Koalas March posted:Solvent, I don't expect white people to give up anything. That's why I'm occasionally pleasantly surprised, but never disappointed. White people want to hold on to their privilege with an iron fist. Which is exactly the problem??? The worst part of the discourse elevating racial privilege but suppressing class is that it just made white people more desperate to cling their their perceived privilege even if the value has dropped from 'guaranteed entry in the middle class as long as you go through the proper motions' to 'maybe won't be shot by the cops as much'. It's been entirely in cooperation with the fascist narrative that as long as you conform you will be rewarded even when it stopped being true when the Cold War ended and capitalism didn't need to try anymore.

I think the thing is that the other candidates are wrong and bad in ways that liberals still have to be trained out of accepting as a given while there is a pre-existing and extremely justified and good backlash to the slightest whiff of anti-vax because it's something you immediately have to put your foot down on as firmly as possible.

Hasn't Bernie been polling best in New Hampshire for a while? And his ground game is focused there. If he wins the first primary then the 'electability' voters are gonna switch fast, Biden will in all likelihood crash hard. After that the question is how the establishment responds.

Skippy McPants posted:What's really gonna suck is when he comes back 4-12 years down the line and runs as a serious contender. By then America will be either socialist or fascist and either way he will not be viable. VH4Ever posted:Biden down to a 6 point lead from what, like over 15 or whatever before? After one debate. Yeah, thing is about Biden's popularity is that once it goes down it's almost certainly going to stay down, because it's a mix of name recognition and 'electability', both of which are extremely flaky and will flee the moment someone else appears remotely viable or says something that actually gets their attention. And Biden has failed miserably in every single competitive election he's run in even when he wasn't obviously senile.

Kind of the point is that 2016 made it very clear that the neoliberal political order was always unsustainable and is now a rotting, tilting mess waiting to keel over at the slightest pressure, and everything since then has gone on to prove it.

Wealthy women are getting really pissed at how they spent years ingratiating themselves with the imperial machine only to now be told that it's 'evil' and 'unsustainable' and 'fundamentally built around inequality and white supremacy' when it was just about to be their turn to be on top and enjoy exploiting and oppressing everyone else.

It just means they change the standards to totally incidentally require more 'well off white people' flags, like suddenly the focus on extracurriculars when Asians were topping the exam scores.

Really does seem to be getting to the point where even a lot of committed liberals are starting to realise how terrible so much of the party actually is and how disingenuous and cowardly the people they're told are so brave and principled actually are, especially when compared to actual leftists. And that the Republicans consider them all equally commie scum and have no plans to spare any of them.

Yet Harris is saying that that's what happens, since, according to her, it's cheaper. It's not supposed to make sense, it's supposed to mocking the idea of mercy.

KingNastidon posted:No, I'm attempting to discourage you dying in armed conflict if Bernie Sanders loses the democratic primary. I think the pairing of such rhetoric alongside a 80+ page mental health and depression thread is worrisome, but irony I suppose. Well you're not doing a very good job, maybe you should look into actions you can take to decrease the likelihood of desperate violence! BTW, there are already going to be billions of climate refugees and mass destabilisation of entire countries. What's your plan?
