Kawasaki Nun posted:I dunno what the gently caress you're talking about. Unless I misread what PCM was saying the democrats are the only party that tolerates non-whites, and out of a two party selection I think they should probably remain intact until the republicans rend themselves apart. Saying that their politics aren't sufficiently progressive enough doesn't strike me as a prudent basis for trying to disrupt their present position as the major viable alternative to the republicans. Let the R's fall apart before trying to reform the democrats. Literally the excuse given any time you don’t want conservatives in power. When do you think, wait a while, will ever motivate people. Single Payer healthcare is something every other European or wealthy Asian country has. Incrementalism doesn’t help address the structural issue of profit over wellbeing. Universality means it will be enshrined. Democrats who don’t want it are against what people want and what people deserve. Being a victim of the genetic lottery is an awful way to have a healthcare system, and donut holes are how it gets ruined, like welfare has been. No matter what happens, you will be taken care of must be appealing to a lot of people.

We should just let people declare themselves sovcits and be recognized as such with the condition that they understand they will no longer receive any protection under the law of any sort. So like for instance they can't be pulled over for speeding and don't have to pay taxes but they can also be hunted for sport.

Universality means it will be enshrined. I'm not saying do nothing, I'm saying it might be more worthwhile to organize against the republican party broadly at the moment. Considering they have the legislature, executive, and ostensibly the court on lock it seems to me that calling for the disintegration of their only real opposition is a bit ambitious. If you think that the democratic party are what's standing in the way of more progressive ideas becoming commonplace then I guess we just disagree. Most people still think the term "socialist" is synonymous with abusive last time I checked. Kawasaki Nun fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Nov 11, 2017 |

Ehhhhh, even at the time Johnson wanted a good way to get out but was afraid that it would be used to kill his Great Society work. He would have had to go through with Kennedy's "let them fight their war" plan instead of going along with McNamara and Co wanting their war. Johnson could have, at best, kept it at advisors and just ratchet down the number of them as the Saigon "government" kept up the revolving door of coups until we were out of it; at worst, it would be historical. Johnson hated the idea of looking weak and especially didn't want to lose a war, regardless of whether or not it was for the right reason. It might have helped if he had replaced at least some of the Cabinet, but that's really turning down the hypothetical road. But if, and its a huge if that can be seen clearly from the Moon, Johnson had been able to extricate the US from Vietnam AND been able to keep political capital in Congress he probably could have kept the Great Society advancements going. But its a HUGE if.

Huge if, hypothetical as well. I think the US could have and can have what many see as a right. The forces against it were the same as any western country. The one with monetary power against those without, in an ostensibly democratic country. Too see it as too far or revolutionary is meeting the enemy on their terms. My dad went south to get his knee fixed, I have waited and lost...six months? I can’t imagine living in a world where I might be on the hook for that. I can imagine staying with a company for their extended etc, but I would not, not take time to better my body if I had the choice.

When generic R would beat generic D by a ton, and the Republican pedophile is currently claiming the whole story is a plot by Democrats, the media, and Establishment Republicans, it's probably best to stand back and let the story feed itself. Everyone knows about the story already. People's brains are so broken from partisanship that the moment Jones starts heavily attacking Moore for the story, Republicans snap back to AHA I KNEW IT WAS A DEMOCRAT PLOT. At most, Jones could go more biographical about honor or whatever, but R-versus-D would still likely gently caress him.

Some random talking head on local conservative radio said something pretty great. Something to the tune of. "Yes, I understand voting for a Democrat is bad, but I could not in all good conscience vote for such a man having seen the evidence. I'm not telling you guys what you should do, but if this was a Clinton or some other liberal candidate you would be baying for their blood and telling them to resign from the race. I can't tell you guys what to do, but if it was me voting, I would just stay home and wash my hands of both candidates."

I stopped taking advantage after going to a chili’s one year and a guy seated on the other side the aisle pulled out his dd214, bluntly asked what the free options were when the waitress came up for the first time, and then when asked what he wanted to drink, asked if water was free. I bet there is a lot of justified grumbling every time this rolls around from service employee getting stiffed on pay and tips.

If the DNC doesn't reallocate resources to take advantage of this turn of events then they truly are worthless trash.
