Some wealthy corporations and their CEOs complained that their bottom line is hurting. He doesn't like upsetting rich people.

You all complained that there isn't outrage, but there clearly is. Jfc.
Because I'm assuming you didn't read up on it, what action do you want them to take that they're not already? I'd personally like to see some action from you and other regular citizens.

This is pretty dead on... we're in the Miller era until the rich guys who rely on immigrant labor get PO enough, which looks like it's coming...

**I know Walmart is still a bad company that relies on govt assistance for it's employees so it doesn't have to pay them a living wage.

Things are so bad that this is almost the least of it. Everyone at the NEH, our only federal humanities funding body, ended work this week, involuntarily. The people who took over advertised a grant scheme for confederate statues though.

People with almost college age kids need to be ready for the possibility that higher education in the US will no longer be an option. The education system could collapse. I'm not being hyperbolic. Universities employ A LOT of people too. Communities will go bankrupt.

I'd say they're probably super fun at parties, but no one is inviting that person to parties.

The funny thing is, they flew in to defend Bernie Sanders and didn't recognize how funny it is to accuse me of hero worship by saying...that... at a criticism of Bernie. He'll be ok, I promise. People will keep buying his repetitive books.

Honestly, they're a lost cause. They have no concept of a world in which they might be wrong and they just say the most shocking thing to "win". They need to log off and get their dopamine in a healthier way.

Especially now. He pissed off a lot of party people by the PAC thing, inserting himself in primaries in opposition to long standing DNC policy, and then making it seem like the Vice Chair do over had anything to do with him personally.

I mean, I wasn't there, so I don't know the whole story about why she didn't do it during. She did it right after, so it's not like she waited until recently. I'm not surprised he resigned. Kenyatta apparently received more votes than Hogg so if they had to face off, Hogg would probably lose.

That's a weird fucking reaction to criticism of Bernie Sanders. Are you okay?

Did Nancy Pelosi position herself as an outsider fighting the billionuhs by flying around the country in a private jet, missing votes and not effectively pass any meaningful legislation over her entire career? I have issues with her, but she got the ACA passed and healthcare for millions.

I'm not saying we do exactly that, but the logistics are far more important than the catchiest slogan.

In France the engineers would shut down certain train lines certain days of the week planned with other strikes too so that the local public could plan, but it would still shut down a lot of economic activity. That's the nitty gritty people have to think of, the logistics and PR.

Ranking German people as a race is literally a section of the Hitler Youth handbook. Which is based in the idea of human races described in the works of authors who directly informed Nazi ideology.

"They weren't racist fascists! They were capitalist fascists!" I'm going to hold your hand while I say this, I don't think you're aware that fascism is an entire ideological system and doesn't just mean "authoritarian".

As a person who studied Facism and researched the Hitler Youth indoctrination, which included reading their actual training handbook, my eye is twitching reading those posts by people who's entire knowledge was obviously learned on sm. Racism was the core fucking belief of Nazis.

So true, they don't really know their family's history... or anyone's. Right, we should be welcoming and helping people.

If anything, Mexican and Central American immigrants have MORE of a right to be here than Europeans. Besides being descended from indigenous Americans, huge swaths of the US were Mexico at one time.

Immigration law was super different 100 years ago and nationalists hated them then too. Did I hit my head or was Gangs of New York not a popular movie? It was MUCH easier to immigrate 100 years ago for (certain) immigrants. Rich ones didn't even go through processing!

Wow, Cowboys hate is generational in Philly. That lady isn't kidding around.

It also shows a fundamental misunderstanding by white Americans of the important role that religion and the Black church plays in the long history of the civil rights movement and the Black community. It shows a serious lack of interest in Black history. It's very different from white evangelicism.

I oppose lazy "anti-PMC" garbage, but there is a big problem that Left-liberal circles are dominated by "ideological workers" who believe that narratives and messages shape reality and the only reason we're in the shit is that *I'm* not in control of the narrative/messaging machine
comment in response to
post
So to go back to David Roberts, the thing is that the sneering about how "the Dems" are not "shaping the narrative right" is bullshit because it can never be right. There is no way that "the Dems" could message in a way that would make the existing mass media reprogram racists into anti-racists.
