2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBill and Chelsea talking in Iowa
behind them is a banner that states "We will maintain". Is there anything more obvious than that? Maintaining the status quo will kill the party and hurt everyone, even the wealthy. But, by God, let's not strive for anything better.
Disgusting!

Politically speaking this is horrible strategy. When only ~15% of the population shows up in a caucus, they don't who show because they want to maintain the status qua. Even if you convince the voters that this is the correct path, most will decide not to show up.

(146,364 posts)you did after smoking some on your way to visit your parents. It was important to "maintain" in those circumstances. Same thing if you got stopped by the Highway Patrol for driving too slowly on your way to your parents' house. Maintaining was a skill one learned.
The definitions of words tend to change over time, I guess.

(11,573 posts)remind me of the very, very sincere Mississippi woman who once assured me that "We Shall Overcome" was a call to African Americans (not her word) to slaughter or enslave whites and initiate the United Communist States of America.
I do so love the fanciful flights of Camp BurningPants.
