its true to some extent, depending on how virulently racist they are. low to light levels of racism, which is most people, don't preclude them from supporting social programs, in my experience. their other concerns are things like "who will get it?" to which our response should be "everyone" and "who's gonna pay" to which we say "the rich"

Means testing is an amazing way to make sure a program doesn't ever have broad support.

I've posted it before, but Trump is the Id of the ruling class. They don't hate him for what he does. They hate him for how open and unashamed he is about it. He exposes them as much as he exposes himself.

It's got a low number of regulars because so many got chased out by a bunch of arbitrary sixers from people trying to curate it rather than just let it be so a lot of people just stop posting and move back to other subforum. And low effort trolls being encouraged instead of being the ones being probed.

I give a poo poo if Russia changed any votes. But despite some hysterical headlines it appears that did not happen. I don't give a poo poo where he got his oppo research from. His cabinet and advisors being a bunch of people compromised by Russia is what matters in regards to the Russia stuff.

i dunno, i think trump literally being impeached or resigning or soemthing will just cause chaos until 2018 and nothing will get done

The republicans have absolutely no shame and would not hesitate at all to continue to push through their agenda if Trump got impeached (he isn't going to get impeached). A powerless Trump with no support is the least bad possible option.

No More War -- USA is the best one

The fact that some of the others say "join them" makes it better because it means that when they sat down and considered how to respond to "no more war" they had the option of telling people to join in. But instead they concluded it was better to drown it out with jingoism.

the explanation that "join them" was not a literal chant but instructions to join in the existing chant made much more sense than actually saying "get the gently caress out" to "love is love"

even if responding to "ban fracking now" with "hillary" makes no sense either

Its because they don't want that message to be heard but they don't have a good counter-message. So they just want to drown it out.

The damage Trump is doing with the powers of the executive are going to take a long time to unravel, if we can at all. It's also a reminder why the "the republicans won't work with a democratic socialist" stuff was bullshit because it didn't matter, a candidate who actually wanted to push for progressive policies would have been able to make huge strides towards that without the need for congress.

I think she could have won and still stayed "clean" if she'd gone in hard on explaining how Trump is just the latest manifestation of the rich (both because he himself is rich and because the GOP is the party for the rich) promising the world to the people without following through on literally anything.

That would have been an insanely easy message for Trump to turn back on Hillary.

The idea that elites in 2017 USA have any fear of revolution whatsoever is absurd.

Homestead and Blair Mountain are long forgotten and there are, practically speaking, zero working class institutions capable of fielding any kind of combat group.

I'll preface this by saying that I in no way advocate violence. But I'd think the concern isn't some armed insurrection, but pissing off enough people that guys like the congressional softball game shooter start to become something they have to worry about.
