Why are parts of liberal twitter making GBS threads on unions and Fight for $15 the day after Trump has decided to insult the entire labor movement?

As far as I can tell, some of them seem to think that Bernie criticizing Clinton for supporting a $12 min wage instead of $15 hurt her campaign and helped Trump win.

So in other words, they're morons.

Read of the day, some of the stuff in here from the HRC campaign is insane http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/michigan-hillary-clinton-trump-232547

I have been extremely nude and mad about this all morning.

Actual grassroots support came to her offering to help and the campaign was like "Nah we're good. We're just gonna spend a million dollars to run a bunch of sock puppet Twitter accounts that tweet about BernieBros so that it looks like we have grassroots support." Jesus.

David Frum probably makes me angrier than any other conservative pundit because without fail, five minutes after he's denounced Trump for something or other he's back to tweeting Daily Mail articles about keeping Germany for Germans. I have a mini-stroke every time I see people talking about how he's one of the reasonable conservatives.

Which is to say, l-o-loving-l at that BOFA.

It's a reaction to Trump's election, pretty much. It's not a new idea but the concept that the failure to provide real solutions to working people leaves space for lovely racist demagogues to pick up their votes seems pretty relevant right now.

I'm still wondering where the Nazi obsession with "debating" people came from. Right wing people are loving obsessed with doing that poo poo for every little thing, while I think debates are usually worthless outside of academia and running a political campaign.

Was this a notable trait of actual German Nazis? Because otherwise it seems like it's just a result of the fact that most of the current crop are sadsacks justifying their loner status by convincing themselves that people just can't handle their superior intellect. Which, to Jonas Albrecht's point, ties in with the fact that a lot of these guys are/were also MRA/PUAs, gamergators, libertarians, etc.

Anytime these people get mocked online they do the "Aha! Your use of memes about brain disease instead of an actual response proves that you are unable to defeat my superior logic!" thing. So I'm pretty sure it's just self-delusion to avoid grappling with the fact that every conversation they engage in ends with the other person laughing at their mush brains.

The Canadian drugs thing was an amendment to repealing Obamacare. So even if it had passed (hint: not a single amendments passed) then all the Democrats would still have voted against the final bill.

There are just a lot better reasons to hate Booker than a vote on an amendment that wasn't going to pass on a bill Democrats all should vote against anyway.

If the amendment didn't matter then why did Booker vote it down?

You gotta love how this article says there were reports of violence, then in the very next sentence says the cops denied that this was true. They link to the article where they apparently heard of these reports, and the only time they're mentioned in that article is in Milo's tweet which says there "were reports" of people smashing poo poo. Good job everyone. Journalism!

I'm pretty over the Daily Show style stuff in general but to be completely fair, like 70% of my annoyance at Oliver probably has more to do with seeing "Watch John Oliver EVISCERATE Trump and BATHE IN HIS BLOOD" on Facebook every Monday morning than with the actual show itself.

Like someone else said, the reporting on their long-form segments is great.

Nazis, and really all fascists, only believe in free speech and civil discourse as a cover until they've gained enough power to disregard those things. They don't get to cynically hide behind a social contract they'll ignore the second they think they have the clout to do so.

More importantly, it's what Indiana Jones would do and it's hilarious.

Given how DSA is organized, I don't really see the problem there either aside from more or less academic concerns about whether the national org should endorse candidates or whatever. If there are sufficient numbers of people in a given local who want to pursue non-electoral stuff, they're pretty much free to go ahead and do it.

I'm still new so maybe I'm just not up on how big a role the national organization plays, but it seems like it pretty much just exists for visibility, onboarding new members, and for facilitating the formation of new local chapters.
