a future to believe in

Ови који мисле да су за све њихове проблеме криви НАФТА и Канада - они већ гласају за Трампа. Тако да нисам сигуран колико му је ово паметно?

Nema vise sta drugo. Plus, ako igde ima smisla - ima smisla u Micigenu

То јесте, али треба том народу понудити какву реалну причу. Реиндустријализација - тај воз је одавно отишао. Имао је и Обама те неке носталгичне приче, small-town America, дабоме после није било ништа. Microwaved American Dream, and well past the expiry date. Мислим, у праву си: као стратегија за разваљени Мичиген може да прође.

But as Bernie’s popularity and influence grew, it seemed all he wanted to do was scale up the regime of town meetings.

“It’s like the Steve Martin movie, The Jerk,” the aide says. “He’s born in a shack. Then, when he hits it big, he builds a shack-mansion.”

So I’ve been on the fence about sharing this clip, because folks who’ve done it have been berated.

But Black and Brown people deserve to know the things Joe Biden has said, what he’s stood for, and how his policies have impacted their communities.

Sve se slažem.

Virdžinija nikad ne razočara

An idea from progressive Catholic theology might be useful for understanding Joe Biden and why we need him: pater patitur — the father suffers.

Biden, unlike Trump, doesn’t inflict suffering. But nor does he suffer “for” us.

He suffers *with* us. https://t.co/9UKMzqYecT

znači fetalna pozicija indeed:

And isn’t that what America needs right now as we fight against despair after Trump’s desecrations?

We don’t need the agitations of Bernie Sanders; we need a salve. And though this is much harder to admit, we collectively lack the fortitude and solidarity to respond to the clarion call of the peerless Elizabeth Warren, who in stronger times could have led us to a more perfect union.

As former FBI special agent and law professor Asha Rangappa put it recently, “Right now America needs some aspirin, a cup of soup and some TLC.”

And Biden knows how to administer TLC. Having lost a wife and two children, he now speaks as a forever-grieving widower and parent. He is familiar with loss in his marrow. And this is what allows him to see, with radical compassion, the facts of our country under Trump: family separations, border detention camps, ubiquitous guns, neglect of public health, the catastrophic effects of the climate crisis.

ali we don't deserve Elizabeth Warren, znači usraću se

"There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”

Izbori kao kolektivna terapija... Pa što nisu podržali Marijanu Vilijamson?

Maša Gesen se posrala po glavi NJT i njihovom dopisniku iz Moskve zbog onog budalastog teksta o Sandersovom putu u Jaroslavlj 1988, u kojem je on "glup" i "upao u kandže sovjetske propagande"; isto je uradio i tadašnji američki ambasador u SSSR Džek Metlok.

Svaka cast, nisam ocekivao, mislio sam da je firmly u Biden campu

Dobra analiza. Međutim, mislim da ne treba čoveka koji je miroljubiv po prirodi terati da radi nešto što nije u skladu sa njegovim temperamentom. Sanders nije siledžija, i to je zapravo dobro. Time rečeno, to ne sprečava njegovu kampanju da udara po Bajdenu. Takođe, mislim da ne bi bila loša stvar kada bi Sanders odmah odredio sebi VPa - establišmentskog ili antiestablišmentskog, nebitno. Nekoga ko će ili kampanji dati agresivno lice, ili služiti kao establišmentski kišobran od katastrofičarske propagande.

evo ja se ne slažem

ili bar da probam da artikulišem razlog zbog kog mi se ne sviđa ideja da Berni u kampanji nastavi da nastupa kao da je business as usual.

establišmentski veep bi bio ravan priznanju poraza. što bi neko glasao za Bernija zbog establišmentskog veepa ako već ima pravog establišmentskog kandidata u Bajdenu koji ionako vodi po broju delegata? neestablišmentski veep je okej potez, ali to neće ništa bitno promeniti u situaciji u kojoj smo: sad je 1 na 1 sa Bajdenom, prosto mora sam da bije tu bitku.

nek voli Bajdena privatno koliko hoće, ali Berni mora da počne da ga agresivnije napada. napravio je nešto što je veće od njega samog i to što je napravio ne može da bude ograničavano njegovim idiosinkrazijama, koliko god načelno bile pohvalne. ako je stvarno budućnost ljudskog života na planeti u pitanju, ako su u pitanju život/smrt situacije za milione ljudi bez osiguranja, ako je budućnost čitavih generacija pod znakom pitanja zbog dugova, ako je ekonomska nejednakost sve veća, ako su čitave etničke zajednice egzistencijalno ugrožene od trenutne administracije, ako je stvarno "not me. us", i ako je došao ovoliko blizu kandidaturi, onda možda ipak da ne pustimo da se sve završi sa "Joe is a good friend of mine."

možda je to očajnički, možda nije fer očekivati to od njega, ali ne vidim alternativu. sve drugo mi izgleda kao lagano potapanje bušnog broda koje provodimo iščekujući da glasači shvate da bi Bajden provodio dane u beloj kući razgovarajući sa portretima bivših predsednika.

ovo treba da upotrebi kao oružje, weaponize the despair, nećemo vam izaći na izbore ako kandidujete lika koji je rekao da bi veep mogao da mu bude republikanac.

Who are the voters who will sit out the election if Bernie Sanders isn't the Democratic nominee? @stavernise tells us about one of them, a 29-year-old so mired in debt, so disappointed with his prospects, that he can't contemplate starting a family.https://t.co/e3WOXfO58a

Rep. Ro Khanna, a national campaign co-chair for Bernie Sanders, on Friday called Elizabeth Warren "an outstanding choice" to become Sanders' running mate should he capture the Democratic presidential nomination.

The California Democrat told MSNBC he would "absolutely" advise Sanders to name a woman as his vice presidential pick, and singled out the Vermont senator's colleague from Massachusetts when asked who specifically he would recommend.

Bernie Sanders will headline a Fox News town hall on Monday in Detroit, on the eve of the Democratic primary in the state.

This will be Sanders’ second town hall this cycle with the news outlet. Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum will moderate the event, starting at 6:30 PM ET.

Sanders’ town hall with Fox News last April drew nearly 2.6 million viewers, making it the most watched of the cycle.

ajd pa da vidimo kako će to da izgleda

Shack-mansion!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ne mož d'ubode da kaže "Obama" baš nikako

Ovi postaje bizarno. Sd kad premotam film, pa se setim onih saveta o deci kojoj treba pustati ploce, postaje jasno da nisu bili u pitanju gafovi, nego pattern, sami ga tad nismo prepoznavali kao takvog.

Zvuci neverovatno, ali izgleda da su uspeli da nadju goreg kandidata od Hilari.

Trampa jedino korona nekako da sjebe. Zamisljam debate...urnisace ga ako on bude kandidat
