Barbe Rouge posted:https://agenda-blog.com/2017/07/03/primary-colors-on-democratic-presidential-politics-neoliberalism-and-the-white-working-class/ i found this to be a pretty interesting read even if i dont agree with the author's historical analysis of elections decades past. however i feel they bring up an excellent point in that neither "whites are racists" nor "voters want progressive policies" fully explains the outcome of 2016. if you factor age into it i feel things begin to make a little more sense i feel. young voters overwhelmingly want progressive policies as seen by obama's 08 numbers and that sanders won primary states were youth turnout, particularly 18-30, was a couple of points higher. the key, i believe, isn't that progressive policies are going to win over the racists that jumped ship in the 70s and 80s and now make up the republicans strongest voting bloc. progressive policies however will turn out the youth vote (who almost reached double digits in their voting for 3rd parties in 2016) and provide a path for a victory

anime was right posted:ive said repeatedly that clinton would have been a fine president, but like, she literally never advocated for her mostly good policies which were a harder sell because The thing that concerned me about Clinton is that, even though she had articulated a number of good policies (mostly on her website), her history doesn't really make her a reliable actor to implement them. I also feared that she may have only been so willing to make the concessions she did because a Congress that wouldn't be able to pass such legislation was likely to also result from the election. Like, if I put myself in the shoes of "a centrist Democrat who wants to win the votes of more leftist Democrats without scaring off my more traditional donors and supporters", she did about what I would have done - technically include some good/progressive ideas in your platform, but under circumstances where you have a ready excuse for not actually implementing them and without being particularly vocal about them (so as to not concern the aforementioned traditional donors and supporters). All this being said, I still would have gladly taken the small chance of her actually doing some of this stuff over Trump.

Corky Romanovsky posted:You agreed there is ambiguity. ambiguity in that one sentence. quote:“Hillary will work with interested governors, using current flexibility under the Affordable Care Act, to empower states to establish a public option choice.” which, btw, is still retrograde from her position in 2008 but is pretty clearly distinguished from a medicare buy-in
