I didn’t mention Hillary Clinton once in my comments. In fact, though I did support Sanders in the primary I worked my ass off to get her elected. But we lost and I’m not interested in 2016. I’m talking about the Democrats lack of strategy moving forward. Also I didn’t argue in favor of Obama’s everyman appeal, I just…
I think the true torpedoing was the Carter Administration. They re-gained the Southern vote then congress totally buttfucked Carter while he had absolutely no idea how to deal with it and voila, Reagan.
The Dems have chosen how to find and it’s the Clintonian Triangle: Selling out your base to steal the opponents’. But once again, we’ve seen that this only works when your candidate is legendarily charismatic.
Boring yawn.
Fuck off. The more information comes out, the more you’re proven to be full of shit. Over six million who voted for Obama went to Trump, and why? It wasn’t because Bernie! Edit: Let me guess, though. “Well they were sexist!” amirite?
Counterpoint: all that’s actually on YOU and your shitbag candidate that couldn’t convince more people not to vote for donald fucking trump.
The reality is that much of the Democratic leadership would rather have a president Trump than a president Sanders
The reason Hillary lost has been repeatedly stated over and over again. She was not an energizing candidate. Yes- I voted for her because the notion of Trump winning turned my stomach. But even though I am a fairly hard-left leaning Democrat I could never bring myself to be excited about her. She lost because Trump…
Your point is only valid if you think BernieBros (in the worst sense of the term, not the generic catch-all as some people use it) were longstanding Democrats. They were not. These people probably never voted. They were never in the bank of the Democrats to start with but could’ve been. So to state that BernieBros…
The current political conventional wisdom says that the Democratic party is facing a choice about its future…
So, we say the “Golden Rule” is to treat others as we would like to be treated, but I say that there is a “Platinum Rule” that we should treat others as they, themselves, would like to be treated.
See? Colder = happier. (And of course, they all have healthier doses of Socialism)
Most people do not understand the difference between pleasure and happiness. There are some pleasures that lead to happiness, but most people are simply self-centered in the intention and execution of the acquisition of pleasure. Ultimately, capitalism is the act of creating profit off of the work or lack of…
Ah, good point. Well, thank God. In a country where about one-third of the citizens aren’t eligible to vote, and that struggles to get half its eligible voters to the polls even for major elections, only a third of the country supporting a fascist dictator isn’t a big deal.
I can’t speak for the rest of you, but here’s my list:
“The top five happiest nations on earth are Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland, and Finland...
It’s when I see things like this that I like to point out that making life so much harder for poor people will most assuredly NOT make them go away. The fact is that we have always had poor people, we always will have poor people, and making life so much more difficult for them will do nothing but drive crime up and…
