Yeah I don't think the DSA should aim for forming a third party, and I don't think they are. Would take way too long like you said Simon, and time is precious. Tea Party analogy is otm. They've already had an impact on potential candidates w/ Kamala Harris supporting single payer.

Clintonites sniping & dismissing & slandering leftists & Bernie supporters is/was incredibly disgusting to see. True colors

flappy bird, Thursday, 7 September 2017 18:34 (seven years ago)

The DSA exists specifically as a left pressure group, we have a Socialist Party (that, 15 years ago, was about equal in size to the DSA - not sure how it's tracked since then and the DSA has definitely exponentially outpaced it in the last year).

The DSA should remain a pressure group, a leftist big tent. There will never be a viable third party nationally and the goals of a third party locally/regionally can be accomplished inside the Dems.

like Debbie Wasserman Schultz is insanely mediocre as a legislator, likes to advocate for payday loan businesses (one of the most predatory, evil businesses) and was still head of the DNC just because she'd made it there and Obama forgot to fire her

mh, Thursday, 7 September 2017 18:35 (seven years ago)

I mean, look no further than Joy Ann Reid, Joan Walsh, Neera Tanden, Peter Daou, Sady Doyle, & others using "alt-left" before & after the election. And then - just like "Fake News" - their own stupid slur got used against them by Trump.

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 7 September 2017 18:37 (seven years ago)

sorry, xp to myself

DSA as a group nurturing candidates and endorsing them is useful because they have strong policy stances and advocating for candidates that share those values is good.

There are other groups that friends have dealt with that are less policy-based and more invested in teaching people how to run for office, and how to work around established channels that are also ascendant right now. Because the traditional channels are just so stagnant.

Exactly. The main failure of Obama, as far as party politics went, was he didn't want to dirty his hands with them. Ideally he would have gutted the DNC, as is the prerogative of a democrat president. But he had his own effective organization that stayed separate.

Organizing For Action is much less of a presence than I wish it was, but I will give them credit for doing what their name implies. Every email message has had a distinct "this is the issue, here is what's happening, here is who to call/where to vote/what to do" pattern. The most I've gotten from most of the DNC (or the DCCC, which is another tangle I can't unravel) is "this is bad, you should know it's bad."

mh, Thursday, 7 September 2017 18:41 (seven years ago)

A lot of people who enthusiastically voted for Corbyn's programme would self-identify as liberal or liberals without being classical liberals or economic liberals or ostensible 'progressives' with a kind of bourgeois indifference to structural inequalities. Any leftish vision that doesn't have social liberalism (the kind that really matters*) at its heart is useless in modern Britain. This shit matters because social liberalism is currently under attack from *within the left*, by which I don't mean a few twatty Vice journalists or jaunty Twitter Marxists but by the miserable state of our immigration 'debate', including within the Labour Party and the guff coming out from the likes of Paul Mason in recent months. So it does piss me off when I see people using 'liberal' as a reductive pejorative without thinking.

I suppose the old liberal-conservative binary reflected a world where the big economic questions were broadly seen as 'settled' and the dividing political lines were on social issues. Equally useless in a post-financial crisis world, and maybe Clinton found herself on the wrong side of that historical divide.

*Of course we're through the looking glass now where economic liberalism is being dismantled from the right and what's coming will probably be worse, we might be nostalgic for it before too long.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 7 September 2017 Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

It doesn't really matter whether people identify as Liberal or Tory or whatever. By casting a vote for Labour at the last election all these people were voting for a more left-wing programme than we've had in a long-time. Again, that programme would not have been produced by Chuka Umunna or Yvette Cooper. The left vision has the socially liberal and progressive wihtin it to me. Last time I checked I didn't see Paul Mason wholly speaking for the left.

The most grown-up talk from any politician on immigration comes from Diane Abbott, on the left, who has been elevated to a position where she can speak and be listened to on this issue in a way that would not have been possible if Liberals were at the top of Labour. You'd have Jess Philiips instead, who is rn sipping tea in Jacob Rees-Mogg's castle. This castle -- along with Sixtus' crib -- will hopefully be nationalised in the next Labour government.

"I mean, look no further than Joy Ann Reid, Joan Walsh, Neera Tanden, Peter Daou, Sady Doyle, & others using "alt-left" before & after the election. And then - just like "Fake News" - their own stupid slur got used against them by Trump."

I'm not a fan of any of those people but the idea that Trump got "alt-left" from any them is one of them is extremely silly. Hannity was using it all the time. It's open ended term that could obviously mean lots of thing. Also are we calling "fake news" a slur? A lot on the left were maybe overly dismissive of the concept when we know it's a real thing that can at the very least be recognized as a factor in what happened.

Nerdstrom Poindexter, Thursday, 7 September 2017 19:08 (seven years ago)

People were dismissive of the fly by night fake blogs because the articles did not look like real news (that is, vetted traditional media sources) to anyone who understood what a newspaper looks like or actual television reporter sounds like. When Trump and company started using the phrase, it was targeted at the exact opposite: traditional media outlets that he disagreed with.

So yeah, "fake news" as used by Trump is a slur, the actual thing it was referring to prior to him appropriating it as doublethink was completely false crap churned out for clicks or by actual propagandists

mh, Thursday, 7 September 2017 19:14 (seven years ago)

Yeah I get that distinction. My point was taking issue with what I quoted (which disregards that distinction in a nonsensical way and seems to blame democrats for calling out fake news as a problem for why Trump started using it.

Nerdstrom Poindexter, Thursday, 7 September 2017 19:27 (seven years ago)

well in the initial WaPo piece in late November 2016 where they first pushed "Fake News," they included The Intercept as an example. It was a dirty term to begin with.
