General Discussion

It’s great to have opinions, but your posts in this thread are just that. The argument seems to be that she’s not electable because it’s a “fantasy” to think so. How convincing do you think she is not a a viable candidate because it’s laughable that you think she’s not a viable candidate is. Obviously, you do not know that the probability is zero that she could get the win or even get the nomination. You admit reason for bringing up replacing the EC is to show people the “irrationality of many other political fantasies.” You haven’t really shown anything except that you believe we should keep New England and California ready political ideas out of the conversation. I can only infer that you mean to make the argument if we want to have success in national elections, we should not stray too far from the center. That’s a serviceable political viewpoint, but your argument here is just that straying is political fantasy. Calling something a “fantasy”, “wish-craft”, and a “pipe dream” does not make it so. It mainly serves as a rhetorical device to shut down further discussion by denigrating others’ as living outside reality. I’ve seen other posts by you that are enlightening in their analysis. This isn’t one. There seems to be a battle for the direction of the Democratic Party. I’m happy to listen to all opinions and arguments. I just wish people would not disguise unsupported opinions as arguments by putting them forth as self evident to those with their feet on the ground.
