he's a guy that looks kinda like bernie. there were several people tied to clinton pushing that pictures of bernie being involved in the civil rights movement/chicago housing thing were not actually him but some other dude. even though there were other pictures showing it was bernie and when the sources of the pictures were contacted, they also confirmed they were bernie.

the primary person pushing this was a journalist that was in a relationship with a high level clinton staffer.

paste magazine is questionable at best but thats an ok overview of what went down

"As it turns out, this was easy. Capehart’s live-in partner is Nick Schmit, who was the travel compliance director for Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign, worked with the Clinton Foundation before that, and had a job in her state department. (Shockingly, his LinkedIn profile appears to have been recently set to private or deleted.)"

I guess the only answer is to take it and make it work. Maybe it fails, and maybe they will, but I doubt they have that plan now. Hubris got us into this situation, a genuine ground-up grassroots movement is almost certainly the only way out. If a true and renewed democratic party of real every day people can't get us out of this, pretty sure were hosed whether they take it back or not.

So if that is their plan and I don't believe it is yet, we ought to make sure they're way too loving late.

Why exactly is your clinging to leadership and power after your way fails to work better or more justified than them doing the same thing? Shouldn't you, in the case of a loss, be as willing to hand over the reins as you expect them to be?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Management_Relations_Act_of_1947#Anti-communism

They were so good at organizing strikes that it became illegal for union heads to be part of the communist party. Labor went downhill and lame and bent the knee to Dems ever since

That was ruled unconstitutional not long after Taft Hartley.

The real damage to unions was done via the outlawing of solidarity strikes, general strikes, and wildcat strikes and the absolute massive amount of bureaucracy and legal challenges that were introduced to organizing campaigns.

Union organizing is now an uphill struggle at every stage of the process (and that's even assuming a functional/sympathetic NLRB like what we have right now) and we have no real muscle via the loss of our striking and solidarity actions.

Fun fact: the UFW is exempt from the Wagner Act/Taft Hartley. Cesar Chavez was so successful in large part by taking advantage of this.

they rarely have shows run by women and the most recent set of shows to be announced had no women showrunners

which is like, okay but then the guy who actually runs Adult Swim ran out to defend it as if it was okay, rather than just an aberration

also they have that alt-right run show which continues to be run and not immediately canceled after they realized the showrunner was an alt-right fuckwit

brett gelman is a loving dumbass, every show at adult swim (even rick and morty) has woman writers. and producers. and animators. half the loving shows on their stream are hosted by women, yet mde exists and mike lazzo said some dumb poo poo so better burn those bridges. meanwhile women purposely apply to work at williams street because its far away from the toxic chauvinism of hollywood and they're treated like actual people

also something tells me he's not gonna stop cashing checks sent by Actual Rapist Harvey Weinstein
