Chapo had a great episode. They are right the fact the dnc has to show its rotten core this early is great. Would like Matt to maybe return to his realization three or so episodes ago that the Dems are going the way of the whigs.

Pop the Left did a stream tonight about the Iowa results. They talk pretty seriously about the limits of a Sanders presidency, whether the movement behind him represents a genuine change in politics as usual, whether the radical left has lowered it's collective horizon to get behind him, and most importantly what "critical support" for social democrats by socialists and communists actually looks like.

I know some folks around here have an uncanny feeling about the sudden surge of enthusiasm for Bernie and want a reality check, so here it is.

advising against electoralism in the current political moment is stupid. there is no viable non-electoral push which can get concessions at the present time, and there won't be until the next big collapse at the earliest. sanders is by no means radical enough, but he's a drat sight better than anything else that's been viable in american electoral politics probably ever

What they actually say in the video is that you should support him up until the point when he's elected, then criticize him from the left.

he has no support among minority groups of voters still, and the democratic nomination is unachievable without that. he's done well in iowa where he focussed all of his efforts and he might make a decent second in NH, but there's no way he takes any of the southern states and sanders is going to have a decent delegate lead by super tuesday. yes, the spin is going to be that buttigieg is outperforming expectations, but spin can only achieve so much - if sanders establishes himself as a front runner by super tuesday, all the little graphics have to show him in the lead. that is enough.

the only candidate who was in a real position to beat him was biden, and biden's falling apart. right now, this is sanders' race to lose even factoring in press spin and party machining

Right, the two of them make it very clear that if you call yourself a communist or socialist and want anyone but Sanders to win the election, you are either extremely confused, or delusional.

its more the celebration when the reigning media narrative will be that bernie lost iowa, and they'll do their damndest to repeat that performance in new hampshire. i don't think buttchug will be the nominee, i just think their goal is to force a contested convention where they can brutalize bernie and install some empty suit. they don't care about winning against trump, they only have to make sure their corporate paymasters are not perturbed by even the mildest of social democratic reforms

ofc this is the democratic party we're talking about so it could be that every party official has some harebrained scheme for beating bernie and none of them can agree so they just trip over each others dicks until its too late. they could get us to a contested convention with pure incompetence too, i suppose

regardless, i've already put in for a week of vacation to go up to the convention and i'm bringing anyone else who wants to come too because if they ratfuck bernie... what happens, happens is all i'm saying

Maybe I'm naive but I do think the Iowa situation was largely a ratfucking of opportunity. The app failed out of standard incompetence/graft, and then they saw a chance to throw the whole thing into question and deny Bernie a clean win.

So New Hampshire is going to be the real test. It's just a regular primary, they should get the results that evening. But are the Democrats willing to completely destroy themselves? Are they going to sabotage or spike every single primary, completely discrediting themselves in the process, just to deny Bernie victory? Are they willing to gently caress up so many primaries that not enough delegates have been awarded for anybody to have a majority on the first ballot?

I think that's the real question going forward. To what extent are the Democrats willing to overturn the table to stop Bernie from winning.

Biden drops out after NV, or even New Hampshire, and Pete becomes the new "name recognition"/default guy.

Everybody who thinks there's some grand conspiracy to get Bloomberg or Hillary at a contested convention is fooling themselves. They found their man, and they're going to shove him through. Getting minority support is not going to be hard once the media is unified.

When there's a series of fuckups and every single one benefits the establishment, that's functionally identical to a conspiracy.

incompetence and chaos provides opportunities for whoever commands the structures in play to put their thumb on the scale. this is a big part of why people are saying that incompetence/malice isn't that big a distinction - a half-assed process is much easier to rig.

LMAO if you think CNN + a few CIA visits to some prominent South Carolina pastors won't fix that real quick.

The Chapo narrative about "people don't pay attention until right before an election" definitely applies here. Liberals who are 35+ years old are the only people left in the US who still trust media and traditional authorities/experts.
