The case concerns Arizona voting laws that are unfairly discriminatory. For more information about Brnovich v. DNC see LINK yeah, because I guess adjusting your party platform to appeal to a broader electorate is way more difficult than just suppressing classes of voters who you don't care to support. maybe the dems should start suppressing rural voters. put a law on the book like polling centers must be within 10 miles of a 100k city.

I'd support taking away the right to vote from anyone with a "Salt Life" sticker on their truck.

Contemplating running for President but not actually doing it gets you attention, fealty and the ability to claim all legal cases are political hit jobs because the Democrats fear you as a candidate. It's perfect for a lazy narcissist. Trump's a lot of things and intellectually lazy sure as F is one of them. But lazy, lazy? That dude is tireless, an energizer bunny of malice capable of wearing out the entire country. Running for potus was his favorite part. Nonstop rally tour and TV bishfest? Oh he can do that everyday of the year if you let him.

March 3, 20214 yr Did you catch Trump at CPAC urging supporters to give to HIM and not the GOP. Quote "There’s only one way to contribute to our efforts to elect ‘America First’ Republican conservatives and, in turn, to make America great again,” Trump said Sunday at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida. "And that’s through Save America PAC and donaldjtrump.com.”
March 3, 20214 yr Really interesting read about the weakness in the Democrats' minority base. Quote I’d say this: The decline that we saw was very large. Nine percent or so nationwide, up to 14 or 15 percent in Florida. Roughly one in ten Hispanic voters switched their vote from Clinton to Trump. That is beyond the margin of what can plausibly be changed by investing more in Spanish media. And I don’t think a shift that large can be plausibly attributed to what was said in WhatsApp groups or not buying enough in YouTube ads. I think the problem is more fundamental. Over the last four years, white liberals have become a larger and larger share of the Democratic Party. There’s a narrative on the left that the Democrats’ growing reliance on college-educated whites is pulling the party to the right (Matt Karp had an essay on this recently). But I think that’s wrong. Highly educated people tend to have more ideologically coherent and extreme views than working-class ones. We see this in issue polling and ideological self-identification. College-educated voters are way less likely to identify as moderate. So as Democrats have traded non-college-educated voters for college-educated ones, white liberals’ share of voice and clout in the Democratic Party has gone up. And since white voters are sorting on ideology more than nonwhite voters, we’ve ended up in a situation where white liberals are more left wing than Black and Hispanic Democrats on pretty much every issue: taxes, health care, policing, and even on racial issues or various measures of "racial resentment.” So as white liberals increasingly define the party’s image and messaging, that’s going to turn off nonwhite conservative Democrats and push them against us.

My immediate thoughts: It is(was?) assumed that most Latino/AA/minority voters would follow along with liberals in the Democrat party. This is certainly not the case. There is a similar left/center/right divide among those voters as any other race. If Democrats move too far to the left, they risk losing minority voters to the Republican party. I find highly educated voters' views are not so extreme, not as much as blue-collar/working-class voters are dishonest about theirs. (I guess that is what he means as ideologically coherent.) They might be in favor of M4A, or gay marriage, but don't try to convince them they are liberal views. I disagree that white liberals are defining the Democrat party.... To me the party seems to be more diverse than ever. That's both a good and bad thing. The tent is bigger, but it makes them more wishy-washy on issues.
March 3, 20214 yr 9 hours ago, DrPhilly said: Trump is back as POTUS tomorrow right? Been looking forward to this for a long time. MAGA tears will be flowing. Quote The theory posits that no American president has been officially inaugurated since Ulysses S. Grant in 1869. The conspiracy theorists claim a law was passed in 1871 that secretly turned the United States into a corporation, making all presidents after Grant illegitimate. The notion has its roots in the "sovereign citizen" movement, a separate but overlapping class of conspiracy theorists that claims, among other things, that the federal government is illegitimate, that sovereign citizens shouldn’t have to pay taxes and that sheriffs represent the highest legal power in every county.

I mean let's be fair here - the biggest problem with the Democratic party is that it has always been wishy-washy. It is now more egregious then ever because of the advent of 24 hour news coverage and the internet.
