I have a couple hardcore neo-liberal facebook friends from high school. One of them posted this this morningquote:The Senate's version of the healthcare bill is a great illustration of zealous ideology over reasoned and pragmatic policy. The GOP is tearing down any semblance of government being anything other than a power/cash grab and their concern is that people need to just be more reasoned and pragmatic. Guillotines, people, not pragmatism.

The tick-tock of two party politics means that the Dems will likely win a shitload of seats in 2018 against an insanely unpopular president almost regardless of what they actually do. The big problem imo isn't that the Dems won't get into power again but that they will be of the same type that won't actually fix anything fundamentally wrong with the country. If the left wing party isn't genuinely dedicated to addressing climate change/health care/wealth inequality/racial justice/constant war issues then the country is like super hosed.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:As I understand it, Corbyn was nominated as a joke to fill out the nominee roster but the voting membership rebelled against the Blairites. according to this article the voting system was different https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/17/labour-leadership-battle-jeremy-corbyn-party-organisation Labour faces this chaos due to a radical rule change in 2014. It created a strict “one-person one-vote” electorate, where MPs had no more sway in the final outcome than ordinary members. Under the previous electoral college system, MPs and members each had one-third of votes and trade unions the remainder.
