    2020 Democratic Primary Race

    So they can bend the knee to Pelosi and Schumer while we send them more of our money? They don't have the courage to call out party leadership because they're afraid of not getting on a good committee? Well what has that gotten them? Remember when like 5 people from the Freedom Caucus held congress hostage? Lol let me give a sports analogy here. In what sport are you successful playing scared? What do you ever accomplish in anything by acting out of fear? They couldn't even try to force an actual vote just to make sure there was some accountability because they're scared of optics I guess but the thing about optics is that they change. Remember how popular the Iraq war was innitially? How does it look for those who just went along with it now? This stimulus bill wasn't just a bad vote or a mistake. This is the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the country from the bottom and the middle to the tippy top and the only "resistance" they could muster was meaningless, grandstanding speeches and twitter posts after the fact. The funny thing is that the Republicans are still saying Dems held up the bill and they're still deficit hawking and calling us Commies. Lololololol

    Yeah, lets go with the capitulation strategy. That's a proven winner.

    https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/15/trump-expansion-federal-health-care-role-187216 You sure about that? I know they have to go through McConnell to do that but medicare for is more popular than ever. If they really fought for it, i think they could get it.

    Because it's not medicare for all. It's giving more money to insurance companies who are going to raise their premiums when this is over. It's executives profiteering off of the pandemic by stealing tax money.

    Ultimately Trump's ego would never allow himself to pass on being center stage in that way. He still talks about TV ratings as president lol. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2020/4/14/21219461/democrats-new-plan-keep-laid-off-workers-insured Remember when i was bitching about nobody standing against Pelosi being elected speaker? This is how we got the garbage 4 trillion dollar give away to the 1%. She's more worried about making sure the health care industry can capitalize on this pandemic than she is people's lives. Not just the quality but with peoples lives. Why vote blue when all AOC can do is chastise but vote for anyway? People are so worried about the optics of taking a stand. Optics change. The Iraq War was popular at first. Almost everyone voted for it but years later it gave everyone that opposed it almost instant credibility. Make a stand, fight for the truth. The time for electoral politics is over. We need action. We need more stuff like in Michigan and Cali where people are using their cars since they can't gather in numbers. We need that and mass strikes. Our leaders are cowards.

    2020 Democratic Primary Race

    I mean, it's hard to argue with most of what you're saying. Bernie showed no strength. He bent the knee to Hillary. He never defended himself against smears. He refused to go all the way and tell the truth and run an aggressive campaign. Whether you like him or not, Trump laid out the blue print for running as an outsider. Instead, Bernie decided to bring a spork to a gun fight, thinking for some reason that he could play nice with the sociopath's who run the party.

    2020 Democratic Primary Race

    The DNC's main objective was to defeat Sanders, not Trump. Both parties want to enrich their donors and themselves and that's it. The DNC isn't incompetent at all. They're doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Their function in this country is to beat down the left and when they win they do the same shit as the Republicans. Both parties steal as much wealth as possible from everyone at the bottom and the middle and transfer it to the top. We're just supposed to pat ourselves on the back because one rapacious party doesn't care who you marry or where you go to the bathroom. Continuing to support the Dems only perpetuates a continuing downward spiral. Declaring you'll vote Democrat no matter what is so dumb because you immediately give up all of your leverage and ensure that you will never have a voice. I'm not sure what concessions Sanders thinks he'll get out of these monsters. I'm not sure what on earth makes him think that anything they promise can be trusted. To me it's just more political grandstanding. I'm sick of it tbh. Sanders should be leading, callimg for walk outs and rent/mortgage/credit strikes. He gave the nomination away already. Time to start looking in another direction if he truly intends on being a leader of a political revolution but he just refuses to use any of his power.

    I will never vote for Joe Biden and i'm going to make that as clear as possible online and in real life. I hope it's possible to go to the convention but i really want to try and make it out there. I wanna focus on trying to organize but i have no idea where to start. Trying to get people to help my organize a rent/mortgage/credit strike. It's a college town with tons of young people. It's a pretty small town too. The real estate is mostly owned by this company called Zukin too. Fuck this. Time to make a stand. This election is a farce.

    Greatest Team Tournie: Round 1, Day 7

    83 Skins- One of probably the top 5 HC's of all time. The Skins just would kind of beat the fuck out of the opposition with their offensive line. That's a formula that has proven effective in every era. 04 Pats- The last of the early defensively dominant era of the Patriots dynasty. They always executed on offense too, with not a lot of if any elite talent. They just executed their offense and didn't make mistakes. Tough to beat teams like that. 01 Pats- This might be the best defense of the Belichick era. Offensively, like in 04 they just played defense, played field position, and didn't make a lot of mistakes. They weren't the juggernauts that some of the other Pats teams were because Brady was just getting started but they were still damn good imo. I guess you could argue that the same team beat the Patriots that year but they didn't do it with Bill Callahan as HC ha 15 Hawks- The Legion of Boom was at it's most dominant. Lynch was in his prime and eventhough Wilson was so young he always seemed to make plays when they needed them.

    Crazy Off Season This Year

    I fully expect Brees to be playing in New Orleans next year but the Chargers have made it official that they're moving on from Rivers. I think Tom Brady is going be changing teams. What's really crazy though is that Dak could be changing teams or sitting out a year on the tag and apparently the rumor is Stafford might want out of Detroit. Cam Newton will likely be playing somewhere else too. On the other hand you have Tua coming out, who before his injury everyone was talkiny abouy tanking for Tua but he might be the 2nd or 3rd ranked guy, maybe even 4th ranked on some teams draft boards. The guy who is pretty unanimously number 1 is coming off what was probably the greatest college football season for a quarterback of all time. Problem is, it was an awfully small sample size. How does everyone see this turning out? If Dallas tagged Dak and just swapped him with Stafford, that would be highly interesting. Detroit would still have a franchise QB and Dallas might actually have the money to bring back their free agents. Would Dak refuse to go to Detroit, though? Would Detroit rather try to draft a QB and use the haul they get for Stafford to build around their new QB? What teams would be in on these veteran QB's? Probably Tennessee. Potentially Washington or maybe even Dallas. Oakland is a big possibility. How does everyone see this shaking out?

    Trump Regime thread.

    Lol you right but if there isn't another stimulus bill, i hope you're ready for some Mad Max shit. Question is, how much will "the resistance" help Trump and the banks steal from us with the next one? What's the point of building a movement and gaining political capital if you lack the conviction or the balls to actually leverage it? Sanders still holds the election in his hands. Biden can't win without him. What about Pelosi? Bernie DOMINATED California in the primary with voter fraud and voter suppression working against him. Why doesn't he say to her, "i'll make sure you lose your seat to your primary challenger if you don't push for Medicare for all." He could probably do the same to Schumer in NY where Bernie is from. You're not going yo get anything by just asking nicely and that seems to be Bernie and the Squad's strategy and it's absolutely pathetic and completely ineffective. We need leaders who are willing to declare war. We don't have that. We have cowards who are comfortable with their positions and who like to give meaningless speaches for the cameras after they've already bent the knee. As i said, fucking pathetic.
