Here’s a take from The Archdruid Report: The Decline and Fall of Hillary Clinton:

To a very real extent, Hillary Clinton’s faltering presidential campaign is a perfect microcosm of what Spengler was talking about in his cold analysis of democracy in extremis. Her entire platform presupposes that the only policies the United States can follow are those that have been welded in place since the turn of the millennium: more government largesse for corporations and the rich, more austerity for everyone else, more malign neglect for the national infrastructure and the environment, more wars in the Middle East, and more of the fantastically stupid policy of confrontation—there really is no gentler way to describe it—that has succeeded, against all odds, in uniting Russia, China, Iran, and an assortment of smaller nations against the United States, by convincing their leaders that they have nothing to gain from a US-centric world order and nothing to lose by challenging it.

I brought that up to a Bernie Bot before, about how his refusal to vote would mean that all the progress made that he covets will be undone by a Republican in the White House. His response was to declare that it would better for the “revolution,” plus it didn’t really matter because his conscience would be clear.

She’s got so much privilege and doesn’t acknowledge it.

I would be far less impacted by a R presidency than a lot of people. We’re white upper-middle class.

But you know what? That means I have more of a responsibility to speak up and fight for those who would be impacted, not to throw a tantrum because neither candidate is my perfect unicorn. FFS.

Most polls for months have had Clinton and Sanders beating Trump, Sanders more so but I think that has more to do with his still being relatively unknown outside of Dem circles.

Haven’t yet found a political candidate that agrees with me on 100% of the issues. No such animal exists. If you find one, or one you think does, then great for you. But for the rest of us, there’s always a level of compromise. And I think that’s the problem, too many of my generation and the one behind it are overgrown children who still want that pony and won’t settle for anything less.

Well Obama and the present day Democratic party center of gravity probably are to the right of Nixon on economic issues.

Yeah, just ignore the fact that that your hissy fit over not having a perfect choice could have very real and very painful consequences for a hell of a lot of people. But when those people are suffering in the streets, be sure to yell and stamp your feet and shout in outrage “THIS SHOULDN’T BE HAPPENING IN AMERICA! WE SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THOSE POOR PEOPLE!”

I don’t think there are too many of them, just like there weren’t that many PUMAs in 2008. At the same time, I do consider it a duty to vote for the person most likely to get you to your goals. I personally would have no qualms fining someone who doesn’t vote.

Wayne Allyn Root is a Capitalist Evangelist, serial entrepreneur, conservative national media commentator, and proud champion of the middle class. He is a former Libertarian vice presidential nominee, now back to the GOP. Wayne’s latest book is “The Murder of the Middle Class” (Regenery 2014).

I don’t know what made me think of this: In its first season, SNL ran a skit called the Claudine Longet Invitational. Miss Longet was a starlet who “accidently” and fatally shot her lover, professional skier Spider Sabich, and she eventually spent a month in prison for her gaffe. SNL ran a skit where they had film of skiers wiping out with the sound of gunfire and the announcers (Chevy Chase and Jane Curtain) saying Oh he was accidently shot by Claudine Longet. For some reason that skit stuck with me all these years. I wanted to put up youtube but it seems nobody has gotten around to posting a copy. Too bad. There is a transcript and I can remember it vividly.
snltranscripts.jt.org
When I googled it I was surprised to read that it was the same episode that Lorne Michaels offered the Beatles $3000 to play on the show. John and Paul were hanging out at John’s place and were watching.

The Saudi mission in Yemen is falling apart.

The United Arab Emirates pulls its troops out of Yemen following mounting casualties among its forces battling Shia Houthi militants and rising tensions with local fighters in Aden, southern Yemen, which escalated yesterday when Aden International Airport was stormed by local pro-government gunmen. The airport has now been closed.

Yes. Probably at least one tree down on Kelly from the wind. I expect the River Trail will be flooded out in stretches as well, possibly a little further than that.

I saw water up to roughly 24th street (including a flooded out parking lot) the last serious flood. And the buildings right next to the river had flooded basements. Oddest thing was walking along there and seeing men rescuing carp from deep (~1’) puddles along the railroad tracks using a bucket and tossing them back into the river. Said carp had gotten trapped in lower ground when the water receded.

The comments at NRO on this subject are probably the finest vintage of wingnut tears I’ve ever seen (yes, even better than after Romney’s loss in 2012).

However, the hints of economic populism in some of these comments are noteworthy. That is not an issue that the Democrats can afford to cede to the Republicans.

I brought that up to a Bernie Bot before, about how his refusal to vote would mean that all the progress made that he covets will be undone by a Republican in the White House. His response was to declare that it would better for the “revolution,” plus it didn’t really matter because his conscience would be clear.

