we vote for banners like twice every year and then they don't get changed any way so
That's because they're all kind of lame. Come up with good designs and they will get added.
I wouldn't exactly call what we have now "good"

but his rhetoric has allowed the alt right and radio tier talk to come into the mainstream
I'd argue that what he isn't saying regarding alt right groups, white supremacists, and people like David Duke is as consequential as what he is saying. Just my two cents.

In all likelihood, absolutely nothing will come of this at all.
The DNC will not be replacing Clinton, at least not yet. Any discussions and meetings held on the issue would likely be a contingency plan in the event that her pneumonia worsen - unlikely, but possible. Until then, the DNC will likely be working on a way to get this story out of the press and refocus on issues around the Trump campaign. I also question the validity of Schuster's source on the issue, as no other journalist or media outlet has been able to corroborate the story at all - they all refer back to his single tweet.

but even listening to the audio it just seems crass and insensitive to me.
Not a real surprise coming from the man who's first tweet after the Orlando shooting was "Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!"
He's right, though. What's wrong with what he said?
After news breaks that 100+ citizens of a country you want to lead have been shot, your first public announcement should not be "Appreciate the congrats on being right...!" A correct response would be offering condolences, directing supporters to resources to assist, etc. That's what a leader does (or should do). Had anyone else in political office done that, they would have been lambasted to high hell.

It's pretty much the 'not our problem' platform.

But please, let's make this a national scandal while Trump gets away unscathed with saying much worse.
This shouldn't be a case of "Well, he said some stupid shit, but this guy over here said worse!"
No. They both said stupid shit, and should be equally reprimanded for such. And that goes for Stein and Clinton as well.
It's the difference between saying the numbers of the Holocaust are exaggerated versus saying the Holocaust never happened. As far as stupid shit goes, not knowing what Aleppo is when foreign policy has never been a platform in your campaign isn't even that bad.
If foreign policy isn't a platform in your campaign, for a job as the Commander in Chief of our military, you might want to look elsewhere in government.
Candidates for the Presidency should be focusing more on the military, and not on basic policy.
Some presidents have focused more on foreign policy, some have focused more on internal issues.
And that's fine and dandy - but the President will never dictate or create policy, so the fact that we deal with these elections where analysts and campaigns spend millions defining the difference in policy beliefs against your opponent is ridiculous. But, that's beyond the scope of this thread. Johnson is still an idiot, as is Trump, as is Stein, as is Clinton. You mean she wasn't able to turn haters into elevators?
Clinton, for as much praise that people think she gets, actually has dealt with a fair amount of negative media since she announced. I'm gonna kick your ass to Shanghai if you don't shut up.

It's all about tone. We all know damn well if Hillary asked that they would've been more lenient in their reaction. It would've been a less aggressive "WWHHAATT?!?!?!?!"
Probably not, because if a former Secretary of State didn't know a key city in relation to a war, you damn well know every media outlet would be breaking that story as quick as possible. Clinton, for as much praise that people think she gets, actually has dealt with a fair amount of negative media since she announced.

I had no idea what the city was called, You aren't running for elected office, especially the office of the Presidency - you know, the Commander and Chief of our military. So while you may choose to be ignorant, that doesn't mean Johnson can be as well. I just knew a city was at the center of it right now. There's actually a handful of cities "at the center of it", including Damascus, Homs, Aleppo, and Al-Raqqa. MSNBC is a cancerous piece of shit though for being so rude about his lack of knowledge. "UGH ARE YOU SERIOUS?" They're rude for doing their job as a media outlet, and calling out a candidate for President on not knowing a pretty crucial piece of information related to a conflict that we're a part of in some form? Just cause your candidate of choice is in the wrong doesn't mean that it's everyone else's fault.

... his legacy has already been thrashed.
Domestically, his legacy is fairly solid. Internationally, not so much
Bush was just trash all around.
Obama is widely considered to be a good president in the West though. Not going to speak for Asia, Russia and the Middle East, but he's pretty popular here.
You Europeans aren't the concern though. Yet, at least.

Or the fact that he lowered taxes 14 times in his state and still left office with the state in a surplus and with new everything.
Not saying he didn't do these things, but the guy was Governor of New Mexico over a decade and a half ago. Let's not act like he was Governor of California or Texas last year. Since 2003, he hasn't held any form of elected office.

Find all the Info HereRESULTS: The proportion of pediatricians reporting parental vaccine refusals increased from 74.5% in 2006 to 87.0% in 2013 (P < .001). Pediatricians perceive that parents are increasingly refusing vaccinations because parents believe they are unnecessary (63.4% in 2006 vs 73.1% in 2013; P = .002). A total of 75.0% of pediatricians reported that parents delay vaccines because of concern about discomfort, and 72.5% indicated that they delay because of concern for immune system burden. In 2006, 6.1% of pediatricians reported “always” dismissing patients for continued vaccine refusal, and by 2013 that percentage increased to 11.7% (P = .004).
CONCLUSIONS: Pediatricians reported increased vaccine refusal between 2006 and 2013. They perceive that vaccine-refusing parents increasingly believe that immunizations are unnecessary. Pediatricians continue to provide vaccine education but are also dismissing patients at higher rates.
Any thoughts?

I find it odd that they have to reach 15%. They're the only other party that has a registration in all 50 states. THAT should be requirement enough if you ask me. Keep the 15% for outsiders like the Green Party or some one off Independents.
I mean, I'd prefer it if it were "Be on the ballot in all fifty states/enough states to hit 270 and you can debate". I don't make the rules though. Doesn't Johnson need 5% come election time for the Libertarians to get equal news coverage and debate stage time next cycle? I'm not sure the exact percentage. Ask Verb, he's shilling for Jill to hit that threshold. It annoys me the media isn't as invested in them, because I know damn well it influences the race on who they cover. I bet you the majority of Americans haven't heard of him.
To be completely fair, the majority of Americans likely can't even name their elected representatives.
