Left-libertarianism is good. I didn’t level it at her as any kind of insult. Noam Chomsky is a left-libertarian. People flip out over words these days: The soul of liberalism is about a leftist centralized and cooperative economic structure combined with social freedoms and democratic fiat.

No, because doing so necessarily shifts the party to the right. It makes issues like universal health care and living wages seem far-left, instead of at the modern global center where they truly are. The DNC was labeling simple socially-democratic proposals as “fantastical” and “impossible” for the entire last year. …

Sure, but certainly she could independently offer to run recounts and the like. At this point, she’s a third party entity just like Stein. Anyone could chip in to recount the votes. Stein is, after all.

“Fake news” shouldn’t work on liberals, because liberalism should involve a heavy dose of skepticism and critical thinking. I agree fake news is working on the Democratic Party’s most loyal consumers. But I’d hardly call most of them liberals, at this point.

How much more did Sanders need to say “vote Democrat” for your to have accepted his loyalty to the DNC?

Aight, I get you guys hate Jill Stein around here, and third parties in general. You’re loyal and it’s great.

Yeah, and? For as much as you despise her, she’s still a liberal and believes that the tenets of democracy are the most important.

You may be surprised to learn that “workers” are not all white men. In fact, most workers are not white men. The DNC could’ve talked about the economy, helping the working class, and raising the minimum wage. Talking about raising the minimum wage was not racist. Clinton’s campaign could’ve added it to her talking…

Notwithstanding, I agree with you. Just a bit grumpy after seeing the top posts around here, repeatedly searching for someone to scapegoat for the DNC’s campaigning. Yours wasn’t one of them, though.

Do Sanders supporters want to rub anyone’s noses in the failure? The top comments on every blog post around here are from Clinton supporters, licking their wounds and trying to listen for their echoes bouncing off the ever-shrinking walls of their tea room. On this blog entry, these supporters’ top comments complain…

Thanks pal! I used to go by many many names. I think we’re acquainted.

Clinton was absolutely the victim of sexist bullshit. Not just this election, but her entire life.

You’ve got a mighty large chest, Steven.

I agree. Clinton wasn’t a bad candidate, but she certainly wasn’t populist and her campaign team was comprised entirely of idiots.

Which person said “focus exclusively on white men next time”? No one.

Eh, I’ve been around. I was browbeaten into submission during the primaries, fought the good fight for Clinton in the general, worried about each mistake and called them out in turn, but ultimately stayed loyal to the party. Of course, if you even thought about voting for a socialist in the primaries, you’re among…

The flavor of Jezebel lately has been “circle the wagons” and “we ran a perfect campaign”. As goes our comments’ section, so goes the nation, I always say.

The Dems had fewer African-American and Latinx voters this time around, many of whom are also workers. The Democratic Party never made it clear how Democratic policies help workers. Not a particular variety of workers, but all workers. When wages decline, workers vote for specific policies that bolster wages and…

Here’s our plan, from what I can tell:

In fact, I think it was your camp who said “Just because Bernie is doing okay in the primary doesn’t mean he’d win the general election.”
