General Politics Discussion (IV) [ARCHIVED] • Page 839

This is a bit of a straw man. The person isn’t arguing that both parties are the same, he’s saying they should be held accountable for both their past and present positions. We shouldn’t, in other words, settle for a party that often compromises with the right, rather than making space on the left. The reason for the latter is, on an institutional and individual level, democrats don’t want to do that. If, however, folks demanded more and and made a space for the left on their own terms, they might actually get more than crumbs

US border patrol routinely sabotages water left for migrants, report says

 

Yeah, I should have been more clear that the first half of my post wasn't necessarily an argument against this person. But no, of course we shouldn't settle - just saying that it's far easier to take over the party than to try to split off and make a new one (and that it seems likely to happen to me).

 

thanks obama

 

A good thread

 

Derogatory Cory........

 

"national socialism" should've taught everyone that

 

Ratio

 

Dunno what you mean, everyone knows Hitler was a socialist and loved socialism.

 

lol chaturbate

 

To a certain extent. Will the democratic party ever stop taking corporate money and become a member-driven party run through internal democracy? I have a hard time imagining it

 

‘Is whistleblowing worth prison or a life in exile?’: Edward Snowden talks to Daniel Ellsberg

 

I'm not an expert, but how is this not another layer of obstruction? Am I crazy in thinking this is way out of line?

 

Huckabee Sanders Repeatedly Insists That President’s Footprints Created The Great Lakes

"Frankly, it’s disgusting that journalists are obsessed with the president’s health when they should know full well that when he was five years old, he was already so big that he had to use a wagon wheel as a coat button and so strong that he could clear a whole pond of bullfrogs with one holler."

 

I just want to share this person insulting me with you folks:

 

It very well could be (way out of line, that is)

Precisely because Bannon has no privilege here. The privilege belongs to the Executive Branch. So he is on very shaky ground, because the WH has not yet formally invoked privilege.

Basically, he is not answering so as to preserve the WH’s ability to invoke privilege in the future. But that is a pretty flimsy ground to stand on. And I think that you will see considerable pushback if he is indeed coming back for more questioning today and pulls that shit.

 

"you used words i don't know and refuse to look up"

 

oh

 

There's even a section for kids!