Great. I hope his conscience is clear when millions lose insurance, gays, women and minirities are harmed.

Fuck his selfish conscience.

re: #65 Lidane

If Donald Trump can flood the airwaves with his nonsense, his opponents can counter it incessantly. And while they are at it, they can tie him up in court, just as he’s trying to do to Cruz. There are a good number of “just asking” questions ready to be put to them, among them “Trump’s mother was Scottish, can he really be president?” and “Trump ran a host of scams designed to rip off the poor; surely one of them would like to sue him?” Thus far, part of Trump’s media strategy has been to say something outrageous and then to move on before it can be rebutted or fact-checked. Why are his rivals not doing the same thing to him?

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

No, Gandhi never said this one either. This quote actually appears to come from an American labor organizer named Nicholas Klein who was making a speech at a convention in 1918:

“First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you. And that, is what is going to happen to the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America.”

That is an old school set of cross-country skis. Long, wide, and heavy. I think I used them once or twice when I first started nordic skiing in the mid-70s. Bindings were not boot-specific and was a sort of cable that went around the boot. The poles had the web and metal ring basket.

By the time the whole family was skiing the skis were thinner and a lot lighter. 3-pin or 5-pin toe bindings and bamboo poles with plastic handles and baskets. And everyone still used the traditional stride method since the skating style was just beginning to get used by the racers in the early 80s. I eventually was using a pair of Fischer 210cm skis to race with - and those old ones in the picture were at least that long.

My sister took up downhill skiing as well. Thus it makes sense that she was the one who ended up living in Colorado eventually.

She’s got so much privilege and doesn’t acknowledge it.

I would be far less impacted by a R presidency than a lot of people. We’re white upper-middle class.

But you know what? That means I have more of a responsibility to speak up and fight for those who would be impacted, not to throw a tantrum because neither candidate is my perfect unicorn. FFS.

I’m old, white, relatively comfortable and I have no children, so ultimately, things like the Supreme Court, women’s reproductive rights etc. will never affect me personally, but I’ll go down fighting to protect those rights—even for infantile twits like Elizabeth, because it’s the right thing to do and it matters.

“If the California Primary is held today, who will you vote for?”

I just can’t help myself!

“There’s only one man who can make America Great Again and that’s Trump!”

“Are you aware that Trump refuses to disclose his tax returns?”

“Doesn’t matter to me”

“Do you agree that we need a President who will start his day on his knees in devout prayer?”

Ah, this must be a pollster for Cruz. ..

“No, I want a President who is a Winner. And right now Trump has won 3 in a row!”

“Do you believe that America is a Christian nation?”

“No, America needs to be a Winner again! GO TRUMP!”

And there were several more push poll questions about Trump’s wife’s nude pictures, Trump University going to court, Trump going bankrupt…

I then interrupted the pollster by telling him, “I guess you never dined on those incredible Trump Steaks! They were fabulous!

The pollster gave up…

re: #22 Mattand

Oh man, my first post here and I get to bash on John Greer? It must be Christmas.

Your thoughts are correct, the guy does not see any difference between Obama or Bush at all, but that only scratches the surface of the madness.

See, “Archdruid” John Michael Greer is a peak oil survivalist type who believes that society is gradually collapsing due to running out of fossil fuels. He views most community/grassroots activism and the broader environmental movement as pointless and instead advocates for collecting a bunch of skills and tech from this weird applied technology movement from the 1970s (Green Wizardry) and then going off to live in the woods/a plot of land and await the end.

He pontificates on every subject known to man including history, politics, economics, sociology, philosophy, physics, engineering, climate science, computer science, medicine, and energy and knows nothing about any of them. He also peddles New Age nonsense about medicine and that science is a tapped out method of knowledge that can’t explain everything (read: doesn’t hold to Greer’s belief that stuff like ghosts exist or that naturopathy is just the shit). His theories have never been tested or backed up in any peer reviewed study and he remains a fringe scholar content to go on about a world he believes is fucked.

And yet, for reasons that continue to baffle me, I still see links to him posted in the comment sections on left wing blogs everywhere. Why? He’s a photo-negative version of the Less Wrong crowd who hates modern society and peddles pseudo-everything.

She’s in awe of her faux, and I use the term very loosely, reasoning. She is neither a thinking person nor part of the intelligencia, nor is she en remotely a feminist. I really don’t like pigeon-holing millennialist a as lazy, stupid, entitled, and whatever else, but she is a classic example of this stereotype.

I also note that she gave lots of rationale for not voting, but no solution for the resulting cluster-fuck that is the conclusion of not voting. Quite the narcissist.
