The same strategy can work anywhere a two party system is in place. RAP is pinning a new pinned tweet for @BernieOrBust. Manifesto, reasoning, choice, target and #leverage in 140 characters.
#ProgressiveOrBust because neoliberals are as dangerous as orange fascism. Left or right? What's it going 2 be @TheDemocrats? Lose w/out us?
"Already by the 1870s Pettigrew described America not as a capitalist free market republic but as a plutocratic empire...."
Sane Progressive is right on a number of points including the need to TAKE power. #DemExit clearly continues.
A draft Bernie Movement to create a People's party has been launched. I spoke with the organizer and here are my thoughts (please actually WATCH the FULL content before assuming my position). Update, as predicted here first, Bernie said NO today on Meet the Press.
Good insights as to how an "insane clown" became President.
"In January, the DCCC raised $4.1 million online with an average donation of $18."
Democrats, who think neoliberals are the answer to Trump, are in for a rude awakening.
"The anti-war movement needs to step up and oppose Cardin’s effort to put in place roadblocks to détente. Will Democratic Party aligned groups undermine the peace movement, join the work for peace or stay away from the issue? Of course, if the Trump administration‘s threats against Iran continue, the peace movement will have to protest Trump."
There's an anti-war movement?
"The trick is to keep them aiming their fire at Republicans and Trump, not turning it into a circular firing squad targeting fellow Democrats."
That is, of course, complete bullshit. The trick is to protest against fascism AND neoliberal Democrats.
"If Hillary had won, the plutocratic “erosion of U.S. democracy” would still be continuing apace, though less transparently and with a more campus town-calming guise of liberal triumph and “diversity.” The same can be said of the expanding police state. And of the ever-deadlier destruction of livable ecology by “anthropogenic” (really capitalogenic) climate change."
Sleep too much? This will help keep you awake at night.
The DNC is going to choose their next chair on the 25th this month. What do you think about a #SamOrBust effort to compel the DNC to choose him or else see the Party die a short death?
Cabin Talk with yours truly discussing revolutionary consumption to preserve the climate and be part of the resistance.
"Resisting Trump alone will not stop the hard right. We need to continue the Sanders attack on the neoliberal order by offering a compelling vision for social and economic justice."
How about a compelling demand? #ProgressiveOrBust
"People who think humanity is safe from danger are ignorant and delusional, but so are people who think that we can’t pass this test. The doomers, nihilists and defeatists who insist we’re heading for a horrible end are refusing to acknowledge the undeniable, unprecedented, and rapidly accelerating changes that our species has been making in their lifetime. This ain't their daddy's Homo sapiens no more. We’ve changed so much so quickly, and there’s so much more to it than just internet access."
