...attention people of 2017, do not repeat DO NOT begin investigations of the so-called fourth way. We thought we could handle the instability that resulted. We were mistaken and all of Earth paid the price. Our oxygen on this lunar fragment, the only one to survive the explosion, will be gone soon, and this message to the past is our only hope.

I've been up on the fifth way since inception.


Also apparently 3rd Rock from the Sun was one of the best sitcoms of the 90s this time around. It's kind of neat how these tiny details are never the same.


Coneheads was still terrible but an okay watch. Static object of references are usually the best grounding implements.

i will be disappointed but not surprised if perez folds after being explicitly told by the centrists to avoid promoting progressives or even mild leftist populists in red and swing states especially in the face of full fascism now

Did you really think that either Perez or Ellison would even need to be told that

Both of them demonstrated during the DNC campaign that they would support establishment centrists against leftist challengers and prioritize pragmatic compromises over progressive agitation.

I meant for middle class/lower middle class Americans.

Why can't they save say $250 per year, and invest that to stocks which have an average of 7% per return on investment.

Because a rich person can invest $250k per year into something with just as much of a rate of return and make 100x as much from those investments. though rich people also get more reliable gains because they have more money to put in, have access to more financial instruments and options, and can pay an expert to handle it for them

something whose payoff depends on how much money you put into it in the first place and how long you keep it in there is not really a class mobility tool, all it does is increase the gap between the classes

comedyblissoption posted:

liberals believe it was tone and messaging that was the problem

not the platform or policies

of course they'd be fine w/ perez

This is one hell of a post coming from the people who are more concerned with obsessing over the "symbolism" of the DNC race than pushing the Dems to start embracing progressive policies

If you're more concerned about policies and platform than tone and messaging, then you'd be bitching about the fact that the Dems have barely uttered a peep about policy beyond "we'll resist trump, I guess", instead of complaining about Perez's endorsements

Neurolimal posted:

I'm no conspiracy man, but it seems like it would be awfully simple to come up with one connecting the fact that democrats always manage to coincidentally kill off progressive legislature by 1-3 dissenting "bad apple" democrats

I mean the alternative is aggressive incompetence, which just isn't possible when we're talking about people this rich

Why haven't the 75 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which is currently bigger than the Tea Party Caucus has ever been, managed to kill off any of these mean centrist bills? How is it that one centrist Dem can block a bill but seventy-plus progressive Dems just have to roll over and accept a centrist shitfucking? Maybe the centrists aren't the people who need to be taking purity tests

JeffersonClay posted:

You don't know what the term "secret ballot" actually means. It does not mean any ballot that is not available for public inspection. A ballot which identifies the voter is not a secret ballot, regardless of the public's ability to examine said ballot.

You don't know what the term "open to the public" means. It does not mean a meeting where the public has unfettered access to everything at any time without exception. It means a meeting that the public can observe.

The text of the article is basically 'Free college doesn't work as a redistribution program, but it would be really good as part of a welfare state so we should have it anyway' which explains why both mainstream Democrats don't like it (they want to ameliorate poverty by making certain things less expensive for poor people) and DSA folks like it (they/we want to make poverty impossible)

I think I prefer the coping mechanism where they pretend factions aren't a thing rather than the one where they're convinced Bernie lost the election for Hillary somehow, because it is at least not actively harmful
