Some good publications that write about US politics from a left wing or liberal policy perspective, and have weighed in on the state of the Democratic Party --

The American Prospect

N+1

Jacobin Magazine

The New Republic (hail Jeet)

The New York Review of Books

The London Review of Books

Edit- I forgot The Baffler, thanks Shear Modulus

Plus Vox.com has put on a few good takes since the election.

I have to pretend to work for a bit longer but when I'm done I can provide article rather than homepage links if there is interest.

Ed Balls.

from davidyankovich.com

quote:

His dad worked in the water distribution industry, and his mother was a property manager. He grew up playing soccer and football, and he played childhood chess games with his grandfather. He learned the importance of social justice, empathy toward others, and doing the right thing even when it is difficult. His passion for public service was sparked when, at 10 years old, he attended a campaign rally and met his new hero, then-First Lady Hillary Clinton.

After graduating from high school, David signed up to serve in the United States Navy. He had dreamed of serving in the military for years, inspired by his grandfather, who served in WWII. After nearly a year of training, he was heartbroken after being honorably discharged because of a childhood foot condition.

David followed in his mother�s footsteps and worked in property management while volunteering for Democratic campaigns in his spare time. Soon after his son was born, David began taking his son and daughter to political rallies for President Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton.

hahahahah this is so lovely but shouts to him for stealing valor

Pelosi pushed the party too far left and moved too fast on PPACA. That's why Democrats got smoked in 2010 and we lost a ton of sensible moderate lawmakers like Jason Altmire.

We need a no-nonsense Minority leader with a keen eye for winning over moderate and conservative voters in swing districts.

Owen Hatherley posted:

The hammer and sickle is the symbol of communism, but didn't exist in Marx's time. It was gradually adopted after the Russian revolution, first on demonstrations and by the Red Army, and was adopted as the official symbol of the Soviet Union in 1922. Its symbolism is extremely simple � a hammer, to represent the industrial workers; a sickle, to represent the peasantry.

The alleged ruling classes in the "workers and peasants republic" could see the main tool of their labour as the insignia of their country and their movement. It may have represented a lie, but a lie to which the symbol served as a constant reproach. And as a symbol it was clearly a smart choice � memorable and easily scrawled on walls, as any visitor to Naples or Athens can still attest. It also serves as a useful reproach to the idea that communism and nazism were fundamentally identical. The swastika, the Nazis' own version, dates from the same time, and was used first in 1919 by the Freikorps, the far-right mercenaries that the German Social Democrats used to suppress their communist opponents. The swastika literally represents very little. Hinduism maybe, to esoterics like Himmler; an image of sexual sublimation for Wilhelm Reich, who saw intertwined legs as its hidden meaning. But about nazism and its political programme, the swastika said nothing. But the hammer and sickle said, unambiguously, that workers and peasants should rule.

It was also perhaps the first truly international political symbol since the tricolour and its permutations, or maybe more pertinently, since the Christian cross. Communist parties from Maerdy to Moldova to Kerala all use the hammer and sickle, as if to declare their adherence to a creed that aimed to abolish nations altogether. Some measure of its success can be garnered by the way that organisations to the right of it used similar symbols � until the 1980s, Labour used an oddly familiar symbol that featured a crossed quill and spade, with "LIBERTY" behind it to quash any doubts. So why would anyone want to abandon such a powerful and self-explanatory symbol?

Why indeed. For many, and entirely unsurprisingly, the hammer and sickle represents one thing � the one-party states that ruled several countries from 1917 to 1991, and that still rule a few � including, of course, the second-largest economy in the world. So, the PCF's reformers might well think, why should communists in the 21st century want to march under the banner used by the regime that starved and shot millions in the 1930s USSR, who declared Year Zero in Phnom Penh, or who declare that "to get rich is glorious" in contemporary Beijing? That's if communists today are even allowed to use the symbol � it is sometimes banned outright. This applies even in countries where communism still has an electoral appeal � the Czech Communist party, which came second in last year's regional elections, is forced to use a bunch of red cherries, as limp an image as Labour's red rose.

The defenders of the hammer and sickle, however, have a case. The POUM, the unorthodox communists who were ruthlessly crushed by the NKVD in the Spanish civil war, fought Stalinism under the hammer and sickle. The youth who spray the symbol today in Italy or Greece are not doing so to evoke the show trials, but to evoke class conflict and egalitarianism, and to do so as simply and quickly as possible.
