Populist Prole

Excellent skewering by Jacobin. Thumbs up, and thanks for the thread.

“Idpol is by design a way to avoid class issues. Idpol assumes that the goal is only how to speak to different identity groups and what lies they want to hear. They won’t ask data modelers how to speak about class because they have no intention of mentioning it. Their obsession with white suburban moms was dubbed “the Panera Bread strategy”, aka t…[Read more]

Good piece, though it it wasn’t exactly “news” in that it confirmed my previous suspicions: All this hoo-ha is thinly veiled class disdain.

Truth serum administered to these elitist a-holes would elicit a result like this:

“We need these people, but there’s no way in the world we should pay 150K a year to a #$%^&$@….truck driver!“. Bet on it.

I know a few who admire him, and when I push them they do admit he’s an asshole but let him off the hook because he’s autistic…or claims he is.

A “Like” for the post replies and commentaries, but not for the day-late-and-a-dollar-short Robert Reich epiphany.

Political parties purporting to be liaisons to the public, make sure that the chatter to the masses involves nothing more than guns/religion/race/bathrooms……anything, but anything other than the conditions exemplified in the above infinite flow chart.

But you nailed iit.This yet another tedious screed that says "vote blue no matter who", though I suspected as much when I saw the author.

I’ve been doing the same thing, though my landline “base” will still ring even if my handset ringer is selected off. I’m a lat riser and will be awakened if it rings. Anymore just unplug the phone cord to the base unit and leave it unplugged unless I want to make a call, or am expecting a call. Spammers generally stop calling after 8 or 9 PM…[Read more]

It should be a soothsayer’s call to predict their next move. Out of the Sea-Tac area to Chicago via corporate poaching, HQ-wise. Shifting of production from Sea-Tac to Nikki Haley country, via corporate poaching.

Next stop, who knows?

Sending good vibes and hoping you’ll feel them.

Oh FFS

“Biden won the Democratic nomination last year by offering more centrist alternatives to much of Sanders’ agenda“.

Bullshit

“…moderate Democrats worried that the party’s leftward shift could cost them control of Congress during next year’s midterm elections.”

Major bullshit, and a self-serving canard from the corporatists.

The “bullying-their-way-in” manner of driving, spurred by their sheer sense of self-righteous indignation. You’ll also see this as they exit their subdivisions to enter a thoroughfare. Even though they have a stop sign, they’ll dart right up to the intersection to the degree you know they have no intention of even yielding, let alone make a full…[Read more]

The hair length and coloring, the “mean girl” sunglasses;

My exact reaction as well.

These drooling imbeciles would think Dwight Eisenhower is/was a socialist. Nimrod.

Something doesn’t sound right, because it isn’t right. It’s clear they’re not applying the clinical metrics of economics as such, but using economic theory as a cover for imparting conservative dogma to suit their aims as it applies to wages. We all know well their views and desires: cheap labor and shitting on the poor.

They’re pulling the same…[Read more]

Interesting that we never hear conservatives panic about inflation even as the rich continue to fatten their wallets and solidify their gains. I’ve heard point raised and the corporate media toady’s response was that they don’t spend their growing wealth but save ( read: hoard ) it. Well if that is so, then that pretty much disembowels the…[Read more]

Tilting at windmills. V2.0.

I never feel at ease around one of those things.

“maybe he sucks to provide his party with an excuse for doing nothing”

It worked fabulously well for Barack Obama:

• Early in when the dems had majorities, he torpedoed the agenda he ran on by catering to the republicans with “reaching across the aisle” bi-partisan bullshit.
• After the 2010 GOP blow-out in the senate and house he could claim he…

This:

“but their lemming followers who refuse to admit that they were/are wrong about these grifters, and what they really are or became, no matter how much evidence is presented. And then they spend all their energy fighting those who tell the truth instead of those who hide it.”

That would apply to not only to BO, but to both Clinton terms and…[Read more]
