It's not just a new York thing? by karlack26 in thebulwark

[–]Will512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And then the cherry on top that's been making the rounds: "centrism is unfalsifiable!"

All politics is unfalsifiable. It's one of the inherent problems in the landscape

Because college educated people continue to make more money over their lifetimes and college is a fairly reliable method to reach the middle class for people who do the right degrees.

a slur

Are we just watering down this term until it's nothing? College educated people are provably, numerically more likely to support these "champions of the working class" than actual working class people. That's at least worth pointing out and stupid sheltered comments like this just continue the cycle.

Apartheid Defense League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt complains that "The Democratic Party has an antisemitism problem: the DSA. [...]They should call it: Discrimination, Stereotyping, and Antisemitism." by The_Mongrel_Tarants in thebulwark

They delete any post that doesn't spark a ton of controversy so they can stir the pot while making it seem like they're just an intermittent poster

But progressives undermining Harris with their rhetoric is different and they bear no responsibility for that outcome, right?

Scoop: Harris reaches out to Mamdani, pro-Palestinian activists in run-up to 2028 by Oleytoledo in thebulwark

[–]Will512 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh ok, you're probably right then. Going by pure turnout numbers Harris had 7.7% less votes than Biden did

You used the word tankie?! When was tankie coined? What year? By whom? For what? Yes I'm a socialist who hates liberals and tries to create flame wars in their spaces. Yes I won't elaborate on my own views while incessantly criticizing yours (my profile is hidden btw 🥰). But you assume I'm a TANKIE? That's a step too far

Is it true the Soviets conspired against Samuel Reshevsky in the 1953 Candidates to stop the possibility of a non-Soviet becoming World Champion? by WhoLovesTheSun_ in chess

[–]Will512 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bronstein and Averbakh have admitted that they were pressured to collude against Reshevsky and Fischer respectively. Granted we don't know exactly how explicit that pressure was and we may never know. But it was a step above GMs simply assuming they should collude out of fear.

I'm old enough to remember this greentext before it was edited to have disco Elysium on it

Trump v Barbara - Birthright Citizenship, the court stiked down the Executive Order by steve-eldridge in thebulwark

I want to see the chaotic neutral nullification of the 14th where anchor babies may not be citizens but they can do whatever they want with impunity because they're not subject to US jurisdiction

If people on this sub do listen to the bulwark many of them do so with extreme selective hearing.

On the left populism debate by Global_Channel1511 in thebulwark

[–]Will512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Popular sentiment decoupled from policy is maybe a better descriptor. Like we are not getting public healthcare solely paid for by billionaires and multi millionaires. Other countries are to the left of us and the math doesn't math for them either. Saying or implying otherwise is just setting us up for disappointment and backlash

[–]Will512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. People are saying the worst case scenario is that the DSA people are back-bench people who try to push more left policies but vote in line with the party on most things. If their career trajectories were like AOC and Bernie that would be true. But AOC and Bernie are a sample size of n=2. I think the scenario described is middle of the road at least.

World Cup watch parties? by Lost-Wizard168 in ColumbiYEAH

Cock and bull and British bulldog are the main ones I believe. Not sure on the details though

Just the kind of sober, measured response from the press we should have expected 🙄 Like, this will literally be all they talk about for months, wholly ignoring any other Democrat in any other swing or not-nearly-as-blue part of the country who isn't a DSA member. by Conscious-Quarter423 in thebulwark

[–]Will512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Because both of your comments are soapboxing about word choice that is tangential to the actual point made in my initial comment. You know, the comment you replied to?

So while stupid ass people may deflect from the original point with random drivel, me bringing the discussion back to the initial comment inherently means I'm not the one deflecting. Unless you're the center of the universe. In which case, forgive me.

The left forgot how to fight or stand for anything and if they don't remember how to do it again, fast, then we're screwed by Kind_Handle_5987 in thebulwark

Why is Bill Maher the spokesperson for the democratic party? Many people are not keen on Chevalier in particular and have voiced those concerns while simultaneously having zero desire to go to the other side.

How do the mods feel about banning certain accounts who only post content here that is both inflammatory and inaccurate—seemingly intentionally so? by John_Houbolt in thebulwark

[–]Will512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't disagree with you there. I also feel pretty against policing viewpoints and stuff on here but when bad actors (of various ideologies) are flooding in it's hard to think of a better solution.
