Dems take back the House.

[ChirpingGirl]

I never said that. What are you blathering on about?

All right, then you did just predict that:

They have the house, it'll be status quo.

You realize that this is a Change in the Status Quo, right?  A contradiction in terms, politically the Status Quo resists changes, that's why there's no Term Limits in Congress, and it took 200 years for the 27th Amendment to go from Ratification to Adoption.

The progressives are AGAINST the Status Quo, that's why they're called the progressives, and not the Conservative Grand Old Party.  Remember that, the next time your impossible attempts to predict political events never come true.

And yet you persist.  Almost as if you're stuck in a loop...

[IrishGirl]

The plot doesn't thicken.  The Dems were expected to take back the House as early as 2016. 

Clinton lost 53 House seats and 9 Senate seats.
Obama lost 63 House seats and 6 Senate seats

Trump lost 27 House seats and gained 3 Senate seats.

History tells us that Trump should have lost FAR MORE than he did and certainly shouldn't have gained seats in the senate.

This wasn't a referendum on Trump, this was a referendum on the left's identity politics.  Ultimately, it was labeling everyone that doesn't agree with them a "Nazi, fascist, misogynist, and Russian Bot," and then, in some cases, arguing that it is OK to hit them, it was attempts to insult people into agreeing with them, it was the response to Brett Kavanaugh that made the midterm go the way it did.

The left needs to change that rhetoric if they want a victory in 2020, because Trump SHOULD have lost more than 27 seats and should NOT have gained 3 in the Senate.  Historically (at least recently) that shouldn't have happened.

[Athos_131]

Perhaps civility only begins when Dems are sworn in? Hard to tell...

[psiberzerker]

This wasn't a referendum on Trump, this was a referendum on the left's identity politics.

...Followed by an ad nauseum regurgitation of the same sLeft RIGHTeous Identity Politics that's so your signature, I saw it coming, in the first paragraph.  5, count them 5 ad-hominem attacks, in 1 sentance, the last 4 attributed to the first.  That's how you know they're leftists, because they call Everyone Who Doesn't Agree With Them, "Nazi, fascist, misogynist, and Russian Bot."

Honestly, it would be so fucking easy to write a chatbot, to just say that, in every single thread.  You're that rigidly predictable.  You start off good, get excited, then forget what to say.  So, you fall back on accusing the phantom Left of saying all those nasty things about you.

Again.

And again.

It's gotten old.  2 years ago.  Change the fucking record.

That is your Political identity now.  You're that girl, the Left always calls a White Supremacist.  That's all you are any more.

Everyone you spar with doesn’t need to be called a racist.  I may have missed it, but I don’t recall joan posting anything overtly racist.  The posts just parrot whatever ideological rightwing nonsense and falsehoods she hears from Fox and Trump.

Okay, you earned that.  I stand corrected, I haven't been reading her posts that long.  (Wasn't even aware that they used to be Pink!)  Looks like she got better at hiding it.

[Jed_]

A.  I said I may have missed it.  And, why would I read things posted before I joined, often years before I joined?
B.  Scanning those linked posts, while I see some latent racism, I still don’t think it’s particularly overt and worthy of constantly applying the label of racist in the same way you would for the Grand Dragon of the KKK.

While I think joan is a profoundly flawed person in her beliefs, exaggeratingly calling everything she says as racist just feeds into the narrative the right uses to call the left extreme and irrational.

Constantly making exaggerated claims and labels is mimicking Trump and his cronies.  That helps them far more than hurts them.  You should reconsider your aiding and abetting of Trump’s agenda.

And I don’t have to go fuck myself.  I have a girlfriend now.

You're the one who keeps commenting about me and saying I said shit I didn't say.

Jebus tap dancing christ you're the most annoying person on this fucking forum right now.  And that is an accomplishment.

From now on I'm going to ignore you unless you say something that actually makes sense.

Make that something you can understand.  There's plenty of people who can make sense out of what I write.  Of course, the assumption is that I just don't make sense.  If you'd bother to read carefully, instead of skimming my posts for what's wrong with them, you probably wouldn't be that easily confused.

Or, give up.  That works for me too.  I know you're intelligent enough to understand this stuff, if you put any effort into it.

Possibly, as I sometimes have to read Psi’s posts more than once to get all the nuances.

Whereas your erudite posts telling me to go fuck myself and eat a bag of dicks merely require reading just the once.

The ones that are complex issues, with nuances.  Yeah, I can only simplify meterorology, industrial engineering, socioeconomics, or the sexual interaction between a compulsive pedophile, and a transgender prostitute so much, and do them any justice.

psiberzerker's posts are opinions.

That's an over-simplification.  I'm opinionated, so I sometimes post my opinions (Qualified with caveats, and the reasoning behind them.)

I also post sexual fantasies, and detailed descriptions of industrial processes.  How a plasma gassifier works is not an opinion, up for debate.  I could say you only post links, but you don't.  You're more than that.
