Biden will continue to degrade and his staff, in order to protect their positions will continue to rationalize it and defend him "Its normal to drool on yourself, he has a speech impediment! Why are you being so callous to a disabled person to score political points!!" *Biden shoves his hand down his pants*

I felt like this was simplistic at first, but I think there is a lot to it. Like when Nancy Pelosi said, "we're all about identity now," she meant it literally. Democrats are selling people a basket of cultural signifiers that reinforce their own sense of superiority over others. Voting Democrat proves you're a good person, and that's all that counts. Democrats themselves only need to serve the whims of market forces, because as an advanced bourgeois dictatorship those are the only forces that count.

I just wish I could understand why people think this is a party worth voting for; surely West Wing was not that popular. Party leadership and individual politicians are obviously incentivized to be the party of rhetoric and nothing else, but I’ve gone from wondering “why do poor people keep voting Republican” in 2012 (which isn’t actually very true anyway) to “why do poor and lower middle class people keep supporting neolibs” these days

not that I think voting even matters at this point; even beyond election fixing and the mathematical impossibility of getting enough people in the senate who aren’t awful and the dems’ insistence on not doing anything I think American institutions are so thoroughly compromised and broken that having a hundred communists in the senate couldn’t fix them without starting completely over

We still have 11 more months of bumbling non governance and right wing terrorism before people get to vote. There’s way lower lows for us to get to first.

literally every time i talk to my lib friends they can't believe i don't live in one of the, like, 10 acceptable coastal cities

when i point out even if i wanted to live in them i can't afford it, i get "but i love it here."

okay great find me an apartment in my price range

talking to californians in particular is like talking to a chili peppers song ~hey oh day oh me oh my oh you should move to cal-i-for-nia~

but they sure know what us hicks that live in the sticks need to do to get our lives together

(nevermind that overall i like living in the southeast, weather is nice, good food, cost of living isn't $1500 for a studio or 1BR)

they do get real mad when you point out that if they want to claim they care about black people they can't write off an entire swath of the country that's full of black people

the problem is, of course, is that the flyover states are actually inahbited by demons and every human who can leave should leave.

when it comes to the south, well, i fully believe america's gravest mistake was not finishing the job in 1865 when we had the chance.

nah sherman had the right plan, he wanted to hang the entirety of the planter aristocracy and size all their land, money and property, which would then be redistributed as reparations to both slaves and the familes of dead/wounded union soldiers.

then create a black grendarmie that would be armed with captured southern weapons to enforce the peace.

a good post about the Democrats from a UK observer

multijoe posted:

idk this does feel like cope at this point, we've had our perfect (or close as we were ever likely to get) once in a generation shot at a left-wing leadership and the left inside the party and the unions were profoundly unready for dealing with the insane malice of the right, now they're going to be bolting up every single lever of power to make sure that can never happen again and I don't get the impression any lessons have been learnt from the labour left at what would have to be done to avoid repeating the mistakes of Corbyn if we ever did end up with another left leader

honestly I don't see any future in this country where things don't get dramatically worse for a good long time but destroying the party would at least create the space for something new to emerge which isn't rotted to the core by decades of control by the worst people in politics, at this point Labour is basically in the same polition as the US Democrats, a nakedly cynical controlled opposition that would gladly throw itself on a pyre for the right to ensure socialists never take control
