Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
This happens every single a time an offensive mon is banned, like clockwork. The Stall scaremongering will always be a talking point, disregarding the present situation of actual stall which is not good.
I'm happy with these bans and excited to see how the next tier drop further shakes up the...
Yes, funding health care for all by taxing the rich is so bad but every other developed country does it so....? Last I checked they're doing fine. Income inequality has grown massively since the 1980's and it's only going to get worse after this tax bill. We'll see if it actually does anything...
The stock market is only cruising off the Obama economy anyways. Once the GOP tax "plan" get put through I expect to see slowdown and even larger economic inequality.
It'll be difficult to woo white working class voters that Hillary lost with taboo words like "socialist" and "liberal" to say the least. As bughouse has said, America is still a pretty moderate to conservative leaning nation. I don't think going far left is the answer. The Democrats just need a...
I never said she lost because she was running too far to the left, what I mean is that the American electorate is a lot less "liberal" then people seem to think it is. I just think Democrats should run a "strong" liberal in 2020 but nothing too extreme is all. Also, they'll need to make sure to...
Democrats should NOT move further leftward in 2020, I think peopel continously underesterimate how moderate/conservative leaning this country is. I don't think running a far left candidate would be a good idea.
Depressing time for America. I don't think Bernie would've fared much better given the way the voters handled this. Democrats have to revamp for 2020 to say the least. I just hope everyone stays positive and remembers to remain kind to each other. The next 4 years will certaintly be interesting...
If anything Sanders running against her lowered her favorability with young people and certaintly did not favors in helping them get out and vote for her in the general. No way did Sanders running against her help her at all in fact I'd say it worsened her. Heard about the potential Washington...
Remember that fivethiryeight's model is also running on a model that the polls may be uncertain and thus tilts a bit more to Trump. Nate (or Harry?) said that if you assume the polls are like "normal" elections then Hillary would still be in the 90's. The electoral college is still very...
NAFTA has been shown to have little effect and what little effect is a net positive. I dunno why people keep making it an issue but it's pretty much a partisan issue now. TPP is a different story, but the details are so vague/we don't really know what'll happen/tons of false information that...
