so he likely made $400,000 for his salesforce speech, rather than $250,000. Cool world we have for post-presidential grift.

https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/471743-nurses-across-the-us-just-endorsed-bernie-sanders-heres-why

quote:

Why are nurses political? For National Nurses United (NNU), the largest U.S. union of registered nurses, the answer to that question involves tracing each patient’s story backward, from the hospital out into the world.

Our asthma patients come to us from refinery towns, our diabetic patients from jobs that don’t cover the cost of insulin.

Disaster relief volunteers with NNU’s Registered Nurse Response Network help patients still in shock from the climate-fueled wildfires and hurricanes they just survived. This summer, our El Paso nurses cared for patients who had just hours earlier been hiding in the aisles of Walmart.

In short, the illnesses and injuries that culminate at the bedside begin in our patients’ homes and communities. They begin with the policies that govern their lives and our planet, and they are often preventable. So our job, as patient advocates, is to fight beyond the walls of the hospital, in the streets, in our legislators’ office, on the campaign trail— and everywhere our voice makes a difference.

That’s why we are so proud to endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for the next president of the United States.

We have a slogan, “vote nurses’ values,” and on the issues that matter, Sen. Sanders has been fighting by our side for years. When nurses imagine the kind of society we want for our patients — that would protect their health, rights and dignity, and perhaps prevent them from needing care in the first place — we know that Sen. Sanders has spent his entire career fighting for that world.

What makes me so mad at incrimentalists isn't that I couldn't possibly relate to them because I was one under Obama, but 2016 radicalized me fifteen ways to Sunday not least of which because I turned 26, and it baffles my mind how people can go through the same thing and say, "Eh, I still think socialism is a dirty word." Like, HOW?

Same for me but 2008/2009 when it became crystal clear that capitalism was far more interested in making sure billionaires didn't lose a single penny while 10's of millions of regular people became homeless and jobless. Any remaining faith I had in capitalism being a system that rewarded hard work and all that other propagandist nonsense was washed away by two straight years of unemployment. I've been hating on Obama since before it was cool and its really hard for me to understand how anybody can still, to this day, buy into the lies of these obvious grifters like Warren and Butt selling their ivy league incrementalist snake oil.

That said, I do think there is a bunch of the Warren types that were honestly relieved when she came out and said she wasn't going to fight for M4A, though. I get the impression that one of the appeals of incrementalism for centrists and liberals is that it means they won't actually have to fight or put in any effort to meet the goals they say they want to achieve. They can always kick it down the road and still feel good about themselves for being on the right side. Bernie makes them anxious and upset because he wants you to fight and keep fighting until we get what we want. He's asking people to step up and actually do something instead of going back to sleep like its 2012 and if he wins the fight won't be over. I think that's why they always act like they are being attacked when socialists question their ideology - they believe they share the same goals but they don't want to be made to feel bad for not doing anything to achieve those goals.

EDIT: Slightly more seriously, one of my earliest recollections was my father explaining what a nuclear exchange between the US and the USSR would mean and getting scared to death that any moment now the reds would launch their birds and we'd all die, because that's the sort of thing those evil commies yearned to do if given half a chance.

Oh god. I got the whole "no one would ever actually be stupid enough to start a nuclear war" speech at least once, which I'm sure was meant to be comforting.

voting for hillary clinton in the general was my worst mistake, and it's the last one of those i will make.

if the succ wants me to support someone other than bernie, then i guess they need to put up someone who isn't a giant piece of poo poo.

part of that would involve repealing the 'invade the hague' act, and also being a signatory on the international criminal court.

also: there's a lot of people from the reagan administration that are still alive, and still culpable for their crimes against humanity.
