We "took it over from the inside" with Obama and we ended up with DWS as the DNC chair and this disaster for our trouble.

I'm done supporting this stupid loving party. the cloistered fucks running the show aren't paying attention to their constituents or the national pulse. They're closing the windows and turning on netflix and expecting us all to join them in their collective delusion. We have an honest to god fascist about to take power and the best we can do is post dank memes and whine about the electoral vote.

now is the time, dont you see? the evil clinton monsters have finally been defeated after 30 years. the time to strike is now, before they hoist another one on us

I saw people in D&D talking about how thousands of people are gonna lose their jobs when self-driving trucks become a thing. My thought is, why not just go ahead and ban self-driving trucks?

why do you feel it was part of some kind of conspiracy vs just a problem in the system or whatever, especially if your area still went Sanders?

It wasn't "some kind of conspiracy", it was actual directives from DNC leadership to push the election towards the favored candidate. This isn't a matter of speculation, it's a matter of historical record. Where is this even coming from, Tatum?

We argued at the time whether or not this was morally correct, but even before the DNC hacks most of us at least had the decency to agree that it was occurring. We KNOW it was occurring now. This isn't a matter for debate.

FWIW I (still) don't think it impacted the results of the election besides maybe the margins Hillary won by but it's pretty willfully ignorant to deny that some shady business going on.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I don't think it's possible to claim that the Democratic primary was unbiased when there were super delegates pledging votes before the first primary was held, and the media would show bar graphs showing one candidate with a huge lead over the other because of pledged super delegates.

I don't think that means it was rigged, but it's undeniable that there were a lot of thumbs on the scale.

That's luddite thinking. The better way is to say, hey now instead of having to sit on your rear end for 12 hours a day in your truck. You can sit on your rear end for 12 hours a day from the comfort of your home because we are going to implement a GMI and UHC with all the savings automation will give us.

We could, but that still leaves the underlying problem that capitalism demands everyone be working all the time (assuming they're not a plutocrat of course) but also gives an edge to companies that lower worker pay and adopt technologies that reduce their workforce.

Basically, we could ban self-driving cars, but we should really just cut to the chase and ban capitalism.

I mean you don't have to sit on your rear end. That's the best part. If you want to get a job and enjoy some supplementary income, you can! The important part is that you don't HAVE to.
