“It also to me seems TONE DEAF—we have lost over 1,000 seats in the past 8 years… all because of this crap,” Handwerk continued. “Let’s get through the next two weeks—but then we gotta figure this out and keep the pressure on. WOW.”“This is some GRADE A Bullshit right here,” Stephen Handwerk, executive director of the Louisiana Democratic Party, wrote in a private Democratic-listserv email obtained by The Daily Beast. Handwerk was reacting to news of OFA’s post-election retooling, which was shared “without comment” to the group of state-level Dems by Crystal Kay Perkins, executive director for Texas Democrats.
This is going to be the real Obama Legacy. The kids coming in after the Millennials are turning libertarian and conservative (Note one of many of these articles all different polling) and there is a legitimate fear in my mind that the liberals have lost the nation for a generation. These are people who are being told on a daily basis that there won't be social security and are being hammered with Climate Change Denial. Fewer of them as they come of age will go onto college I think as well. If they end up center left, I'd be fine with that. Else they can read about streams and rivers in history books And History repeats its self. This article is about Dean and the DNC where the old party guys, including a lot of the Clinton people, HATED Howard Dean. Dean, but the way dropped out of the DNC fight because the DNC is frucking broken rotten and a waste of time and money for anyone that wants to fight. Eleven fucking years ago, nope not bitter and angry at all. Dems are going to lose 5-7 Senate Seats and at least two governors in 2018. They are going to lose at least one more statehouse. And come 2020 when it is time for the Census and redistricting, you will cry in vain for the shitshow we have now compared to what is coming.Critically, the Movement 2.0 team envisioned AFO as a tax-exempt organization that would operate free of the Democratic National Committee.
Dude. That's a poll of 14-18 year olds asking if they preferred Trump or Clinton. What do you, as a 15-year-old, know about Hillary Clinton besides Benghazi and email servers? What do you, as a 15-year-old, know about Trump other than The Apprentice? "The kids coming in after the millennials" are still kids. They're as plastic as can be. "I just found an essay I wrote when I was 10. It sounds exactly like President Trump." I mean... if you want to lose your shit over where eleven year olds are politically, I can't stop you. And yes - the Democratic Party is a disjointed, terrible pile of shit right now. But the next couple years are likely to be mighty clarifying for the Dems and mighty divisive for the Reps.The kids coming in after the Pesky Whipper-Snappers are turning libertarian and conservative (Note one of many of these articles all different polling)
Crap wrong article. Queue the "I have a meme image" here. The poll I was looking at was kids born in 1995-1997. Those kids are sophomores and juniors in college now. trying to find nowDude. That's a poll of 14-18 year olds asking if they preferred Trump or Clinton.
I'm curious where this information is from. I was just watching a Rachel Maddow piece where she says that Democrats are coming out of the woodwork to run for office in places where Republicans went unchallenged in the past. It's toward the end of this video. Democrats See New Zeal Among New Candidates Rachel Maddow I'm wondering if this information is already in your estimate.Dems are going to lose 5-7 Senate Seats and at least two governors in 2018. They are going to lose at least one more statehouse. And come 2020 when it is time for the Census and redistricting, you will cry in vain for the shitshow we have now compared to what is coming.
I think the Senate map favors republicans in 2018. Several democrats from conservative states who were elected either in 2006 or 2012, which were big democrat years, are up for reelection. I personally think it's too early to tell. Obviously the GOP has a gigantic structural advantage across the entire federal government, but mid-terms almost always cost the president's party seats. And we haven't yet seen how much people hate this president. Even with their gerrymandering advantage in the House, and their structural advantage in the House and Senate, history predicts the GOP will lose seats. Trump is kind of ahistorical however, so who the hell knows what could happen.
