anywhere you can hear her own words shes enthusiastically encouraging going big and avoid the Obama trap of doing incremental jack shit

naomi klein green new deal climate

So either Trump is right and the Green New Deal is a losing political issue, one he can smear out of existence. Or he is wrong and a candidate who makes the Green New Deal the centerpiece of their platform will take the Democratic primary and then kick Trump’s ass in the general, with a clear democratic mandate to introduce wartime-levels of investment to battle our triple crises from day one. That would very likely inspire the rest of the world to finally follow suit on bold climate policy, giving us all a fighting chance.
Those are the stark options before us. And which outcome we end up with depends on the actions taken by social movements in the next two years. Because these are not questions that will be settled through elections alone. At their core, they are about building political power — enough to change the calculus of what is possible.

a couple days ago this neo-conservative idiot I know starts blabbing about Chomsky
hes discovered his 2016 book requiem

and hes fretting over Chomsky saying "free speech isn't addressed in the constitution or first amendment'

how can he say that?!?!?!

normally I don't pay any attention to the crap this goon comes up with but this time...

so first I looked up the phrase AND Chomsky, and there was nothing
then I pointed out "your video doesn't show Chomsky saying that you know"

its an audio clip over a video your watching and although that's chomskys voice you don't at all know if "he said that" and if he indeed had

there would be pages and pages of responses to it available!!!

got to be careful what you pass along these days,
and EVEN video isn't nearly as trustable as it used to be so

careful who your working for

But let’s be clear. The huge obstacle ahead is not the DNC—it’s the mass media. The corporate-owned and corporate-advertiser-funded media of this country are the biggest barriers between Bernie Sanders and the Oval Office.
Often functioning as propaganda outlets, the major news media serve as an amplification system for corporate power that has long shielded the Democratic Party from the combined “threats” of social movements and progressive populist candidates. The synergies of momentum from the left—outside and inside of electoral arenas—are continuing to accelerate.
It’s crucial that progressives develop more effective challenges to the media serving the predatory big-money system. More than any other force, reflexive spin from corporate media stands between us and a Bernie Sanders presidency.

Right...because the DNC is not "corporate-owned and corporate-advertiser-funded".

You are sleeping....wake up.....

pretty vacuous statement bob

great for those who want to attack Bernie though

why would that be your stance?

Really?...what party official stood up for Bernie when they were defrauding him?

Their actions put Trump in the WH...and you support that.

assuming the partys stand against would have changed things electorally???
