Voters of Social Democrats are mostly boomers. Younger people on the progressive side vote mostly Greens and Left Alliance, and Social Democrats have been losing working class voters also to the nationalist populist party which is currently polling highest. Social Democrats have been in long demographic decline like elsewhere in EU, they became…[Read more]

Mathematical physics means making deal with formalist school of mathematics that standard theories of physics imply – deal with the axioms that axiomatic set theory presupposes. In that sense, physics is a matter of belief.

Waste of time.

It won’t work. Sanders is second choice to half of those who support establishment candidates in polls.

Same polster from month ago to now:

Biden 23 – > 23

Sanders 13- >22

Buttigieg 16 -> 18

Warren 23 -> 12

Klobuchar 1 -> 10

Emerson looks the most boomer poll of all, giving Biden much more than other Iowa polls. Most interesting is the rise of Klobuchar, who can beat either Warren, who has peaked and is out, or Biden, or both and come 3rd or…[Read more]

Weird use of halo photo. The halo behind the crook is also crooked, that’s the message?

There are some who have made well in the blockchain revolution, and continue to invest on radical social change of peaceful and smooth transition from class society to peer-to-peer society.  We don’t know their names, but the radical capital that the smooth transition requires keeps pouring in.

Thinking UBI and how to fund it opens up redefining money. That’s how it went with me, and seems more people are starting to have their light bulbs go on. Yang proposal can rightfully be criticized for VAT funding and other technical details, but “what if” arguments about how capitalists would fuck it up anyway are not rational, as they try to…[Read more]

He’s polling very badly in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Which was DEA-CIA operation to a) break the Black Panthers 2) to fund Contras.

deep, cynical depression

Programmed mind control.

Harasho, comrade. :)

The irony of a guy whose been most of his political career independent socialist becoming the POTUS leader of the Democratic party…

I expect Biden to drop out pretty soon.

Treating all people who voted against Clinton in last general election with respect, with Aloha, brings in many votes from Trump to progressive causes.

The partisan haters on all sides are gonna hate and lie and do their worst to prevent people uniting to create the kind of society that the large majority wants.

I don’t give a shit about emotional commitment to any word describing primarily a party registration. If progressives can take over the party institution and use it, fine. If not, do something else. The partisan identity politics of party over people sucks and SV nazi collaborators are full of it.

No, the RW government experiment was designed to prevent UBI from becoming reality based on the criterion they chose to measure success of the experiment, and so far their tactic has been working, even though current center-left government has two parties that are strongly committed to UBI – Greens and Left Alliance – in their party programs.
