the most hilarious(ly awful) thing is that while taxing the rich would be cool and good, a lot of good things could be accomplished without even doing that

the fed has been doing "quantitative easing" for a decade now, which is basically a huge hose of money to financial institutions. that huge hose of money exists not only to give the financial sector tons of money but also because if it didn't exist we would be in a deflationary spiral from the recession. that huge hose of money could literally be redirected to any kind of spending and achieve the same results more or less; it exists to compensate for the fact that the government literally doesn't spend enough money to maintain a healthy currency

thats reassuring

knowing that they're jest throwing a tantrum over it all along

The tragedy of Big Brother is that everything Big Brother did just sowed Winston's mistrust in Big Brother. Sound

There are all these people saying "have you actually read the book?" as if context could in any way make these paragraphs any better

I mean, come on. How can you type this out and not immediately spot the contradiction?
if you take out that sneaky phrase "the leaders" it's not so unreasonable (but she didn't take it out!)

"the press" and "experts who seek to guide public policy based on evidence" could just as well be state organs, and in America's case both the press and think tanks are directly controlled by the ruling class.

I'd respect Hillary more if she just came out and said what she's obviously thinking

"I know I suck but you morons voted for Donald Trump and thought he'd actually give a poo poo. You fuckers deserve everything you get, I'm going to billionare island. Hillary out!"

Did Franken delete those two tweets? They're not on his feed.

Naah, they're both still there. Twitter was probably loving up the order the way it likes to do because IT KNOWS BETTER THAN YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT TO READ.

I don't see them as contradictory positions, though it'd have been nice if the 'I'm co-sponsoring Bernie's bill' one had come first.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

Hmm....let me look up the author.

quote:

Bill Scher was one of the first liberal political bloggers, founding LiberalOasis.com in 2002. LiberalOasis was the first blog to conduct a formal interview with a presidential candidate.[5] In 2004, he became a regular commentator for Air America Radio's "The Majority Report"[6] hosted by Sam Seder and Janeane Garofalo. In 2006, he contributed a chapter to the book "Proud To Be Liberal"[7] and published his own book "Wait! Don't Move To Canada!: A Stay-and-Fight Strategy to Win Back America" (Rodale, 2006).[8] He later became an editor and writer for the Campaign for America's Future website OurFuture.org.[9]

Wow I guess he must be pretty left win-

quote:

Bill Scher has been known to take positions that are controversial within liberal circles. In 2012, he published a New York Times oped titled "How Liberals Win"[10] which argued that liberals should treat "corporate power as a force to bargain with, not an enemy to vanquish."

Someone in my Facebook feed posted this article and, well, hachi machi

quote:

There’s some truth to at least one facet of this new Clinton backlash: For many people, these are indeed dark times and the Democratic party does need to get its act together and focus on resisting and defeating Trump. But for the most part, the criticism of Clinton’s book is just more sexist drivel from the never-ending well of misogyny and sexism that’s been being hurled in her direction during her long career of public service. Hillary Clinton doesn’t have to go out “gently”—or be otherwise schooled on how she should or should not handle her particular, unprecedented situation. She’s the first woman to win a major party’s presidential nomination in American history; she definitely doesn’t have to shut up about it, not now, not ever.

this sure is a take
