<Pinkbeast> They sound rather trigg^W annoying
* UmbralRaptor was reminded of a tweet. Something like "hi, I'm a white cis-het teen. I use 'triggered' to refer to literally every emotion except horny."
<Iskierka> ... I feel like if it didn't have the psychology definition triggered would actually be a pretty good name for horny
<UmbralRaptor> Hah
<Pinkbeast> My somewhat distant memory of being a cishet male teen disagrees in that to be triggered something must first be untriggered
<Pinkbeast> Mr Gruff looks pretty content with his dressing gown and coffee really
<UmbralRaptor> Drinking coffee while reading things sounds like a good Sunday morning.
<kmath> <peg_mclaugh> They just called it. @carterforva won. Congratulations to all of the amazing @dc_dsa folks who put in the hours to… https://t.co/3IDQGkPaTh

<UmbralRaptor> That's a lot of anapsids.
<kmath> <HeerJeet> The candidate she defeated was, I believe, author of an anti-trans bathroom bill. (Am I right on that? https://t.co/Vf7Z7XTExC
<kmath> <_Jon_Green> [whispers] if Dem socialists and trans women can both pull off decisive wins over R incumbents maybe we don't have… https://t.co/HT7WH4l3zE
<Iskierka> how are the results going so far?
<UmbralRaptor> Apparently quite well. Dems are looking at going from 34 to 46-52 (of 100) seats in VA house.
<UmbralRaptor> Maine was on track for medicare expansion last I saw.
<Pinkbeast> Reversing quite a longterm trend there, I think?
<UmbralRaptor> yeah
<Pinkbeast> It's too much to hope that your lot have in general noticed that Trump's a quimbecile
<kmath> <DemSocialists> Many congrats to DSA members JT Scott and Ben Ewen-Campen on their wins in Massachusetts! https://t.co/69P0qvWXJy

<UmbralRaptor> The problem with Trump is that establishment dems might run in 2018 on him failing to get the Muslim ban or wall working.
<UmbralRaptor> Which is, uh, silly.
<Pinkbeast> There's a fine line to be trod there in pointing out that a) it was a bad idea but also b) he couldn't do it, indeed
<Iskierka> it's definitely worth pointing out he couldn't do it with EVERY governmental majority he could want
<Iskierka> at the very least it might dishearten Rs to not vote, if not gain votes
<UmbralRaptor> Needs to be done carefully/not in a way that endorses ethnonationalist policies.
<Iskierka> certainly it would be far more effective for the dems in general to acknowledge they're way behind the average left-wing voter, and instead of try persuade moderates, persuade the far left to actually want to vote for them
<UmbralRaptor> The party leadership is still fighting Reagan's ghost.
<kmath> https://twitter.com/AP/status/928096425048772608 <AP> BREAKING: Maine voters expand Medicaid in statewide referendum seen as bellwether for support for the Affordable Care Act.
<UmbralRaptor> Apparently this is in a form that cannot be vetoed by the governor (this happened multiple times in the past)
<kmath> <JasonKander> Flip Alert ?➡️?! Congrats to @letamericavote-supported @Tanner4Delegate for turning another VA Delegate seat blue!… https://t.co/8fD1eSk5FJ
<UmbralRaptor> Oops.
<kmath> <chunk_widebody> Excuse me I need everyone to see this picture of Danica Roem immediately https://t.co/dMmLkXUqJp
<Pinkbeast> Mind you, funny shape guitar
<Pinkbeast> Dear transmission, I marked half this torrent "low" priority; you have downloaded 48%. The "high" quarter", 9%. "Medium", 2%. What gives?
