The State of the Democratic Party Post-2016

[San Lumen]

Yeah those people in the Puget sound region should have their vote count less than yours. Your rural county should get to decide the statewide officials and control of the legislature even if your candidate loses the popular vote statewide.

I live in Olympia, stop with the stupid shitposting

FYI your county is very blue

Yes, I know. What's your point?

[Corrian]

San Lumen, you might want a sarcasm detector and stop taking everything so seriously. It's kinda sad.

Yes, it will be.

So you'd be fine seeing Republican keep Congress and many state governments next year and Trump reelected?

Nowhere did I say that.

It will still be fun to see what happens in 2018.

I'm the one that actually lives rural here.

Yes, I know. What's your point?

So when you've talked before about King County and other populous counties deciding statewide elections and have hinted certain votes should count less then others what were you referring to?

I don't pick up on sarcasm very well.

San Lumen, you might want a sarcasm detector and stop taking everything so seriously. It's kinda sad.

And/or stop reducing political viewpoints that aren't yours to ridiculous caricatures.

Especially since you, San Lumen, seem to have a hard time distinguishing between views real people actually hold and talking points for lunatics.

98.5% of Republicans don't want to turn back the clock to the 1950s, let alone the 1830s. If the only way you can interact with other members of the political debate is to accuse them of views they definitively do not hold, don't be surprised when they don't treat your views seriously.

My god, stop with the goddam strawmanning.

I haven't hinted shit, your reading comprehension just sucks and you project that view onto everyone. Yes I dislike Seattle and it's politicians, most of the people I've met in WA do. No I don't think my vote should be more (though if it was I'd have fun voting for totally nutty candidates) than someone else's.

I didn't know conservatives lived in the Pacific Northwest. Quite surprising.

Yeah, Oregon went like 40% GOP this election cycle...

Plus, WRA isn't a conservative. He just loves his guns.

Reactionary, whatever.

Have you even looked at a map of Oregon or Washington before? Both of these are during landslide 2008 victories.

>mfw people take my jokes seriously
I mean, I know exactly what it's like to have people assume an entire state is full of people with only one political ideology, as a Utahn. I wouldn't do that to somebody else, it's annoying af.

Get outta here, you friggin Mormon.

Also, it's NSG. I'm pretty good at detecting jokes, but fuck man, some people 'round here are pretty humorless overall, just sayin'.

True.

Oh boy. You're a reactionary WRA.

*Braces for the machine gun guy to get triggered*...

I don't actually think he's a reactionary, geez. Does anybody have a sense of humor around here?

"Support the GOA instead of the NRA"
WRA is that new?
I coulda sworn you were an NRA backer.

If WRA is a reactionary than I'm a fucking monarchist.

We can go back even further. 1789 would be acceptable.

>"Does anybody have a sense of humor around here?"

It was a joke, but it seemed like a joke based in misinterpreting my comment as serious, or WRA doing so. But anyway, I'm starting to prove my own point by dissecting this...

I don't like organizations that peddle in far-right conspiracy theories.
