Soon after he said he had started to like Trump.
We didn't move a little to the left. We moved way to the left. Way, way, way to the left. Obama is the most liberal president in 40 (forty!) years - by far.
If you want to be a moderator that's fine, but your standards seem abnormally high for my post. I imagine it bothers you more that I'm taking shots at the article than it does that my post doesn't add anything to the discussion, whatever that means in this thread.
We can repeal Obamacare! And defund parenthood!
Yeah it's power dynamics any many Bernie stans seem oblivious to many of them
That's what Bernies campaign represents with his complete lack of understanding anything beyond their parochial desires.
I see things much more as webs of interconnectedness not a ladder of heriarchy.
I didn't find it to be that great or serious. One thing that's probably easy to point out is that the precedent he uses about the holocaust is a pretty narrow one, either because he didn't know how reparations were gamed and stolen from survivors or didn't want to include that detail to muddy up the story.
You two have concocted that shift in behavior without any indication of it happening. Acting like Bernie's actions are leading to this is simply a doom and gloom attitude.
Bernie as proposed reform beyond just Glass-Stegal. The quality is to your discretion.
No. We can be limited by dialectical materialism sometimes, but all evils are not seen to be caused by Capitalism, merely that they are expressed most universally by Capitalism. That is to say that Capitalism reinforces problems like racism and sexism or homophobia.
_/¯When considering Dems complaining that Bern would harm their electability, it should also be considered that the DNC has been doing a bang up job of that by itself.

He'd provide an excellent scapegoat for their continued failure, tho. No doubt about that.
Forgive me!How dare you insult our moe!
It makes plenty of sense. In the article we were talking about ta-nehisi coates says that the discussion on reparations will lead america into some sort healing or reckoning for the nation's crimes, and as a positive example he uses Israel's holocaust reparations, because GDP increased and some historian said it was a good thing or something. All the while not realizing in many cases it failed to provide for survivors, was prone to corruption, and didn't lead to any cultural reckoning, and basically negates the whole premise of his article. I suppose the feeling is more important though.
I mean sure. That's in line with the Coates article. If you don't care about results, ignore the history, corruption, and how it changed the society, but only narrowly focus on the gesture it was wildly successful. This is probably why Coates is the chosen one among white upper class liberals.
I ignored it because the article itself doesn't even support what you said. Coates describes the Germans as basically begrudgingly agreeing to pay up. I'm not even advocating against reparations, I'm saying they shouldn't be supported by ill-informed articles, and provided an argument that the reparations didn't lead to the results the writer hoped for, and by extension can't be expected to solve anything by themselves, which is far more important than accepting guilt or other feel good activism.
