this might actually be the concession neolibs are making: pharma gets weed, but people get health insurance and we get to sell this as legal weed.

Quick lesson on politics/messaging from a phlegmy geriatric:

https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/907949996066136064
1. Millions of Americans are in deep trouble.
2. The GOP wants to kill you.
3. Every major country* is already doing this.
4. The people and grassroots orgs. are with us.
5. Big business is against us.
6. We only do this by fighting for it.

Also the buttman was at the same corn event as neera a few days ago and apparently stole the show. http://www.bleedingheartland.com/2017/09/12/pete-buttigieg-on-how-democrats-can-flip-the-script/

Excerpt:

"I believe our party is never going to recapture the faith and imagination of the American people if all we have to offer is a litany of this president’s many, many sins.

And I also believe it’s not just about the White House. It is time for Democrats to stop treating the presidency like it’s the only office that matters. […]

We’ve got to have a message that will hold true at every level, every year, everywhere, no matter who’s in the White House. And I believe our message does. I want to make the case to you that there’s no need for this hand-wringing that progressives and Democrats don’t have a message. Of course we do. Here’s our message: We support and protect people going about their everyday lives. That’s it. That’s what we’re here for. [applause]

And by the way, the way we do it mostly has to do with defending people’s freedom. Somewhere along the line, we let the other side corner the market on talking about freedom, and we’ve got to turn that around. Because this is Democratic bedrock from the days when FDR saved the free world. Freedom from want, freedom from fear.

And that’s very different from how Republicans think about freedom. For them, freedom from government is the only freedom they can imagine. And they’re missing so much about what freedom really is.

I say you are not free if you can’t change jobs or start a new business because you’re afraid of losing health care coverage.

You’re not free if a credit card company can stick you with an arbitration clause that means you can’t sue them, even if they get caught ripping you off."

Glad to see endless death and destruction is still bipartisan, even with some "progressives" joining in to slaughter more civilians in the mideast. At least the entire 2020 crew voted the right way though.

I MEPHISTO MY OWN ASSHOLE
-Joins the Party for the sole purpose of running for POTUS
-Shits all over Obama's legacy
-Loses Primary and bitterly drags it out
-Gives a half-hearted convention speech despite the party apparatus bending over backwards to make him feel important (letting his delegates write the platform, giving him a big speech, etc)
-After Dems lose the Presidency in 2016, leaves the party
-Fuels Keith Ellison's run for DNC chair against Obama's Labor Secretary and when Ellison doesn't win, again gives a sort of weak endorsement of Perez


If you ignore that this is about politics and instead it's about a workplace or one of your friends would you think this was a person who's core goal actually trying to help?

Perez wasn't even in the running until centrists were like "nah we gotta kneecap Bernie for ~reasons~" and found a sweaty suit
