No, it probably didn't matter in the end that the DNC and the media colluded to torpedo Bernie. But it easily could have mattered and next time maybe it will. If that doesn't seem like a problem worth discussing to you then eat poo poo.

The media is one of the things hillarymen are blaming for Clinton's loss as their coping mechanism anyway; I agree it is time for a frank and open discussion of their many many flaws, starting with thinkpieces about "bros"

"Ok, actually criticizing this candidate didn't work and is a non-starter, but have you considered that everyone who likes him is someone you hated in high school? Remember high school, Democratic primary voters? What a scary time! And believe me when I say that the people who made it scary like this man! And that's bad! If you vote for the candidate who lines up better with your political views, Zack from East Valley High class of 1985 will win! You can't let that happen!"

I accept my sixer, I have poo poo to do today anyway

e: the Bernie people on my facebook feed were like "Here's an inspiring video! A better tomorrow is within reach, guys, we just gotta belieeeeeve, here's an inspiring quote from a stump speech! Okay we missed that state, but hang in there and phonebank and we'll get the next one! Don't stop believing! Hey, we won this state, it's officially happening! :swoon:"

the Clinton people on my Facebook feed were like "Okay, let me just say ONE THING to all you BERNIE BROS *links to angry thinkpiece*"

6 hour probes are whatever, but it's some petty, petty poo poo when you eat a 6, and then they wait until the 6 is over to toss another 6 on. Or toss another 3 days on.

i think that's kind of already guaranteed, bitching or no bitching

like step back for a second - the strategy clintonites used against bernie was actually successful, in their eyes, ergo if they face the same problem in 2020, they have no reason to not double down

what they're not recognizing is that they're depleting a finite resource by pursuing this strategy (trust in the leadership institutes of the dnc)

so if the dems still exist in 2020 (probably), I guarnatee they will use it and then get Shocked And Appalled when they get any kind of pushback

We need a regional party to disable either the Democrats or Republicans. When one-party rule elicits enough friction, it can be leveraged for transition to a parliamentary system.

Yeah really the top of the horseshoe should be some kind of crazy post-consumer free utopia where you can do whatever the gently caress you want until you decide to die and you are kept warm, comfortable, and secure by a network of godlike and benign AIs

Please explain it for me, because based on that image Im operating under the assumption negative rights are essentially 1800s style "hey there's a river on this land we bought, let's dam it so we can buy up all the downriver land too lol"

Negative Rights are rights to be protected from persecution, while Positive Rights are rights you're entitled to.

The problem with this classification is that, of course, every industrial era ideology advocates a mixture of both positive and negative rights, except libertarianism.

basically the only consistent distinction between them is that rich people benefit more from rights designated as 'negative' and poors lose a little less under 'positive', but philosophically there's no distinction between a right that requires the fulfillment of an obligation and the avoidance of an activity, they're both limits to your agency and even rights named 'negative' require the fulfillment of obligations by certain people in order to actually work in reality

similarly to primary salt, the discussion goes nowhere due to the insistence of one or more parties involved in the discussion that one or more factors is either the sole determining factor of the election/are irrelevant or were actually beneficial to the outcome of the election
