Leftism isn't ascendant because Bernie run, it's ascendant because an entire generation has been completely hosed over by rampant inequality and the institutional collapse of capitalism, and because the Boomers who represent the last passionate adherence to the cult of American exceptionalism are dying off. Bernie was a catalyst that accelerated what was happening, but the material conditions of America are what are driving leftism. It will outlive him and surpass him, regardless of what happens in 2020.

if he's a catalyst then it wouldnt've happened without him, because that's what catalysts do, they start poo poo
the material conditions were right in 2008 as well, you had the economic meltdown, you had OWS, you had obama talking about marching with strikers, about the public option etc etc and then the people elected him and he took a dump on them

This is some Sonderweg mixed in with good old Orientalism. Russians/Chinese/Cubans/Vietnamese are incapable of non-authoritarian political systems because... culture... genes... innate inability to become civilized?

are you wholly incapable of reading with comprehension or what
he very obviously said it has to do with history and context so not "genes", not "innate" and definitely not "incapable"
"culture" maybe, tentatively, but far from the feeling of set-in-stone that you're aiming for when using these words

So just a bit more than a third of jobs actually require a degree, and there are still way more non-degree jobs than jobs that are only for degree holders. Well more than a third of jobs are open to those who are only high school graduates.


So it’s obviously a ridiculous exaggeration to say that one must have a bachelor’s degree to get a job. There are vast numbers of jobs that do not require one, including a huge quantity of jobs that can be obtained with only a high school diploma.

the post he's quoting literally says the opposite, that a bit more than a third of the jobs requires a HS degree, while something like 65% requires either bachelor's or college
this is the "intellectual" in him, I guess, just plain lying his rear end off whenever he can

LinYutang comes to the thread posting negative Bernie articles regularly because they're pro Bernie and is bringing attention to criticisms of Bernie. At least that's the pattern I noticed over the past few months.

You gotta respect Biden's absolute refusal to pander, or bend to the whims of the populace. Any other candidate would've taken the note "don't open mouth kiss any women other than your wife on stage" by now, but Biden will not be moved.
