I don't want to speak for ML

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Jan 18 '17, 13:00

but I am assuming he is counting the # of Governors and # of state legislatures controlled towards the idea that the party is in the worst position it's ever been in

I want to speak for him! "I'm a lawyer! Blah, blah, blah, I object! Blah, blah, blah, Zubaz!" -- nm - Ender Jan 18, 13:45 1

your IM: Dems are locked out of power in Washington and 2/3 of state legislatures - ML Jan 18, 13:09 21
- And with policies that the majority of the country supports - Reagen Jan 18, 13:12 20
  - Well, and rank stealing in the form of gerrymandering, etc -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 13:19 19

      - The pr arm of the right has been hammering away at this base, I'd say a lot 9f women didn't vote hill over abortion -- nm - Z2G2 Jan 18, 13:51
      - I honestly don't believe that was the #1 reason who won but I could be wrong. - ty97 Jan 18, 13:27 1

    - y'know, whatever the truth of this is, harping on this narrative is totally useless..... - x Jan 18, 13:22 12
      - I'm not harping. I'm also not running. Nor advising anyone who is running. Nor would I suggest anyone running to use this argument to try to win votes. -- (edited) - ty97 Jan 18, 13:26

        Did you see this article from the NBC news today? It basically focuses on the fact that the democrats problem is as much geographic as anything. - pmb Jan 18, 13:28 2

        Which goes back to the messaging point: how to message to more of the people in the spread out space. -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 13:30

        No one here is arguing that it should be the narrative! -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 13:28 4
        
        it just comes up a lot, is all. and i don't mean just here....nm - x Jan 18, 13:29 3
        
        I think it *should* come up a lot. The GOP has in many cases rigged the deck in their favor - ty97 Jan 18, 13:34 2
        
        Hell, the outgoing President was widely known to have gerrymandered his Illinois state seat. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 18, 14:01 1
        
        Well, the Republicans and Democrats take turns in Illinois. - . Jan 18, 14:27

Bench depth isn't any great shakes either when projecting to 2020 but who knows what that Etch-A-Sketch of an election looks like right now? -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 18, 13:01
