Concerned Citizen posted:the question i have is whether there is any potential candidate that would actually be acceptable to most everyone in the party? are we doomed to the salt mines regardless of who wins in 2020? to an extent, it seems so, which is somewhat distressing to me. i'm curious if anyone can come up with names because i can't. the only super delegate to endorse both Hillary and Bernie in the primary: Peter Welch

All I know about Aaron Sorkin was that he didn't like Occupy Wall Street and had his show state that SDS was the left wing version of the Tea Party.

Concerned Citizen posted:i think this is essentially a separate issue. like no matter who is nominated, of course you need a good campaign and a good platform with a candidate that people want to elect. that goes without saying, it's always priority number one. you don't have to worry about people in the party being salty if you're winning the general election by a lot - good example of this, obama 08. but i generally assume presidential elections will be close, even if trump seems to be doing his best to make sure that isn't the case - people have a tendency to self-justify returning to their innane partisan preference. and if it's close, there's a potential for a small number of dissenters to be decisive. unlike skull.gif I don't think most leftists would coalesce behind harris or gillibrand, bc of their past actions/votes. And I don't see lanyards voting for ellison or turner. the only one I see kinda-sorta fitting your bill would be elizabeth warren.

white sauce posted:violent revolution to purge these people is the only acceptable outcome lol, not mention the episode in which the hero works with the GOP to cut social security and the opposition to this plan are depicted as deranged fanatics quote:Consider a scene from Season 2’s “The War at Home”, in which Toby Ziegler confronts a rogue Democratic Senator over his objections to Social Security cuts prospectively to be made in collaboration with a Republican Congress. The episode’s protagonist certainly isn’t the latter, who tries to draw a line in the sand over the “compromising of basic Democratic values” and threatens to run a third party presidential campaign, only to be admonished acerbically by Ziegler:

gently caress the concept of a "starter job" in fast food for anything but advancing upward within the franchise. It doesn't make any sense that I see people that can complete a forensic science major having to flip burgers to pay for their tuition. It's not like the only people working there are 12th grade dropouts who got into fights at school. In fact, that's more of a reason that they should be paid $15/hr. People from all walks of life must suffer a long walk through the wastelands of Foodcourtia before arriving at their destinations.
