When I think about what a stupid dumb unforced gently caress up this was, I think about the conversation people would be having now if Ellison had one. Wouldn't there have been far far far more unity in that scenario? Some actual bridges built and goodwill shown?

yeah, i would have been positively thrilled had bootedge cinched it, i would have been satisifed had ellison won. but perez's victory isn't gonna do anything except keeping shady consultancy fees into the pockets of lobbyists.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:Well it also doesn't help if people vote for Dems anyway and they follow along with Republicans because ~bipartisanship~, especially when they start voting on executing detainees which is why the voters are raising a righteous stink about it! The democrats only want to execute male detainees over the age of 16. The republicans want to execute all male detainees. Do you want all male detainees executed? What's your problem?!

Going full socialist isn't gonna play in rural Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin in 2018. You gotta work up to that I'm afraid. zen death robot posted:I'm not sure what the hell youre gonna do to win those areas bud. I know these people well and uh, well, they don't want tax dollars helping out THOSE people. I mean there's a reason full Fascism is winning after all. All the more reason to vote R. The GOP is the best chance we have at bringing down the American empire.

all i'm saying is that if standards were high enough that being a spineless shithead was a disqualifying condition of holding a leadership post, maybe we might actually have candidates that can win stuff. but let's let them keep running the party even though it's been moved to a burned out house, no music is playing, people have started drinking methylated spirits, and you can hear a woman crying somewhere in the distance.

The DSA is cool if you want to meet other leftists and eat some pizza together or something but don't get the wrong idea and think it has any power or influence or even any strategy whatsoever. The DSA is for entertainment purposes only like chapo trap house and jacobin
