marriage is honest and fulfilling like 3% of the time in the US and the only reason polyamory is underutilized is because we live in a patriarchal culture where having honest and open relationships is shameful

this is only 51% of the equation. the remainder is really-existing polyamorous people

the thing about polyamory is that there's nothing inherently wrong with it and it might even be attractive if you didn't know a lot about it. it's like if you went into gay rights with a warm heart and open mind until you found out that improbably enough literally 100% of gay people are drug addicted child molesters

The point of view of the minority is dogmatic instead of critical, idealistic instead of materialistic. They regard not the real conditions but a mere effort of will as the driving force of the revolution. Whereas we say to the workers: ‘You will have to go through 15, 20, 50 years of civil wars and national struggles not only to bring about a change in society but also to change yourselves, and prepare yourselves for the exercise of political power’, you say on the contrary: ‘Either we seize power at once, or else we might as well just take to our beds.’ Whereas we are at pains to show the German workers in particular how rudimentary the development of the German proletariat is, you appeal to the patriotic feelings and the class prejudice of the German artisans, flattering them in the grossest way possible, and this is a more popular method, of course. Just as the word ‘people’ has been given an aura of sanctity by the democrats, so you have done the same for the word ‘proletariat’. Like the democrats you substitute the catchword of revolution for revolutionary development

I think more about the goon with the four year old who has been raiding the continental breakfast at the Ramada across the overpass for two months, and whose wife lost another semester at community college, and who sold their grandma's heirloom china for half the value over Craigslist, because they put like four months' pay into the Sanders campaign, so when Sanders gives up, they see red, get online and start thinking like "That's it, now I'm REALLY getting involved," and the first thing they see is like, a teacher's union is planning a demonstration and they think, "ah, a protest! I have all these smoke bombs, super glue, and a Maverick dart stockpile that my landlord has referred to as 'unacceptable'." and more generally will cause problem, via what the writer of Achewood might refer to as Behaviors

in my province if you give, for example, $100 to a political party, the government refunds $75 of it, so in that situation it makes some sense. like if there were an ontario syriza promising to bring us the prosperity of greece, yeah i'd donate to them.

“Many of the young people here today are on the front lines of the battle to oppose the alarming Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement known as BDS,” Clinton said. “Particularly at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise across the world, especially in Europe, we must repudiate all efforts to malign, isolate, and undermine Israel and the Jewish people. I have been sounding the alarm for a while now. As I wrote last year in a letter to the heads of major American Jewish organizations, we have to be united in fighting back against BDS.”

I know you guys aren't fans of my posting here, and I do understand, and have reduced my support of bernie correspondingly. However, I figured you guys might get a kick out of this.

And he repeated the Arab lies about how Israel stealing Arab water: “Inadequate water supply has contributed to the degradation and desertification of Palestinian land. A lasting peace will have to recognize Palestinians are entitled to control their own lives, and there is nothing human life needs more than water.”

It stings worse when you hear it from a fellow Jew. We’re no fans of Hillary Clinton, but the Utah speech should also be the Jewish nail in Sanders presidential coffin.


And the finale haha

Bernie Sanders has abandoned all pretense of being a friend of Israel, never mind his declarations of friendship. In a calculated, cynical move, he has associated himself with the worst anti-Semitic forces in the US today. Compared with Students for a Free Palestine (SFP), the thugs who today are making life hell for Jews across America’s campuses, David Duke and the KKK are polite. And, make no mistake about it, SFP and the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) are Bernie Sanders’ ideological partners this election.

Bernie Sanders is now officially an enemy of the Jewish State.

i saw LF twitter was really giving it to bernie for his i/p speech so i guess it's all about expectations. if you consider that he's a halfway viable presidential candidate then it was a singularly good speech; if you're expecting something better or you don't think he's worth people on the left's support, you'll find ammunition for that position as well. i will admit that ill vote for bernie - probably the only time ever a dem candidate wont cross my red line of too abhorrent to validate the system by voting for - but he's already lost
