Everybody who picked HRC made the wrong call, and I'm pretty sure that post was in reference to how a lot of people default to this "well the CBC certainly thought she was alright :smug:" thing whenever something racist she did/said comes up, as though that means she is no longer capable of racism

please stop whitesplaining

No you don't understand I don't troll transparently for no reason anymore. poo poo like that kinda needs to be called out though because there's a serious underlying sentiment that black people in all stripes just weren't "smart enough" to support Bernie in almost the same fashion as rust belt white people weren't "smart enough" to support Clinton

i remember reading stuff like "black voters are more low information" or suggesting they did worse among black voters because they had lower levels of internet access. fundamentally, any analysis that blames the voter (regardless of candidate) for coming to the wrong conclusion is wrong-headed. it's the campaign's job to move the voter, and it's the campaign's fault when that fails.

im glad u've finally admitted that the question of "why did some working-class people vote for trump instead of hillary" is correctly answered with "because hillary was a bad candidate" instead of "because turmp voters dumb"

the rightward lurch of the democrats on everything from workers' rights to racial justice to health care to environmental issues to women's health was absolutely enabled by unions and other left interest groups still giving them their stamp of approval even as the democrats kept shafting them afterwards. and whenever endorsing groups thought about pulling out of this lovely deal the democrats were only too quick to bring them back in line by blackmailing them or their leaders with threats of lack of access, or replacing them with new blood

It's because lefties stopped winning election. Clearly they were sabotaged et cetera but centrists will never change over just because they are made to lose. Leftist need to win and be a winning brand before anyone is going to come along.

As with Corbyn labor party, if they take power, they're going to be able to start dragging the blairites kicking and screaming because they still want to win and it's going to be a winning move.

"Bernie would have won" is great but "Bernie won" is undeniable so maybe primary everyone and then take the best deal on the table.

OK but if you want everyone to live as good as whitey (which by people arguing for higher min. wage/guaranteed work they also believe is not opulent enough in many cases) surely you can see how this is a problem

Only within these United States. National Borders + a permissive but not unlimited immigration policy are as good as you are going to get for a long time. Additionally strong controls on out-sourcing to prevent Multinational Corporations from exploiting the countries outside of ours.

john lewis endorsed hillary over obama in 2008 (and only changed his mind after obama's lead was insurmountable) so actually supporting obama against hillary was racist

Agreed, but until we have a progressive international government that is committed to bringing MNCs to heel, instead of trying to jump on the gravy train, we have to go one nation at a time.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.
