In reply to the discussion: Protesters Hilariously Troll DINO Senator With Inflatable KXL Pipeline On Her Lawn [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)Having a wingnut warming her Senate seat, though, does.
She'll vote with us most of the time. On this vote, though, her voice won't matter, because Obama will veto the thing.
I think that Democrats -- regardless of how they feel on this particular issue -- should recognize the realpolitik aspect of her situation, and just not make life worse for her. But some people just don't see the Big Picture and so they're all chuckling and high fiving over the prospect of losing a Senate seat to a wingnut dangerous asshole who if he gets her seat, becomes "the incumbent" with all the portent of that label.
I just don't understand the yee-hawing and absolute GLEE over the position she finds herself in...if they think her wingnut opponent is going to want to plant daisies instead of lay pipe, they're frigging dreaming. He'd probably root for two or three pipelines.
I just don't understand this place, some days. This thread is a perfect example of the bifurcated nature of this message board. Not in a good way, either.
