I'll freely admit: I volunteered to canvass and GOTV for Hillary and I still feel burned from the election. I don't care if it's Zuckerberg or somebody else, I just want a fire-starter from the left.  e:

Wait, aren't Kushner and Ivanka making a mint off the presidency? Or did the FBI investigation froze their assets?

Majin posted:That seems a bit overreaching in my eyes. We're all "people", so to speak, and I feel everyone should get a fair chance and not at all be discriminated against based of their race, gender, or sexual orientation. But where do these people's interests lie that falls so far outside of a normal leftist's views that others can differentiate between them? Maybe you should describe the people you're talking about in less general terms, because I don't know how anyone can help you with this question when you're being this vague. It sounds like there are just some people here that you don't like for reasons that you can't or won't define and you want a label for those people.

I guess to change subjects to a more productive question left from the election: is there anybody on the bench in the foreseeable future to provide a credible Dem candidate from the left by 2020? Especially against an incumbent advantage (assuming Trump or Pence are still in, which is highly questionable)? Duckworth has been passed around as an option, as far as I know. Will it just take time for someone to be recognized within four years' time? Obama was a relative unknown before the 2004 DNC speech. Is there a comparable figure we could look to now with potential?

I really think it's not her fault she lost though, there was a lot of russian interference, and Comey had a hand to play in it too, plus people were unfair to her for being a woman. It's a much bigger people then you guys seem to think.

Kamala Harris is from the left-wing of the party and gets bandied about as a nominee for the usual reasons: - Good speaker - Liberal, but mainstream - Good fundraiser - Government experience - Rapid career advancement and very impressive education credentials - Woman/Black/Populist

Franken, Duckworth, Gillibrand, Booker seem to be the ones with the best credentials in terms of visibility on the national stage, though their palatability to the left varies pretty greatly Harris is a dark horse I guess

citybeatnik posted:They have until 2024 to get their spending up to that amount. Trump pissing off our allies by rambling on about them not paying their fare share is literally premature and a problem that's set to correct itself. So what you're saying is that when the allies meet their obligations we get to hear Republicans crow about how Trump made them do it.

It's a much bigger people then you guys seem to think. quote:Clinton says the second debate with Trump, during which he loomed menacingly behind her, was one of the hardest situations of the whole campaign. “Because what he was doing was so … uh …” — she pauses to search for words — “so personally invasive: following me, eyeing me.” quote:More than one male staffer spoke of a dark joke from the campaign, one that reflected their awareness of how little credit was given to Clinton and the women who worked for and supported her. The joke was that if Clinton won, the story would be about how the brilliant men running her campaign had managed to drag her limp body over the finish line. Coverage of Clinton's campaign staff focused on the "whiz-kid" Robby Mook and described Clinton's female advisors as "catty" and needing to be managed by Mook. quote:The brutal response McIntosh is referring to was the way in which expressions of unreserved support for Clinton were often met with accusations of featherbrained fangirl-dom, or vagina-voting. Even suggested by mainstream news outlets and pundits on CNN, PBS, and the Washington Post. quote:The impulse toward false equivalency is only getting worse, in her opinion. “The cable networks seem to me to be folding into a posture of, ‘Oh, we want to try to get some of those people on the right, so maybe we better be more, quote, evenhanded.’ ” When I mention MSNBC’s hiring of conservatives including George Will, and the New York Times’ new climate-change-skeptic opinion columnist, Bret Stephens, her brow furrows. “Why … would … you … do … that?” she says. “Sixty-six million people voted for me, plus, you know, the crazy third-party people. So there’s a lot of people who would actually appreciate stronger arguments on behalf of the most existential challenges facing our country and the world, climate change being one of them! It’s clearly a commercial decision. But I don’t think it will work. I mean, they’re laughing on the right at these puny efforts to try to appease people on the right.” quote:They still chant “Lock her up” at Trump rallies, just as they did at the New York Stock Exchange as she gave her concession speech. “You know, these guys on the other side are not just interested in my losing, they want to keep coming after me. I mean, think about that for a minute. What are they so afraid of? Me, to some extent. Because I don’t die, despite their best efforts. But what [really drives them] is what I represent.” The NY Stock Exchange anecdote was something I had never heard before. What a bunch of loving sociopaths.

Honestly, if Zuckerberg was the founder and CEO of a successful company in a high-tech field like green energy, computer hardware, nanotech, or robotics, I would at least pay attention to what he is saying. Facebook though? gently caress Facebook, and gently caress Zuckerberg for it. The whole thing is an incredibly creepy and invasive information gathering apparatus the likes of which any authoritarian/fascist leader would loooove to have control over. And I don't trust Zuckerberg to not have such tendencies.

I don't "take names" or anything, but anyone who follows this thread on a daily basis should be able to speak to the fact that there are people who poo poo on the current Democrat party for "not doing enough" so to speak. Have they dropped the ball in the past? Of course! But there are numerous people on here that seem like they'd happily kneecap current liberal chances at making at least *some* progress if they got elected simply because they're not likely to make *enough* progress as far as they're concerned. That's all I'm railing against. And maybe that's extreme, but to refer back to the beginning of this - That's what I'd personally consider "alt-left" (Doing the progressive party no favors) Majin fucked around with this message at 23:55 on May 26, 2017 |
