A lot of people don't understand that an elite education and career path are both designed to inculcate you with ruling class ideology, which is completely alien to what anybody you know or would meet on the street think.

Is she just a really good speaker? she's a demonstration of performative repentance "oh, look how serious we are, we're letting a little girl scold us. what's that? no, no, we're not actually going to do anything and of course she doesn't have any power, that's why we're letting her do this!"

lol remember when they published a bunch of journal entries that bernie made 30 years ago where he was talking about how sad he was that his life wasn't going like he wanted and he felt like he wasn't able to be a good enough dad to his kid or make things work out with jane, with the idea being that this all made him look bad

Radish posted:They are so isolated into their bubbles of people that have literally no idea how life is like for 95% of the country they don't understand how someone could find a mercenary psycho like Pete to be off putting. I think decades ago there might have been people that understood that they were "better" but still able to sell the idea that they understood the troubles of the average person. However like how the Republicans now are true believers in all of the Fox News bullshit, the modern Democratic insider grew up overdosing on NPR or whatever and really believes that everyone loves how everything works now and that Democratic leaders with their clean cut and manicured histories free of any real struggle are clearly inspirational leaders. bill clinton was from arkansas, had an accent and grew up in a poor family so he could mostly pretend to be an actual person despite having been turned into an elite psycho through education and being a lawyer, a profession designed to replace empathy with property code. and he was running against h.w., who was as patrician as they get. buttigieg otoh doesnt have that, which is why he has to play up the small town mayor thing a lot

U of C is probably the most prestigious university for History majors for whatever that's worth. (Nothing. History is a dying loving major and has been for decades) e: Berkeley fanboys fuckoff and die, if you were worth anything YOU'D have the Achaemanid records moldering in your basement Zedhe Khoja has issued a correction as of 22:37 on Dec 11, 2019 |

Jon Irenicus posted:how does bernie get more relatable every day? https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/05/bernie-sanders-brutally-honest-mayoral-memos/ posted:Part of Sanders’ anxiety about his future may have been due to his finances. Though his recent bestselling books have made him a millionaire, he spent his twenties and thirties barely making ends meet. Before becoming mayor, he had been a freelance writer and had run an educational film company out of his car. Getting elected to public office meant the first steady paycheck of his adult life. As a divorced dad with a job that wouldn’t last forever, money was still tight, and his son, Levi, would soon be heading off to college. Included among Sanders’ papers at the University of Vermont are bank statements, an overdue gas bill, and a letter from an acquaintance asking Sanders to pay back $250 he had borrowed seven years earlier.

The best Bernie story still had to be the time he ran a extension cord into his landlord's apartment basement to steal electricity.

Radish posted:The fact these media idiots never stop being dumbfounded when no one cares about their hot takes Bernie was poor thirty years ago when whatever Wunderkind they are pushing had a job at Evil LLC lined up before they even left grad school is always hilarious. I think Trump is also a nation equivalent joke of when you let silver spoon kids with Business/Economics degrees run things.
