Nobody cares either what you think or about JC as president, he has done unqualified good for bazillions of people since his administration

He's been a great ex-president, but his presidency was a) blocking Kennedy's single payer plan because he wanted to preserve private insurance and b) watering down a guaranteed jobs program to worthlessness

i think "pragmatism" is a bad idea since it's lead to nazis gaining power everywhere. the germans just had a major nazi party gain a lot of power out of nowhere in their government cause the big left-wing party has been being pragmatically centrist for too long.

You talking about Die Linke or SPD?

I meant the "big left-wing party that's pragmatically centrist" because SPD hasn't been left for some time, which is why DSA left SI

I think you've nicely demonstrated the problem with Coates' work: the takeaway is you should feel bad and there's nothing you can do to fix the problem. Black people are powerless to do anything, either, and are destined to suffer nobly while you feel really really guilty about it. You even turn against white people who want to end racism by ascribing selfish motivations to them. It's so completely useless and enervating.

The issue, of course, is that capitalism, even with single-payer healthcare and $15 an hour minimum wage, is still bad.



If millennials calling themselves anti-capitalist shows a real willingness to be anti-capitalist, then great. If it just means that they want social democracy, we’ve got a long way to go

Social democracy is also fundamentally incapable of addressing the fundamental problems with our economy. Bernie is, at best, a lesser evil, not somebody to be celebrated

That isn't answering the question.

If it apparently is so easy, then produce an article pre-Manning that proves how much of a shithead Assange is.

Spoiler alert: this may prove more difficult than you think as Manning made him a publicly known figure!

He was behind Climategate in November 2009. She contacted Wikileaks in January 2010, 2 months later, and started passing material in February 2010.

Lesser evil voting is loving bad strategy, if the Dems ever want to be relevant again, you can't keep riding the status quo, the majority of voters in this country stay the gently caress home for a reason. You can't convince them to get off their asses by screaming at them to support the lesser evil, you start running better candidates, it's that loving simple.

Imagine being so upset with an out of touch elite holding all the levers of power such that you’d advocate abandoning its leadership selection process entirely with respect to the Democratic Party, but when the same issue arises with the United States government itself, you have this underpants gnomes theory of “just run leftists”

In all honesty, I don't think there is a path to socialism through the current democratic party, and the purpose of the DNC at this point is to negate change.


replace "current democratic party" with "current constitution" and you've got something approaching my political beliefs
