T-Paine's posting is what convinced me to go from "troops deserve respect support the troops oppose the mission bring them home" to "lol IED gophers". That and those troops in Iraq in 2004 with the "Halp Jon Karry" sign.

because the corporatist wing's idea of compromise is "we get more money, and they can go gently caress themselves."

unless they're talking about republicans, then it becomes "they get more money, and we'll go gently caress ourselves."

can't really unite under anybody that spineless.

Corporations are basically designed to think as short term as possible, so even though in the long term it makes sense not to slowly deprive humanity of resources and wealth they're going to actively resist anything that so much as raises the minwage past $12

So why didn't they run their own guy who was firmly in their pocket, but could reel of enough Bernieisms to be plausibly progressive enough to give cover to the voting members under pressure from the left? Perez doesn't even try. It's like they forgot what works or something.

Perez would be the most progressive chair in most of our living memories, but he was rolled out as the anti-Ellison so now he's a corporate whore.
