Okay, Ill add a bit more.
Im right about demographics and our changing society. You can deny it, stick your head in the sand or hold your breath and plug your ears. Wont make a bit of difference. Change is coming and alienating those closest to us wont help keep up the numbers. Thats just the way it is.
The reason you are losing the society game is because you arent playing the long game and the Left is. And you are losing for sure.
The thread was started due to the hate exhibited towards Californians who a simply trying to follow the laws they are saddled with. There is hate and polarization exhibited here every day.
Hey cback, tell King if my roof is on fire, well we're just gonna have to put it out and get back to the rest of life.
I'm at a loss here. When did I ever say that demographics are not changing? Don't we all know that dems of the past would have little use for most of today's Republicans, because they're too far left?
Just to be clear, are we thinking that the long game for conservative leaning folks involves occasionally voting for a dem? If not, this is meaningless chit chat, right? For me, I'm not thinking about approaching political differences from a position of hate, but boy oh boy, if we repeat it often enough, it must be true.
I see interesting 'media' pieces in recent days. President Trump was visiting, go figure, Billings Montana last night. The large venue was packed, but the crowd was well versed on and responsive to the issues. Contrast with that with the 'protesters' outside of the Judge Kavanaugh hearings, the knuckleheads have no idea why they're there, what their signs say, let alone who is leading them to believe in a handful of talking point catch phrases. And, your long game involves reaching out to these folks? Of course not, maybe, but RM Bill mentioned he's not concerned in the least bit about the progressive billionaire bank rollers of these 'spontaneous protests'. Try working with them, eh, are they gonna fund a spontaneous pro 2nd rally with dupes that actually have their brain hooked up?
Yup, the media's broken. Most of King's colleagues this morning are raving about dem booker invoking race and risking his entire career to shed light on his so called secret documents. Of course, he failed to mention that he made an impossible request to declassify the papers just the night before, and his forgettable ploy was accommodated at the speed of bureaucratic light. Here's the future of the dems, part of our long game, eh? Wouldn't you think it's a great thing that the good citizens at the Billings rally have half the sense to see past all the 'hate and polarization'?
Back to kali, I'll repeat like a broken record. It takes about 270 electoral votes to elect a US President. Without counting a single popular vote, as soon as the polls close, most media spots the dem to a 55 vote lead, 20% of the way without breaking a sweat. Is part of our long game to pat them on the back, and convince them to drop their all or none electoral vote allocation? If you can do it, I'll show the love for that state again, eh?
