Hillary Clinton lost. Bernie Sanders could have won.

Coming from the same publication that ran 16 negative Bernie articles in ONE DAY during the primary. Thanks.

 

A lottttt of right wing trump supporters were dying for Bernie so... idk man. I love Bernie but idk

 

I don't know what you do for work, but I hope it takes advantage of your way with words in some way. If it doesn't I hope it someday will.

 

It doesn't count for anything at this point anyway tbh. I'm just salty

 

Freddie DeBoer has written some pretty good articles, though.

 

Most definitely, he at least has been consistent

 

It was the Democrats' embrace of neoliberalism that won it for Trump | Naomi Klein

EU anti-refugee fervor. The Brazilian Coup. Brexit. Trump. 2016 can go fuck itself. Never has there been a more urgent time for a truly left of liberalism movement though.

 

Yet people think we will only move more right after this... ugh

 

So I'm riding high right now that trump removed the Muslim ban thing from his website. should I not get my hopes up?

 

Ha. Thank you. Sadly, it does not. This recent election, however, has forced me to reassess, materially, what I've been doing for the past four years and it is time for a change. I need to get back on my abandoned path to becoming a teacher.

 

The new law will be: In order to demonstrate that you are not a member of ISIS, all Muslims have compulsory military service in the upcoming adventures in the Middle East.

 

If historians exist 100 years from now when the planet is 6 degrees C warmer

 

At least we know that won't change.

 

"Our action, or lack thereof, in coming months, will determine the fate of the movement our children and grandchildren will ultimately inherit. I only hope that the leadership inside the Beltway recognizes it before it is too late, and starts contingency planning today, instead of focusing solely upon the next cycle in two years, because today, people are more valuable to us than PAC dollars, and our ability to form an actual movement to respond to attacks is more urgent than wondering which Democrat we will run for office in two years.

Where will we be when Trump appoints a Scott Walker to head up the Department of Labor? Or when official time is taken away in the federal sector? Or when all of us have to hold annual elections to re-certify our contracts?

All of these things will ultimately move to turn the tide in some future election cycle, but in the here and now, it is far too high a price to be paid for a Democratic victory that will merely serve to stop the hemorrhaging.

It’s truly organize or die time, and that doesn’t mean simply signing up new members — it means moving all of them to action around their issues, not ours, because clearly, there must be a difference between the two that we have missed along the way."


Labor Under Trump | Jacobin

 

Oh, right. They'll all be huddled in the middle of whatever tiny % of the planet is still habitable

 

dom, why must you do this to me. I haven't been able to eat in days because my anxiety has returned.

 

Newfoundland and Labrador or bust

 

Pretty sure he originally wrote this with Clinton's name and just changed it. labor was doomed with either candidate.

 

Not sure if the full list has been posted
