K4S Repents!

Not one, but two pieces today at the Kossacks for Sanders subreddit announce a change in tone after their change in tone.

We f*cked up. Let's repair the damage. https://www.reddit.com/r/Kossacks_for_Sanders/comments/4x93k1/we_fcked_u...

New Policy For Kossacks for Sanders
https://www.reddit.com/r/Kossacks_for_Sanders/comments/4x8mh7/new_policy...

The new policy declared by Angry_Architect is as follows:
Post interesting material.
Make insightful comments.
Be nice to each other.
Chill out.
Bern on.
After looking at the rules I wondered if Bill and Ted had become moderators. I'm glad I didn't write the site off after hearing that they'd turned to the dark side. Otherwise, I'd have missed this gem:
I'm Not With Her Because I'm Petty
http://www.theroot.com/articles/culture/2016/07/im-not-with-her-because-...

As always, YMMV.
Be excellent to each other! And party on, dudes!

Still not a Reddit guy, and am much more comfortable over here, but it's good to see people can learn from their miss-steps.

No, if really pushed in front of the right target audience, Hillary will sometimes admit that destructive actions/positions she'd defended for years were 'mistakes'/'errors' and she's admitted, under pressure, in front of the right target audience, to a fair number of various 'mistakes', many of which have made the Clintons and their multi-billion-dollar Foundation very, very rich, killed and dispossessed a lot of people and involved a lot of messing with other people's countries, politics, resources, environments and entire governments.

She never learns from her continual and and often deadly-to-others 'mistakes', but that means that she's not a deliberate criminal (just a chronically 'mistaken' one with a bad memory) and fortunately, she can continue to cite the Bush Admin as setting precedent for her actions, since Bush made an awful lot of 'mistakes' - and never was capable of learning, either.

As we all know, she promoted Bush's TPP and other corporate coups along with fracking, moving toward a 'limited' nuclear war with Russia and China, since her most determined 'mistakes' seem to include global destruction of life on the planet for extreme corporate/billionaire gain of 'it all' (essentially, the corpse to pick over) at some point in the near future, seemingly under the impression that this will complete after she's dead...

At the moment, it seems to be expedient for her to suddenly claim that she opposes the TPP, making me wonder if it's already been pushed through in secrecy. She did suddenly oppose Fast-Tracking it, when it was too late, so this is seems to be her MO, as an accomplished liar.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

... we can get K4S back in the links section along with wayofthebern?

I'm not rushing back. The pattern is just way too familiar. Wait and see.

writer really isn't being petty by not voting Clinton. His reasons are solid and his writing style is a hoot. The link leads directly to the article and not to the K4S subreddit.

powerful writing indeed. The ending is well worth the entire read.

Also, I'm still trying to get my head around why older PoC still voted Clinton, with all they'd been through during the civil rights era. Don't New Democrats look just a little like pre-64 Old Democrats?

Glad to see K4S regain their senses. The Left needs to ally more, especially now.

MO is a nasty piece of work. Some of her mods were nasty pieces of work too, and it's no wonder the subreddit landed in the toilet with them in charge.

Don't be fooled - the underlying problems haven't changed.

I wondered about the whole "let's go back to the way we were when we were small and obscure" thing. Sounded like a good way to be... small and obscure!
