2020 election

[Haumana]

What about the senate and house in 2020? What's the forecast? Is it too early to discuss?

It's too early to discuss/forecast 2020 presidential but that doesn't seem to be slowing the roll at all.

VDH lays down another good one about the current POTUS season:

How Animal Farm is Playing Out in the Democrat Party

The new generation has forgotten that the now graying Obama once had the audacity to invite Kendrick Lamar into the White House. He also celebrated as his official portrait painter Kehinde Wiley. Remember the former was lauded for his album-cover showing a dead white judge, with eyes x-ed out, whose demise was being celebrating by toasting rappers on the White House lawn, while the latter for a while had a cachet of taking a couple of Old Master paintings of decapitations and redoing them with black decapitators and white decapitated—e.g., “It’s sort of a play on the ‘kill whitey’ thing.” Was that not revolutionary enough?

No, no—that was yesterday. Today the revolution has passed over the once-edgy Obama (“bring a gun to a knife fight”). Now to the Left he sounds more like a crabby Bill Cosby ranting about falling-down trousers.

. . .

Now the revolution cannot figure out its own hierarchy of authentic grievance groups. So it has agreed on a loose “intersectionality,” in which over a dozen and often overlapping victim cadres agree that each degree of non-white-maleness adds authenticity and become a force multiplier of left-wing radicalism.

Among leftists, Kamala Harris, as black and female, trumps Cory Booker who is just black, who trumps Elizabeth Warren who is exposed as just female, who trumps Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders who are reverse threefers as white, male, and heterosexual. None of the progressive revolutionaries ever stopped to ponder whether much of the country targeted by the new racialism might not like it and mirror image this sad descent into tribalism.

In such a revolutionary scramble to be the most diverse and hard left, the logical trajectory ends up with a race to transcend the physical limits of victimhood. Think of the devolution of French anti-monarchists to republicans to Girondists to Jacobins—and on to Napoleon. Or remember how the anti-Czarists aristocrats were overwhelmed by Mensheviks who were crushed by the Bolsheviks as Lenin radicalized everything prior and in the end his Soviet became Stalinized.

Now, that is good writing. Read the whole thing.

[The Conservative]

Rumblings in the DNC that the Clinton Machine may be in the process of getting out of mothballs and started up again.

[Speaker to Animals]

She said she is not running.

[C-Mag]

She said she is not running.

Saw that. Too busy morning of the coincidental tragic deaths of friends and acquaitances I'm told.

[StCapps]

She said she is not running.

No politician has ever said that and changed their mind, oh wait.....

She'd be smart to stick with that decision, and probably will, but just because she said she wasn't running, doesn't mean she's not running.

I will read it. You should read the article on the doomsday thread I posted from counter currents . It's on Hadit social psychology and it's political conclusions .

She said she is not running.

These are the Clinton's they quibble over the meaning of "is." There is only one definitive way to say your not running. Quote Sherman or Johnson, that's it. Look at what she said, she is not running and at the time of the question being asked she isnt running, it does not mean she is closing the door.

[MilSpecs]

If she declared, it would complete the country’s descent into political insanity. There are reasonable choices on both sides right now. No need for the crazies and the creeps.
