    I just want a god damn dude like Boss Tweed from gangs of New York running the Democratic Party so we can actually put policies into place.

    "I don't care who does the electing, so long as I get to do the nominating."

    I don't know how to do that. I know it needs to happen though.

    So lets say republicans bring it up what would your ideal candidate do? Do they backtrack or do they make it clear that everyone including blacks and browns should have access to clean drinking water?

    I prefer a candidate that'll do the latter otherwise you will lose those who you're trying to advocate for.

    It just seems like our answer to the question of "why don't we have any fucking power and how do we get it back?" Is just wait for racist people to die off or gerrymandering or get people who don't give a shit about politics to vote in mid terms, etc" It's all shit that's never gonna happen or is gonna take decades to happen.

    We want to act like rural white people dont matter because we outnumber them. That's the bottom line. And obviously our system of government plays into their hands.

    Hillary was fucked from the get go. It's a big reason I want a complete nobody to be the democratic nominee next time.

    But this is more a comment on nationwide politics than just presidential. We'll probably win the next presidential election, but we need power across the board or we'll get the same bullshit obama had to face.

    The only way we do that without changing the marketing is if trump straight breaks the Republican Party. It might happen but I'd rather it not come to that because it'd mean a lot of poor people suffering.

    Thats 3 standard deviations from the average. 0.1% of the population. Albert Einsten or Stephen Hawking tier smart, from a guy that seems functionally illiterate.

    Delusions of grandeur. Needs to see a therapist.

    "A delusion of grandeur is the fixed, false belief that one possesses superior qualities such as genius, fame, omnipotence, or wealth. It is most often a symptom of schizophrenia, but can also be a symptom found in psychotic or bipolar disorders, as well as dementia (such as Alzheimer’s).

    People with a delusion of grandeur often have the conviction of having some great but unrecognized talent or insight. They may also believe they have made some important discovery that others don’t understand or appreciate."

    Nope. Just trying to figure out why anyone with real estate assets generating NOI with an implied 50% cap rate of the appraised fair market value would suggest that their disproportionate real estate tax burden is the responsibility of anyone but himself. By way of background, my company acquires and operates multi-family real estate assets - we are the 2nd largest firm in the US in our asset class. It's no effort - it's what I do everyday and you're welcome for the free advice.

    Whats changing marketing going to do? Whats the matter with Kansas was published in 1996. These people having been voting against their own self interest for decades.

    Power structures are shaping opinions here. The local church and Fox news will continue to tell people, "Stalin had a consumer protection bureau too." Regardless of message, right-wing media will continue to use "social issues" as a divide and conquer tactic. That weapon isn't really dependent on democratic messaging. Democrats are already labeled as "starbucks drinking, jigaboo loving lady boys."

    You can't get the Comcast "government is bad" guy to actually read The Wealth of Nations. "Oh shit i thought this was a book about a magic hand, this commie talking regulations for laborers!"

    In 1860s Russia, there was a radical student movement called Narodniki (to the people). They left the universities and went and lived among the peasantsto teach them how bad the Tsar was. But the peasants thought the Tsar was god, and the Secret Police (or in our case Fox News) went around telling everyone that Jewish students were coming from Moscow to gather Christian babies for sacrifice. Sometimes its not about conveying a better message. People are stupid. Really really fucking stupid.

    “The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.”

    The Facts
    Warren faced intense scrutiny of her purported Native American heritage after her Republican opponent and then-Senate incumbent Scott Brown used her claims to question her integrity. Brown aired ads questioning Warren’s background and attacked her during a debate over this issue.

    Warren has claimed Cherokee and Delaware Indian heritage, citing family stories. She did not have any documentation of her Native American ancestry to prove it, even though Cherokee groups demanded it.

    For weeks, Warren struggled to own the narrative, giving more fodder to her opponents. Our colleagues on The Fix wrote in detail the twists and turns of her response, including a reference to a relative’s “high cheekbones” at one point. Warren explained that “being Native American has been a part of my story, I guess since the day I was born, I don’t know any other way to describe it.”

    A genealogist at the New England Historic Genealogical Society initially had said there was documented evidence that Warren was 1/32 American Indian, alluding to a family newsletter that had indicated her great-great-great grandmother was Cherokee, the Boston Globe reported early in the controversy. But this point was later corrected, as neither the Globe nor the genealogical society had proven the existence of that document.

    Exhaustive reporting by several different outlets surfaced no official documentation that Warren was Cherokee. But whether Warren is fractionally of Native American descent especially if the fraction is something like 1/32 is hard to prove without a DNA test. And even positive DNA results would not be useful for tribal affiliation or to obtain a Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood, according to a report in the Atlantic:

    “None of this to say that a Cherokee citizen couldn’t look like Warren. Though it confounds many people’s expectations, the Cherokee Nation considers being Cherokee as much an ethnicity as anything racial, and given the tribe’s centuries-long history of intermarriage there are many Cherokee citizens today who do not look stereotypically Native American. As well, “there are a lot of folks who are legitimately Cherokee who are not eligible for citizenship,” said [Lenzy] Krehbiel-Burton, [spokeswoman for the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma] because, for example, their ancestors lived in distant states or territories when the rolls were drawn up, or because they are direct descendants of people left off the rolls for other reasons.“

    Brown had accused Warren of using distant Native American ties to gain an unfair advantage in getting hired to coveted faculty jobs at Harvard Law School and University of Pennsylvania Law School. He said in a debate during the 2012 campaign: “[Warren] checked the box. She had an opportunity, actually, to make a decision throughout her career. When she applied to Penn and Harvard, she checked the box claiming she was Native American, and, you know, clearly she’s not.”

    The Fact Checker dug deeply into Brown’s claim from the September 2012 debate, and awarded Two Pinocchios. We found no proof that she ever marked a form to tell the schools about her heritage, nor any public evidence that the universities knew about her lineage before hiring her. Still, we found that Warren’s relying on family lore rather than official documentation to make an ethnic claim raised serious concerns about Warren’s judgment.

    In September 2012, the Boston Globe tracked down members of Warren’s family to corroborate her claim. But family members offered mixed opinions. The Globe wrote: “In the absence of documentation, the family’s link to any Native American tribe is a matter of narrative inheritance or folklore, as Warren puts it. Even if Warren has some degree of Native American blood, it is unclear if it would meet conventional standards of what constitutes a minority.”

    In her 2014 book, “A Fighting Chance,” Warren wrote about the controversy over her heritage:

    “I never questioned my family’s stories or asked my parents for proof or documentation. What kid would? … I was stunned by the attacks. How do you prove who you are? My brothers and I knew who we were. We knew our family stories. But the Republicans demanded documentation and, back at the turn of the century, nobody in my family had registered any tribal affiliation. In Oklahoma, that was pretty common. But knowing who you are is one thing, and proving who you are is another.”

    This explanation is consistent with her response in her 2012 campaign ad responding to Brown’s attacks.

    Wiki is saying "In April 2012, the Boston Herald sparked a campaign controversy when it reported that from 1986 to 1995 Warren had listed herself as a minority in the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) directories."

    I guess that's messed up if she is mostly white, but Rs aren't doing themselves any favors with the insult.
