At the last DSA social I attended, we had several staunch pro-Clintoners show up and they were welcomed without exception, so I do believe the animus that’s bandied online is just a loud minority on either side. I think our exchange here is more indicative of reality then one million hyperventilating think pieces on…
Spot on! At the beginning of the primaries I was prepared to listen to both candidates and weigh their positions. I did my research as all responsible voters should. Then all the hate Hillary crap started, using
This deserves way more stars. I’m not suffering fools anymore but I’m certainly not shouting them down either. If rabid Bernie folks wanna get on the train, it’s a big assed train. All aboard.
To perceive Sanders supporters as allies of the progressive movement requires that we overlook the degree to which they spent most of 2016 effectively sabotaging progressive causes for the next generation. If they’re willing to own the damage they caused, they can be welcomed back into the fold. But the first step in…
For the anti-Sanders people, quit fighting a war on two fronts. You are still trying to take on Sanders and Trump. The 2016 primary elections are over. The more you rip on Sanders, the less likely his people are going to be on your side moving forward. Sanders people have far more in common politically with the…
There is not a small chance that he may not even be alive in 2020, let alone will run. So it seems like stupidity on the part of the anti-Sanders and pro-Sanders people to keep this argument going. For the pro-Sanders, they need to quit putting all their chips on an old man and find some new blood for the cause.
First of all, lol at your many attempts to make sure the Sanders people don’t flame you. Good luck with that.
Honestly, why not the Greens? Your line of thinking is exactly why shit is never gonna change. If the Dems felt the heat of the Greens (or any other progressive party) having a chance of upstaging them then they would start to actually reach out to the people. The two party system is a sham and every election is a…
It’s not about leading voters to the Democratic side - the Republican nominee for President has won the popular vote only once in the last quarter century (Bush in 2004).
I mean, there is a middle ground between a 4000 sq foot McMansion and a 200 sq foot tiny home.
To be fair, Clinton’s centrism was a necessary correction. After the failed LBJ and Carter presidencies, terrible democrat candidates in Mondale and Dukakis, 12 years of Reaganism, during which time the entire South defected to the GOP, Clinton’s centrism was needed just to prove the Democrats were a viable party.…
The right had none of that to start. Goldwater was just the type of insurgent candidate you describe, came out of nowhere. When he got crushed, the right didn’t fade away, instead the real work began. They organized, they built. Sixteen years it took. But then when Reagan ran in 80, they didn’t just get him nominated,…
Because you’re of the
leftright you can’t see how theleftright works: victimhood.
I live in El Paso and am so sick of someone in Iowa telling me that the border is unsafe and we need a wall. It’s just not true and you aren’t qualified to have an opinion on this.
I think it’s clear to politicians, who know how this all works, that the BCRA isn’t passing, which means there’s no money for tax cuts, which means it’s time to cut bait.
Today I felt like I breathed fresh air for the first time in nine months. My heart is soaring. I’m gonna get so blackout drunk when these fuckers are finally all indicted, it will probably put me in the hospital.
I’m going to go with No. We’re seeing the same thing that’s been happening the past few years, the far left and center left fighting over whose message can better entice middle America, while ignoring local politics, gerrymandering, and voter suppression.
The Obama campaign won in 2008 through a combination of factors, but one of the biggest factors was that the Republican Party was doing very poorly: it was going through a massive corruption scandal and all but its strongest adherents had gotten sick of how embarrassing the George W. Bush Administration was. The Obama…
As a black man who is truly independent in his voting (I clearly skew more Democratic than Republican, but will never join either party) this article is troubling to read. Holding out hope for people on the non-R side to enact change and listen to us (and seemingly only us...) is pissing into the wind. They get our…
