i, too, enjoy roleplaying as a rich liberal decrying economic leftism as impossible and want to push the shame-based politics narrative on people who aren't Identity Politics Enough

if the establishment are a bunch of part-time socialists that's an improvement and better than it is now and probably must work our asses off to make sure it doesn't backslide. (see DPP thread for details)

Uh, I'll just quote myself from elsewhere:


Also, neoliberal policy is distinct from neoliberal theory. The theory's some antiquated business from the early 1900s. The policy's a class project of the rich that started in the 1970s with the Powell Memo:

yes, the point is that both parties are fundamentally liberal at outlook, the main difference is that democrats think the market is acting irrationally when gay people can't buy a wedding cake, and it needs a correction to run more efficiently

part of the reason why the 2008-2010 poo poo sandwich happened was because corporatism wasn't seen as quite the bad thing as it is today, especially with the dems, but unions/civil rights leaders learned that way back in the 80s and the only people who helped them were a hot mess of independents, the loudest dems that the DNC wanted to put away for being too "leftist", and the ACLU. i could count the amount of times the democratic party was responsible for voting in something that involved "actually giving a poo poo about actual people" on one hand, with noncommittedness like that it's no wonder people stop voting or in rare cases, go full nihilist and spitevote themselves to literally dying

that tide needs to turn as soon as possible and it's nice to take breaks from arguing with pearl-clutchers to help with it

Another Great Recession, and only a President Stalin could utilize socialist ideas.

How about we start by not nominating millionaires for any political power seeing as how they obviously are too out of touch to relate to the like 60% of this country that doesn't give a gently caress about politics because they know that it's run by millionaires.

Hard to say you're a party for the working class when your party leaders and officials don't do jack poo poo for their 6-figure salaries and all live in gated community shelters far away from the dirty poors.

One would think with the death of the Blue Dogs in 2010, someone, anyone within the party would have seen the writing on the wall, but yet here we are. That said, as horrible as this moment is and without pulling any accelerationist/silver linings bullshit, maybe, juuuust maybe, the disaster that was Hillary's campaign and the DNC mindset it championed will be enough to shake something loose.

Then again, hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

the democrats stopped being the party of the working class (and minorities) since the 80s, and only last decade did they think of giving lip service to the latter and only in the form of ~more minority ceos~ from the same reagan school of thought to the point where any democratic party organization that doesn't involve gated fucks has all but evaporated. the loss of the rust belt was a long, slow burn that appeared to reverse with obama only to be the wettest fart because corporate interests honk honk.
