No, there is common ground. They also voted against themselves. It isn’t about race, but it is certainly about class. Race is the issue that is used to divide us and it works, then we snipe at each other and no one realizes the real problem or turns their attention to fighting the real enemy. I have nothing in common…

But the moderate left should just continue telling the far left to put up and shut up. It works really well, keep it up.

A lot of those people are working people who are desperate. They’ve already had harm done to them. Not being a registered democrat isn’t something that should be punished. There was a real chance to reach out to them and bring them into the fold. The first step in organizing is to find common ground and build on it. I…

Rachel Maddow is a neoliberal idiot.

I’m a member of a teacher’s union in PA. I’m not a registered Democrat, never have been, never will be. One of the (many) reasons is that my union, along with many other unions in this country, have seen our leaders throw support behind one democratic candidate after another, only to see them do nothing to help our…

Oh good....I was worried you were going to blame the people who voted for Trump but you’re right, it isn’t their fault.

Here in Philadelphia, for years, no matter Andy Reid’s success, Cataldi and company bemoaned the fact that after the great Buddy Ryan was fired, Fisher wasn’t handed the job, because he obviously would have led the Eagles to multiple Super Bowl’s. They were still making this claim as of 2007, at which point Jeff…

The one thing you didn’t note though: Only 1 of the 10 coaches is UNWILLING to put up with 7-9 bullshit.

He loves the college game though.

Just the Flyers, because Kate Smith’s version helped them win a cup 42 years ago. It’s been good luck ever since!

Why is that Keith?

Off topic, but I’m at a Sixers game a few weeks ago. There were about 15,000 there to see them play the Hawks, probably based on a combination of Embiid fans, and the fact that people who bought packages to see the Cavs/Warriors/Thunder were forced into including the game in their package. Time comes for the national…

My wording is not way off. Maybe I read Chris Hedges way too much, but the word liberal to me = neoliberal. North Philadelphia, where I work for example, has not seen any of the positive impacts of the policies of Clinton. It has, however, seen the impact of mass incarceration.

I think the left should also start really worrying about the quality of people we elect to those offices. The neoliberal Democrats who have been in power since the early 90's are not the friend of much of the working middle and lower class. There is a gap the size of the Grand Canyon between Rahm Emanuel (who is a…

Yeah again, I don’t think you understand what I said. I’m criticizing the people who will do nothing to fight back and just sit and complain and hope other people take up the fight.

I would venture to say that many of those protesting were already involved. As for the others, I would say this: there have been many issues over the previous eight years which needed attention. There has been a successful assault on reproductive rights waged at the state level, while I don’t blame him at all, voting…

Yeah, we’re on the same side. The issue I have is that many self-described liberals think that voting every so often and signing Moveon.org petitions is activism. They complain and complain, but when it comes down to it, they won’t do anything more than click a mouse a few times (thanks autofill!). These Iphone…

I’m also really encouraged by the liberals who have spent the past eight years patting themselves on the back for voting for Obama twice. They are ready to spend the next four years complaining and blaming rather than becoming involved in anything aimed at making changes at all.

Neoliberalism.

Durham is a terrible company. I know it doesn’t compare, but on my way to work everyday, every damn day,there is a Durham bus that tears through a four way stop. I have called and reported it to the company five times over the past two years, nothing changes.
