Fast Luck posted:There's definitely an issue that exists when there's a clearly more left-wing candidate (Bernie) with a superior record to Hillary's who's had his supporters smacked with the label "Bernie Bro" and called "white men" all campaign long, when Hillary says things like "if you break up the big banks, would that end racism," when people considering not voting for Hillary are accused of "privilege," and on down the line. They did it in the UK too, calling Jeremy Corbyn a "brocialist." It's incredibly unfortunate that cynical people would leverage the identity-based movement against the economic left wing, but I don't think any of us could have missed that it's happened, and on a massive scale. Look, corporations aren't bad, they're good, just check out the beautiful brand logos! https://www.buzzfeed.com/jarrylee/beautiful-rainbow-brand-logos-celebrating-marriage-equality It's not as bad as moneyed right interests but it is a distraction tactic for sure.

empireofcrime posted:gently caress you Reuters. Do they just like to pretend Democratic socialism isn't more left than centrist corporate current politics of most democrats? Like don't get me wrong anti establishment people will love to spite vote but I don't want a Trump presidency directly on my conscious, and will just vote Jill Stein or Bernie Sanders write in in the presidential slot.

Before we get into a nuke hard on fest, it's not really economically or environmentaly sound because solar is becoming cheaper and wind already is in some parts of the country. A wind turbine at worst can fall down, a nuclear plant requires vigilance and a lot of people to keep running. Fusion is probably the nuclear boat we should look into because it's safer and makes way more power.

You don't disparage and insult a demographic you polled 85 to 15 in and magically get that 85 entirely. Wouldn't be shocked if Jill does as well as Hillary in the election with milenials.

Like if you say Bernie has a black voter issue, Hillary has an entire age demographic problem that's insanely worse. Millenials hating her will probably doom her campaign. I also forgot this forum has a gently caress ton of gen y people since this forum is full of people in their late 30s and 40s so it's funny when they, who are still more often bernie supporters, comment on millenial berniecrats its like their first cane wave.

Nonsense posted:To be fair nobody is going to give a gently caress about what demographics she didn't get, unless she loses in November. Old people skew republican and without millenials to balance them out she's toast. Bernie or Bust is still growing along with the new left. Hillary won't beat Trump.

Hey yall without any engineering background do you know at all how much it costs to run, construct, and maintain any nuclear reactor? Solar panels are getting super cheap, battery storage tech is near breakthrough right now, and wind is even cheaper in some parts of the US. yall can dream of nuclear reactors but their affordability window has passed, to the point solar is cheaper to produce now than nuclear per KW.

Although the 6 hour probation smacked of the democracy spring slap-on-the-wrist zip tie "arrests". My Imaginary GF posted:Costs a shitload less than spending on healthcare, I tell you what. Quit being such a goddamn hippie and join me in advocating for the nuclear approach to environmental issues. Lol its not even a hippie view it's just there's cheaper alternatives much like how single payer healthcare would be cheaper than our current system while also being good.

I've also learned that by IRL being a more compassionate person that listens while also making a point and keeping a positive attitude it gets you way farther than being a cynical pedant that argues about everything also makes life way more enjoyable

I get to vote for Bernie in the primary tomorrow in Nebraska just for fun (it doesn't matter that much outside of just being on the ballot since the primary is more for other positions) then twice more at the county and state convention. I get to vote for Bernie like, four whole times! Better drat make it five or else I'll force it to be five with a write-in.

Man being a delegate is a sure great way to get a fuckton of political lobby mail and phone calls during your work day about why you should vote at the state convention for x person At least I finally got my official mayoral appointment letter today for the economic development committee, which will be used as a springboard in the future to help my platform for running for office along with serving as vice chair of my county party

Classic Comrade posted:it's not necessarily that they didn't show up in blue stronghold states, it's that the blue stronghold states are by and large staunchly establishment dem-run, and therefore are far more rejecting of 'outsiders' loving things up for them. Bernie didn't lose NJ though by even a close margin.
