Neurolimal posted:Tulsi would be great in a domestic position, but unless her foreign policies change she should stay far away from the oval office. Plus I don't trust that she wouldn't, you know. Let her Islamophobia drive a lot of her policies on civil liberties. I could see her trying to get a Muslim ban through. e: \/\/\/ yup. I can't really find a way to justify treating her good social democratic domestic policies as so significant, that they totally blot out her insanely fascistic attitudes. \/\/\/ Majorian fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jul 5, 2017 |

As far as I know there's no standing Floridian army, so it should be OK to have her represent districts or even be senator. There's all of one person ITT advocating for Prez Gabbard so IDK who you're talking about when you say 'marks'.

BRAKE FOR MOOSE posted:I never considered voting for Clinton in the primary but I wouldn't vote for Tulsi Gabbard except over the biggest disasters (e.g. Cuomo). Her bad opinions are dealbreakers and the left can very obviously do a lot better than that. I'm pretty sure the fact that people are bringing up Gabbard is a sign that it's not, in fact, obvious that the left can do better. I mean I'm sure it can, but it's certainly not OBVIOUS that it can.

paranoid randroid posted:are you so demented that you still seriously care about who endorsed who in 2016 My purity test is basically: if you've ever been against single payer, go gently caress yourself. That clears the field pretty accurately. Warren didn't support it until a few years ago, so she sucks, it just happens to be a less so than most Dems.

Majorian posted:That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. While I wish Warren hadn't endorsed Clinton, and had actually run herself, her policy positions are pretty clearly non-neoliberal. She's not a neoliberal in the same way that Clinton doesn't think black people are superpredators: The Boston Globe posted:In her 2012 race for Senate, Warren’s ill-fated primary challenger, Marisa DeFranco, consistently chided Warren for not explicitly endorsing single-payer insurance, which Warren refused to do. DeFranco made a point to mention the issue in her media appearances, and branded herself as the “only candidate in this race who supports single-payer.” Warren did not challenge the assertion. I don't believe in "evolving" into positions where gay people are suddenly not worthy of being lynched, and I don't believe in "evolving" into believing that healthcare in this country isn't a loving disaster.

You can be disappointed with how long it took Warren to champion single payer, but she's been spearheading efforts on reforming the financial sector, and without her, we probably wouldn't have had the CFPB. That's not really the hallmark of a neoliberal.

That's not really the hallmark of a neoliberal. Her work with the CFPB hasn't really done anything important, the efforts to reform the financial sector were laughable and are likely to be completely rolled back, and she was actively working to snuff out single payer as recently as during Obama's second term. Who gives a poo poo about Liz Warren. Literally the most visible thing the CFPB has done is to show you how much money you'll save by paying off your credit card earlier, if that's not neolib I don't know what the gently caress is

Obama and other centrist Dems pumped the breaks on financial sector reform, in the vain hope of placating Republicans. That wasn't Warren's fault. quote:Who gives a poo poo about Liz Warren. A lot of folks. She has a very good chance of being the Dems' 2020 nominee.

Isn't it weird how Warren was, like, TOTALLY trying to reign in Wall Street, but couldn't - while at the same time working to ensure single payer would never come to pass? I mean, you could be excused for thinking that both of those things are completely consistent with a neoliberal identity... but no, just like Obama, she should totally get credit for things she said she wanted to do, but didn't.

An attractive young outsider blank canvas that you can pin all your socialist hopes on, but who ends up being another centrist turd when it actually matters. Thread, I don't recognize this person but I thought Ellison was the good true progressive and Perez was the dirty Obama centrist. Which is it?
