God I hate neoliberals. A segment of the Labour Party actively sabotaged Labour elections just to gut Jeremy Corbyn. They, like their American counterparts, would rather have a Trump/Johnson than Sanders/Corbyn. Pure evil IMO.

Ah yes, it's the Establishment's fault the Democratic frontrunner coming out of Iowa and New Hampshire flopped and after five years of solid campaigning, still did poorly in African American communities.

I get Jim Clyburn was a massive boost of Biden's campaign in South Carolina, but if Sanders even shows up in the South Carolina results instead of getting beat like a tin drum, the primary goes a different direction.

Now the choices are continue to push Biden to move left, or stay home. What's better, a Biden coalition government where progressives get 30% of what's on their agenda? Or the last four years?

I too get frustrated by the speed -- or lack thereof -- the party is moving left to support policies that will make this country, in my view, a better place for all of us. But I also get the Democratic party is an extraordinarily wide tent and I can't get everything I want in a candidate.

Bernie's not gonna see the mountaintop, but only continued work from progressives within the party -- not taking the ball and going home -- is what will get there. Just 5 years until AOC is elgible to run for the office...

plus if he manages to name a (black? woman?) VP, when he supposedly goes totally senile and they decide hes unfit to serve, booyah, batter up. or some such silver lining. hes also got a decent labor record and way better environmental record than given credit for. i know hes still in the pickets of the corporations, but thats our reality, its better to deal with reality than try to avoid it.

Meanwhile, this Kushner guy is getting creepier like that batman scarecrow villain... eeew. i guess youd have to be creep to marry a lady whos dad admittedly want to hump her. maybe we love reality tv too much here? Kushner Appears to Break Law Running Campaign from White House - CREW

This one is, to a large degree, more appropriate somewhere in Cooks sub forum. But then again, it could go in the Covid threads as it does bring up what the disease is doing societally.

And, it is enlightening journalism when one reads an article written beautifully by an insider about an industry that one is not conversant in.

The Lab That Discovered Global Warming Has Good News and Bad News - The New York Times

"The good news is that the pandemic shows “science works.” The bad news? Global warming may be far more dangerous than a pandemic."
