Sanders says the same kind of poo poo about how if they’re (Sanders or Biden) president, GOP will suddenly teamwork it up with Democrats, and they’re both wrong as hell about it.

I believe his usual theory of power is more along the lines of "we'll win more seats than the Republicans, and then we'll have supporters go confront dipshits who aren't getting with the program wherever they go, and I'll tell my VP to ignore the senate parliamentarian and just pass whatever we feel like through reconciliation."

Which is a hilariously bad line and Sanders' weakest argument, IMO. He seems to think that if he's president, it'll just all work out and the GOP voters or senators will just hop on board, and the filibuster can stick around, too. His Green Lantern thinking is possibly why his legislative record is poor. Ideologically pretty good, pragmatically suspect, IMO.

He doesn't though I mean you're really projecting Biden onto him whole cloth and its bizarre.

No, Biden's claim is stupider, but similar in that Bernie seems to think that he'll just win over the people, which will force republicans to either get along with him or else he'll unleash unnecessarily convoluted parliamentarian tactics, but won't blow up the veto, because of Senate :decorum: and maybe also Green Lantern arrogance.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that actual progressives/leftists will have to just pretend to be moderates and then ignore their constituents. It's what the GOP does to great effect with regard to loving over workers in favor of the mega-elite.

And his legislative record is pretty good for a independent socdem who's been in office since HW.

Bernie and Warren are the two candidates who I most ideologically align with. But what is a piece of legislation that he got passed in all his time in the Senate? Like Sanders proposed it and got it passed, not "he voted for this thing everyone else voted for."

Most Republicans actively enjoy wealth inequality because they’re on the positive side of it.

Trump isn’t actually populist. He’s a crass McConnell, domestically.

Imagine someone actually helping Joe/Jane Everyperson with healthcare costs and wages while simultaneously promising to turbofuck the “other.” Such a person could really go places in America.

The Navy has to be the most diverse of the services, right?

The last time I deep dived on the diversity reports the DOD publishes the Navy starts as the most ethnically diverse, then very rapidly gets pretty male and white (not as much as Marines, who are the most male and most white). Lots and lots of diverse sailors who do maybe one tour, then exit the service.

Army was most diverse at the highest ranks, racially. USAF had the most officers who are women.

It's been a couple years, and memory is imperfect, so I could be wrong.

This entire conversation is problematic as gently caress and you should all stop talking about it.

Extremely very lame.

A lot of men dislike women and demand action on it.

Like goddamn, men create a patriarchy, benefit from it massively, and then when some of the richest men among men end up paying a woman or women in their lives an in-comparison modest compensation, it's knives out for... the women? gently caress that, dudes who want to show how fuckin' awful they are should be allowed to instead of protected from revealing their own bigotry.

Opportunity not taken: Hey, let's talk about the wage gender gap and how hosed the patriarchy is when it comes to women's employment.

Opportunity taken: GIPers bitching about how women are stealing men's wages via divorce abloobloo.

This is the part where just about every breathing person has a different opinion.

I'm no family lawyer, but her original awarded child support was $18K/month. It was reuced later, and now she's sueing to get it reinstated at the original level. I get that $18K is a lot of money. But anyone bitching about her $18K month who doesn't demand systemic wealth redistribution, starting with the rich-as-hell dudes who run this joint, is at best getting played by a dumb misogynistic trope for the benefit of the wealthy or at worst just projecting their own relationship problems onto others.

E: How to crack down on very high amount of child support is reducing wealth inequality, income inequality, and improving social services, not to rail against the demographic known as single parents and the children they raise or co-raise.
