8 reasons for the left to continue working within the Democratic party
Submitted by subir on Fri, 07/29/2016 - 11:30amNo surprise, I’m deeply disappointed Bernie did not win the nomination. I’m also disappointed by the convention which in some ways overtly sidelined the left to appeal to “moderate Republicans”. Tacking to the center is a quite standard strategy when primaries are over. Hillary would not be the first or the last candidate to do it. Back in March, I said it may not be the best strategy for this cycle, since Trump jumps about all over the place on the ideological spectrum. I haven’t seen anything yet that changes my views on the matter.

An incoming swarm, coming to a television near you.
Submitted by martianexpatriate on Fri, 07/29/2016 - 9:49amWell, sometimes I like to let people know of when a good movie coming up. This morning I'd like to let everyone know that one of the worst disaster movies ever made will be on at 8pm on TCM in Mountain Standard Time. I could also say they are airing one of the biggest movie disasters of all time. It works either way.
Here we see Michael Caine take out his rage at being cast in this movie on poor Richard Wydmark.
She's Only Been The Nominee For Less Than A Day And Here's The Right Pivot
Submitted by Phoebe Loosinhouse on Fri, 07/29/2016 - 9:47amIn fact the pivot occurred for all to see right in the Democratic convention. Gee, wonder how that "most progressive platform in the history of the world" will make out.

Loincloths for the Oligarchy
Submitted by Anja Geitz on Fri, 07/29/2016 - 9:12amIt comes to me at moments when the anger begins to reach a tipping point. Election "irregularities", Media Collusion, Federal Appointments to Donors. The Lies, The Hubris, The Corruption, and the impunity with which they do all these things
A fantasy of revenge against those who have acted in bad faith and have suborned our democracy. This would include donors, the media, the DNC, the campaign, and the candidate.
