I'm sorry, I though clearing the field of challengers for a coronation because It's His Turn was supposed to be bad now???

He was never really in a position to "go after" Wall St. (he was doing voting rights at DoJ) but did implement the Fiduciary rule at DoL (Wall St. can't intentionally gently caress over its retirement clients) and the overtime rules

Aurubin posted:It is bad. You're right. Smug but right. The problem is Perez has no appreciable electoral experience and is in the race solely because Obama wants him to be. After Tim Kaine and DWS, I'd rather not see anyone from the Obama camp in the running. Yeah I'm fine with the symbolic break from Obama (although keep in mind that y'all are doing to him what y'all love to claim Gore did to Clinton: try to run away from a popular ex-president), but I also don't think Ellison winning a single House seat really sets the groundwork for a 3000-odd county organization

Oh Snapple! posted:people would likely be less annoyed over perez if there was any indication he was running because he himself thought he was the best person for the job and not because obama's camp convinced him to out of a last-ditch effort to maintain a stranglehold over the party.

anime was right posted:when i grew up my dad would take me to the diner and he'd just order a coffee and toast. it cost like 2 bucks but the toast was always pretty good and we'd just chill there for four hours while he read the paper and i played gameboy, because there was nothing else he could afford. now i eat diner toast not because its particularly good but because i grew up in a lovely envornment where that was considered ritzy and exciting for my dad who was an assistant manager at a completely different diner. there's a non-chain diner by my house and no poo poo their toast is like the best thing they have and I'd almost go there and just order toast if I could whatever fake butter they use is just amazing

Hillary lost primarily because of issues which are personal to herself as an individual (EMAILS) as opposed to any policy issue While Bernie would have won, so too would have Biden

Ace of Baes posted:Because Hillary lost by such a small margin (against the second worst candidate of all time) you can blame the %1 difference on anything, a better question is what caused her to get to the point where she was neck and neck with the racist reality TV star who insults dead war heros parents, and the answer isn't "emails". Pretty sure it's her personal negatives as opposed to neoliberalism or whatever, given the respective fav./unfav. numbers for her vs. Was Actually President For The Last Eight Years Barack Obama

Like I don't see how you lay Clinton's unpopularity on neoliberalism when Obama, harbinger of neoliberalism who is actually in office and therefore actually caused whatever's going on, is popular Something more than that is going on, and it's likely that it was something about her personally as opposed to any sort of policy considerations

actually welfare liberalism as exemplified by Bernie is bad because it's just gonna be coopted by neoliberalism 2.0 when capital responds to Trump's trade wars by giving the poors free healthcare and school while still pocketing rents while keeping wages at 1970s levels. at least everyone knew that there was space to the left of Hillary socialism is the only answer
