Why are we so concerned about the return here? I'd have happily DFAd Navarro. Worst case scenario would be sending down narvaes

2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 02:43 PM) Specifically it's a divide between college and non college whites. Every other demographic isn't even close. Fwiw Republicans typically win white college demographic by a decent amount. If you break it down even more, I think non college white women are close to even but trump's main core of support is non college white men. Yeah this is right. Ugh, so fatigued on demographic splicing in polls. Can't wait for this election to be over. brain is boiled.

2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) Eh. I think the national view of religion is what has really changed here. It used to be pretty assumed that someone's religious views were going to be largely what their political views were based on. I don't think it is a case of this being a step forward towards religion, I think is more of a case of a good portion of the country taking a step back away from religion so it just appears differently. For example, it has been a pretty consistent theme to use the bible as a justification for the separation of the races. It is just today that more and more people have turned their backs on that sort of stupidity. It isn't that this sort of thinking is new, it is that it stands out more today than it used to because it was more commonly accepted. Things like divorce, kids out of wedlock, gay rights, etc all fall under that same umbrella. It stands out more today, but it isn't new. In fact I would argue it is precisely this revulsion towards those lines of thinking that I feel tells me more that people are moving away from those lines of thinking than to it. Otherwise people in large numbers still wouldn't be getting upset about it like they weren't 50, 100, 200 years ago. This is probably true. What is the biggest indicator this election? I think they said college degree was a bigger signifier than gender, religion, anything. Some of that would of course be affected by the age swings, but one thing with the lack of a "third place" like church is the views of people being segregated not by race but by class.

New Ballpark Name
tell ya what, they are probably too smart to buy naming rights, but with their recent move to bridgeport and all, vienna beef park would have been pretty great.

Meh, nobody watches cable news. If they stopped showing it at airports I'm sure we'd all forget it existed. They reflect their audience, the 14 people watching at any one time are roughly 800 years old and live in fear.

Bernstein: Sources say White Sox might be for sale
If Berlin wants to own a baseball team, and one of the lets say 4 nearby teams opens up, it doesn't matter which one he's a fan of. There are few opportunities that come around.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 09:05 AM) Hillary gave them an out on this mess, Obama did too, and I think I figured out why. Republican leaders have been dog-whistling to white nationalism for decades now (this didn't just happen out of nowhere, Trump is just the blacklight in a hotel room), and any of Trump's 16 challengers could've given the same speech, but chose not to. By doing this, Hillary is trying to cause permanent damage in the GOP coalition, where they'll have to completely re-form as something else. They'll reform as something remarkably similar. As long as they don't "sound like trump" they won't be trump. They'll have the same outs they always had. But maybe things will be different.

Shields could lose rotation spot
QUOTE (shysocks @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 09:32 AM) Oh man, I hadn't even thought of the 20 loss angle. He could be the first guy since Maroth of the 2003 Tigers to pull that one off. Before that it was 1980. I don't root for the white sox to lose, but...this is one exception. It would just be so perfect to have a 20 game winner and 20 game loser on the same team.
