Minor language aside: finding transcriptions of Iroquois words are a hell of a time because there are five different main dialects with different pronunciations and none of them ever follow the (more recent) style I grew up learning.

And I thought the new German spelling rules were bad!

Do note that he (Palast) goes on to state that the loss of the Clinton Campaign was still the fault of the Clinton Campaign, because really, with any competent campaign or candidate it should never have been close enough to steal, (much like the fault of the Gore Campaign lies with the Gore Campaign, on which the fuckery in Florida Greg Palast worked to uncover). He speculates that Bernie would have been such a blow-out for Bernie that this fuckery wouldn't even have mattered.

Also Hillary Clinton is a trash politician. I'm actually hoping for a Nina Turner run at some point, and also Paula Jean Swearengin's victory over Steve Manuchin in Virginia.

"You're gunna break it!"

Listen Liberal posted:

One of its early manifestos, for example, berated “higher socioeconomic status Democrats” for antagonizing working-class voters both culturally and economically, by embracing (among other things) “no-growth policies in the mid-seventies just as the economy was beginning to grind to a halt.”14

Why working-class voters were supposed to pine for balanced budgets, free-trade treaties, and the rest of the items on the DLC wish-list was a mystery. The answer, it would soon become clear, was that the DLC didn’t really care all that much about working people in the first place. The aim of the group was to capture the Democratic Party for its lobbyist supporters by whatever means were at hand, and in the 1980s, claiming to represent the overlooked middle American probably seemed like a good gambit. By the early 1990s, however, the DLC’s proletarian period was over. Instead, the group used different rhetoric to persuade Democrats to let them drive.

Now its leaders talked about getting “beyond left and right,” about occupying the “vital center,” about themselves as visionary “New Democrats,” empty phrases that nevertheless carried—that carry still—a kind of hypnotic power over the technocratic Washington mind. Before long, the DLC had discovered the great Cause on whose behalf it would henceforth make its demands: not the forgotten worker but the future—the “postindustrial, global economy.” It was in order to “do business” in this new realm, the group’s many manifestoes declared, that we needed to reform “entitlements” (i.e., Social Security), privatize government operations, open charter schools, get tough on crime, and all the rest of it.15

Why do I feel like I'm reading about Republicans? :thunk:

Better yet why does it suddenly feel like we're living a political groundhogs day over and over?

The original post that he was responding to was just stating that women and people of color are held to a higher standard. If people fail to acknowledge that, they are taking part in perpetuating the white supremacist patriarchy.

the problem is most liberals have really convinced themselves that centrist democrats are really trying hard to make the world a better place and just can't because of the far left/left/right/far right and their unrealistic demands

so you have people unironically writing things like "anyone who hates hillary clinton does so because of propaganda" or "the only reason this person who published a book and went on a media tour admonishing the base that didn't vote for her is getting any attention is because of their genitals"

you can't separate their broken ideologies from their broken logic, if you have people who "care" about social justice shaming anyone who won't vote for a slaveowner... i'll leave the rest as an exercise for the reader

all reactionaries are like this fwiw

When someone brings up sexism and racism in leftism and your first response is to deflect, I think you should take stock of just how aware you are being of your own role in the white supremacist patriarchy.

Considering some of the words that have been used by people who want to call themselves leftists about women and people of color, it would do us all good to be more aware.
