Subjective morals isn't solved by God. It just moves the problem back one step.

key part of this chart: "among speech watchers". SOTU addresses are watched mostly by those who like the current president, so the independents who did end up watching it are most definitely those who are already trump-leaning anyway.

he's had a couple of good weeks, no doubt about that, but I would still caution to not get carried away based on one poll.


That's a good analogy. I think the problem with Pelosi is two-fold: she's really great at doing Congress stuff, at maneuvering around House rules and protocol and keeping her caucus under control etc. And there is no one better for this job right now.

At the same time, however, she's absolutely atrocious as the unofficial leader of the party. Normally, the presidential nominee should assume this role, but since the primary is a clusterfuck with no clear end or winner in sight, Pelosi remains the public face of the party, and she's horrible in this particular role.

lol glad someone caught that

Strong women in government really face a hard balancing act. They have to be stone cold bitches to get the respect of their colleagues, but in doing so they take a ton of PR shit.

just do porn if you want respect and PR tbh

well, then it should be easy for you to explain how it's "the highest", and how that affects the average american in a positive way, buddy. don't be shy...

how do you weigh the massive deficit that trump's tax breaks for millionaires and corporations created against the buyback sugar high on the stock market?

do we consider the massive drawbacks that his short term 'solutions' (like simply deregulating fossil fuel for example) have? how the long term costs (that will of course be 'socialised') of this will dwarf any short term benefits (which are largely 'privatised')?

i mean, it's quite easy to see how his rich buddies are profiting from trump's economy, but what about the average american?



funny you'd mention that, because the part about the debt crisis was missing from that glowing job review.



fair enough, my bad.

The problem with her as the public face of the Democratic party is not that she's a woman, the problem is that she's awfully out of touch with both the middle of the country and with younger leftists. She's the definition of a limousine liberal, she's a bad speaker, she has the charisma and the energy level of a piece of bread, and she's associated with a variety of polarizing events and moments in politics over the last 30+ years. Her gender is the least of her issues.

lol heinrich went on a rage essay about an article from 2017 in response to the gallup poll from today lmfao!!!
