People's inability to understand that caring about esoteric politics stuff like this is a luxury, even if what's happening is actually loving crazy and has big ramifications, will always baffle me. I guess it's because they still are convinced of the meritocracy and the fairness of the market, and that people being so poor and with such real pressing problems that they don't have time to think about these kinds of politics can't enter into the picture. But it's staring them right in the face; people don't give a poo poo about these frankly fuckin' crazy revelations because they have no shits to give.

I know it's common in the succ zone to downplay this russia stuff cause it's a good excuse for the dems to do ffffffffuckin' nothing, but there was a russian spy doing poo poo with the NRA and 12 russian agents were indited for election bullshit and Trump straight up said it was a good idea for russia to help with the investigation by having their agents come look at our election infrastructure; this is... kinda a bit of a holy poo poo they're jsut saying it out loud moment? I think the best thing to do is kinda what Bernie said; tie it into international oligarchs running everything. Cause that's what russia is, it's the end result of rich assholes stealing all the state's resources and becoming SUPER rich assholes who run their country and want more money. I think it's a mistake to wave this away, one because it's kinda bonkers and no one should be meddling in elections, including us and we do it all the time; and two because it makes every republican look really bad and their whole party needs to be destroyed for us to make progress.

The Nastier Nate posted:If dems are gonna talk about the Russia investigation, it should be pointed out that the pot of gold at the end of the Mueller rainbow isn't going to be some nebulous "collusion" charge (which is true, but who cares? and as said, we've meddled in more countries internal politics then anyone) but the decades of financial crimes that Trump and the GOP have committed, defrauding anyone and everyone they could. I agree, this is an example of how the ultra rich just skate above the law and can influence anything because of this.

Modus Pwnens posted:Weren't charter schools originally a progressive/union-backed idea in MA before it got coopted by union/government-busters? Oh, that might be exculpatory Cause yeah, Charters were originally a "hey, what if the teachers owned the schools and could set the lesson plans and all that" sort of idea if I remember correctly, and then got IMMEDIATELY co-opted because that wasn't explicitly what they were.

This might be the most Obama Sounds witty, kinda SOUNDS smart, but then you realize it's both empty advice and also can lead you to actually implementing horrifying things in a way that makes them both effective and intractable. No, it's the other way around: always be sure you're doing the right thing.

etalian posted:It's sort of a bad dem give away to believe in things like "re-skilling" I didn't even think about it until I heard Richard Wolff say it but why the gently caress do we care what skills "the economy" wants? Why aren't we building an economic system that uses what people want to do and know how to do, instead of trying to cram ourselves into the positions that a few rich people can profit from? I mean we all know why but I had never thought of the economy as a thing that people make, instead thinking about it as some sort of external force that needed to be appeased. We don't need to re-train people, we need to make jobs that they can do.

MaxxBot posted:The problem is the lanyard idea of centrists is "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" which very few people actually believe. The view is just pushed so much because it is disproportionally held by the rich and powerful. A real attempt at a "centrist" candidacy would be the opposite which is basically what campaign Trump pretended to be. What constitutes social conservatism, though? Like, obvious racism?

What's great about this is people DO want leaders, but those things they said have nothing to do with leadership in the slightest. They really think people are inspired by filed-down technocrats who care so much about padding their resumes with "political accomplishments" that they'll compromise away everything they ever said they wanted to do just so they can say they did something. These people are so sure people look at middle-managers with awe and aspiration instead of contempt or pity.

I can't even understand this. Someone's doing a job, how is this some sort of punishment for them? Do they not get paid or something? Hell, wouldn't it be economically stimulating to smash that star every day?

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:frank never says “white working class” anywhere in the article Frank WROTE about how the democrats getting tough on immigration and "crime" was a betrayal of the movements that put democrats in office. 3 strikes and mandatory minimums and illegal entry being a deportable offense were all Clinton policies. But no, dude's projected so hard he's writing about himself in his very tweet Also New York City is the home of international finance. The reason NY succdems are both so powerful and so lovely is because they are hooked into the very heart of capitalism Grondoth fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Jul 30, 2018 |

Agean90 posted:Schumer is a massive joke who's unwillingness to even do the bare minimum his position demands has completly destroyed any authority he has. Any attempt to threaten anyone would be met with riotous and well deserved laughter and if he had any self awareness he would step down as leader after the midterms. It's really amazing, the guy is just entrenched in the entire political system in New York as well as being one of the most powerful people in the Senate and he's got the worst instincts of any politician I've ever seen. He's not even able to trick people into thinking he's good, he's just somehow made it to a position where it's impossible to dislodge him because of all the power he has but it's obvious he's a lovely politician who can't make anyone do anything.

Agean90 posted:wonder what succ dem this opened a race up to The dem canidate supports medicare for all, 15 dollar minimum wage, marijuana legalization and punishing opioid companies He, however, doesn't seem to be an inspiring campaigner(although he DID enter a destruction derby) and this district is full of the archetypal Chuds. I really hope this arrest effects the race, cause Collins is a cowardly shitbag. Like, when that one gut got his balls shot off he made a statement about how the LEFT is getting DANGEROUS because we put post-its on his HQ cause he never does any town halls.

He supports Hochul, he gets a lot of personal money from ICE space rental. But on the issues, he says he's for good things; although he owes his support to the NY democratic party so I'm unsure how well he'd hold up. Better than fuckin' Collins at least. I wasn't gonna like... go to bat for him, because he's a long shot and he's hooked in to a lot of succdem networks. But if Collins is really hobbled by these charges, then there might be an opening to get him in and actually try and hold him to what he says he wants to do.

Shapiro's popularity is... perplexing. He's always been the very picture of the kid who thinks he's better than everyone else because he finished his homework early, and nothing he's ever said has been anything other than the same kind of open advocacy of extermination of Muslims and tax cuts for billionaire economics that everyone on the right does. there's nothing interesting or new about him, other than the fact that he looks like the smug dickhole he is.
