Also, unrelated, but Beto is rookie of the year for worst member of the Democratic Party. I think I got Beto Derangement Syndrome.

Super Tuesday: 'At Stake Is the Soul of the Democratic Party' [/b] Indeed. Well, they can turn off the klaxons, stand down the ninjas, the situation has returned to normal. The danger of a socialist revolution has been averted. From here on the Word will be 'socialism has been rejected by the Ameri...

As its ultimate goal, democratic socialism favours capitalist reformism, denies the historical impermanence of capitalism and the historical inevitability that human society will eventually evolve into socialism and communism.

Blindpig, you told me we were going back in time. And you're right, so far back that we have to start at the basics: And that my friend is the purpose of all these Dead Russians we keep around here, ain't just nostalgia.

Some great quotes here: All too often "progressive" has come to mean someone who will offer unconditional support to The Democratic Party no matter what.It's all bullshit. It's interesting how things panned out since 2008. It's easy to hate Bloomberg now, and the tune is obvious if he somehow got th...
