I doubt Trump would be able to successfully impeach Clinton, but if a Trump administration doesn't immediately try to do so, it loses a lot of power. It can't just about-face and assume that White Unity will be strong enough to suppress significant, damaging rural unrest (which is a pretty effective kind of unrest, up there with urban and far surpassing polar tundra). Basically what I'm saying.... is, we need... to, uh, appease....... misogynists.......... uhm...

Amazing piece, you have converted me. I've always been a progressive and ardent supporter of Hillary Clinton. Now, I am going to vote for Trump. I hope all democrats and independents will follow my example and vote for DJT.

It started a bit rough but that's because trying to clean some shit off Trump was always going to be a challenge. The apple burn was cute. Once you get to the real meat of Hillary's atrocities you got a bit more rhythm going. I really liked the connection between her minimum wage positions here and in Haiti. Liberals seem to hand wave her foreign misdeeds away because they happen to people that don't matter, and that's a great link between her crimes abroad and her real intentions at home.

“The job of the progressive movement now is to look forward, not backward,” Sanders said Wednesday in a statement to NBC News. “No matter what Secretary Clinton may have said years ago, behind closed doors, what’s important today is that millions of people stand up and demand that the Democratic Party implement the most progressive platform in the history of our country.”

maybe trump thinks he can co-opt putin into the US sphere of influence and then have him cut off anti-imperialist governments like DPRK, Iran, Cuba and Venezuela.

they get this little flicker in their eye, and then they accuse you of supporting sexual assault

apropos of nothing, but i was reading "left-wing communism: an infantile disorder", which i always thought was a polemic against anarchism and the desire for communism without the dictatorship of the proletariat but it really makes all the same arguments as i was doing during the bernie campaign and all of you were deriding me. i'm just happy i arrived at the same conclusion as lenin independently.
were i so inclined, i could probably find quotes of mine and his that make the exact same arguments.

come on man, wouldn't you rather have an intellectual conversation where we each posit our points, argue them, and come to a more correct synthesis?

potentially sure. that's not what i'm trying to do, i just believe that an error in the general line of the rhizzone was made, and i would like to try to correct it. lenin repeatedly makes the point that errors should be minimized by careful analysis after the fact. i should take this to a more appropriate thread. good job following the communists in germany who supported hitler. I suppose it did end well for the few german communists that survived till the red army liberated them.

red canadian youre alright with me but itd really take a very very long effort post to even get me to consider the possibility that lenin would think you have to vote for bernie sanders to bring about communism. actually i still dont think id consider that possibility but i am sort of curious where youre getting that from

well for starters, lenin's argument is that the communists should participate in bourgeois governments and trade unions as a, y'know, communist party so they can form compromises with the left wing of reactionary social democratic parties, see his note on hungary in 1919. and even that strategy is premised on lenin's argument that such a left wing exists in significant organizational strength as it did in the social democratic parties of europe at the time, so you're already assuming that bernie sanders' campaign represents such a left wing instead of a funneling of populist rage, rage with no corresponding representation in the legislative party, into support for that legislative party and for hillary clinton, which is what it actually was and did

drawing the curtain of charity here RC i'm gonna assume you may not understand the nature of the party system in the united states vs. the westminster system, here there is no such thing as a motion of no confidence let alone an automatic trigger for one and so things like nominating shadow cabinets appear about as sane as believing the greys did 9/11
