Dems don’t want to win if they can’t win on their terms. So they will never run an economic populist anywhere because they don’t agree with economic populism, and will actively seek to undermine those candidates. They only begrudgingly accept the more leftish candidates after they’ve won a primary. The whole big tent…

I was going to post a response saying basically what you just posted. But I decided not to waste my time because, more likely than not, no one would see it. I mostly get ignored because my views are unpopular here. This site caters its message to the Black elite and doesn’t want to upset the apple cart. The writers…
They’re probably at brunch at the moment. Check back later.
And you know all of this from where? MSNBC and CNN who function basically as Pentagon stenographers? You get your information from foreign policy “experts” who have never even set foot in China, let alone speak Mandarin or Cantonese. Dude, your jingoist, liberal interventionist talking points are so tired and even…
Welcome to the wonderful world of atheism!
Why does China’s influence need to be checked? And what gives the US the right to be the one checking it? Hegemony isn’t an inalienable right. China’s influence is growing because they look to partner with other nations and not dominate them militarily and economically. They don’t overthrow governments because the…
You’re underestimating the allure and power of the Culture War.
When you offer people nothing but more of the same and someone else offers them something, even if that something is lies and magical thinking, what do you think the result will be? Dems have themselves to blame for losing to trump. They blew a wide-open, game-winning layup but blame everyone else for losing and still…
Right. If you’re friends with a racist, classist asshole, you’re probably one too.
African migrants being caged, tortured, and sold in open-air markets in Libya might beg to differ.
Ding Ding Ding! We’ve got a winner folks! A combination of persons 1, 2, and 3 as described by the author. People like you are part of the reason this country is doomed to fail and be tossed in the dustbin of history. You cannot fathom the idea of what a functioning society of people who care for one another’s…
Right. I love how he was able to whitewash the horrors of American imperialism at home and abroad with eloquent words and speeches. Good times.
Wait. When did bringing home troops from a 19 and 17 year-old wars, that have caused thousands of American deaths and possibly millions of Iraqi and Afghani deaths, untold horrors and suffering, and literally trillions spent with no benefit to the American people, become a bad thing? Oh right its because the other…
Yeah! The boot on my neck doesn’t hurt nearly as much if a woman is wearing it. Hooray for tokenism, oh I mean representation!
GTFOH! Before the election was even called centrist and right-wing Dems were blaming their lackluster performance on progressives and not the shitty campaigns they ran. If you Dems really wanted to win you would be trying to attract and make overtures to the largest voting bloc in America- non-voters - instead of…
You really missed the point of the article. It’s not about women at the DOD or a woman president. It’s about how politicians, liberals and conservatives, use representation as a shield and a cudgel. They appoint someone like this with a horrendous record of militarism, but because she is a woman, establishment media…
Framing the Trump presidency solely as a a racist reaction to Obama and not even mentioning the effect of 40 years of neoliberal policy and institutional rot in both parties is, at best, intellectually dishonest, and at worst, cynical gaslighting. Democrats and Republicans are responsible for creating the economic and…
You have to maintain the appearance of meritocracy or else the whole system will collapse.
