 We're gonna start punishments at 3 days in this thread because loving hell this topic brings out the worst in this forum. As of January 1/16/2019, we are almost two years away from the 2020 elections. Naturally, that means several major candidates have already declared that they're running. Please contextualize your tweet/article content when you post it, thanks. From the original 2020 primary thread, too pure for this sinful Earth: quote:A few quick requests for this thread: This thread is a huge pain in the rear end to moderate and nobody seems to like to argue in good faith so, for this rising phoenix of primary slapfighting we're going to be changing it up a bit. Instead of having aimless 12 page digressions about whether or not we have sufficiently condemned Tulsi Gabbard for being poo poo or whatever bullshit, this thread is going to follow News thread-style rules. Post articles, relevant tweets, or other content, and discuss that content. If you don't like the current discussion, post different content. If you're mad that someone thinks you're preferred candidate is irredeemable garbage, then accept that you won't convince each other and move on with your lives. As per PPJ: quote:Ascribe reality as it actually is to the politicans you're discussing, not as you hope or fear it will be. Base it on previous statements they have made, current initiatives they are pursuing, or future plans they have laid out in their presidential campaign. We're probably going to start punishing people for sweeping statements or hard declarations of fact without some kind of meaningful citation. Horny posting itt will probably result in a month probe.

It's Bernie or nothing as far as I'm concerned. He's the only candidate who might move American society in the direction I want it to go. Everyone else, even the progressives like Warren are only concerned about "fixing" capitalism. Bernie is the only one willing to even talk about an alternative.

mcmagic posted:People like Cory Booker? I wouldn't necessarily call them "people." Homonculi, perhaps? e: For content, to help get this thread going on the right foot, Amber A'lee Frost of Chapo Trap House wrote a good piece in The Baffler on why Bernie is the only real choice at this point. A couple quotes: quote:The coming election cycle will be an extremely difficult and fraught one. The Democrats might not be able win with any candidate; even the worst presidents seem to serve for two terms now, and frankly, a lot of people have very little faith in electoral change. Despite all the #Resistance hysteria, for the time being, the majority of the electorate hasn’t seen the sort of plummet in quality of life that inspires droves of voters to cast a ballot for Anyone But Trump. The Donald hasn’t actually deviated that much from the neoliberal trajectory of his predecessors (remember, Obama shot tear gas at the border too), and you can’t expect people who don’t spend all day on Twitter to feel that motivated to combat what is essentially the gradual continuation of previous administrations’ policies. (Hell, he’s already more anti-war than Obama was.) And here's a good one that could serve as a pointer for myself and my fellow Berners on how we conduct ourselves in this thread going forward: quote:And for the love of God, learn to exercise your scoffing muscles. Don’t get drawn into show-trial debates when someone is obviously attempting to defame, discredit, or otherwise malign the Sanders campaign. Yes, there are guileless and gentle souls who voice concern about Sanders’s prospects, policies, or appeal to women and minority voters, and with those people we have conversations. Kindly, confidently, and thoroughly we explain that Bernie Sanders is the best candidate for the working class—and we then spell out, with the same saintly patience, that this means all of the working class. But as for the liberal media, and for those who would disingenuously invoke identity politics to attack the socialist, just remember the magic words: “I know what you’re doing right now, and it doesn’t work on me.” Remember, they’re trying to trip you up, wear you down, and waste your precious time. (Luckily, they’re utter clowns; elite whiners who pout that everyone is being too mean to them and to their favored milquetoast candidate.) The hit pieces against Bernie have already started to pour in, and we cannot concede a single inch to bad-faith liberals. Steel yourselves against the pseudo-progressive manipulation tactics and moral blackmail that put you on the back foot. Majorian fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Jan 17, 2019 |

Bernie is the last gasp for electoralism being a meaningful strategy for positive change and if he gets ratfucked the Democratic Party deserves to be burned to the ground.
