  • and they wonder how China keeps coming out on top

  • They obviously don't, which is why they didn't run a primary.

    But let's pretend that it was sexism that kade Harris lose. Isn't failing to anticipate that a huge error by Democratic leadership, who anointed Harris?

  • Giving this much money to low-income workers has a disproportionate impact on inflation

    That's not what the data seemed to say - every actual study showed that inflation came from supply shocks, and then companies using that excuse to raise prices.

    What DID pose a problem was you saw people not scared to starve if they lost a job. And that was causing big worries for employers, and that's what couldn't continue.

  • You can also say

    The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guildmaster and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, that each time ended, either in the revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.

  • If you honestly thought that was true, aren't you saying it was irresponsible of the Dems to run a woman when the election was supposed to be an existential matter?

  • No? Two were Ukraine guys, pretty much centrist liberals. One was all over the place

  • More stimulus went out under Trump than Biden.

  • Now is the time to seize leverage. If other voters back a centrist, they will lose votes in the general.

  • The Senator from Tel Aviv

  • Yup. Primary them all - and if they win, don't vote for them in the general, and make it plain you won't so others know not to vote for them.

  • Leadership should have been purged after the 2016 debacle.

    But it's not too late to do that now.

  • Americans should be storming the capital though

  • That is very much an oversimplification . . . while Long did stretch if not break the law often, his main power base was because he delivered economic benefits for most of the people.

    His opponents were the same elites that had run the government for generations for their own benefit. And weren't playing any nicer - as an example, while Long did call out the national guard, it was because Standard Oil had indeed organized militias that were actively attempting the overthrow of the government.

  • " my t-shirt

  • Sure, it's a phishing attack

  • Good recommendation for light bulbs?

  • The Democrats have no credible path to stopping the GOP, demonstrated more than once.

    Credible is just nonsense to justify refusing politics by the lazy.
