Seeing people defend the obama speech thing is surreal. It's payment for services rendered to the financial services industry plain and simple, and anyone denying it is a shill or up their own woke rear end to an insane extent.

SSNeoman posted:Proud of ya dude. I don't spend as much time here as some of you, and no one I know of that's heard of this, from relatively apolitical people to liberals to leftists has anything good to say about it (right wingers hate the Democrats anyway so it makes no difference). My dad is a huge Obama fan and just shook his head when I asked him about it. I don't know whether you consider ordinary people 'relevant' or not, but there you go.

Brainiac Five posted:Why should we benefit American labor aristocrats over other sectors of the proletariat, especially by lying to ourselves about how protectionism on the part of the rich countries benefits the poor countries of the world? A rising tide lifts all boats --> bow to the whims of capital as it seeks to reduce cost centres and pits workers interests against each other.

Condiv posted:it's always surprising that we have to let the minimum wage keep falling or the economy will fall apart. i'm sure the rich, who are making more than ever year upon year could manage to share some of the money they stole from workers, but apparently that will destroy the economy? There's something like 30 trillion dollars stashed in offshore tax havens right now right? If the share of that belonging to US taxpayers/companies is roughly equivalent to the American percentage of worldwide GDP, there's a lot of money there that could be taxed and redistributed. In the face of such gigantic wealth inequality and the avoidance on the part of the rich to contribute to their country's upkeep, anyone fighting even the relative table scraps of 15/hr is a massive piece of poo poo.

VitalSigns posted:It's funny how liberals sold free market reforms and laissez-faire capitalism in the 70s-90s as a universally benevolent force that would lift all boats in a rising economic tide and end poverty forever at the end of history. But when that didn't happen and instead the poor got poorer, the middle class hollowed out and dropped into poverty, and the rich got richer, then instead of admitting they were wrong, liberals just adopted a new narrative that actually burgeoning poverty is good because those people suck anyway and now that we know who they are they can finally suffer as they always deserved. The 'we believe in the free market' is just cover for greed and corporate collusion. There's nothing 'free market' about blocking the importation of cheaper drugs to break up the pharma price cartel, but the democratic establishment seem to go against their cherished free market principles in this case: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/features/taibbi-on-republicans-and-democrats-blocking-drug-reimportation-w485638 Weird!

https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/877367888037818368 Democratic campaigns make more sense when you view them as vehicles for grift and giving each other money than actual attempts to win and/or improve the country. What's odd is why donors continue to waste money on these losers.

RedSpider posted:The left needs to drop this silly term 'progressive' in favor of the term 'socialism'. Centrists and corporate democrats are deceptively co-opting the term for themselves already. The term 'socialism' cuts through the bullshit, and no centrist will use it to refer to themselves for votes.  But you're right for the US

a good article https://www.dissentmagazine.org/online_articles/new-working-class-precarity-race-gender-democratsquote:Note the slippage: whatever program will appeal to the entity known as the “white working class” will not appeal to “minority groups,” who are joined together in this analysis with “moderate voters in the suburbs.” Has Mounk ever spoken to a working-class American outside of a customer transaction? It is difficult to imagine how the categories with which he operates could possibly have survived such an encounter. The American working class is, after all, less white than the rest of American society, and, by all survey evidence, has more left-wing political views—by dint of its composition by race and gender, as well as its class experiences.

VitalSigns posted:No they wouldn't, you put language in the bill that the single payer law will only go into effect subject to public approval of a ballot initiative (Prop WXYZ) that exempts its funding sources from Prop 98 or whatever that dumb school funding one is. If a democratic supermajority in a solid blue state with an economy that dwarfs that of most countries in the world refuses to implement UHC, I think it's time to give up on the democratic party.

yronic heroism posted:It's not about the primary, it's about what strategy to take after the primary's over if I don't much like the nominee. Voting for right wing democrats has entrenched their power in the party and has led to the material conditions people face in 2017. Continuing to vote for them is continuing to vote for wealth distribution upwards, the destruction of the middle class and austerity.

 20 point swing in 4 years. It's the right thing to do, it'll save money and there's votes in it. It'll take the load off a lot of private companies to provide insurance for their employees as well. Surely the Democrats can get funding from people other than health insurers.
