Maybe one day people like you will look into Biden's congressional record, but I don't hold out much hope. — StreetlightX
And people wonder why Trump remains a threat. — StreetlightX
The opinions of morons don't count.

Actually, they did count. They elected Trump. So you stand corrected. — James Riley
Why vote cancer? Seems like a terrible idea. — StreetlightX
Liberal is the fount of all that is good, including that which conservatives now want to conserve, and which their forebears fought against. — James Riley
Keep going, Kim Ill James. — StreetlightX
Also what is it about liberals and Hitler? If he didn't exist, I'd imagine liberals would have to invent him because otherwise they would have no way to orient themselves politically. — StreetlightX
Liberals never gave anyone anything, — StreetlightX
Anything every wrested from the powers of conservatism was done so by the exercise and threat of violence by the working class. — StreetlightX

↪Tobias If Trump is good for one thing, it's that he makes clear who the enemy is. The political field becomes arrayed in a very neat way. The mushy liberal 'consensus' of the 90s and 00s - which just so happened to mark the definitive triumph of neoliberalism - gave way to show that the whole thing was rotten to begin with. Social democracy hasn't been forgotten, so much as its been shown to be a facade that stung together by tape as workers lost their rights, pay stagnated, inequality ratcheted up, state supports dismantled, debt became structural, and the Global South was left to rot by the Global North - all long before Trump came to the scene. Trump is nothing but a crest on this wave, but he does a good job defining its contour. — StreetlightX
The conformism which has marked the social Democrats from the beginning attaches not only to their political tactics but to their economic views as well. Nothing has so corrupted the German working class as the notion that it was moving with the current... Social Democratic theory and to an even greater extent its practice were shaped by a conception of progress which bore little relation to reality but made dogmatic claims. Progress as pictured in the minds of the social Democrats was, first of all, progress of humanity itself (and not just advances in human ability and knowledge). Second, it was something boundless (in keeping with the infinite perfectibility of humanity). Third, it was considered inevitable— something that automatically pursued a straight or spiral course.
The Democrats would rather Trump win than ever let a man like Sanders near the presidency. — StreetlightX
You heard glimmers of it when there was talk of his "annoying voice" and his "scolding tone" or whatever phrases I half-remember from the time. It was definitely in the wings. — StreetlightX
When did Benjamin write, the 1920s the 1930s? — Tobias
As for the rest, one only has to look at just where the attempts to 'channel class warfare and encapsulate in discourse and consensus politics' have gotten us. Here. — StreetlightX
The endless fight for the gun will just be that, an endless fight for the gun and in the process millions get shot and die. — Tobias
