papa horny michael posted:The parliamentarian is an advisor, and what they say at any time is not law, or a meaningful rule. The senate parliamentarian is nothing at all but a justification being used by biden and the democratic party at large to not raise the minimum wage. That's it. yeah, they don't want to force Sinema or Manchin to take a vote which might embarrass them and this is more important to the democrat party than helping poor people

i keep seeing democrat defenders saying there’s nothing the party can do to manchin/sinema to get them in line because theyre in safe seats, apparently. i dont know how to interpret this except as basically putting the blame on voters in WV/AZ for the government’s fecklessness

loquacius posted:A fair request Sure. I was in Bolivia in 2016 doing aid work while Evo was trying to get his constituional amendment passed to let him do the extra term. Bolivians were talking about it constantly, and there were very mixed feelings. Undoubtedly the guy has done immense good for Bolivia, but people were really wary about his growing authoritarian tendency. This was in cocha, not santa cruz or something. working people and students. I thought Evo was loving great for a long time. But he's a man, and men are fallible, and we shouldn't put men on pedestals. I don't think the coup was right or justified, but i also don't think evo was justified in grabbing for more power pre-coup rather than stepping aside and enthusiastically supporting a good successor. I'm enormously glad that the coup failed and that the people of Bolivia still have a democratic government.

if anything that outlines more how he felt about not tarnishing his legacy by endorsing any candidate. And with warren eventually knifing Bernard, it could simply be that same strategy. prop warren up so as to attack the guy who would have won.

"the people there were absolutely totally in agreement with me. they were all working people and students, too! the fact that, you know, morales was working entirely within the courts and legal system and conclusively won the election, which might imply that actually maybe people weren't 'talking about it constantly' and had 'mixed feelings' about my vague assertions? nah, that has no bearing on my claims, of course!" or there's, idk, the whole thing where bloomberg literally did forcibly extend his term limit as mayor. weirdly, I didn't hear my fellow new yorkers mumbling about coups!

quote:Obama paused for a moment, collecting himself before shocking the audience with the singular message that he had wanted to deliver. He embraced the prospect of a Warren presidency. After nearly eleven months of campaigning, the race looked like it had stabilized with four truly competitive candidates: Joe, Bernie, Elizabeth, and Pete. Each had a claim to the advantage; no one was a prohibitive favorite. Until the past week or two, though, Warren had been rising steadily. The biggest obstacle to her success, it seemed, was convincing the establishment that she was truly different from Bernie, enough of a mainstream politician to be trusted with the reins of government. Now Obama was making that case for her. quote:Obama paused again, before making his final appeal, squarely addressing the elephant in the room, in a tone that was half- ribbing and half- reprimanding. “So what if she raises your taxes a little bit? Compare that to what we have now.” This was definitely not a time to sit on the sidelines, Obama said with some urgency. If Warren won the nomination, he said he would support her and stressed that he wanted Wall Street and corporate types to do the same. “Everyone in this room needs to pull their weight,” he said. Republicans, he continued, are winning cycle after cycle, up and down the ballot, because their donors care more than the Democrats’ donors. quote:Like so many other Democrats, he saw Warren, who had taken the lead in Iowa from Biden in late September, barreling toward the nomination. It was time to start swinging folks in his coalition behind her. The persuasion effort among Black men would be as difficult as it was crucial. Hillary’s loss could be attributed in part to insufficient support among Black men in major cities, and she had never had the support of elite Black men that she had among Black women. Things would have to be different for Warren. She would need the votes of Black men on the ground and the money of Black men in boardrooms— especially because she had forsworn buckraking with wealthy donors.
