very pro-corporate and pro-Bank

Which candidate for anything anywhere isn't beholden to a higher power than themselves and I am not talking about God.

If the Democrats hope to unseat Trump, they better find a candidate that can get to the "base" in the same way Trump can and pay more attention to the economics in the middle of the country. The coastal cities will take care of themselves - nothing there to campaign for.

If the Democrats cannot cough up someone other than the already announced or thinking about including Bernie and Joe B, they might as well just concede the election now and save the money for another day.

Long read but quite worthwhile, if you support the Democratic Party or just want to confirm what you already knew/thought about the 2018 election.

To Take Back the Map, Democrats Need a Plan to Revive Heartland Cities

To Take Back the Map, Democrats Need a Plan to Revive Heartland Cities

Here's the plan:
• Change laws/regulations such that everyone is automatically registered to vote unless they specifically opt out.
• Change laws/regulations whereby everyone encountering the DMV is automatically opted in to receive a ballot by mail.
• Chane laws/regulations such that "volunteers" can go door-to-door asking/cajoling/begging/bribing people to complete their ballots so that the volunteer can hand deliver them to the voting office. ..."Oh, you're too busy? Just sign the ballot envelope here and I'll fill it out for you. Here's $20. Have a nice day!"

Here's something I find amazing... You get a standard ballot paper in the mail that you don't sign and that does not identify you in any way. You fill it in and place it in an envelope. You sign the envelope and mail it back (or give it to a vote harvester). Once the ballot is removed from the envelope, there is no way to determine which ballot was voted by which voter. So, there's no possibility to verify anything. Ballots could be substituted and there's no way for a voter to know their ballot wasn't replaced with a different ballot even though their signed envelope was retained.

Yes the mail in ballots could not be less secure. The only thing you’d need to game that system is an army of Leftist “volunteers” or a few billionaires willing to contribute covert cash to an army of temporary workers.

I’m fairly sure that this happened in California. Voting day results completely changed on several key ballot issues by twenty point swings once mail in ballots were “counted.”

They can't, because what their Coastal Tech/Finance Masters want is the exact opposite of the Heartland.

We need to STOP registering people to vote at DMVs until Real ID is enforced in all 50 states... meaning your citizenship status is encoded on your D/L.

Mail In Ballots must come with a photocopy of your still valid Driver's License or State ID with your current voter address, stamped by a Public Notary. If it doesn't match, FLOOSH! Vote is tossed away.

No naturalized citizen over 18 cannot reasonably not possess a Social Security number or State ID/DL or Both. How did you apply for a job? Checking Account? College Loan? Benefits? Cell Phone?

If they can schlep their asses to the Nike Store and shell out $120 for sneakers, they can get these important documents.

Trump / Haley 2020?

The heartland is under attack too. And with your taxpayer $$$s. Thanks Obama. (Not!)

"Between 2010 and 2016, the number of immigrants in the United States increased by 9 percent. The foreign-born population grew by 15 percent or more in 15 states: North Dakota, West Virginia, South Dakota, Delaware, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, Alaska, Indiana, Florida, Nevada, Washington, Iowa, and Maryland (listed from highest to lowest growth rates; see Figure 1). Approximately 9 million immigrants, or one in every five, reside in these 15 states."

Trump / Haley 2020?

I thought the same thing, but wondered if maybe Trump was planning to leave after one term and make it Spence/Haley.

If the Democrats cannot cough up someone other than the already announced or thinking about including Bernie and Joe B

I believe it will be "white men need not apply" for the Dem nomination. Including Beto.

Note that I didn't specify which Trump...

Ugh! No more nominations of offspring or wives of ex presidents. No more Bush, Clinton, Obama, or Trump. Let each person win based on their own accomplishments.

This is exactly the problem.

Democrats were at one time the party of labor.

Now they are simply the other party of the bosses, and arguably have been much worse than Republicans since deciding on a strategy of yelling RACISM! at anyone who mentions the devastation of the middle of the country which directly followed from the Democratic policy of globalization.

Here is the calculation:

Kamala is running on the female vote. With more female voters than men voters, plus the soy boys and cuks who believe it is a woman's turn, Kamala has a strategy. This is why Kamala took the lead in blasting Gorsuch at the Supreme Court hearings. I doubt Kamala believed anything that came out of Ford's mouth or that Gorsuch was a predator in any way, but play acting the champion for survivors made good politics appealing to women. Expect Kamala to bang the drum of women's issue from now until election day. Kirsten Gilibrand is of the same exact cloth, and got her start by blasting fellow Democrat Al Franken as a twofer - getting a potential rival out of the way, plus building up her feminist hero credentials.

The only thing in Senator Harris is my penis inserted in her cavernous vagina.
