More GOP Bullshit

https://www.denverpost.com/2025/03/11/lauren-boebert-pimp-cane-al-green-resign/

The GOP would never apologize, step down, or show any contrition for anything they would say or do.  The feckless leadership of the democrats rolled over on this guy afterwards.

Democrats demands

Who knew that trying to actually help Americans would be considered obstructionist.

why Democrats lose

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/schumers-supreme-court-saga-not-over-as-gop-presses-forward-on-historic-censure

Constantly letting the GOP reframe the argument. It is why they always lose. Always playing defense. 

Considering what Schumer said, and how it pales in comparison to the things out of Trump's mouth, the GOP pushes, and he cowers and bends. Typical Democrat.

If the GOP really cared about what he said they would have censured their chief more than once.

I am sure there is going to be lots more complaints, whistle blowers, etc. in the months to come. Personally, I can not wait

2020 democratic funding sources

This was a little neat map to play with.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/02/us/politics/2020-democratic-fundraising.html

While Mr. Sanders has a sprawling list of donors nationwide, geographic dominance does not necessarily translate into a cash advantage of the same magnitude. Just as population density differs in urban, suburban and rural areas, the number of people who donate to political campaigns also varies widely based on geography.
Ranking as the top Democrat for individual donors in a densely populated urban area is far different from leading the field in an area where few people are donating to campaigns.
For example, Ms. Warren has more donors in a single ZIP code in Brooklyn than any candidate has in the entire state of Mississippi. Mr. Buttigieg has more donors in a single ZIP code in Washington, D.C., than any candidate has in South Dakota.

Trump is on something of a roll

Wake up, Democrats

Trump’s best issue is the economy. Last week’s employment report showed sharp job growth, led by manufacturing. There are caveats: The distribution of rewards is grossly unequal, and growth has been pumped by deficit spending.

Computers destroy Democracy

Big Data Supercharged Gerrymandering. It Could Help Stop It Too
https://www.wired.com/story/big-data-supercharged-gerrymandering-supreme-court

Take what happened in Wisconsin. Republican lawmakers in the state hired a political science professor to devise a regression analysis, which selected the district map that would benefit politicians from their party the most. In the next election after the map was passed into law, in 2012, Republicans won less than half the votes, but more than 60 percent of assembly seats. (The Supreme Court declined to rule on the case and sent it back to a lower court.) In her dissent, Justice Kagan pointed to similar partisan redistricting efforts carried out in Ohio and Pennsylvania around the same time

They should get rid of all of super delegates, if they want to embrace the grassroots part of the DNC.
