They’re falling in their job to keep actual liberals caged and out of power.

Unfortunately I suspect that not much will be too ugly for them to try against Bernie. The prime directive must be followed. And that is to serve wealth and power.

Well that has to have Dem leadership fit to be tied.

Hi David,

There’s a war going on for the soul of the Democratic party. Obama is on the side of the elites. That’s why.

Yes, I was going to mention his friends were speaking to Fox Business. Well, of course. They’d hardly be talking to Counterpunch.

Well those are the priorities of the oligarchy.

So many great quotes to be pulled out of this.

“the consensus of elite liberal opinion is that cold in the winter is an illusion, and that populism is just a different way of spelling deplorables.”

And this by Stoller:

“by being condescended to by boomers who insist their politics of self-serving woke looting is pragmatic — and anyone who eve…[Read more]

So the Senator that wasn’t out of double digits in her home state is going to be a big boost for Biden? Might very well be the opposite, and Bernie supporters could hope that it will drive a decent portion of the African American vote to him given her history in the state.

Very good questions, thanks.

Will he give a speech when Bernie wins? Will Bernie want him to?

He is exposing himself for the Neoliberal servant that he is/was. The question is will his fan club ever get that.

Again, no introspection from Dem leadership on their failures. But vote Blue no matter who! Loyalty only goes one way, listen to your betters. /sarcasm

My response to Munchkin is this:

The only thing economists that you will hear from in the MSM will do is support the ruling elites’ narrative. I plan on posting this in general discussion this weekend with some further comments.

Yes, and McConnell has said how he’s looking forward to working with the Democrats next year to cut benefits. I think anticipating Biden in the White House.

Well don’t worry, there will always be plenty of money for war to keep you safe. It’s our consolation price as we die bankrupt from untreated disease.

“Vote blue no matter who” is a scam for Dem elites to demand loyalty they won’t return.”

Yeah, I think most here have that figured out, probably years and years ago. Still glad she’s saying it.

Even if she’s a Russian asset.

It’s likely imho,

And given how precarious most Americans are, if not already sunk, there will be no easy recovery unless wealth is redistributed, and unless Bernie is President, I don’t see either side doing what should be done.

I have to reluctantly admit I like Steyer, which is really surprising. There are signs he’s a decent man inside, which just shows that stereotypes can be just that. Now do I like him enough to give him political power beyond what he can buy, don’t think so.

Oh, and I’d still tax the hell out of him. But that’s not personal, just good business (economics).

They have no idea what regular people’s lives are like. No idea of how their system is failing, no introspection, no willingness to see what is right in front of them, and little or no decency.

Just a religion of $.

Why are other supporters allowed a free pass. Why it’s simple. Their candidates are not threatening the Plutocratic gravy train.

Yes, and what Wolff has been saying the last couple of months about the economy should be scaring the pants off anyone paying attention.

To heck with Krugman. He hasn’t been correct about anything with regards to economics in decades.
