Democrats should pass a law that says you have to call them "clips" instead of "magazines" and then harness the heat emitted by the ever-building internal rage of gun forum dudes as a green energy program.

Putin runs a mafia state and funds propaganda against the US, but that doesn't mean that every single site critical of the American empire is part of his web. Russia also didn't poison Hillary Clinton, run a banking server out of Trump's basement, hack Michigan's non-existent voting machines, or secretly tape a Trump orgy. If you're concerned about the effect of fake news and propaganda, inventing conspiracy theories to explain an embarrassing electoral loss is not a good way to fight back.

Paul Ryan's majority shrank this election and it was already precarious beforehand. He's got a bunch of loonies on his right that are ready to torch the whole place if he doesn't agree to defund the government. Given that, the Democrats' best strategy in the House, which is an entirely majoritarian body, is to march in lockstep unity and force him to make concessions or achieve nothing. Pelosi has six years of experience showing she can do this. I do understand the desire to force a change of leadership, and especially understand why members from the rust belt don't like her after she purged them from the environmental committee and replaced them with Californians to force CAFE standard through when she was the Speaker. There's also the mild corruption stuff, like using military flights to shuttle her family around. I don't think any of that is worth putting an untested, potentially divisive, leader in charge of a group that has no power if it splinters right now.

Thoguh posted:The house doesn't filibuster so what's the benefit of a minority leader being good at keeping party discipline in line? She can help make sure they lose votes by smaller margins? Paul Ryan needs 218 votes to pass anything. He has 233 Republicans, about 40 of whom are totally nuts.

CubsWoo posted:In 13 years as minority leader and Speaker she has seen the Democrats lose a net 11 seats in the House and is basically the DC Democrat Establishment figurehead, continuing on with her as leader sends a signal that nothing went wrong in 2014 or 2016 and nothing needs to change. Yup, that's a problem that needs to be addressed. If I thought replacing Pelosi with Tim Ryan would help that along more than the Democrats will benefit from having her head the House conference right now, I'd support his candidacy for leader.

Serf posted:I am woefully not up on Chomsky as well. I thought the dude was just a linguist until recently. Where should you start with his work? Manufacturing Consent is his most accessible work. There's even a documentary version if you're lazy and don't want to read a million footnotes about East Timor. There are two things to remember about Chomsky: (1) nobody is going to be able to effectively summarize his work in a forum post, and (2) he's nowhere near as radical as he or his critics would like to pretend.
