What a horrible thread to have a post.

It does matter despite her current political impotence. One of the biggest problems we lefties have is convincing people that ideology is more important than genetics, or in other words that "representation" is not going to fix any of our problems in and of itself.

So now we have our centrist black president utterly destroying black wealth for the benefit of the banks, we have our centrist "I'm with Her" candidate who ran on a feminist platform failing to deal with a male sex predator who was utterly under her control in her organization.

The reality is that our political process is designed to promote and advance elite warmongers who support an aristocracy of capital and throw the powerless to the wolves - we call them "centrists" - and changing the genetics of those elite and nothing else isn't going to matter at all. The whiteness and maleness of representation is a symptom, not the cause.

Which of these premises is wrong?

1). Clinton lost because she didn’t excite the base.
2). Leftists were excited to vote for the dream act and all voted for Clinton despite her faults.

If both of those are true, how can you reconcile both without concluding a substantial part of the democratic base aren’t leftists and don’t really care about the dream act? If leftist excitement wasn’t the problem and moderate republicans won’t ever flip, by process of elimination the votes Clinton needed must have been from centrist democrats, right? Is this the way people here understand the election?

Heck Yes! Loam!

“The thing in all this that I’ve learned is that they don’t actually believe the things that they say. I just feel they’re opportunists and that they exploit their Twitter followers’ fears,” said Manning.

I want to be clear that they let me in because they knew who I was and therefore they gave me that privilege to be there. Would they let any other trans person into that event? The answer is no.”
