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.

Re: Bernie the Bomber’s Bad Week

Are they saying that socialism is inevitable, or is this faulty parallel...

Re: Bernie the Bomber’s Bad Week
But suppressing the insurgency may well lead to an even greater militancy. Most young people have shed the knee-jerk anti-Communism of the Cold War; the fear of socialism is receding, as many are exposed to the inequalities and injustices of capitalism and search for radical alternatives. My genera...

Re: Wake Me When It’s Over
08-06-2015#6 Kid of the Black Hole You guys make me smile so much this morning. Anax once told me that you guy were "the core" even if everyone else veered -- or begged -- off (and "everyone else" is a larger group than former pop indy/bell members).

Re: What's a progressive anyway?

Re: What's a progressive anyway?
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.

Re: What's a progressive anyway?
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...
