I'm going to get alot of poo poo for this but that isn't a bad stance to take as long as

a) the person is religious and the area is a red zone
b) the person doesn't actively try to harm existing abortion rights
c) the person is a real progressive on every other issue
d) the person is actively working with local activists

Heath Mello getting his mayor campaign torpedoed because a national organization decided to trigger a giant firestorm without talking to people on the ground first is a good example. https://www.thenation.com/article/why-was-heath-mello-thrown-under-the-bus/

Nope, being anti-reproductive rights is as bad as being anti-civil rights for racial minorities. If you want to be pro-life then the GOP is over there.

For Nebraska and with a policy that was guaranteed to pass? Yeah.

But hey, who gives a gently caress about the activists on the ground who supported him or the rest of his record. Cast them all out of the party!

Yes, cast them out! I don't give a poo poo about "building bridges" with loving conservatives and authoritarians, they don't need to be bargained with they need to be destroyed.

The nastiness started from the Hillary camp, buddy, and a lot of the "not letting go" has to do with literal cheating being used with impunity to ratfuck anybody not called HRC.

And don't forget trying to co-opt and neuter the #Resistance movement.

Capitalism sucks NOW, but it doesn't have to. Pretending we have to throw the baby out with the bathwater is infuriating. We can make capitalism better with regulation, social safety nets, and UBI. It will still be capitalism with all those things.

No we can't. Capitalism is like a scorpion, it cannot help it's nature.

quote:

Capitalism today is a perversion of what it should be. I think we can fix it, and we don't have to turn to the failed ideologies of socialism and communism. social capitalism is where we need to be. The problem is that anyone that advocates for this is a dirty centrist and will be ridiculed.

Capitalism today is as close to what it's greatest proponents imagined it could be. We are in a new gilded age that would make the greediest railroad baron recoil in horror.

Social Democracy has been tried and failed. You cannot humanize capitalism. It will find a way to get rid of those social safety nets in the name of profits.

Democratic Socialism is the way forward. Sorry if this makes you mad and upset and lash out like a child.

I was going to respond, but Matt already did. So, what he said.

This has to be exaggerated or something right? They aren't actually not running a candidate for governor in one of the country's biggest states?

I guess they figured since they were just going to run another Republican-Lite why bother. :shrug:

just keep digging that hole. every time antifa is accused of "turning things violent" it turns out to be the other way around. happened with charlottesville, and happened with other protests. and you idiots always jump forward to defend the "poor, peaceful nazis :qq:"

you just can't help but side with trump and defend his little fascist goons can you JC?

But why can't we just go back to the way things were where I had white privilege but didn't have to feel bad about it?

These liberals types want to have white privilege, feel bad about it, but do nothing to end it.

Do they though? I think it's more like they feel bad the way you feel bad when you see a penguin eaten by a seal, it's something inevitable and just part of the way life is.

They like to feel bad about it the way a certain type of catholic revels in their original sin—using it both as a signifier of their moral integrity and as an excuse for inaction.

Things I would like to know:

1. Why does everyone still feel skeptical about a Dem turnaround in 2018, despite everything Trump has done?
2. Why the hell did Pelosi condemn the Antifa, considering they're both opposed to Trump and facism?
3. Would a progressive administration taking after Bernie's policies even be able to implement them after 2020?

Yo, gently caress NPR. I'm listening now and the news guy just gave little 'hell yeahs' over the audio of Trump's tax reform bullet-points, stopping only to criticize repatriation of funds from tax havens.

What the gently caress, NPR

Turns out the petit bourgeois are self interested and don't care about the working class. Shocking I know.

If you're not willing to work with people who hate your enemies purely out of spite, give up now. This is America and you will have to acknowledge that group, on either side, if you want progress.

Also UBI is loving stupid and relies on this magical thinking that the people who control all the wealth will just keep us on welfare forever instead of coming to terms with the reality of class warfare like a job guarantee does.

No you don't? The HFC and Tea Party movement give nothing and win all the time.
