Condiv posted:almost literally yes. that's why ellison and bernie get powerless speaker positions. the big problem is that centrists only want to co-opt the message. they don't actually plan on doing anything or helping anyone exactly. while the left is making a big deal about symbolism and messaging, the center is setting the stage to apply an off-brand version of bernie's symbolism and messaging to the same old policies the problem isn't that the progressive who won the DNC chair vote doesn't have Bernie's endorsement, it's that there's barely been a peep about progressive policies since the election and the Dems are using opposition to Trump as a way to avoid having to take real policy positions themselves, just like Republicans did vs Obama

Another gem from my mother-in-law: It would have been better if the Government had people put there money in a savings account that they could not touch until retirement. The government has spent people's social security. I am not planning on drawing social security. I came from nothing. Me and my husband have worked hard. We own two businesses with only a High school education. So if you work hard you can do anything.

People noticed this and decided not to vote for the candidate that promised more of that. The lack of enthusiasm for Hillary's idea of "gains for only the 1%" is what they're referring to

mormonpartyboat posted:trump promised more of exactly that No he didn't lol He correctly pointed out the fact that traditional jobs that could provide a middle class life have been sent to other countries in exchange for executive bonuses, and promised to bring the jobs back. Of course, he's going to get his friends rich, but enough desperate poorly educated people believed him and voted for him.

We can't forget that Trump bragged about how he got politicians to do whatever he wanted as a demonstration of how broken the campaign finance system is. Meanwhile, Hillary was giving +$1000 plate fundraisers while a white noise machine blocked out what she said. Never underestimate the power of radical honesty.

I mean, Trump was also lying constantly, so "honesty" is a bit of a strong word People would rather have you lie to their face than keep secrets from them.
