There's no need to apologize for that. Being real takes guts. Nothing personal happened for me around election night except in the sense that I'd been following everything with a microscopes for 16 months so the loss felt personal that way

That stuff really did happen to me right around the election. And I had kind of reverted to being a broke-brained liberal at the time so it was a rough month

I knew that a Trump equivalent was coming if the left didn't get its poo poo together, the left hadn't gotten its poo poo together, so Trump wasn't a shock and I went to bed at 10pm

WJ's right in the sense that the left has noxious, counter-productive, self-serving elements and insufficient social mechanisms to recognize and deal with them, and it's why Trump's going to win again in 2020

apparently it's really easy to keep a coalition together when you have a dehumanized "other" group to want to pwn endlessly, instead of trying to build some actual consensus that works for everyone involved

anybody know anything about the book "scientific management, socialist discipline, and soviet power" by mark beissinger. came across it while looking up information on the five year plans

so i'm going to guess that no, none of you have heard about this book from 1988 that had maybe 5 copies printed
