KosowL is his own snowflake.
Did the fistballs have a tournament tonight? Oh my stars!
The greatest void in my understanding of history was my failure to appreciate the extent to which Whig historiography wasn’t just a historian’s mistake; it was a political movement.
Memory war.

Sneaky historians have been planning a revolution all this time, and the scientists never caught on. Typical.
I am not saying that any individual historian planned anything. But the profession of historians, as a whole, possesses a psyche that is greater than the sum of its parts.
That psyche was prepared for this; there was always an American socialist revolution waiting in the wings. But it was held in reserve, in case of emergency, because it was obvious that the risk was immense. It wasn’t worth it unless the worst-case scenario occurred.
But then it did.
Looking at the situation today, I am astonished at the courage and organisation of the left. Holy shit, these kids are good. Bush-era Occupy provided the cadre, Bernie mobilised them, the DNC radicalised them, and Trump stirred them to action.
The right have no idea how much of a sleeping giant they have awoken.
The healthcare fight is in some ways trivial: whatever healthcare America ends up with, it won’t be either Obamacare or the GOP “plan”.
But it’s also essential: it’s the one issue that awoke the middle class.
Two stories that make Trump look good if he can claim success in the emergency response (reality has nothing to do with that), one story on a social side issue to buy Liberal credibility, one story that highlights Obama largesse to the mudbloods. With a big picture of Barack’s black face bang in the middle.
Glenn Thrush is pulling the same shit. Who owns the Times?
Amanda Marcotte sees it:
Sonuvabitch, this is Reifenstahl-grade:
Dammit, the entire NYT is all-in for Trump. Gotta be a top-down bias.
Who’s been near a street march lately? Was there much BLM presence, or just DSA etc?
I definitely feel mobilized by Bernie. His push for candidates who don’t support abortion to be get Democratic part money has me enraged. Time for new blood, and I will go a long way to support any candidate who will stand up to both Bernie and the DNC for incorporating his fucking stupid position on abortion.
We need to go hard left: abortion, for all, federally funded. People are looking for strong progressivism, not mealy-mouthed selling out of women. I go to a local progressives meetup every week to write postcards and make calls. Every person there is a woman, and every person there is ready to burn Bernie and the DNC to the damn ground over this.
Glad to hear it.
The DNC is history, and Bernie is about to retire. The new American leadership looks to be coming from the DSA and BLM.
CNN’s on Team Trump as well. Fuckers are even trying to slander Bill Nye. Trying to preemptively neutralise high-profile voices of reason with pull amongst Liberals.
EDIT: retract, unsure about CNN.
