Lincoln Chafee had a campaign message - 'Metric good' - which automatically makes him better than Hillary 'Trump Bad' Clinton.

But seriously how can someone not think access to legal representation isn't a key component of reducing police abuse? Cops target minorities because theyre pretty sure they can get away with it, and frequently theyre proven right when the kid they hassle has no way to afford a decent lawyer and is forced into taking some lovely plea bargain. If everyone had better access to competent representation cops would get away with harassment less often, which would make them less likely to target minorities in the first place. Making people less racist is a generational project with uncertain outcomes. Tuning up the system to give racists less opportunity to exercise racism without penalty is a real and achievable goal within our lifetimes.

The ACLU doesn't make progress by screaming at people to be less racist. They offer competent pro bono legal representation to victims of racism in order to generate case law and create real penalties for discriminatory behavior.

i do not understand the distinction being made between social and economic justice. the examples of white-on-black racial discrimination which cannot be solved through progressive taxation and redistribution are examples of people using the free market and their individual liberties to protect their wealth and exploit others. you won't have to worry about the free market and individual liberty after the revolution!

The fact that Sanders is either an agnostic or an atheist gives me pause. Atheists are haaaated in this country.

That's not to diminish how bad of a candidate Clinton was for this election.

Sanders is not an out-and-proud atheist any more than Trump was. He would have bullshitted his way through it and nobody who might vote (D) would care.

it's not about individually racist cops. there are loads of non-racist cops, but they all serve the systemic domination of nonwhites.

Also looking at execution stats for 2016, it looks like 19 people were executed and only one was black. So maybe you should revise your head cannon a bit?

lmao Washington Post had a negative review of the show Incorporated because it depicts a dystopian future in which corporations run everything

https://www.washingtonpost.com/ente...3976_story.html

quote:

Taken with a post-Nov. 8 tilt, “Incorporated” feels like a needless dig at the wrong target. When a boisterously aggressive fan of the president-elect insulted and berated a Delta Air Lines plane full of passengers last week, using foul language and epithets, the authority that stepped in and stood for common values and civility was the airline itself, which has said it has banned the passenger for life. Imagine a world where corporations are the ones who stand up to bullies and champion human rights. The sooner someone can come up with a futuristic TV show about that, the better.

Is it Bernie's fault that she ran a GE campaign that had a laundry list of strategic errors such as overlooking midwest states?

Clinton did lose, O'Malley would have lost more, Chafee would have lost most, Webb would have barely won, Sanders would have won a lot, that is all thank you for listening

Also Bernie's failure to communicate with minorities is largely overblown, his problem was that old people hate him and early voters didn't know who or what he was because he started campaigning too late and those demographics had a disproportionate representation in early primaries. Also Southerners are just plain more conservative than Northerners regardless of race. He could overcome these issues by campaigning more in states he needed to win and did not campaign enough in the South, but his campaign did not have an intrinsic white slant and especially did not represent an insidious undercurrent of white supremacy like hillarymen have been insinuating.

Also it's not like the dems even have a chance in deep south states in a GE fight.

Bernie could easily have won by holding onto Midwest states, NE and west coast.
