I spent a bit of time on the political compass website making this little graph. Perhaps it could use a bit more information, but I feel this point stands.
Hi all. Just a little reminder that we have C99 members who create and/or sell a variety of items, many of which would make wonderful gifts. And who wouldn't want to send a few dollars to progressive small businesses rather than the big box stores or Amazon?
I don't get this continued attraction to the Democratic party by some on the left. Then again I do, it's like a cult, cults are hard to leave. Notice I didn't say, "the" left? I saw that in a Salon article posted here at C99 earlier where the author generalized that the left was the democratic party and vice versa. Time to end that bullshit.

The fatal flaw with this economic model is that after enough time, the people are broke and can no longer provide for the 1%. How dumb are we? I'll be better able to answer after Tuesday's election here in Alabama. They've got the propaganda machines running on high in anticipation. Do you think the Israeli embassy move is a distraction to insure passage of the tax scam? I wouldn't be surprised. Despite everyone's sense that T-rump is an idiot, I wonder how such a supposed dumb ass can yank the chain of almost every news outlet in the US at any moment. As Chris Hedges often says, things are not broken, they are going as planned for the 1%. Sadly, we think we live in a democracy when it is really corporate feudalism.

Real cold day when Republicans might save us.
Who cares, but #taxscam has dropped below News.Google front page. However many are still on the edge of their seats working for the damn thing to die.
Others are occupying offices and being arrested.
The other day when i was reading about this #metoo crusade and how its been turned into such a farce by a lot of opportunistic people, I started to wonder why hasn’t someone tried to use it to nail the DNC’s and Dim’s most hated member. I thought maybe the Clinton Creature could have someone cook up another ‘Dossier’ or something and Obama could kick in a million (or two now that he’s out-grifting the Clinton grifters) to help pay for one better than the last one they bought.
Hey, DMW here, inviting one and all to the 4th randomly scheduled PDX meetup.

In his analysis about the use of nuclear weapons Big Al asked How do we overcome insanity?. As everybody here knows, it will not be through reform of the Democratic party. From Salon:
