Not really. Of course taking the right stands are important but just generically saying they're just as valuable as getting something passed is a joke. If you want to make that claim you have to state specifics and then be able to show that it has or will make a difference.

Clearly the Jewish socialist from Vermont was going to unite our racist, stupid, broken nation.
If only the millions upon millions of voters that he lost by amongst the group closest to his ideology would have seen the light.

Hillary will not be choosing her VP
Trump has done it for her, and it is Tim Kaine.

u2democratic was for him as Governor, so that's a good sign. I love Warren (may be better she stays in the Senate), like Booker, and Brown so yeah... whom ever might be best Course that can be argued, too .

I'd never heard of this Pence guy. Can anyone give a brief summary? I'm assuming he's odious to some degree, but is he Tea Party crazy, Trump batshit insane, generic old white guy grumpy, or...?

I'm getting the impression he's a right-wing Christian. So he could lean theocratic, like Cruz.
I remember also reading something when Kaiscich was still running approximately- don't let his mild-manner fool you, he's a serious Christian Right winger.

Look up Indiana's "religious freedom" law that would protect The Christian right to discriminate against gay people by refusing to sell them cakes, sleep in hotel rooms, eat at the lunch counter, etc. At least he lost that battle.

Yeah, he's part of the religious right. When he was in Congress, he also argued that smoking doesn't kill people.
He's supported anti-choice legislation including the full defunding of Planned Parenthood. Basically, the Trump campaign felt they weren't suitably homophobic and misogynistic so they chose this guy.

Essentially, the GOP ticket is one racist and one homophobe.

![]() ![]() Not that here aren't racists and homophobes in the Democratic Party, but the Republicans tend waaaay more to take the cake - moderate Republicans way fewer than before, and liberal Republicans all but extinct?

![]() Are we going to incorporate both conventions into this thread, or have dedicated (separate) threads for each? If we make separate threads we can keep stuff here that might be less (or not at all but still about the race) connected to the conventions.
