As did I.

Just cuz I wrote in Sanders for second circuit doesn't mean I didn't vote clinton. I just didn't want to vote for the incumbent and it was a non competitive race.

Correct the Record.

Holy dysfunctionality, batman! I thought I was just kidding when I said the government would become emptied of judges due to Republican obstructionism.

Democrats typically suffer in midterm years.  It's hard to tell liberal voters in swing states they want to go vote for a conservative democrat senator or governor at the top of the ticket.  You can only get them to vote for these guys if the presidential election gets them to the polls and they just vote straight down the ticket.

But if the republicans block all federal judicial nominations conservative democrats have their perfect issue to run on.  Talk all judges all the time.  Abortion?  Well I think we need to put a judge like Garland on the Supreme Court to decide that.  By the way, Garland was an Obama nominee.  (Yes, Garland will still be a nominee in this scenario).  Illegal immigration?  Well I bet Garland could solve that issue.  Black lives matter?  I'm sure they will once Garland is on the bench!

1) Raise taxes on the rich
2) Nominate Garland. (and after that nominate Obama for the next vacancy)

It's a message that gives meat to the base but plays great with swing voters in states like Missouri.  Hopefully it could keep the democratic midterm losses down to just a couple seats.  And given that gerrymandering loses effectiveness with each year since the redistricting democrats might even hope to pick up a few seats in the house.

That is a strange index.

The biggest problem is that you're locked out of the "Party Financing" perk at State-level and above. No matter how solid your build and play skill is, you can't tank a $50,000,000 hit from someone playing one of the standard two-party builds.

Doesn't help though, that most third-party builds are just for trolling or people who were too edgy and/or obnoxious and got kicked out of the major guilds.

Dude, xxXXxxMcMuffinxxXXxx was literally AFK for half the finals and he was still able to build an organization in Utah despite being naked and like 5 levels behind.  Trump didn't even go for a Party Financing build in the finals this year.  Dont blame IceFrog for the fact that Gary Johnson left his courier in Aleppo the entire game or Jill Stein's inventory consists of nothing but six homeopathic recipes.

And another person believing Hilary is an angel and there is no evidence she ever did anything wrong.

And I'm talking about how people generally exaggerate the positions of anyone who defends those that are shit upon.  For instance your mother is defending Clinton and you are describing her position as a ridiculous extreme.  However you aren't being specific about the position.  Because then it would be a specific statement that you could be judged by.

Was she extreme?  Then name some of these extreme positions.

It's a very common argument.

One person believes, without evidence, that a politician is a criminal.
The other person believes, with decades of evidence, that a politician is a typical liberal.

Naturally the right thing to do is say that both sides are extremists.
