I am not saying that they are losing on purpose. I'm saying that they are making decisions about policies and candidates based on fund raising rather than on attracting voters. On purpose or not, they did shoot themselves in the foot by courting disaffected Republican voters. Everyone knew they were not going to win a lot of those voters, but they sure did rake in a lot of dough. I believe that is their primary motivation.

It is absolutely clear now. The DNC is a private company whose main function is to fund raise, period. If they also win an election then that's great, but if it comes to a choice between winning and raising money, they will choose raising money. They will never move to the left to win voters if it will cost them fund raising opportunities from the center and right.

Particularly since they're looking at produce. Who's going to pick that produce after he starts rounding up immigrants? White people? Good luck with that.

Florida and Georgia have both had crops left rotting in the fields after they enacted draconian policies about immigrants. Now we're going to see supply plummet at a national level and prices will skyrocket. They'll blame Biden for it what it happens.

And once we have one of those, mind as well build a mass driver at the top so rockets don’t have to carry so much of their own mass.

You wouldn't even need a mass driver. You have to build your space elevator so that it's center of mass is where you want it to orbit. Logically, this needs to be at geostationary orbit so that the end point on the ground stays in the same spot. That means you can extend the other end of the elevator to twice geostationary orbit. Lift a mass from the ground to the far end of the elevator and just let it go. It will be flung away out of earth orbit because it'll already be moving faster that orbital velocity at that height. You're limited in the direction you can fling it because it will be flung off by the Earth's rotation, but you don't necessarily need a mass driver.

Perhaps the username The Moron was already taken.

There have been no reliable claims that he has actually fucked chickens. However, he has not denied that he has fucked a chicken either so I guess I'll upvote your post.

Just like this Idaho state senator who told his American Indian opponent, "I'm so sick and tired of this liberal bullshit. Why don't you go back to where you came from?"

Really? If Trump tries and fails to fire him, then this guy is going to find himself in Gitmo, or maybe Trump will just send Seal Team 6 to kill him. Immune.

Not really immigrants. That's just the dog-whistle. It's minorities of every kind they hate.

People who did not vote are not participates!

People who cannot vote, are not participants.

People who chose not to vote when they were able to are. They made a choice and this is the result.

Oh you sweet summer child. Didn't you know that the DNC and RNC are private corporations? They don't have to show you anything and there is nothing you can do about it.

The court recognized that the DNC treated voters unfairly, but ruled that the DNC is a private corporation; therefore, voters cannot protect their rights by turning to the courts:

"To the extent Plaintiffs wish to air their general grievances with the DNC or its candidate selection process, their redress is through the ballot box, the DNC's internal workings, or their right of free speech — not through the judiciary."
