I'd love to join your organization, and then immediately schism off into a vanguard party that represents the true ideals of Socialism.

Some of the actual leaders of the leftist wing (who were literally handed the party after last Tuesday's absolute rout) just lined up behind Schumer and Pelosi, the leaders that led them to that rout. You gotta give it to them, they are loyal.

euphronius posted:No they get that for going to classes and performing the class work. I don't think you get credits for playing a sport. Maybe a couple. at penn state you get three credits per semester right off the top for playing a sport. Then you take athletes' seminar for three more. Then you take general ed courses for athletes where the coaches are teachers and you have to write maybe a three page paper per month. Then you take gym geneds for more credits. And then for the three-six other credits, the team either leans on the prof to give you an A or you take classes with easy or nonexistent tests and an equipment manager/tutor does all of your assignments. My friend played volleyball and majored in bioengineering and her teammates thought she was insane for it

DrProsek posted:There's a whole bunch of Hillary supporters now going back and saying "the only reason she lost was because Bernie Sanders ran against her in the primary and corrupted her campaign with too much socialism. If she had gone into the general with a clearer vision for America (see: even more neoliberal than she ended up being) she'd have won, this is all Bernie's fault!" I stopped reading after I read this garbage: "And Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016 was as rigid and empty as it was when she lost in 2008. Still, Sanders helped Clinton lose. His insurgency pushed her too far left to prevent an effective re-centering in the fall, while goading her into wooing different constituencies rather than uniting the nation." Which is to say, I didn't read much at all.

You gotta give it to them, they are loyal. I'd say it was the utter arrogance and incompetence of the Clinton campaign that killed us the hardest this election and if nothing else Schumer and Pelosi have the kind of experience in Congress that four years of gumming up the works and trying to stall the Republican agenda is going to need regardless of whether the Dems go Neoliberal or Progressive.

Democratic Senator says he's gonna back appointing Sessions as AG. (It's Joe Manchin, of course, but still UGHHHHH.) Also gonna quote this thing I posted in another thread, in case anyone here might have an answer (beyond 'lol, yes they are'): Apraxin posted:For the love of god can someone tell me where to find info about meetings in PA. It's a swing state, the party here is active and has a swishy website and frequently updated Twitter/Facebook, and yet the only upcoming thing on their calendar for the whole state is 'Dec. 6th: ERIE COUNTY DEMS HOLIDAY PARTY @Pineapple Eddie's Southern Bistro' and the links for local chapters in Philly direct me to this goddamn mess of a site where the last event is from mid-October (and was a $150 per head RSVP cocktail party, so I get the idea this isn't exactly the place for the grassroots to meet). That can't be it, can it? They can't be this badly organized and opaque?

I don't think they're really that bad, but the people running local stuff really have no idea how to make themselves known to the world and the State and national party don't give a poo poo. I don't think I have the slightest national clout, but I have a few representatives I can bother, maybe they'll be able to help me out with making this a priority for the national party. Sorry your local party sucks  It might be an opportunity, if you make the right phone calls, you can become the grand poobah by default.

euphronius posted:I have no dog in the fight but uh absolute rout? HRC won the popular vote. The popular vote is meaningless garbage though. Running up the score in deep blue enclaves doesn't help further the aim of regaining control of the government. I hope that 270 EV compact never gets off the ground, because you absolutely should not be able to run the country with only the support of coastal cities. I would be down for a Voting Rights Act Mk2 that forced apportionment of EVs by popular vote in states with histories of voter suppression though, to make the South worth campaigning in for Dems. euphronius posted:Or didnt advance imperial agendas in teh region Bring back isolationism until we don't have third world shitholes inside out own borders. If we need to save money, spend less on the military.
