And how exactly would that differentiate them from the Democratic Party? Because rhetoric aside I’m not seeing any substantive differences here.

The irony of course is that Obama is likely guilty of a whole panoply of impeachable crimes beginning–well right at the beginning–where he became an accessory and accomplice to the vast war crimes of the previous administration the moment he chose to ignore the law and “look forward”. In a fair and just world under [...]

The country is in my view in far less peril from 2nd Amendment fundamentalists and assorted far-right wing nuts than it is from pseudo-lefties and phony progressives supporting Obama, the corporate, security state Democratic Party and its extreme right wing agenda disingenuously rebranded as “progressive”. At least the wing nuts are very clear on where [...]

Thusly, we must ask ourselves the proverbial question relative to our being staunch Democrats and members in good standing within the Democratic Coalition , knowing that on some issues we will “win” while on other issues we will “lose.”

Say what? You preggers or is this the royal first person plural? I wouldn’t piss on the Democratic [...]

A similar but slightly different and incisive take–

Only an embarrassment of riches!

Sorry, my bad. One should never introduce an acronym without first spelling it out in full– Democratic Underground, a website. Sheer laziness on my part.

Oh my god, check out this piece of DU (could just as easily be DailyKos) Obamabot boilerplate in the comments–

I Can Feel For The President…. He seems like a very sincere individual that knows what needs to be done and is in the position to do those things – but no matter what he [...]

They needn’t “surrender their country”, merely share it equally with the people who have inhabited it for centuries. I agree with the commenter above, the two state solution is just apartheid codified with borders. It should be considered a dead cause. Israel and Palestine should merge into a single secular democratic state where all citizens [...]

Indeed. For pro-zionists, the terms “anti-semite” has become little more than a vacuous code word to use meaning “STFU, anyone that disagrees with me is garbage” when losing an argument. And pro-zionists lose almost any argument they engage in when they venture outside their little echo chambers so the slur is called on to do [...]

Never heard the term. Where does one go to authoritatively find out what words are OK to use? And calling fellow members here dehumanizing names like “asshole” and “piece of crap” belies a damaged soul.

D’oh, I made the classic affect/effect error I see.

The beauty of a healthy unionized sector–well besides creating productive, tax paying workers who can raise and take care of children and live in some small dignity who will then stimulate the macroeconomy in a ways unimaginable by trickle down or supply side charlatans whoring for billionaires– is that the sector (even the non-unionized fraction) [...]

That brave woman is badass in a way that no person hiding behind the largest state violence apparatus in the history of the world will ever be able to conceive of or understand.

Unions and less formal labor actions take root where wages conditions make the threat of termination less than a terrifying prospect. You kick down hard enough and long enough and those at the bottom have little left to lose and everything to gain. Why the fuck shouldn’t fast food workers make $20 an hour? So [...]

What would make perhaps the Best FDL Diary Ever would be a simple list of all the home addresses of these scum and when they are likely to be there. “I know where you live” is a powerful argument.

Strikes are the obvious nucleation point. Withholding labor, if it is done in a widespread way, hits the oligarchs where they live. Short of widespread armed insurrection–which I’m sorry disaster porn lovers doesn’t appear likely–surely the thing the snake hissing comic book supervillains in their obscene palaces fear the most is a general strike that [...]
