I feel we're at least 5 years away from Took picking some of the books up on a whim and doing a full 180

Just ignore everything J.K. Rowling ever said or did.

The Harry Potter books manuscripts were found in a cave and unfortunately remain unsigned, it's like a gift.

The biggest problem for left/socialist activism in the United States has always been an inability to understand or navigate party coalitions and Democratic Party intra-party politics. That refusal to engage with the grassroots of the Democratic Party has left Socialists and other Left groups small and powerless.

Decisions in American politics are made within interest groups in coalition. This is how every major successful political movement in the USA has affected change. This is how Fundamentalists and Extreme right groups took over the Republican party. Most power and decision making is made at the Primary stage.

This is why Sanders works within the Democratic Party, and doesn't run for President as an Independent.

She's been in Iceland the past few weeks relaxing on a 200ft Super Yacht. Apparently Iceland is a popular place right now for Billionaires and Oligarchs who want to escape the COVID games in their home countries.

No lie detected. The US system of government is literally designed to foil factional groups. And the left doesn’t do much to sell itself to centrist democrats. The most vocal on the left are intransigent, see this thread

Yeah and how’d that work out for Bernie? Whenever he’s about to win the nomination, they just cheat him out of it.

he has never been that close to the nomination. He lost each time. closest he got was 3 million votes short. He stays in the game though because he understands coalition politics and his influence on the party.

This is why he doesn't simply run a General election campaign as an Independent

doesn't Bernie still losing after 4 years of Trump outright disprove that the DNC is about to "learn its lesson"

only if you believe Sanders is the lesson.

He can't even get half of Dem primary voters to support him.

I'm not understanding the logic here. Given two options, one shouldn't vote against having the worse one in the near term if there is no guarantee that doing so won't prevent similarly poor options from ever winning again in any future term, even though letting the worse option win in the near term also doesn't guarantee that similarly bad options will never win again in any future term?

The biggest difference between now and 2016 is no on one has to wonder how Trump will govern. Of course it was obvious before he was elected, but now there's no excuse

If Trump governed the way I thought he would in 2016 (i.e. starting a nuclear war and/or world war 3) I’d be much more willing to consider Biden. But he’s been a pretty typical Republican in terms of his tax cuts, corporate nonsense and deregulation. I’d say he’s actually pretty good for a Republican President in terms of foreign military policy, although he’s undoubtedly still an evil war criminal. He’s also done a few good things such as some prison reform and some leftist stances on trade. Is Trump awful? Absolutely, but he is not enough of an existential threat for me to consider Biden. Both of them will continue hurting the planet and country. I will ask you guys this, if there are people like me holding out for Biden to support progressive policies, why can’t he support even ONE of those policies? What does he have to lose by supporting universal healthcare? I will never vote for anyone who doesn’t support universal healthcare again in my life unless the other candidate is actually Hitler.

He fucked over the entire world with our COVID-19 response, what are you fucking on about. That alone should be enough

200k people by the end of the year (or way before) will have died in the USA, the vast majority of which could have been prevented
