Revolution has nothing to do with marxism, its an economic theory

The 2020 democratic candidate should have correct and ethical policy positions, and then all correct and ethical people will vote for him/her/they. just my take

He came across as a one issue candidate, everything was about fighting Wall Street and the 1%.

Everything IS about fighting the 1% though

Minority leaders of the house and senate will be the two most prominent democrats for the next 4 years so yeah it seems important that they be on board with the socialist takeover

Otoh they do function as ultra-whips so a track record of keeping congressman in line would be a big point in Pelosi's favor I guess

Just my personal opinion: the Obama regime should not have committed human rights abuses like indefinite detainment, drone striking weddings etc

Here's another take: politicians have a moral obligation to the rural white poor regardless of if they are racist or have bad dental hygiene

I wonder if the democrats can snag working class white voters by explicitly and repeatedly promising to get them more money and expanded public services

enough of the counterfactuals, its literally and categorically impossible to learn by examining the past and wondering what COULD have been. We need to blindly grope towards the future without ever, ever turning around to look backwards

We shouldn't purge the moderates, we should give them multiple opportunities to reform themselves and adopt objectively ethical positions regarding wealth and wealth redistribution. and THEN purge the scum

I believe that this mysterious 1/4th of democrats can be persuaded to support wealth redistribution by careful rational appeals via targeted dialectics

My entire thesis has been that you and a lot of others here that act like you have no real interest in fixing the problem, instead giving out half-hearted responses when you're not busy getting high off of everyone's schadenfreude. So instead of sitting here telling me to try something else because I'm trying to make you do real work, why not loving do the real work. Stop with the loving eternal slapfight and figure out how to actually convince people. Stop with the smugness and actually engage people like a goddamn human being; you know, the thing you kept telling everyone else to do?

Friend, I think this is a false dichotomy. The best way to convince people is through dialectics; dialectics can only be honed by diligent practice. The more Business Gorillas expounds upon Marxist-Leninist principles itt, the better equipped they will be to handle face-to-face encounters with skeptical moderates

Clinton spent decades rubbing elbows with prominent members of the black community, so I've heard. i dunno who they are exactly, but Hillary does, so black people owed her their vote
