tnc says 'reparations are as unlikely as uhc in 2020 so you may as well talk about both if it's a question of likelihood' while simultaneously claiming sanders' platform is well inside the overton window

it's a confused argument

I think you're conflating separate parts of his piece. Things like $1 trillion in infrastructure spending or uhc is super unlikely, but the rhetoric of investing in the inner city is the portion that is inside the overton window. Though Republicans are hoping to change that, I'm sure.

america isn't ready for a full on wacky radical so this isn't surprising.

yeah that's tnc's point, even today an outlier candidate from the left of the democrat establishment who is supposedly willing to throw out all sorts of impossible policy solutions once it comes up to an issue that is framed explicitly in racial terms that all of a sudden becomes well, that's not workable

its really less a critique of sanders himself than american politics in general

i think tnc's point is that sanders is running as a wacky radical but when that radicalism runs up against issues whites in particular are adverse to all of a sudden he is more pragmatic

I think the premise that he is a wacky radical is pretty flawed though, beyond messaging, and there is still a problematic tension there about trying to present bernie as being more radical than he is while simultaneously claiming he's not

I think there's just too much readiness to accept certain premises about bernie because it's convenient to the argument

he's pretty radical, just not on things it's not politically good to be super radical about, like israel and stuff like that. but the positions he'd advocate from on foreign, and economic issues are pretty to the left of public discourse.

HRC is a weird case because they advocated for Gay Marriage and no law was passed it was just the Supreme Court going " gently caress it , there is gay marriage every where now". If they would lobby to change the ADA to be inclusive of persons who were transgender that would be a huge step forward in LGBT rights.

I'm not even arguing that they're 'establishment', I'm saying that when every other 'establishment' force he's 'taking on' is say, Wall Street and the banks which he intends to regulate and use his power to punish for misdeeds, I'm curious what that implies about groups that represent minorities to get lumped in with them.

light armor is good to start with because you can make it with pretty much anything. and i like to do one-handed swords after that, since they can be light enough for even weaker people to hold one and a shield at the same time (having shield defense is crazy useful).

make sure your crafters are always making poo poo, so that you're always getting more research points. you can see how many you'll get from making a thing when you're putting the recipe together!


shielding is really good even on powerful characters since it can be put onto other characters via support commands, and also helps prevent injury in protracted combats.

HRC basically is campaigning for LGBT rights but are not pushing the ADA angle for persons who are transgender because they're kind of a cisgenderish organization.

drone strikes are literally the only non-diplomatic engagements obama has had with the world outside of libya and isis. bernie over the last 8 years would've been like, drone strikes against isis, and that's it. that's pretty goddamn off the wall for the us.
