Radical Meme, while I'm not involved in politics myself like Venom and CC are, there is one or two lines that summarizes the difficulty of being a 'true believer' in today's Democratic environment:

Bernie Sanders is not even a 'real Democrat'
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote

I know, that kind of sums up the whole conundrum. What do you do, which way do you turn? It's a truly perplexing question.

i agree. we should try targeting our surveys at people that make above a certain income threshold when polling for all issues. it should make the whole process much easier. hopefully through the use of google and facebook tools we can find just the right sample group.

Large money = success for dems
Large money = out of state interests for dems for republicans
Large money = controversy to sell for the media, also money to pay for ads in the media too.

Lowest was 55% in 2012, and Dem turnout is lower in midterms.

E:
2016 - 230k vs 107k votes
2014 - 182k vs 106k votes
2012 - 200k vs 158k votes
2010 - 180k vs 79k votes

Nobody has realised I tend to use UK styling for some words since I don't use the superfluous 'u'

Not sure if that's because I'm from northern New England close to Canada, or if it's because I read a lot of books as a kid.
All I know is it makes me double check my spelling when the browser says it's wrong but it's technically correct.

I'm going with reading books because my high school english class I did well in except when we graded each others stuff and
I had to get the teacher to verify my writing was technically correct, albeit sometimes archaic.

Like who the gently caress uses albeit.

Rand alPaul: Feb 3, 2010; by Nyc_Tattoo

Someone at the New York Times screwed up and interviewed Noam Chomsky.

quote:

I don�t think things are quite that bleak. Take the success of the Bernie Sanders campaign, the most remarkable feature of the 2016 election. It is, after all, not all that surprising that a billionaire showman with extensive media backing (including the liberal media, entranced by his antics and the advertising revenue it afforded) should win the nomination of the ultra-reactionary Republican Party.

The Sanders campaign, however, broke dramatically with over a century of U.S. political history. Extensive political science research, notably the work of Thomas Ferguson, has shown convincingly that elections are pretty much bought. For example, campaign spending alone is a remarkably good predictor of electoral success, and support of corporate power and private wealth is a virtual prerequisite even for participation in the political arena.

The Sanders campaign showed that a candidate with mildly progressive (basically New Deal) programs could win the nomination, maybe the election, even without the backing of the major funders or any media support. There�s good reason to suppose that Sanders would have won the nomination had it not been for shenanigans of the Obama-Clinton party managers. He is now the most popular political figure in the country by a large margin.

Activism spawned by the campaign is beginning to make inroads into electoral politics. Under Barack Obama, the Democratic Party pretty much collapsed at the crucial local and state levels, but it can be rebuilt and turned into a progressive force. That would mean reviving the New Deal legacy and moving well beyond, instead of abandoning, the working class and turning into Clintonite New Democrats, which more or less resemble what used to be called moderate Republicans, a category that has largely disappeared with the shift of both parties to the right during the neoliberal period.
