DynamicSloth posted:The question of ending the filibuster doesn't really seem like a matter of principle but a matter of tactics, and the correct tactical answer really depends on the seat count. Agreed. Especially considering we won’t have the votes to enact progressive legislation even if we took the senate and abolished the filibuster.

If you work for a dirt bag lobbying firm then it’s open season on flaming you. Nobody has to work for these people and it is ethically unjustifiable. So their social media gets blown up for a day or two, who cares? They can just briefly lock their accounts and then get back to normal in no time. It’s essentially a probation for being a terrible person.

InnercityGriot posted:Clinton called black people superpredators and had slaves and still won the primary, the effect of old rhetoric clearly doesn't matter to the average Democratic voter. (Because many of them are also racist.) I think the left drastically undersells his ability to be absolute poo poo and still have Democratic voters support him anyway. Clinton caught a ton of poo poo for her superpredators comment and the slave thing didn’t come out until after the primary. Biden’s racist comments run far deeper, he has far less of a head start, and has several times the number of primary challengers gunning for him.

Kobayashi posted:Yeah Biden is a monster and I hope it goes down like Harris in that every lovely position he's ever held is exposed to the cleansing power of 2019. But unlike Harris, Biden doesn't even pretend to be woke or progressive or otherwise give any indication that he has any idea what year it is. It's going to be immensely satisfying to watch him implode, and anyone worrying about his chances in the primary needs to log off and chill out. He's Brexit. He's the Titanic. He's the Hindenburg.

The American system makes a bit more sense when you understand that the founders never even considered that political parties would rise to prominence. They basically assumed that each state would vote for a candidate from that state, so the EC would decide who gets to be president most of the time.

Doom Rooster posted:I think Harris is terrible and needs to go away, and that meeting with AIPAC is dumb, especially now but... There's a huge difference between Having a meeting in your office with AIPAC during business hours and attending a multiday circle jerk conference espousing the imperative of AIPAC's goals. Uh no. It would have been better for her to attend AIPAC and remain ostensibly neutral than for her to just openly state: “Israel has the right to defend itself”—the 7 Words of Israeli fascism.
