What is it with leftists getting suckered by Politico headlines? I think Sarah Jones stumbles on one a week. Read the article. Markos kinda calling him a dick is as bad as it gets. Also, there's this: quote:Staffers and aides are willing to give him time, for now. But they worry that Sanders won’t decide until too late for many of them to be able to go to other campaigns if he sits 2020 out, and that frustrates them. They worry that he hasn’t processed what really running again would entail, and is convinced it would be lightning in a bottle again. drat you Bernie staffers! How dare you besmirch his name!

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:A bit of bad news about the 'stache. Given the close ties elected wingnuts have to Breitbart, Alex Jones, whackadoo megachurches, various post-Klan offshoots in the South, etc., I have no problem with mustache guy being a loony toon on the tweets.

Skex posted:Oh and what is wrong with people with this whole "Replace Pelosi" nonsense. She's literally one of the founding members of the Progressive Caucus you nitwits so if you claim to be a leftist while calling for her to be replaced you are just doing the DLC and Blue dog's dirty work. Nancy Pelosi won't successfully destroy capitalism, and is also vilified by Republicans, so we must replace her with someone that 1) will not be vilified by Republicans; and 2) will successfully destroy capitalism. Yes, these two can absolutely live in harmony because thingy

Condiv posted:as opposed to the dems who haven't done anything of note since november 8th har har, lol dems, Hamala Karris. My friend, I want Our Revolution to be more than it is. I'm not opposed to it. But when my local one can't rear end itself to get moving on anything*, I'm going to criticize. Yes, yes, Online Solidarity, don't let the neolibs see us fight, I'm a traitor to leftism, etc., etc. Christ. "Know why the Dems suck? All they say is 'we're better than Republicans'." mild criticism of a leftist group "YEAH BUT STILL BETTER THAN DEMS" * That's not fair of me, they supported a DSA candidate who got elected in a bipartisan city council in a newly created small town, so yay.

Quick single payer aside: What happens to reproductive rights? "We'll just never ever elect Republicans" isn't an answer. (Like, I don't even know how you deal with this honestly, I'm opening it to the floor)

Crowsbeak posted:Jonah Goldberg was right. Liberalism is fascism with a smile. Jonah Goldberg's argument in that book is essentially "Hitler was a vegetarian, liberals are vegetarians, therefore (armpit fart)." Additionally, he thinks that while liberals are fascists, leftists are super-fascists. FWIW
