The irony of multi-millonaries talking about the wage gap in this country, especially 3 house Bernie and that fat guy.  Bet you that there was no mention of POC struggle during this circus among those 3 white populists.


POC are going to revolt if they see these two wackos be selected for the Democratic ticket.

Right above you.

Too be fair this post is so bad it merits inclusion twice.

Well, now that it's over I can honestly say that it's time to get behind Lipinski, if only to show the rest of the Country that we in the state of Illinois overwhelmingly hate Illinois Nazis.

Thank you for this very mature statement. It is everyone's job to push back against neo-nazis.

It's too late. The guy already got 12,000 votes. It's the biggest show of support for Nazism in American history. And if he loses in a landslide in November, he'll just point to Le Pen's loss in 2002 and reassert that history is on his side.

Most of those people probably were not aware of that, especially with only one candidate. Despite the numbers, we should always push back against neo-nazis.

I'm a bit late to the thread, as I just recently got off work and then had had to do a system restore thanks to Microsoft....

So from what I gather we had a Conservative Democratic that is Anti-Choice win in a heavily Democratic district in Chicago and the immediate suburban areas against a Progressive and Pro-Choice Dem?

The part that I might well be missing here is where is Lipinski's record or history as a Neo-Nazi or European style Fascist?

I don't take this lightly, considering that my Sister is Jewish and in my younger years a few decades back participated in various "Antifa" style demonstrations against the Nazi scum trying to take over our neighborhoods in the Pacific Northwest as well as the Industrial States of the Midwest, and a few years after getting out of College in the Midwest came back to my small Oregon Town and within a year a Native American Homeless man was murdered by two White Supremacists barely a year out of the State Pen....

Hey---- I would rather the Progressive Dem have won this race, but anyone accusing a Polish-American of being a Nazi sounds a bit off in my book...

But since I was late to the Party and most of the thread appears to have been various arguments regarding Abortion and the like and various hyperbole between several different Atlas factions instead of maybe some awesome precinct and ward maps for this primary compared and contrasted against '16 and '08 DEM PRES PRIM results, not to mention statewide Primary elections maybe matched up with Socio-Demographic Maps of CD-03, etc....

Alas, I left this thread feeling emptier than I did before I started reading, and no hard feelings to anyone involved in the passion of the moment....

So Lipinsky will likely limp along until 2020 where he loses with a higher Primary turnout and still votes overwhelmingly with the Dems in the 'House on in the interim on virtually all significant issues.

I recall writing a 300 College Level History 15 Page paper back in the early '90s about changing and comparative voting habits in Chicago between 1848 and 1860 as various Ethnic Europeans moved into the cities in large numbers when it was the fastest growing town in America.

Chicago is one of those cities where Ethnic Politics still play heavy, especially in a Democratic Primary.

Fine... the US House doesn't determine Reproductive Rights nor Marriage Equality, and let's say the House flips in 2018, this guy will likely be on the same train as most Dems.

 Progressives move on, nothing to see here and there's another election down in the line in a Safe Dem district.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Honestly if Lipinski wins at least I won't get the read a weeks worth of screaming over how all Dems must agree on social issues. I don't want populists out of the party.

Is Lipinski really a populist? Is Newman an elitist?

Newman is clearly the SJW/Clintonian candidate.

calling opponents of aboriton "anti-choice" is dumb but otherwise I don't see how this is a bad post.

Because it's talking about people calling Lipinski a Nazi when that very clearly was about his Republican opponent. No one actually called Lipinski a Nazi.

No. Jesus Christ likely never existed even as a human and even if he did he was certainly not the "son of God".

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Oh my God this is SOOOOO dumb.

This is interesting.

Also a question - are non natives living in tribal land under tribal jurisdiction?

Lack of precedent. Non-natives can’t live on reservations.

I ACTUALLY LIVED ON A RESERVATION FOR NINE YEARS HOW CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING SO OBVIOUSLY WRONG

What a little brownshirt. The kid is gonna crack when Family Guy or South Park takes their swing at him.

Like FAMILY GUY will attack someone progressive.

Well, fwiw, the only Democrats I ever remember seriously arguing that nonsense were Non-Swing Voter (who turned to Libertarianism lol) and a dingus who wrote a Politico article in December 2016 imploring Democrats to abandon he Midwest in favor of greener pastures in Texas, Arizona and Georgia. Of course, Dems should target the latter two states, but anyone who argues the Midwest is a lost cause for either party is a buffoon. Now, I’ve heard plenty of people describe Ohio and Iowa as Leans or likely R states and advocating for ignoring them Presidentially, but that’s much different than “abandoning the Rust Belt”

A lot of mucky mucks within the party who are directly interested in party resources moving South are quietly making the argument. And one can view the Obama/Trump vs Rising American Electorate arguments (ESPECIALLY the people who draw a strong dichotomy between those two choices as the only options) as a proxy argument for abandoning the industrial midwest to go to the sunbelt and vice versa.

They already have abandoned the midwest by giving priority to anti-gun/anti-cop measures as well as other miscellaneous SJW objectives that do nothing but make Sunbelt billionaires feel better about supporting the Democratic party. All this being done while leaving behind card-check and the public option. The Dems cannot operate as GOP-lite with the added bonus of Planned Parenthood.

