RIP Syndrome posted:I had to skip about 2000 posts so maybe this already came up, but -- And yet it will still be more than Obama ever even contemplated doing. It seriously cannot be stressed enough how utterly, utterly poo poo the democrats have been for the past several decades. The economy is now collapsing in large part because it was never really repaired after 2008. Corona is widespread because the ACA was a loving disaster that existed to benefit the health insurance industry. The republicans are bad, sure, but the democrats excel at choosing to gently caress americans for the benefit of business at every junction.

Democrats have completely alienated anyone under 40 and have condemned 8-15% of their most ardent supporters to die from a pandemic. It's a bold strategy (Tom) Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.

Nor was my post a defense of Obama, friend  It's just, Trump being associated with the left is going to be a mixed bag, especially since these moves are motivated by survival and not ideology. Also with hindsight my comment was more cranky than warranted

in these chaotic days, it's good to see fred kaplan still succs poo poo: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/03/sanders-drop-out-primary-coronavirus.html It was already past time for Sen. Bernie Sanders to drop out of the race for president, but now he can say he’s doing it to save hundreds, possibly thousands, of lives. Two dozen Democratic primaries remain before the July convention (if there is an actual convention). Each of them will violate the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines against gatherings of more than 10 people in a confined public space. If Sanders withdraws, rendering those primaries moot, he will prevent the coronavirus from spreading across thousands of precinct stations and their surrounding neighborhoods nationwide. Sanders could thus turn an admission of defeat into a noble stance of self-sacrifice for the health of the nation. It would be one thing if Sanders still had a plausible path to the nomination. But Joe Biden’s margin of delegates is all but insurmountably wide, and the primaries that remain—in such states as Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ohio, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey—will only widen that lead. Dropping out now, instead of waiting to suffer the calamity of more double-digit losses, would also allow Sanders to retain some dignity—and, more to the point, political leverage. In exchange for his early concession, he could ask for a half-hour of prime time at the convention (again, if there is one), a few planks on the party platform, a Cabinet slot if he wants one, or an important committee chairmanship if the Democrats retake the Senate. Biden’s recent endorsement of Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s plan for a new bankruptcy law (which goes against the one that he helped pass several years ago) was a sign of his pliability. It’s also one of several gestures that he’s been making to bring the party’s left wing back into its orbit. If Sanders moves quickly, he could make it more likely that he, and not Warren, would be treated as the leader and arbiter for that wing. The contest for the Democratic nomination is essentially over. Sanders can growl and scowl and keep talking about things that Biden voted for or against 25 years ago, and thus delay—possibly block—the unification of the party, accomplishing nothing except boosting the chances of Donald Trump’s reelection and endangering public health. Or he can smile, stand side by side with Biden, and emerge as a powerful mensch.

YaketySass posted:A bit late but lol, someone in the bad thread arguing that "giving poor people money free of charge instead of policing them to hell and back is libertarianism because it means you don't trust the government". As if doing exactly that isn't a widespread common sense policy if you're a social-democrat. No, bureaucracy is automatically left-wing and the more social control there is the leftier it is. lenin was right about the bureaucrats

RIP Syndrome posted:Nor was my post a defense of Obama, friend Think of his chaotic and ultimately fruitless actions as similar to the actions taken by the late ancien regime to shore up France in the 1780s. Many of them would be taken to much more effective measures by the French revolutionary government.

Phone posted:There is no lack of access to power or influence in America. The greatest stumbling block has been apathy, Bernie's failed campaign is a perfect example of that. The very people he sought to help couldn't get off their collective rear end to support him and effect change. If they did Biden would be a hilarious after thought at this point. It's not apathy, it's hopelessness. Disconnected voters don't vote because they rationally feel that nothing can be made better for them and the system is designed to leave them unsupported. Why should they trust Bernie or any politician? Pingui posted:Nah, Bernie is gonna win. His platform can still win.
