The main one is the automobile, steel, and manufacture moving out of the US.
I got to go.
Okay have a good one.
Real life stuff.
Indeed, more important.
serious question, is the democratic party going to survive? perhaps in name only is I see a restructuring...
Barring any unforeseen disaster, I think they don't retake control of the house/Senate and get blown out in 2020. The 2020 loss will lead to reform of the party
Basically, I think what Styx thinks on this
what dan and styx said
Styx said it first. I go to Styx when I need to know what to think
link to said styx video?
@LotheronPrime he says it over several videos but the general idea is in this video https://youtu.be/1nNzxR1FINY
ahh ok I thought it was a specific video
I'm willing to bet the Democrats atleast take the house in 2018. They'll probably just double down further.
If the Republicans can catch new voters would be the real question. The majority of the Democratic party will stay intact.
I'm also skeptical of Trump winning 2020.
In part because I'm not sure the economy holds together that long.
But mostly because the Democrats just have energy and can play opposition.
So will the majority of the republican party, likely. Keep in mind the study that showed a majority of his voters had little to no exposure to the internet, what lost the democrats 2016, will lose them 2020 for sure, Democrats don't have a strong candidate (out of those they promote as potentially being such) and they often take no interest in going to the areas less affected by media exposure.
At this point, I think most of the voters the Repubilcans are going to shed will have happened by the end of the midterms, so I'll agree there.
That's an if though, we'll have to see if they can produce a competent candidate.
Because their taste was observably flawed.
I'm looking at you, Mrs.Clinton.
I honestly can't think of a candidate more flawed than Clinton. I don't think it's possible for them to make that mistake again.
Like, literally would be impossible because it doesn't get worse.
If they manage it, it will be a very fun year.
IDK, I'm more focused on the midterms. People badly underestimate how much things like the house and governorships matter.
How the midterms play out will have direct effects on 2020.
Like, Mueller would have a completely free hand and go wild if the Dems take the house.
I don't know much about that, being Canadian. What I do know, is that Trump is the average american president, I still don't get how he's so different to his predecessors
He irritates all the wrong people and doesn't know how to handle his mouth, mostly.
All in all, he doesn't really do that much.
And his positions are fairly centrist, all things considered.
Exactly, he is the model American.
-_- cuz he can't handle his mouth?
about what everybody else expects, to be honest with you. I don't know many people that really care, when americans act like that. It's pretty much how america started, ask someone on the street if they find vandalism wrong, then compare it to the boston tea party. People who run their mouth have a place in this world. And the constitution is built to preserve them.
Personally, I'd like to see a couple more long rifles in that case...
😉
@pratel nah dude, as an outsider looking in and from what I know of America if the democrats continue leaning into socialism there is 0 chance of the Democrats winning.
ESPECIALLY if the Republicans capitalise on this exact thing and the illiberal nature of socialism/communism.
I'd be inclined to believe you, but we live in unusual times. I've also seen weirder things. Romney in 2012 polled better on basically every issue but still lost hard.
