Was a topic covered in Crashing the Gates. I went back and read that section this morning. At the time Kos/Jerome discouraged the emphasis on groups and issues, feeling they had all failed to gain ground since the 80's or so, dividing and distracting from larger partisan interests and goals. That was when people powered politics were a thing for Kos, for GOS. Now? Not so much. And we all know well which groups and issues Kos still disrespects and disdains. Racial issues, particularly African American issues, do have his favor though, apparently the more divisive rather than results oriented the better in his view. So I do question his sincerity in that interest, and wonder if it mostly about the popularity, outrage and clicks. Armando, on the other hand, I do believe has sincere interest in the issue and has since the beginning, even if he still is the biggest asshole on the internet, heh.

It would be great if something beneficial came out of all the energy expended on racial politics at GOS. As with the I/P and other religion oriented debates there over the years, instead it seems mostly to provoke and wound the participants - all participants involved. It is simply a bad environment, that blog, to resolve any kind of problems. That's what I think after being a regular there for over 10 yrs and then walking away from it for a good while.

For those of you still in the thick of it there, please don't let it eat you up or bring you down. It ain't worth it!

Ok, that's all I got for now. One happy bit of news, I picked my first home grown organic casaba melon today! Yummy!

in being disingenuous, illogical, contradicting himself and his former self, and being a bully. Talk about assholes. To top it off he never even referenced his obnoxious hit piece. If #BLM is the number one 'issue' instead of the horse race he loves do much why doesn't he go after the Democratic perpetrators like the disgraceful DoJ and Holder/Lynch. Then there are the prison's and deportation camps for profit, privatizing education turning schools into freaking punishment centers, cutting food stamps, the safety net and reforming 'welfare queens' not to mention arming the pigs with military grade weaponry and refusing to give us back our rights civil and human cause they are tools they need to fight their mad illegal war on terra.

Identity politics that tell you the very people who mean you and yours harm including people of color, are who you should identify with and support unquestionably is creepy and a freaking lie. My 'CT ' theory is that he is being made redundant by the dissatisfaction and growing populism that isn't about party or identity but about the by-partisan freaking authoritarian, lawless, undemocratic hell hole this country is becoming. It's not inevitable nothing is especially politics. If the polls of mass deception tell him Most Likely Democratic voter love Hillary why then it means old white dudes are driving Bernie's disruptive campaign and out of hand supporters.

My favorite was his twisty explanation of Crashing the Gates and how just like with Obama we didn't read it right or listen properly. Guess Bernie's didn't feel #BLM's pain enough like Big Dog did as he turned the knife in all our backs and called it inevitable and a NWO. Then he has the nerve to talk about 'tone'. Hey assholes STFU and be a lemming because Hillary is going to win and implement some more of the same isn't any 'tone' that's going to help poc or anyone's pain. Maybe he ought to consider the source of where the pain inflicted is coming from? Killing black people with impunity needs to be addressed by the Feds, the DoJ and our long gone rule of law. I bought his book and read it. I'm thinking of mailing it back to him and demanding a refund. I'd also like a refund on all the money local and national I have poured into the coffers of dirty bent pols who refuse to represent or fight for 'we the people'. At this point I need to to fix my roof and get an electrician as I'm stone broke because of the austerity war on workers economy.

The Democrat's with power we elected are missing in action on this appalling war on black people on every level, city state and federal. They sicced the goon squads with no restraints and even Bernie has the nerve to tell me most police are good people. Law and order minus the law. How about black sub-African people's lives Hillary and Susan? Don't their lives matter? I also think he is 'low information' as all he seems to bother with is his tea reading of the polls and his obsession with 'demographics' that match his own sick vision of what public opinion should look like. So keep catapulting the fear on the FP, and pump the double speaking lying D pols policies and agenda, that will get some informed voters to turn out for Hillary the Hun. The queen of outsourcing who once said she would have no problem being elected mayor of Punjab, India. Jeeze how stupid does kos think people are. He's the wanker of the day everyday.
