Kind of where I am at too. I mean, I voted for Nader in 2000!

Then again, what were considered radical opinions 10 years ago are now moderate opinions. So, I'm guessing part of it we won a lot of important culture wars battles and that the young uns are taking a lot of that change for granted and just want more progress.

So, probably that I'm old and own a business (and worked for Goldman.. shhhh)

LOCK HIM UP!

But, ya. A decade ago, I was a scared gay kid who wanted to be able to get married. Now, some of the things the far, far left are fighting for I'm luke warm to (I'm not sold on $15 minimum wage. I'm not sold on basic income. I'm not 100% in favor of single payer, preferring a multiplayer option). So, ya. I think it's the children who are wrong, not us. : cough : I mean, it's natural I guess. I'm only 29 but I am seeing and feeling that slight shift between youngins and me.

The GOP putting on that disaster of a convention and then saying Kaine is too moderate is hilarious. Do they realize that's how you drive independents to the opposition.

They're probably hoping it'll convince enough of the lefties, who require 100% fealty before they are willing to do anything to stop a fascist, to stay home on election day.

Probably a stupid gamble.

Found it

Already removed?

Is it just me, or is GAF running like shit?

 

[shem935]

So I wanted to play around with the NYT path to victory tool to see how a safely blue Virginia affects things.

Turns out they've already removed it from their list of swing states. Replaced with Arizona.

Arizona is more likely to go blue than Virginia is to go red. Think about that.

And on their tool if Hillary locks up florida it's a done deal.

Arizona was already on there earlier I think. They just took Virginia off

“I didn’t have to get a translator for anything that was going on at the RNC this week. And I’m hoping I’m not gonna have to kinda start brushing up on my Dora the Explorer to understand some of the speeches given [at the DNC].”

Why are Conservative points of view so often juvenile?

 

[StopMakingSense]

I imagine the only people willing to be Trump boosters on television being absolute trash people is going to be an ongoing problem for the Trump campaign.

 

[metalslimer]

Trump campaign called Kaine ethnically challenged.....are you fucking kidding me

 

[Geg]

Looking at some stuff for Kaine on Wikipedia, it's interesting to see he's never been anything for longer than one term. He was mayor of Richmond for 3 years, lieutenant governor of Virginia for 4 years, governor for 4 years, and senator for 4 years. Did he not run for reelection as governor?

 

[User 463088]

Like, Hillary looked so happy. The last few days have probably been some of the grossest she's dealt with in her life. Like, she's used to it, but my god, it has to wear on you after a while. And there she is. Still standing.

 

[BlastProcessing]

whew

Dora! What do these signs say!?

VA has laws that state you cant run for relection in various high offices. Besides the Senate seat.

VA only allows one consecutive term as Governor if I recall.

You can't run for re-election in Virginia. They would have to sit out a cycle and then run again.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

The left being shills for Russia has got me so pissed off today.

Btw I just saw the UN from the J train. I'm even more sad.

 

[NeoXChaos]

Only the VA governorship is term limited by 1 term. You can however run again after 4 years out of office. Every other office you can run successively.

One, because I'm playing Ninja Turtles (FUCK YA!) and also because there are no negative reactions to this rollout anywhere.

Edit: Kanie plays the harmonica because OF COURSE HE DOES.

 

[Wilsongt]

Or being inconvenienced.

Hence so many losing their shit about BLM blocking traffic for example.

Funny story about that: When that happened here in SC, a lot of fire fighters decided it was smart to go online and post racist bullshit.

Someone is now out of a job, and it's not BLM protestors.

 

[Diablos]

35-50k Berners at the DNC I hear.

Hahahahahahahaha

Right

 

[Tarydax]

Wow, Kaine is really great - I wasn't expecting that. He's not as charismatic as Obama, but I don't know what people were talking about when they said he was boring.

 

[jiggle]

Where can I watch Kaine speech?

Just how good is his spanish?
I read on wiki he became fluent after only 1 yr?

 

[PantherLotus]

So it comes down to Florida and Pennsylvania. And here I was thinking Ohio being in play would make a difference.

You cheated BERNIE SANDERS, you escaped FBI criminal indictments, you voted Iraq and take prison lobby money, we're supposed to fear Trump?

Lol.

@HAGOODMANAUTHOR I wonder how it feels for hillary, knowing that trump got his nomination democratically and she didn't.

So salty.

His spanish is very good. He has the white guy speaking spanish accent, though, but he's able to switch between both languages seamlessly.

 

[jiggle]

Thanks

Pretty impressive he was able to learn it in such short time

Dude will be absolutely shocked on November 8th when Hilary wins the election.

This column seems like the perfect summary of reactions to the Kaine speech:

[Piecake]

You know it's funny. I kinda realized last night, I'm probably no longer a left wing liberal by the Bernie definition that we supposedly have to live by. But, like, I don't think businesses are evil. And I think it's okay to make money! And, like, the most liberal position isn't always the best one. I don't know if it's me getting older, or if it's because I work for myself now.

I still think I'm totally liberal, but I'm not liberal for the sake of being liberal.

This election really made that clear for me as well. I thought I was very left wing previously (I think I still am!), but my views are apparently quite a bit different than the people who constantly harangue about imperialism, neo-liberalism and evil corporations, and those people are a bigger segment of society and the left than I previously thought.

He lived in Honduras. It's pretty easy to pick up a language when you are immersed in it. Like it actually starts to impede your ability to communicate if you don't learn.

May I humbly and gratefully make a request for someone to Hillaryfy my avatar? I am crap at photo editing. I will forever be in your debt.

 

[Armaros]

Especially in missionary work, which is pretty personal and not just day-to-day common things can just you pick up.

 

[CCS]

I need a Hillary avatar. Or should I keep my current one?

 

[User1608]

Kaine made me realize my hispanic ass needs to master spanish. Cuz goddamn I'm jelly. Seriously though, it's fucking awesome and my mom loves him now.

*Oh hell no some prick made a racist comment about spanish and Dora... 😟

I mean... When you don't fuck it up and roll it out properly, of course it'll get positive press.

Not everyone is Trump.
