2016 Postmortem

Of all the things to crucify Cory over, it wasn't that amendment..

And Cory's donations came from people in the industry - low level clerks, data people, staff, etc. It's not like he got a big cheque , those figures are an aggregate of donations.

As for change, change from the outside is a vital ingredient to keep the elite in check, because activism through protest is important, but folks also need a clue about what happens internally and work the system. If you crash the system, you have to rebuild another to take its place, and someone will come along and find that system fucked up as well and change it etc etc. Regardless, you have to know the tools of power and utilize it to further your agenda. If folks can't understand these basics, we'll get our asses handed to us.

The point of my post though is that you don't smear and drag your allies down, and treat them the same as your opponents. That is self defeating. It is what led to Clinton being compared to Trump and some idiots arguing that she was actually worse.

yes think about.. Look at the horror show of Trump's cabinet picks and consider there are clueless fauxgressives who actually believe HRC would have been the same as Trump.
