remember how hill's donors gathered to personally anoint harris, the cop, as hillary's successor?

watch her suddenly get really popular with the superdelegates.

Harris has the secret sauce of being both an ambitious authoritarian with no standards as well as a minority woman with an upper-middle class upbringing, which means that dems will be able to spend the entire primary going full court press on identity politics to avoid actually bringing up issues without worrying that she might go rogue on an issue their donors care about

e: I'll also :toxx: right now that if Harris makes it far enough for people to start talking VP noms, the dems will try to nominate the oldest, richest, whitest man rear end in a top hat possible

Seeing posters in the Trump threads annoyed with Native Americans for criticizing Warren is legitimately blowing my mind.
imagine if someone like warren was claiming african american ancestry and had claimed african american minority status in the past despite criticism from african american communities and just now started waving around a 23 and me dna test showing a potential 1/1024th drop of color as proof of those claims

native american culture and identity is really marginalized in our society to the point that claiming ancestry is like a fashion statement lol

this is part of why i'm so dumbfounded at the response, myself. there's several posters in there that you'd think would have a problem with this, but if they do, they ain't sayin' poo poo.

also it's not just a simple ancestry or gentic claim it's also a heritage claim as evidenced by the campaign video title and her campaign web site lol

Lol, are all the Hillary2016 staffers going to get divvied up by various candidates, and then systematically ruin their campaigns? Maybe this timeline isn't so bad after all.
I will laugh when it's only Bernie, Gillibrand, and, uh, Jeff Merkley left standing.

in neoliberalism the only voters that matter are the technocrats

trumpism is a dark and evil ideology but as articulated by bannon and others it doesnt draw its authority from "expertise"

well, it was like saying 'free matey,' an injustice had been done that needed rectification tout de suite.

and speaking as a former fundie myself, your thread was particularly illuminating, especially in the way that a dude who knew but couldn't find the words to describe it suddenly found the vocabulary.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
Why is Warren trying to pull a 1/1024 connection into a "win"? The average American is likely more Native American.

this

the idea that independents are all centrists who want just the right amount of fascism is total horseshit

many of them already lean to one party or another and would be attracted to a candidate with an actual platform, eg bernie's popularity with independents

Here's the bio of the succdem:

quote:

Native Hoosier who spent most of his 20s in Arizona and most of his 30s (so far) in the Northwest. Critical thinking is good. Civil discourse has its limits.

I think this shows what I've thought for some time: a ton of the non-professional left punching democrats are people who have built their entire identity as "the furthest left that is pragmatic and realistic" in the US. They think they are rebels, courageous leftists. And then people further to the left than them come along, are more popular, and shatter their world view of themselves.

It's because Warren is their last hope for a non-Bernie candidate they can support in the 2020 primary while minimizing the uncomfortable conversations they'll be having with leftists if they end up supporting one of the folks with even less left-wing credentials than Warren. I mean, it certainly won't stop them from supporting Harris or whatever, but it would put them in a more awkward position defending their unethical choice.

i think that's a big part of it but also those people tend to be fairly materially comfortable and see the left as a threat to that, often more so than the right who they view more as an embarrassment