Just look at how Dems spit on the face of workers by not supporting coal as well as opposing steel tariffs.

I love how all the people who said Franken shouldn’t resign are now telling Esty to resign over this. Really shows the double standard that Atlas has.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

If the Dems hold their convention in San Francisco or Atlanta, that would be the equivalent of the GOP holding it in Moscow.

If McConnell supports it, it's probably a bad thing.

Who says she'll win? You guys are forgetting the power of sexism.

Why would a member of the Democratic Party support old white guys for president is beyond me.

It's over for the DFL. Many Minnesotans have great memories of T-Paw and will happily vote for him. Say goodbye to MN-01 and MN-08 while we're at it. Blue wave is officially dead in this state.

MI, PA, WI, MN, IL tilt D and will be going to the Democratic nominee.

1) It's no coincidence that Harris was the first 2020 hopeful to be attacked and smeared by the alt-left. Obviously they think she is the biggest threat to their dear leader.

2) People who bemoan the role of money in politics, yet did everything in their power to prevent Clinton from winning in 2016, please shut the hell up. You have about as much credibility as Roy Moore talking about Christian values.

Bernard grew up in a white bubble. No POC was on his congressional staff, and the Vermont NAACP has never received feedback from the senator. Meanwhile, Vermont has the highest black incarnation rates in the country and Bernard doesn't lift his waving finger to help activate change in his state government. For all the civil right activism in his youth he decides it was best to move from a sizable minority population in New York to the whitest state in the nation.  Should it come to a surprise to non-cultists that Bernie has racial prejudices towards POC?

Heh, my church has talked about and condemned police shootings, frequently talks about issues of violence in black communities, and condemns Trump a lot and we still don't have any black members.

Hard to find black people in Minnesota

Hey man, it's 6.2% black. Maybe you live in the one area of MN where there are actually black people, but those rural areas are like 97% white.

And there's a black mayor in Helena Montana, but that doesn't mean Montana has many black people...

"The one part"...yeah the part that's by far the most populated, yes.

The black population of Minnesota is comparable to the black population of Washington DC in raw numbers.

This flame war about the number of blacks in Minnesota is absurd. And more to the point, is that BRTD was talking about his church, which I suspect either is in an integrated neighborhood, and/or quite near a black neighborhood, yet has no blacks in it despite being progressive on race and other matters. That was his point, and only point, and yet off the conversation went into the abyss.

Sounds like a typical BRTD "Seagull" maneuver once again...

His only contributions on Atlas these days, as a pale former shadow of his former glories, is once again to post crap against "Old Atlas" posters in order to feed his ego by re-posting on AAD about how reprehensible "Old Atlas" is....

BRTD is a sharp dude and has many valuable opinions to offer on a wide variety of topics, but once again his whole deal is apparently to make every single conversation about him, as opposed to some of the more insightful and detailed analysis that he used to provide as recently as 2-4 years back on "Old Atlas".

Got no time, attention, nor the desire, to focus posts simply based upon the hubris and ego of one individual poster on Atlas, that lacks the desire, will, nor intellectual capabilities to discuss nor debate critical political, social, economic, nor foreign policy issues of the Modern Times in which we all currently reside.

Re, did you read context at all? Torie is basically correct in the summary.

The post wasn't a major point but someone replied to it saying that there's basically no blacks in Minnesota at all, an absurd statement. And then everyone missed my point by talking about how other places have a higher black population than Minnesota which does not disprove the thesis. "This place has a higher black population than Minnesota" does not mean that Minnesota has a near neglible black population. And then the red herring if how Minnesota has a lot of lily white rural counties....because that's not the part I'm talking about.

Trump's change in approval in one week in 5 recent polls.

Rasmussen: +4
Yougov: +5
Morning Consult: +3
Gallup: +3
Quinnipiac: +2

Clear tariff bump. Dems need to reconsider their hatred of the Rust Belt immediately.

There is already a surplus of concern trolls here, FFS.

Speaking facts about Dem collapse=Concern trolling.
"Permanent Dem Majority/The Sunbelt Billionaires will save us/White Men are Over"= Acceptable.

Atlas logic.

Context:

I wish he'd go away.

He tried to ride on the Trump Train after he sabotaged Clinton and after his ass got fired he has been trying his latest facade as a warrior for the #Resistance.

Loser.

I see nothing false about this.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Aside of the whole "should/shouldn't intervene" silliness in said thread, he's not really wrong.

Assuming, as some likes to believe (and I myself wouldn't rule such possibility out), Trump wanted to accommodate Russia as much as possible, he can't do it precisely to avoid "I'm a Putin puppet" stigma. In other words, he's got to be "more Catholic than the Pope."

In a way, Putin really f**ked himself with his meddling. Had Hillary won, she would be reasonably pissed for his efforts to sabotage her. Having Trump winning did little for him as well.

Trump indicated he wanted to veto the most recent Russia sanctions bill. He only didn't because the vote in favor was overwhelmingly able to override a veto.
