tbh I scrolled past most of the short/shitposts in the old Trump thread and would only pause to read longer effortposts and posts with tweet or article links there was a lot of white noise and derails in the old thread, there's a lot here too it's just a slightly different flavor just use the cool bookmark thing in the third post of this thread to filter posts if you're annoyed by Dems Bad

That's a passable way to pressure for a move to the left without going full "down with Pelosi" on her minus-fiftieth day on the job.

Can someone who is more familiar with AOC tell me why she doesn't also advocate for universal basic income. I'm curious if that's still a bridge too far for the most progressive politician in our entire government or if she has a more complicated view on it or something.

this is cool the problem so far is that the only anti-Pelosi bloc making any noise are like 10-12 blue dog fucks that are the exact worst people to oppose her.

Man, idk, maybe it's just that America fuckin' sucks and we think socialism is bad because of 50+ years of literal anti-left propaganda. People have forgotten all the reasons why, and now they're trying to speed run the rise of the Nazi's.

I'm actually pretty interested to see how this Florida thing will continue to play out, because as someone listed the timeline earlier, after the recounts are done, the results of the election are then certified by the governor, who, by the way, is Rick Scott. What fresh mayhem will we witness when he just says "nope"

The world economically will need to get vastly worse due to automation and AI/General Purpose Robots proliferation before I think most people who would benefit from UBI accept the need of it, because the ideal of you need to work to earn money or work to have meaning in life are extremely powerful cultural forces.

There's a ton of potential problems with UBI. Who decides what's "basic", how do you make sure it keeps up with a rising cost of living, lovely people are going to try to make it means tested based on regional cost of living, etc. All that's gotta be worked out. Jobs guarantee and 15 dollar minimum wage are simple, easy, obviously good, and could be implemented tomorrow

If she doesn't get corrupted by the billions of dollars floating around the political system I'd probably vote for her then. But i swear to gently caress if they run Hillary again I'm voting Trump in protest.

I didn't know the other thread was closed. PPJ said to pm the mods with your concerns. At some point it's not just people stating their opinions and it's derailing the thread, making it bad (a self fulfilling prophecy) and becomes bullying the mods to get what people want. It's been what? 3 days?? Like ok, I'm sorry you don't like the threads but again, give it a drat chance and try to cut people some slack.

UBI is necessary and just because it's going to take effort doesn't mean it's not worth doing. $15 doesn't necessarily cover the cost of living in certain places regardless.

Sounds like creeping centrist pragmatism to me, which is the same as Literally Hitler.    But seriously, UBI isn't exactly something like universal health care where the US is the only dumb outlier in the entire developed world. Countries way to the left of us are only starting to pilot it, if they're doing it at all. It makes sense that she wouldn't be making a hard push for it out of the gate.

I actually feel like if the DNC is that out of touch and that foolish to triple down then there needs to be a clear message sent to them because 2016 apparently didn't work. Voting for batman or third party doesn't do the same thing as making Trump's inevitable second win against her a landslide to try and hammer the point home and send a clear message.

I mean the "message" that this sends, insofar as anyone else cares for who you vote for, is that the DNC is not sufficiently fascist enough for your taste. I do not think you've thought this through. Just write in Bernie, or AOC, or Malcom X, or whoever.
