Was it that Kevin called anyone who thinks Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity are actually politically independent "morons" for being, um, moronic? Is that why Democrats keep losing? I'm pretty sure the real reason Democrats keep losing is that the premise is incorrect and to the extent that Democrats have done poorly in the past 8 years or so, that has a lot to do with Republicans lucking into a confluence of factors in the 2010 midterms related to the recession, having and older, whiter demographic base, and thermostatic public opinion then followed by a combination of gerrymandering, voter suppression, and rural/urban realignment institutionally disfavoring Democrats.
Or, it's your pet peeves and failure to adopt your quirky personal preferences. That's gotta be it.
Hoo boy. EA clocking in with #2349. Good job, buddy. Hope those blind spots don't prevent Liberal voters from finding the ballot boxes.

Perhaps Trump could redeem himself by demanding Elizabeth Warren send a sample of DNA to Ancestry.com so they could compare it with their Lamanite database.
In preparation for the 2020 election, I am wondering whether the Republicans might hold hearing about this Pocahontas question. Perhaps the next Rep. Chaffetz and Gowdy clones could compete for how many Pocahontas soundbites they could make for the national news. Fox News would run them nightly.

I’m amused by the refrain from the Right, about the Left: “You’re all dicks so you lose elections”. That sort of irony does have limits.
I’ll just keep voting for adults. At least that seems to weed out plenty of folks right off the bat.

Democrats are chugging along towards a historic landslide right now. It's an odd time to talk about why they are such losers. Conflating "losing elections" with "not popular" is doing a lot of work here in this refrain. Democrats don't have a problem appealing to a majority of people or voters. They consistently do that. They have a problem with where those people are located. This is in significant part by Republican design since the last census. If that's not your first reason why they lose right now, then you're not thinking. This refrain is used almost exclusively by people in bad faith either as a means to criticize Democrats or to demand Democrats adopt their personal preferences. It's not a serious analysis of anything.
Where I'd disagree with you is I see this both on the right and the left, both with the same aim. Offer some facile, evidence-free political analysis as a way of pimping personal political views. Rejecting this doesn't make you a Democrat partisan. It makes you someone who doesn't like BS.

That’s pretty much it. Its not like the folks who make this claim don’t already act as bad or worse than any person across the aisle that they’re pointing at. The amount of projection in play is mesmerizing, at least for that segment who actually believe the claim they’re making. The rest just lack integrity and cannot be taken seriously in any way.

This is what I think of every time someone makes the idiotic claim that the way people talk about each other is why Democrats lose. If that dynamic were real, the Democrats would never lose based on the nonsense coming from the right.
It's just one of those things stupid people say because they like to hear themselves type more than they like to think things through.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

location? yes, location...perhaps if the Democrats appealed to a majority of voters outside the State of California they would have less problem with "where those people are located"?
I understand that Democrats do their best to bus "those people" to other locations....or did you mean that "those people" are located somewhere other than the United States?
