Yes. They're making fun of the "liberals are good actually" tweet.





Also I just realized the succ are gonna win the primaries overwhelmingly, somehow lose the general, and blame the national coverage of like 2 left candidates for why they lost.

primo :decorum: from Politico

quote:

Hearing these stories, many will respond: Boo-hoo. What’s Julie missing her father at graduation compared to the strafing of Cambodia? But the point is not that Julie Nixon or Robert McNamara was done a grave injustice, any more than discomfort with the treatment of Sarah Sanders and Kirstjen Nielsen means seeing them as victims. The reason to maintain standards of conduct and preserve a non-political space of human interaction is not to protect particular politicians and government officials. It’s to protect America, to uphold the political culture we value.

Trump and his followers have already shown their contempt for the practices and gestures that help us live amicably with our ideological opposites. Joining Trump in the project of trashing the unwritten rules of public conduct won’t change his policies or governing style. But it will betray our own values and make it harder, once he’s gone, to reconstitute a decent, humane politics. We have nothing to gain from the eradication of a politics-free zone, from a war of all against all that greenlights once-verboten behaviors and permeates once-private spaces.

Trump, of course, still tweeted angrily that Pence was “harassed” and the mild protest was no more effective than was last month’s hounding of Nielsen at a Mexican restaurant. But Dixon and the Hamilton cast put their message across just the same, and they managed not to join Trump in a race to the bottom.

Dunking on liberals is good until they realize that neither neoliberalism nor "classical liberalism" are good ways to reach a society where people are maximally free to live their lives as they want.

I'm a liberal, in that I believe that kind of freedom should be the goal of society, but if it fails to consider material outcomes in that and only adheres to principle, it will never succeed in creating anything but misery

centrists dipshits refuse to acknowledge that we are already in a war, the vaunted 'norms' are already trashed, and not fighting is just losing. A norm isn't a norm when just one side upholds it, it's a delusion. No one on the right pays second thought to extra-legal abuse, or quasi-legal abuse. See: fascists paramilitary + police relations.

When the right-wing's beliefs were threatened, they blocked the nomination and then had a whole rear end presidential election dedicated to winning their own justice.

When people's lives are literally put at risk, the opposition responds by hoping for a nice justice. :thumbsup:

I will say though that it's rather amusing when Jimmy Dore spends a quarter of the show fluffing up Bernie and the other three-quarters bashing on the Dems for being complete poo poo ... and then he'll say he's not a liberal ... he's a progressive as though to swerve at the very last second from identifying as a socialist

The label isn't important imo.

I dunno, I kinda agree with him on that. Progressive is a very vague label without the best historical connotations, and trying to "take it back" is doomed to failure since leftists have little presence in the media.

I didn't do well in my economics course. Meanwhile the history courses I've taken, a majority talk about granddaddy Marx.

I remember one time in college our Atheists, Agnostics, and Freethinkers club (it was actually a good club that didn't remotely fit the contemporary stereotypes) had a Marxist professor visit. I remember thinking "heh this guy is so naive and unpragmatic" at the time, because I fancied myself a very ~reasonable~ liberal who understood "the other side" due to my finance major.

She talked about wanting to be the first woman president a lot (because that was the main thing she had going for her) and made that Her Narrative, so to a lot of people whether you supported Hillary was a referendum on the concept of a woman president

The fact that centrists still give a poo poo that a celebrity had the temerity support someone other than mother is what makes the democratic party a failure in the first place. I never once heard a Bernie supporter whine that we didn't have enough Hollywood supporters on our side.
