the succ zone went over this and the scuttlebutt is that Lee Carter probably is behind on child support, but what little we know of the case suggests that he's at least also, if not the only, victim of a bad past relationship

it's a little of column a and b.

lee carter trolling actually pisses me off because he's just this goony dude who in spite of surviving the poverty meatgrinder that is enlistment and an abusive relationship, he came out a kind decent guy who does demonstrably good things for his constituents running as an open socialist. but because he occasionally posts cringe and fits the template of a soyboy the irony-poisoned crowd can't help themselves around him, even though he's done more just as a state legislator and has more working class bonafides than slay kween AOC. sure maybe he has the distant vibes of a Nathan J Robinson but he doesn't act like an anglophile fop and he's actually improved the lives of thousands of working class people

it got buried by the coronavirus but Carter scored a really nice legislative victory in early March by getting a bill passed that capped medicine prices in Va

I kinda assume that the people saying leftists need to buy guns and the people who demanded the DSA ban clapping because it's too loud are the same people

It went a bit further, they wanted to ban it because it was ableist against people who got powerful anxiety from noises louder than the placating hum of a PC ventilator.

Banning excessive clapping and other proclamations of assent is actually not that extreme - it has been common praxis on the left wing for ages because trots and tankies used to dominate meetings by inviting all their friends and shouting critics down instead of arguing with them before.

It's only for general assemblies and stuff like that, chill the hell out. Also, cause and effect, you should consider that tankies and trots are in fact why leftism is eternally doomed :eng101:

The best explanation I've heard is basically that Illinois was such a lock that all the people from Illinois who were really excited about electing Obama drove across the border into Indiana and did their organizing and volunteering there instead. That combined with it being such a massive Democratic wave election was enough to juuust barely tip Indiana over, 50%-49%

My personal theory is that it’s because a candidate of “change” can win here, but by 2012 his true neoliberal colors had become apparent and he lost that edge. My only real evidence is that Bernie won our primary last time. This time we didn’t even get to vote for him before he dropped :(

The explanation I heard was that auto manufacturing is a big part of Indiana's economy, and in November 2008 it looked like there was a very real chance that one or all of the Big 3 would go under, and that was enough to scare even white Indiana voters to vote for the black guy.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
