You're the one giving them the power by listening and engaging them and grouping them. I've dealt with trust fund shitheads like this before, but to automatically dismiss a race and status as a whole because of a few shitheads is part of the problem. There are actually potential allies in that area that aren't so far up their asses. It's antagonistic because you're seeking vengeance from a perceived slight and it fits that narrative so good, "uck rich spoiled white kids" *jams whole hand down throat to trigger gag reflex out of virtue signaling* and it serves nothing in the long run.

Maybe he was out of the room while it happened like when half of Labour couldn't vote in the last leadership election because Jeremy Corbyn thought the meeting was over but they reconvened in a technically quorate way and tried to sabotage him lol

basically when you say "gently caress feminists" it is not immediately obvious whether you're a leftist or a gamergater

I never even said gently caress feminism. I didn't even say gently caress feminists! I even specifically rules out literally the vast majority of feminists in that post (any feminists that weren't 70s feminists) and I never said or meant it to include all 70s feminists since I was specifically referring to the ones who did the action I found distasteful and it was the action I was criticizing, or at least thought I was criticizing.

trust me this is a well-known issue and a huge point of contention w/ modern feminism. people continue to fight for intersectionality in feminism and it's kinda making inroads? but its really slow.

I know, some dude accused me of being an ignorant Clinton hater when paraphrasing Carbado's "Colorblind Intersectionality" like 10 pages ago lol

If you're not willing to lick the boot, then really why are you in politics lol? Everything is a cycle of just getting stomped on so why do you want to lose to it over and over, just submit like me, I'm very intelligent.
You know, with the candidacy of Donald Trump, there's been a lot of discussion of what really unites the Republican Party and makes them a coherent party, and I think you could come up with lots of really good uniting points; anti-cosmopolitanism, anti-internationalism, and overall distrust of government and intellectuals.

What points, what values, unite the Democratic coalition that we already have? Without striving to at least understand our own coalition, I don't see how we can hope to expand it.

generic "you" in that sentence, if it wasn't clear :shobon: and i was pretty flippant in that phrasing, but basically it's a sensitive issue and until we figure out a good framework for addressing it feet are going to be stepped on

Actually you can dismiss rich feminists really easy because people making more than $250,000/y make up less than 1.5% of the population.

Our message should be gently caress the rich but the rich hijacked our party, there's a reason Bernie Sanders was so popular despite every odd stacked against him.

The answer is "not much beyond ancient loyalties", same as the democrats.

This was not a good election for your average fiscal conservative social hard rear end Republican candidate, this is people wanting bajillions of deficit spending to fight poverty in left-behind areas.

They're a minority who shouldn't be pandered to because they're literally the oppressors, they can't be ignored because they're what's holding back actual progress by defining what's "important" and shaping the narrative, I dont know how to better explain it.

hmmmmmmmmmm :/ i wonder why.

olive branch to the establishment and an indication that he'll be willing to do the job without getting caught up in partisanship, i think. as DNC chair, he can encourage progressives to run in seats with no Dem competition and he can urge candidates toward progressive messaging, but the head of the Dem fundraising organization isn't really in a position to piss off big donors and dedicated fundraisers for the sake of ideological purity or "draining the swamp", and there's no way Schumer and other establishment figures would have put him forward if they weren't confident that he was willing to agree with that

that's why i was always skeptical of the DNC chair push. he might personally be progressive, but given the choice between a centrist incumbent or megadonor and a progressive long-shot challenger, it's the DNC's job to back the centrist
