there is no evidence bernie would've held those states. taking it as an assumption is a non-trivial statement. show your work.

Hillary = Bad
Bernie = Good

QED

or to be more specific, apathetic black Obama voters who turned out in 08/12 would have turned out in the same numbers (lovely numbers) for Bernie as Hillary, while Bernie would have peeled off enough rural whites to win. Hell maybe Bernie would have even picked up Ohio.

Florida was a lost cause as Trump is the most Floridian man to ever run for president, including Jeb Bush.

hillary lost florida for the same reason she lost pa, mi, and wi - a collapse among rural/suburban whites, many of whom typically vote democratic. fixing the issue that lost those 3 states would have also won florida imo

i'll illustrate why i bring this up with an example.

during the first debate hillary said the greatest threat to the banking system was shadow banking. this is the system by which non-bank entities act as banks and is absurdly risky and dangerous to our economic system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_banking_system

bernie didn't even know what it was and instead talked about bringing back glass-steagal which would have had minimal impact on even preventing the 08 crisis much less stopping future ones. this was a repeated problem with his campaign as people would ask questions like "how would we pay for this/what would be the impacts" and the response was a shrug.

the bernie wing (for lack of a better term) is all stuff that sounds good optically but might not actually do anything ala his comments on glass-steagal. unfortunately the hillary wing won't focus enough on the need for people to, ya know, like the candidate and/or the policy even if the stuff they propose sounds good, ala her comments on shadow banking. or worse, they come up with stuff that is effective but doesn't really generate any enthusiasm in either direction.

i'd prefer something that actually worked instead of something giving me good feelings and ultimately changing nothing. but if the best policy in the world is proposed by satan it doesn't matter, because no one will vote for it.

the stances of the candidates from last year doesn't matter anymore but it appears the party direction is coalescing around these two points as a matter of speech. i only bring up the primary as an example of what i'm talking about. what i'm hoping is that as the party moves forward i hope they commit to doing things that are actually meaningful rather than doing whatever makes leftist twitter or tumblr or w/e happy but ultimately not changing anything. even if i don't like what they propose, i hope they propose stuff that actually changes things rather than just chasing whatever feels good. raging against the heavens and accomplishing no policy changes doesn't do anyone any good, except feeding the ego of the people raging at the heavens.

tl;dr: both "wings" of the party need to ensure that whatever they do in the next 2 years, they're proposing effective policy that is well thought out.

I looked up shadow banking as well during that first debate since I didn't know what it was either. The banking regulatory system is complicated and imo it's ok if the president doesn't have intimate knowledge of it. Bringing back "glass-steagal" as it was written would probably not do anything correct the failings of the banking system that caused the crash of 2007, but he is using it as a rhetorical device. He wants to strengthen banking regulations that would include Shadow Banking, not literally just recreate "Glass-Steagal."

To quote a Twitter user responding to this, "I just viscerally understood the concept of mixed feelings." Sirota is a great investigative reporter. Hell he's been fired from outlets because he stepped on the wrong toes, Dem and Republican. So, and let's just dream for a moment, David Brock actually understands?

No, my gripe is with idiots like Anime Schoolgirl who legit believe there were zero reactionary and flat out White Nationalist elements to Donnys campaign, that it was ALL just a lie from the EEVIL neoliberals (who are definitely the Real Racists and not in fact, the slowly growing contingent of Ethnonationalism all across the loving world )

I just clicked through the last couple pages of Anime Schoolgirl's posts and they like to say "racsexism" a lot to make fun of the idea that caring about ecpol is somehow bad, but I wasn't able to find anything telling uppity blacks to shut up or whatever you're implying :confused:
