anyway thanks for this one, it was good, he repeats some talking points from his movie, and he's right about biden, but he didn't really explain why people would support a fraud and a scumbag

however the issue with biden's policies is that they are "investments" that will pay off "in the future", which might be never at this rate, while inflation is felt in the wallet today

part of what reich explains about the division of america since the 70s etc is also in how people are experiencing inflation. and it's the bottom bracket that is feeling it the most right now. the cost of this fiscal investment in the future is paid by those price increases

the homeowner who locked the 2% mortgage is sitting pretty, while renters are having to sell their plasma to keep up with increases. the reason it's "hard to explain" is because the benefit of having green union jobs 5 years from now is a cost today, and people who are living hand to mouth can't wait

of course the fraud and scumbag will give a tax cut which only reintroduces the problem at a future date, but with interest

there are also cultural issues that are not mentioned where the left is scoring many own-goals: censorship and cancel culture (mccarthyism of the left i guess) are diving adults who grew up speaking their minds into the hands of the scumbag, the stupidity of defund the police and the rise of crime moves the center closer to the right, etc etc.

eta: notice it's "disorder" not crime rising https://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-c...fbi-rcna144100

It's not semantics. Unless everybody who calculates these statistics is wrong and/or we're living in a parallel dimension, crime in the US is down. Of course, if people turn on the TV and the first thing they see is cops dragging students across the dirt and "Just like 1968!" and bullcrap, and they cannot make fine distinctions, well...

As for "cancel culture", I... can't have this discussion again. I'm tired.

I like what Bernie Sanders said. Paraphrasing: We have differences with President Biden, he's accomplished things he should indeed be proud of, while his response in other matters has been either inadequate or completely fucked up, but this November vote Biden, NO EXCUSES.

just a reminder that censorship and cancellation used to be the right's game

they're still doing it in "don't say gay" florida and various book-burning states across the south

but the side that was supposed to be in favor of the open exchange of ideas and the light of reason isn't for those things anymore

now the left has its own word police. speaking banned words carries severe sentences! liberalism has been taken over by cultural revolution

and if you're offended, you can shut down any discussion on any subject

okay, maybe people got tired of right wing propaganda and decided to fight fire with fire

but-- it's not working, it undermines the principles of liberalism that sustained our era (liberalism broadly understood as inalienable individual rights). and because of polarization there's a serious backlash now... which will doom us, because in war the fascists are tougher and more disciplined, while the left bickers over purity issues and it eats its own

classic

bernie is an old geezer and knows better from experience, but it's the children that are deserting biden. "not pure enough!" good luck with the alternative...
