And yet, universal health care and legal weed and free college aren't in the platform. Biden can't do the right thing even if it's popular

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize we were allowed to just blatantly ignore the will of a minority group (donors) when making decisions. Real progressive of you.

biden has already had several sister souljah moments most of the black speakers at the rnc were very diligent when it came to reminding us about them

as a matter of fact, Biden managed to nullify all of them by stating that said constituents aren't black to begin with

At least Clinton had the historical significance of being the country's first female president. Biden is just another old white dude but this time significantly older than average.

looks like the moronic smoothbrained dipshits who have columns or write op-eds and have been wrong about literally everything for decades, and yet are the only people whose opinions are given the weight to guide Democratic policies, are screaming for Biden to take an even harder line against the protesters and more emphatically defend are cops.

what a fuckin trainwreck lmao, I know a couple libs for whom the protest response so far was the last straw and if he doubles down he's gonna lose even more of his base while gaining absolutely nobody to his right

Feel like the country is so broken and all our systems so tilted there is no longer any chance or ability to produce people able to actually envision or enact reform and electoral politics will remain shuffling deck chairs until the entire country collapses into the underground oligarchy of the mole princes.

It's a bit comforting and freeing because it doesn't mean I have to succumb to doom and give up, I can care deeply and accept the entropy simultaneously, refocusing my energy to the local problems I can help with instead of worrying about the byzantine nature of our national character and the far-off and distant legislative branch who i have as much chance of affecting with my limited power and agency as wishing a star down from the sky.

oh we're producing them alright, we're producing them in such numbers in fact that the only people allowed to opine on politics at any big platform or hold power are the same people who were doing it 40 years ago and why every decade what is considered "young" goes up another decade. Young now is "under 50" lmfao, due half to it being decades since anybody in power giving any young person a reason to buy in to the status quo and half to plain old gerontocracy entrenching itself

Yah thats what I meant, the systems are all so busted that they can't get access to power, which is functionally the same as not existing really.

I'm not going to be too critical of the players. In walking out and disrupting the playoffs in support of BLM, even for just a few days, they did more with their platform than almost anyone else, including the actual politicians. Of course the corporate entity is going to co-opt and undermine their message, and the player association is run by the huge stars whose interests are almost directly aligned with the corporate entity.

literally all trump has to do is keep calling them far left radicals and the right will believe it and the dems will spend all their time going "No! We'll keep the immigrant camps and the anti-muslim laws and the lovely healthcare system and the bloated military budget and replace the white house flag with a blue lives american flag!" until their entire base just slowly shuts down and turns to dust

part of our responsibility is showing people how entrenched the ruling interests are in this country

that means celebrating the intention of neophytic political demonstration while simultaneously pointing out the ineffectualness of its methods

we want people trending toward our movement and encouraged to try again harder, not ostracized because they didn't stick an impossible landing on their first attempt

what the nba players did was a good first step
