I mean, saying "we should specifically nationalize these two large corporate entities that always lobby in the wrong direction " is a very Steve-Bannon take on it the correct answer is of course "we should nationalize the entire Internet"

The democratic party is basically validating every joke about the 19th century british liberals being a vapid, ideology-free party for people who wanted to be conservative but pretend to care about the poor.

Concerned Citizen posted:well there's already a standard by which we define who is allowed to be a democratic nominee: a primary. why should the national party dictate who a district is or is not allowed to run for office in a particular area? i think we do too much of that as it is, i don't think it should be extended to having the believe the right things. wow, those goalposts move fast. you've gone from "everyone should be equally eligible for funding" to "the national party shouldn't be able to literally deny someone the right to run" in the course of half a page the "brand" is important because if the brand is meaningless, there's literally zero reason to take it into account when voting. if the only difference between "Democrat" and "Republican" is which pile of empty suits endorses them and which megadonors fill their coffers, why should anyone care about either party?

zegermans posted:ah yes, those jokes. Serious post: That the first cry of victory from the bad dems (who still dominate the party) after AHCA was "we need bipartisanship now", especially considering their most bipartisan bills have been for imperial butchery, does help demonstrate what Arendt meant when discussing the inability of bipartisan systems to maintain substantially opposing ideologies, and so instead they just have no claimed ideology. The democratic party being able to take captive demographics for granted in this process because they're a bit less likely to be bigots just makes it worse since it's not even proving to be enough to protect said groups (after all, O'Malley and Cuomo are dems).

got any sevens posted:maybe the party shouldnt let people run in the dem primary if they dont adhere to a basic platform? I mean, this would be a great idea if the party didn't SUCK but as it is, allowing the party to police who gets to run under its banners seems like a really good way to allow the establishment to box out outliers (meaning progressives). It's basically what happened in 2016 -- the entire establishment had already decided one way before the primary began, and a significant number of voters disagreed. If they had been allowed to just find some reason to disqualify Bernie from running -- they could have used his independent status (or something something gun rights) as a pretext for this, easy -- then it's done. Bing bang boom, no more Dem civil war, 1000 years of centrism and losing.

Vox Nihili posted:That's insanely hosed up. FWIW, they didn't ban the trans people I know who changed their names. they often don't catch it. I know a couple of people who've used fake names on FB for years for privacy reasons. as long as it's not really obviously made up, FB probably won't notice unless someone reports it or something happens that draws scrutiny. of course, anti-trans bigots know about the FB real name policy and it's an easy way for them to mess with trans people when the do catch it, FB definitely does initiate disciplinary action against trans people who change their names. typically they're forced to either provide documentation (such as a driver's license) proving that it's their actual legal name, or give FB a detailed explanation of the "special circumstances" that require them to not use their real name. if their "ID verification experience" (as FB calls it) doesn't pass muster, their account gets banned

replace all dem primaries with a Bernie Tribunal where bernie and his hand-picked judges decide if you are worthy of the party brand or not if a district can't find a candidate that passes then i guess it's a republican district

Main Paineframe posted:wow, those goalposts move fast. you've gone from "everyone should be equally eligible for funding" to "the national party shouldn't be able to literally deny someone the right to run" in the course of half a page well no, i'm not talking about the national party literally denying someone the right to run - I mean it's kind of poisoning the well of candidates if the party says "we will not give funding to any candidate that doesn't believe X and Y." the people who make those kinds of decisions are not elected directly by democratic voters, they're unaccountable. their narrow role is to elect as many democrats as possible, and that should be the only thing they do in my opinion. once you open it up, it's kind of a pandora's box that is really more dangerous to the left than the center. imagine, for example, eliminating funding to someone for insufficient support of the president's agenda (like TPP). in other words, i think the solution here is more democracy rather than trying to rig the game one way or another so that only ideologically correct candidates win. in the US, we have a two party system with weak parties. the party functions as broad banners to unite the center and the left under a single label, and the center and left compete within that arena for elected positions. in the past there have been attempts by the center to marginalize the left, and the truth is that those efforts have always been self-defeating. there is no way to enforce ideological purity under our current system, because your opponents are not going to simply disappear when they lose - they will just become disaffected and sabotage you, just as you sabotaged them. until such time that we reform the american system to one that doesn't punish you for having more parties, we're going to have to learn to live together and accept that we're sometimes an awkward match. so the function of the national party should be to create as fair and level a playing ground as possible for candidates to compete in primaries, and basically let the people of the district decide without putting a thumb on the scales one way or another. i'm ok in some circumstances for the dccc to endorse a candidate early, but only when there's no competitive primary and not doing so would put the democrat at a disadvantage versus the republican.
