Yes, I considered that, but without a humiliation and a sense of true defeat I am not so sure there will be any sort of real self reflection, but perhaps increased irredentism and certainly racism, instead. Economic woes often just makes states and empire more volatile and not less.
But maybe. I am just skeptical, I guess.
For me, the Demsâ cartel destroying Bernieâs candidacy will remain the grievous error of the last 8 years. I still feel ill thinking of the Clyburn, Pelosi, Schumer, Buttigieg, Klobuchar antics. And none of that is changing.
We can blame the American people all we want. But the Dems are now reaping what they sowed. As @cynicaloldgit would say, neoliberal hogwash.
Nah - I would never use the word âhogwashâ.
Poetic license on my part. You could use my help.
She will be shackled and sabotaged by the Democratic Party.
Agree, but I think that the discussion of how to perhaps get around that is interesting. Bernie at least seems to be thinking though a framework to do so. And the Fain idea was cool.
By the way, it reminds me of how you have found ways of getting around having to work in the office.
Oi, itâs Friday and a weekend in Bangladesh 
Why are you addressing me directly?
He just gave you a hint regarding his free weekend⌠
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink

Please take it to the silly bollocks thread
Ahhh.
Nevermind. I am not going to interfere in your private beef.
which ones?
letâs get real here. You can keep your opinions to yourself on that topic, please and thank you very much
We cannot be in conflict with everyone at the same time - the same could arguably be said of the need to mend fences with India. But if the US is no longer a trusted partner, why is it ok that Cisco passes any information to NSA on demand, but Huawei passing any information to Chinese intelligence is out of bounds? Doesnât make a lot of sense.
Isnât the whole point of a forum for people to share and discuss their opinions? 
Itâs for people to express their opinions, and slag off everyone elseâs.
hrmmâŚwhere do we start?
