The Republican push to remove birthright citizenship for all Americans with activist judges

@govols Universities have served professional aspirations for over a century. When minorites demanded programs like ethnic and gender studies so that they could have a place in our public institutions and work toward the public good, and when public schools were desegregated, the right defunded those schools and the rest of the public sector (e.g. government managers and social workers) that would have traditionally provided jobs for those and other liberal arts degrees.

WilyRickWiles replies on Feb 14, 2020:
@BobCoffey1 You're doing a great job at demonstrating the dynamic in the image! As for Soros, he is one of the few billionaires who donates to left-leaning activist organizations and not just think tanks that defend corporate interests. Those causes support civil society--not just his self-interest. Of course it still distorts politics and culture, but it is unfair to expect the left to unilaterally disarm. At least he and the left support solutions to reform campaign financing and tax billionaires like him. And the left still must contend with the corporate interests that dominate most Democratic institutions and push the party to the right on fiscal and foreign policy matters. The right has been much smarter in organizing like-minded billionaires to support the political infrastructure needed to advance their corporate agenda in every level and branch of government.
Truth...?

WilyRickWiles replies on Feb 14, 2020:
@Naomi I would say it is the "very liberal," or "progressive," or leftist, who make up the Democratic Party's ideological base, who are most critical of the party. There are of course disaffected non-voters who lean left as well. Demographically, they are the young, professional women, and working class people of color. Trump has caused an exile of upper middle class Republicans to the Democratic Party who are fiscal conservatives and hawkish on foreign policy. They would be happy to replace the bad mannered racist and sexist billionaire President with a good mannered racist and sexist billionaire. And many older Democrats are ready to go along as long as Bloomberg makes a good case for beating Trump. But it has always been important to the ideological base of the Democratic Party to get big money out of politics. They are forced to work through the Democratic Party because of how our political system is structured.

@fewlme1ce23 The US is much more diverse demographically than the UK so Sanders is unlikely to face the same challenges as Corbyn. Moreover, he does not face Brexit dynamics, a tabloid-dominated media, or sustained smears of antisemitism or radicalism (e.g. sympathy for the IRA). He may not be the ideal candidate of the classical liberals, but their hatred of Trump bolstered by impeachment will be enough to turn them out. Sanders's strength with young people and Latinos actually makes him stronger in aggregate support than a classical liberal candidate.

@Daveclark5 The article probably could have done a better job at explaining her ideas. She's not arguing that elections have nothing to do with whether elected officials represent their constituency. She's arguing that they should worry less about representing mythical moderate swing voters and more about representing their partisan coalition. After all, the average voter is more to the left economically and to the right socially than the mythical moderate who is the reverse. Appealing to the 6% swing voters alienates the 40% who are in the Democratic coalition, 17% of whom look demographically just like the most likely Democratic voters but are more disaffected and need more motivation to turn out.

You sound like you might be part of the 6% or so who are true swing voters. It's not surprising that swing voters would have swung back against the Republicans if they did not deliver a change in the status quo. But the argument Bitecofer is making is that that 6% is not the big difference-maker--partisan motivation is. And in 2018, right-leaning voters were just as motivated as they were in 2016. The big difference-maker was that left-leaning voters were nearly as motivated, and there were enough of them to take the House.

Trump gets credit for not reversing the economic trends that began years ago during the Obama administration.

@Rick-A Check the White House's own website on black unemployment, for example. https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/u-s-unemployment-rate-remains-at-near-historic-low-of-3-7-percent-african-american-unemployment-rate-hits-new-series-low/

And Rush’s reaction was amazing. He was shocked and speechless. What a sweet gesture to give a man with stage 4 cancer a medal like that for all he’s done for our country. It was a tear jerker of a moment. All of his guests were special. How can you watch that and just sit on your ...

Shocked even though everyone knew he was getting the medal and that's why he was there. He's one of the worst people in public life. Up there with Hillary.

Trump Casually Mills About Supreme Court Changing Rooms Ahead Of State Of The Union Address
Hanno comments on Feb 4, 2020:
I don’t get it... is the woman in underwear supposed to be Nancy? And why would he be in the woman’s changing room or is it Pelosi in the men’s changing room. Non-American missing the context again... sorry.

Bernie Sanders and other Democratic presidential candidates praise the “Nordic model.
Hanno comments on Feb 3, 2020:
I thought I explained to you Ricky, the difference between a social democrat and a democratic socialist. Listen again carefully: Nordic model is a Capitalist economy with strong equal opportunities and social support structures. It works (or used to work) due to the complete lack of diversity......
WilyRickWiles replies on Feb 3, 2020:
@Hanno You ignore time and time again that I am not saying that the ideology of the DSA is the same as the ideology behind Finland's status quo. Once again, all I am saying is that the main thing that DSA is working toward right now is social democracy, especially universal healthcare. The fact that it can coexist with capitalism does not mean it is not social democracy and does not mean that socialists cannot advocate for it.
Bernie Sanders Pledges Legal Marijuana In All 50 States On Day One As President
Hanno comments on Feb 3, 2020:
Irrespective of my personal views on marijuana... is this not something each State needs to decide on, as the USA is a federation? Ignorant question from my side, I really don’t know.

U.S. Can Run Deficits Much Bigger Than $1 Trillion: Economist Kelton
Hanno comments on Jan 31, 2020:
Thanks, we recently discussed why it would be a bad idea to have socialist politicians run all facets of the economy... You just proved the point. You suggest we do just like Zimbabwe did... or Argentina or any of a number of failed economies... past and recent.
WilyRickWiles replies on Feb 2, 2020:
@Leroy_Dumonde All fundamentalism. And now you seem to be making the argument for a recession rather than a collapse.

@Hanno Did they also have extremely diversified economies, the world's most powerful military, and the world's reserve currency? And was spending really the catalyst of their problems?

Not the same. And you know the current deficit is $1 trillion and that there are trillions more on the Fed's growing balance sheet, right? Does a few hundred billion more, which is still a single digit percentage of GDP suddenly lead to hyperinflation, regardless of how it's spent?
