Whoa no way, you say Diddy is rich?

I dunno, seems kinda significant that the Vote or Die guy is publicly making these statements. Sorry he isn't quoting from the Red Book, but just questioning the narrative that the Democrats are the party that helps minorities puts him ahead of the vast majority of their base.

It's not real opposition to anything, it's an attempt to position himself as the guy who can herd Black voters into the direction that Democrats want them to go so he can suitably rewarded for it. No different than when he did the Vote or Die stuff.

I promise you, Diddy is not ahead of anything as far as political though in Black communities.

We're already terminally hosed, tone policing isn't helping.

The war for socialism has been raging for over a hundred years. Why do you think it's only now that we're terminally hosed? I get that a lot of people put their faith in electoralism to save the world in this one battle but the fight is far from over.

I get that it's an easy "win" to cherry pick my posts for the sake of sophistry but, ironically enough, also isn't helping. Feel free to take exception to the content but drop it with the "tone policing" nonsense.

do you know what is going to happen? Its going to be the same reason we have trump now. The people are going to vote for him with the hope that things are going to get better. The problem is its biden. we can look forward to bare half measures, austerity, and lip service in the service of helping the rich further put their boots on our necks. What do you think happens after that?

At least if it was a different scumbag neoliberal I wouldn't have my son asking my i voted for a rapist in a few years.

And the real problem is when a Democratic politician does all of those terrible half measures, most of the liberals will not notice or care enough to fight it, they'll excuse it or even praise it because it's their team.

When a Republican does bad things, at least it gets them mad. This is why Biden losing is the preferable outcome for the left, in my opinion. Maybe it's a pipe dream to think that anger can be channeled in the right direction, but I'm an optimist at heart.

When people had a chance to express that preference in primaries, they went for Biden by a large number. He even had higher favorability numbers than Bernie.

At some point people have to accept the numbers we have. And it’s not all sneaky DNC manipulation. Bernie lost every single county in Michigan after beating Hillary there in 2016. There is clearly something some people like about Biden and don’t like about Bernie.

You have to admit that the way the media gets these boomers to vote against their best interests is pretty astounding.

It’s not the media. Revolutions are for the young. Boomers don’t care how much damage they do when they won’t be around to deal with it. Progressives are going to have to figure out how you work around that when they are the biggest voting bloc in the country, and you can’t wait 20-30 years for them to die.

Yep. I watched poo poo like this happen at the grocery store I used to work at. The union kept approving contracts that took benefits away from everyone except the old timers who were the ones with enough free time to actually vote on contracts.

Right, so what do you think are the next steps for the Left to take in response to the primary because, to my mind, turning its anger inwards in despair and then fragmenting is not the answer to the liberal establishment proving, once and for all, that the ballot has always been rigged.

Given how Reade's been treated so far, despite trying to tell her story for years, I can't imagine any other victims are too eager to throw themselves in the firing range. (Kinda like how things were before #MeToo, funny that.)

Biden obviously meant to say that that 14 year old girl was "well endowed... with certain inalienable rights" but his stutter got in the way.

Nah he'll just immediately cave to GOP demands and then turn around and sell it as "bi-partisan compromise" like he did during the Obama years, to the point where even Reid had enough and told Obama to stop letting Biden in on policy negotiations.

If you want to lash out at people who are on your side, then go ahead but if that's what the left devolves into then we're honestly screwed. Shouting down a female comrade when she is giving her perception of sexual assault on a patriarchy is not ok. The USpol thread has been busily pushing out minorities who dare to question that Biden is better for minorities and that's also not ok; I expect better of comrades. The left wins by solidarity, we don't have trillions of stolen dollars, we just have a shared experience of oppression. Solidarity requires listening to the nuances of others' particular oppression so that we can fight for each other, rather than fracturing into a hundred different identity tribes.

Idpol is how liberals fracture the left. This message cannot be repeated often enough. Don't fall into their trap.

who cares? like seriously who cares?

i'm not interested in quantifying in real numbers the various degrees of psychic trauma on the y-axis with various types of sexual assault on the x-axis. congrats! you now have a crosstab on how bad rape is and you can filter by age, gender, how many hours they spend online, zip code, and average gpa for high school and undergraduate (if applicable).

like i said earlier, i don't particularly care for a nuanced take about how we live in a society. it's trite and it's akin to just asking questions; it's a facile discussion point that's being brought up. if you do a find+replace on the argument, it looks extremely similar to the vast majority of all of those thinkpieces about "trump's america" that were done by the third way that came to the conclusion that the north american chud is an interesting specimen that must be approached in a non-threatening manner. coming out guns drawn with

quote:

The "Biden voters love rape" line of discussion here feels really... dude-ish.

it's straight up a "heads i win, tails you lose" rhetorical trick that goes further into how everyone being rude needs to be nicer to the sore winners. it's not a compelling argument and there's nothing to be gained by engaging with it.
