Weird how you're comparing a candidate who's advocating openly for progressive causes and then Drawing false comparisons to empty suits like Doug jones. It's almost like they are not the same thing and you're a mush mouthed slimy grifter arguing in bad faith who needs to shut the gently caress up.

Nixon is better than Cuomo because Cuomo is Cuomo, this might be confusing to you because it's the exact same parable as Clinton is bad because Clinton is Clinton

two times governor Cuomo deserves another run, another chance because he's just gotta have 12 years as a teachable moment Concerned Citizen posted:i might be more excited for cynthia nixon when she actually openly advocates for progressive causes, rather than just being a vessel through which you can fit all your hopes and dreams. thus far it's been "government should do more on healthcare," "income inequality is bad," and "fix the subway." all of which is cool and good, but not something you wouldn't find support from CAP on. no its just funny to challenge people and thats why its called a democracy or what should be as such you are looking it at it all dumb and wrong, like an idiot

It's okay to criticize people you otherwise agree with. Unless you're the designated Democratic Party Sin-Eater and thus must bear all the sins of the lanyard.

Ytlaya posted:I get the point you're trying to make, but the problem is that labor income always has the ability to be converted into capital, so a person making a lot of money will always share a lot of the interests of someone who currently gets most income from investments. They can always say "instead of spending my money on hookers and blow this year, I'm gonna invest it" and suddenly they're benefiting from the same things as capitalists. Someone who doesn't make much money doesn't have that choice, because they'll always be relying on their labor income in order to maintain a reasonable quality of life. Basically, the person with a very high income still benefits from having "invest a bunch more money and accrue significant capital income" as an option available to them. At the very least, this warrants being considered fundamentally different from someone who doesn't make enough money to have that as an option available to them. This is exactly the sort of "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" poo poo that we try to fight everywhere else, and just because some people may have false class consciousness isn't enough to say that we should embrace their wrongness quote:(Also that doesn't really address the secondary "it doesn't make sense to compare labor income with capital income, but rather to merely look at capital income and whether it constitutes a living wage" point. Someone in that situation isn't really relying on labor, since labor is just a choice they're making and they could always stop working and live off the returns, even if it would lower their yearly income. So "is their primary income stream from investments" is not the best way to define capitalist, since "could they choose to subsist off investments alone" is far more reasonable.) I don't like "could they choose to subsist off investments alone"; if you own a failing business that literally isn't making profit such that you as the owner aren't making any dividends, you still own the business.

WampaLord posted:She announced like, a week ago. The election is in November. The election is in September. It's actually really possible for a candidate to state things they are for when they announce, weirdly. At the moment I don't know how she is to the left of any generic center-left candidate. Maybe that changes, but it's hardly unusual to run on more than platitudes during the initial press blitz.
