know. But have the Dems mentioned just once the Awan Brothers or Pakistan or the ISI or the real sedition that is just sitting under every congress critter's nose? Interestingly the Repugnants are just as silent about this as the Dems, although, so far no one can pin any blame on the Repubbies for this security fiasco, which is correctly termed sedition.
Progressives have already won the public agenda battle
