Bernie backers' attacks on Democrats infuriate the party
http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/08/bernie-backers-attacks-infuriate-democrats-242386Not sure if this is here yet or not
But its not just the outside agitators that Democratic lawmakers, operatives and activists are annoyed with: Theyre tired of what they see as the Vermont senators hesitance to confront his own backers, either in public or through back channels.
Tensions boiled over recently when a handful of Sanders loyalists bashed freshman Sen. Kamala Harris a rising star in the party and potential 2020 hopeful as an establishment tool. Democrats were also rankled that other prominent Sanders allies said support for single-payer health care should be a litmus test for candidates.
I want to write this screenplay, and I thought I would throw the idea out here
Scene: In a very powerful country (this is fiction, let's call the country "Kirillion" ) a very popular "populist" divides one of two political parties allowing for the "bad guys" party to retain and even increase power.
What would I call it? Any title ideas?
Mind you, this is fiction, I am NOT alleging any person in real life fits this description. This is merely an idea for a screenplay.
I thought showing the aftermath of a Nazi styled party solidifying control in the most powerful nation on earth, would be where most of the story could be.
It will be a heavy drama, but think about it: gay people rounded up for being gay, black people same, Muslim's as well. Education reduced to for profit religious idiocy. Every citizen on edge every minute in fear of nuclear war and being at the mercy of corporations with zero regulations as to environment, employment, etc.
The eventual ultimate chaos in the streets, would make for a GREAT movie, dont you think?
Equally interesting is seeing worldwide who gains when Democracy loses. I really think this would make a great FICTIONAL movie. Might have to be one of those with intermissions, could be 3 hours easy.
Who wants to help me write it?
Funniest scene in movie history.
Sooooooooooooo many , right?
I always think of this one, though
An apology is in order.
To all non white str8t Christian males, this nation owes you a deep, sincere apology.
We apologize that you fought, became wounded, and in some cases died for our country, only to now be treated like shit.
We apologize that in times of distress, whether that be natural disasters or foreign enemies, you are often the very first to respond, only to now be treated like shit.
We apologize that you fought for your and OTHERS rights your entire lives, sacrificing like few others ever will, only to now be treated like shit.
I wish there was something we, who owe you the apology, could do to fix the nightmare you now live in. I really do.
If Kamala doesnt support single payer, some of you wont support her?
I read a comment that she now supports this and therefore will get this person's support.
I would be curious to know who here would likely not be wiling to support her if she doesnt sign on to this bill that will NOT become law for at least 2 years and likely more. I guess she says she supports it now, what happens when it fails and is brought up again and she doesnt support it, possibly?
Are there other "lines in the sand?"
America almost elected, willingly, an admitted sexual assaulter who was also accused
of forcing himself on many women. Does there have to be penetration for it to be rape?
I dont have enough time to list all the things he also is, admitted to or clearly demonstrated in behavour.
But even though he lost the election, he came way too close for a society that alleges to be decent.
Decent my ass. He bragged about grabbing THEIR wives and daughters by the genitals and they voted for him anyway.
Sick.
Triumph The Insult Comic Dog covers the inauguration
http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/see-triumph-the-insult-comic-dog-scorch-trumps-inauguration-w462702So I hear the Democratic Party "panders" to Wall Street!
Not sure what that means, but I do know that our entire economy is based, one way or another on capitalism, and our version of capitalism is headquartered on Wall Street.
The Democratic Party works with Wall Street because not to do so would be suicide and ignoring how we exist.
Do I like corporations and Wall Street? Nope, I would abolish both if I had the power, but I dont.
Do I want the Nordic version of life including guaranteed incomes and national healthcare? Yep.
But not gonna happen right now so here is my suggestion, why not work within the actual framework we have, strive toward a better tomorrow, and oh, I dont know, stop the GOD DAMN NAZI'S at the same time?
eh?
The hurricane and suggestions of taking your photo albums because they are
irreplaceable made me wonder:
"If Donald Trump had to leave everything he owns behind, what one or two things would he cherish so much he would save them?"
Surely not pictures of his family. What would it be?
