@harlemtothebronx I was wondering what Flee was doing on stage! Was at the show in Chicago last night. An absolutely incredible performance. IMO, Benny wasn't on his A game, but that's what makes Griselda so impressive. Sometimes one of your superstars has an off night but everyone else on the...

The man who speaks in only cliches. The man who has no political analysis besides cheap identity politics. The man who makes universal claims about black people but who has rarely offered anything insightful about the complexity of black politics. The man barking for Biden. The man who can’t...

Accuracy For accuracy’s sake, or because, upon waiting for the remaining 3%, either candidate could pick up an additional delegate?

Help me understand the stakes. What is at stake in waiting for the final 3%? Is it about the integrity of a race? Is it that there is a chance that upon counting all the votes, either Pete or Sanders will pick up an additional state delegate or, will possess the same delegates? And what of the...

Nah, bruv. You know I'd @ or quote you directly. I'm not with the passive attacks. It was 1). largely a reaction to Tom Perez and the call for a re-canvas. and 2). directed towards any fellow Sanders supporters and/or folks leaning towards Sanders looking for a way to relate to the numbers game.

Let me get this right... On the one hand, some are quick to remind anyone who'd listen that Clinton won the popular vote. And as such, 45* not only is illegitimate because of foreign election interference, years of racist gerrymandering, and an electoral college system designed, in part, to...

*cue Alonzo Morning gif*

Dope, and well laid out. Thanks

Looking to do the same. You think Arizona’s especially pivotal or is the choice just off proximity to you and your lady?

I thought I’d leave this here since folks are discussing the politics of calling Bloomberg an oligarch. You don’t need to go back to Plato’s Republic or early Athenian prose to answer the question, what is an oligarchy and what counts as an oligarch? Michael Lind writes: “In an...

100. And let's carry the same message to our fathers and brothers, some of whom have and might flirt with a 3rd party candidate.

I've been thinking about this image all day. I take it the 'you' in the caption refers to members of the GOP? I'm not so sure. For the last three years we've been told that 45 will drag down the GOP. We heard that it was in the best interests of the true conservative, the true Republican to...

I appreciate the basic point. I'm reminded of the Mos Def line, "The length of black life is treated with short worth." But, damn, the timing of the message is horrible. And I worse yet, I think it incredibly distasteful to use lives lost as the raw material for your thesis. People are not...

Crushed. Absolutely devastating.

I largely agree with you. Peep the edits to my earlier response to @Mark Antony about the cult of personality as a 20th-21st century phenomena. And at the same time, I see a fundamental difference between online harassment among Sanders supporters and the hardcore of the MAGA crowd who would...

Except that one side wants to lock babies up in cages and create a theocracy. The other side, doesn't want to lock up babies and seeks, uncompromisingly, social democracy. One of these things is not like the others.

Or that of Obama. Or that of Bill Clinton. Edited because the troll of all trolls 'liked' my post. He perhaps did so because he himself is part of the 'cult' . He is perhaps who Living Colour had in mind when they sang, "I tell you one and one makes three." Willing to suspend critical thought...

:lol: Touché.

I agree with your general point about making enemies. This is politics, and everyone has them. But Bernie has a particularly formidable alliance working against him. Those sharpening the knives include portions of: the military industrial complex, global financiers, the 1%, big corporations...

The hit jobs against Sanders have been ongoing, but will ratchet up big time. Last week it was the so-called "feud" between Sanders and Warren. Today, it's an excerpt from a "career politician" with absolutely ZERO self-awareness. All of this is a sign that the Sanders movement--"Not me...
