When are food prices projected to go up because of harvest failures since they got rid of all of the immigrant labor that does it? A lot of the red states cut SNAP so the combination of those things will be a huge disaster.

Business Gorillas posted:

what you're talking about is actual incrementalism, which is good

the suck zone version of incrementalism is immediately starting at a compromise (either out of bad faith or refusing to use the bully pulpit) and compromising again and again until almost nothing happens

the second version has been used pretty consistently by the business wings of both parties to stave off any populist policy. an unintended consequence of this is the gradual erosion of belief in "the process" to the point that the entire government is the enemy to the common man, but i guess that doesn't matter too much when you're retired on your whore island (paid for by corporate donations to your campaign) at that point

I don't think its quite the same because a lot of it is big stuff. Like corporate speech restrictions, breaking up blatant monopolies, removing the anti-union bits of taft-hartley, changing the tax code, &c.

When I think incrementalism I think :smugdon:

is "they're not corrupt, they're totally spineless and put party politics over country" supposed to make me feel better?

edit: if we need to beat some of them with progressive candidates anyways, why don't we just get rid of all of them? sounds like keeping a bunch of spineless centrists around who apparently buckle at the slightest amount of resistance is bad for fights that will happen when said progressive candidates start pushing for anti-corporate policy

I tried this where I used to live and it was nigh impossible to do it through party frame work. They don't even care about winning as long as the "right" person is the candidate. The "right" person meaning whoever was buddies with the party officers.

Agreed, I just meant that even if somehow it did happen and were actually used to fund retraining programs, it wouldn't do a god damned bit of good. We've already tried to do retraining with coal workers and they just steadfastly refuse to take advantage of the programs because surely god emperor Trump will bring back coal any day now.

I think its more that they are unwilling to retrain to something that is not guaranteed to employ them nor guaranteed to pay the same or better than what they got as a miner.

except the people from that "nfl is niggers for life" article where a dude had like 150+ jobs available in his factories or whatever but all these miners in the area refused to retrain because they just love coal so goddamned much

like the jobs were there, they were just stubborn jackasses

I'll give you that a minority of them are retarded fuckos but, I need some kind of evidence if you're going to suggest its anymore than that.

Think about it, if you had a job that paid 80k/yr and someone comes to tell you about this retraining program that might get you a job paying a third of what you previously made. Are you going to take them up on it? gently caress no.

Lebanon county like an hour from Philadelphia and even closer to other small cities. there is no excuse to being that insular except you want to be.

There's literally no excuse for being insular in pennsylvania if you're near a city. The northeast has Scranton and Hazleton. The southeast has Philly, Allentown and a whole bunch of other almost cities.

Alright you got me for the middle portion because the only thing going for middle pennsylvania is Centre county which when I was there was busy trying to cover for child sex abuser football coach.

The West has Erie and Pittsburgh. Which are both huge and have their own almost cities around them.

BiggerBoat posted:

I don't think it's fair or accurate to attribute around half of Americans not bothering to vote simply to being uninspired.

There's an element of laziness, willful ignorance and "both sides" bullshit, along with disenfranchisement and the fact that many people work two jobs or don't have ONE that will excuse them long enough to get it done. If you're a wage earner, have a kid, any sort of health or transportation issues and lack in free time in general, it can be a chore. I've met a ton of people who wear the not voting badge as a symbol of honor and gently caress that.

Fact is, when turnout is high, leftist policies and democratic candidates do well but, also, sitting around and waiting for the perfect candidate to "inspire" you when you either lack the ambition or the time to get involved is often a total cop out. You can make the time once every 4 years - at least most people can.

I loathe the idea of a Joe Biden candidacy and hope he's not our nominee but I will crawl across broken glass to vote for him if it comes to that. I don't think that makes me part of a larger problem in and of itself. Maybe it does.

I echo the perfect candidate thing. Purity tests are stupid and prevent progress from happening. However, I'm not voting for a candidate that's essentially a republican with a D next to their name. No more third way, no more corporatism, no more coddling rich people, no more ignoring the climate troubles, no more bullshit justice system, no more criminal finance system. My vote is going to Bernie whether he's the nominee or not.

I'm not even 100% sure you can chalk it up to outright racism. Which sucks because at least that would make a type of sense. A lot of people are just short-sighted, selfish, proudly ignorant and just overall idiots. Although obviously racism gets its thumb on the scale.

I'm not from that state, but I see the same stuff in my smaller town and around my redneck state. Oh sure, just slash the entire arts and culture budget. It's fine and there's definitely no way to pay for it. Sure, refuse to pay teachers anything close to a reasonable wage or give them healthcare. Sure, kill that school levy because how dare they raise a few million for a nice cafeteria that they're going to use for the next 20 years. Wait, they want to consolidate two schools out of desperation (and to address how few people are left). I will scream to the heavens until you stop. Then I'll vote no on the next levy. Sure, waste a shitload of money on coal subsidies, and keeping a coal power plant open and refuse to collect taxes on the coal companies.

Oh, wow, the state's broke and we have lovely schools and no culture or anything to do, and no wants to live here. Who could have seen that coming?

It's a special kind of broken brain issue and I'm really not sure how anyone can fix it, except for no joke taking away 60+ year-olds' right to vote.

Its this. I'm in one of the only jobs that pays a decent wage and the townies are spiteful AF. My name and salary is in the paper twice a year as a "look at how your tax dollars are spent." Every time there's a teachers strike cause the school board is full of chuds the townies freak out "teachers shouldn't strike they make too much money!" Add stubborness and racism to the mix. There's basically no hope for this area to become something decent and the only saving grace is the median age is 60~.

we�ve been through this before. we need progressive dems at all levels of government, especially congress, to get poo poo done. it�s a long term project. the short-term doomsday rhetoric is poison. it points all the grassroots energy into the presidential election for the big win instead of laying groundwork by working for progressive primary candidates downballot. and... it�s exactly the narrative used to push primary votes to status quo candidates like biden based on ~electability~
