The rise of the faux Socialists.



"Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny,
And in this judgement there is no partiality.
So arm in arms, with arms, we'll fight this little struggle,

'Cause that's the only way we can overcome our little trouble." ~Zimbabwe~ Bob Marley

Progressives and faux Socialists have been chirping a lot about Barack Obama's declaration that the defund the police slogan was a bad idea. Well, I hate to break it to them, but Obama was right.

No one in their right mind would think that defunding the police, or even saying it in such a manner would appeal to the general public. Most people view that as a cry to get rid of the police altogether, and that is the last thing that people living in crime- ridden neighborhoods in cities like Philadelphia want to do.

 I, for one, am tired of these so called progressive left wingers and "woke" people who sit behind their ivory tower desks and in their air conditioned television studios, and then pontificate to us about how good Socialism and progressive policies are. (I see you Mark Lamont Hill and AOC)  It's offensive.  I was teaching in rural Jamaica as a part of Michael Manley’s National Youth Service program before some of them were even born. My Socialist bona fides is quite strong. I know a thing or two about Socialism, as I have lived it and studied it for a great part of my life.

 Honestly, I consider myself more of a Socialist than anything else, because I happen to think that Socialism, in its purest form, is the best type of government for the majority of the people in the world. But I am also a realist, and I understand that you will never win elections in this country by being too far to what most Americans consider the left. The way you win the ideological battle is at the ballot box, and in order to do that you have to be smart politically. This means appealing to moderates in the middle and energizing your own base.

The faux Socialist out here calling for radical change know that it can’t be achieved in the voting process, And, let's keep it real, they damn sure aren’t going to take to the streets to start a revolution. That would mean having to give up their cushy lifestyles and making real sacrifices. 

The only alternative is to win elections and effectuate change by implementing policies that are closer to our socialist principles without the scary catch phrases. And the only way we are going to do that is to be smart enough to get more votes than the other side. 

To use a football and sports analogy: Don't give the other side bulletin board material to use against you. Be smart about what you are trying to do and how you are going to get there. 

Remember, there are more than one ways to skin a cat. Or, for that matter,  a turtle.         

"To divide and rule could only tear us apart;
In everyman chest, mm - there beats a heart.
So soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionaries;
And I don't want my people to be tricked by mercenaries." 

No mercenaries needed brother Bob. They are easily fooled by just about anything.

Obama was right that you can dampen your own chances at enacting your own policies by being politically stupid.
People can be persuaded, but that takes time, and the police brutality situation seems more immediate than that.
And in a way of thinking it is. Police should stop murdering and abusing people, full stop.
But all of the great civil rights advances we now take for granted were the result of long struggles against the same sort of immediate issues as police brutality, and police brutality and criminality is a complex issue with a minefield of pitfalls and obstacles for those who would address it.
Also, whatever you call it, Republicans will attack it because that's just what they do, so getting too attached to one label is never a good bet with them. They are more adept at propaganda than we are, so we have to win with actual policy and values, and by the numbers, we do that.
But as I said, it takes time, even when it feels like we don't have time, and a case can certainly be made that Breonna Taylor doesn't have any time to persuade people that murdering her was wrong.
But if we don't want any more people to be murdered by police, we have to get beyond indulging our feelings of outrage and do what it effective, and sometimes that is less than immediately satisfying.

He is likely to be the most indicted, tried and convicted POS ever in American history. And those are his best points.

Field, thank you for your comments tonight. As an old-time, political junkie, I agree with you one-hundred percent. Many people, especially Democratic leaders do not understand the power of words. When I first heard the "Defund the police" slogan, I nearly had a panic attack. I knew it would be awful for our side and I was right.

Anonymous said...

"Defund the police" is bad in two ways.

1) As a slogan, it sucks. Large numbers of people just think it means the same as "abolish the police," an agenda virtually nobody is on board with. And Republicans will encourage this incorrect interpretation in order to drive votes away from Democrats.

2) Even taken as its promoters intend it to be understood, the policy is a political non-starter. The whole idea behind it is that you can take part of the money away from policing and invest it in education, business development, the social safety net, mental health treatment, and drug rehab, and crime will go down. In a nutshell, the idea is that compassion is a better crime-reducer than punishment.

While that may well be true, you can really only sell this to a subset of black voters. To almost everybody else, it sounds like a risky experiment and not one they are inclined to participate in.

Their response, in the best case, if they are reasonable, will be: Okay, FIRST, raise that funding through tax increases that you want for education, business development, social safety nets, mental health treatment, and drug rehab, etc, and we'll see if crime really does go down. THEN, AND ONLY THEN, can you have your cuts to police budgets. I do not feel like getting stabbed by rampaging criminals because you redirected money away from policing in the mere hope crime would go down, but then it it turned out, it went up instead! Thanks but no thanks.

That is what you are up against, even among people who are liberals or centrists and willing to listen.

The wingnuts, it should go without saying, believe crime will only go down when black people "stop being lazy and dysfunctional," and that we should defund welfare and give the money to the cops, who are all valiant heroes.

Whether or not you want police defunded, unless the feds step up with some support for state and municipal budgets, it's gonna happen.
See, state and local governments can't run deficits, and when tax revenue is in the shitter like it is right now because of covid, their only option is to cut spending, and the two largest outlays in state and municipal budgets are education and law enforcement.
And if you believe that crime is held in check by policing, then you should expect more crime.
Also, if you believe that crime is reduced at its roots by education and social programs, then you should expect more crime.
And if you happen to believe that dire personal financial situations drive crimes of desperation, then you should expect more crime.
So the policy of Fergus and the goddamn Republicans right now is to increase crime.
Apparently grifting $207 million from his idiot hordes is more important to Fergus than getting the states, counties, and cities the money they need to avoid such outcomes... and really if they do see chaos begin to break out in certain locations he would cheer it on.

So that's it for education, then. School will move from "remote learning" to "sorry, kid, we furloughed all the teachers, just watch these DVDS."

"So the policy of Fergus and the goddamn Republicans right now is to increase crime."

Yes, and it's succeeding marvelously. Allowing COVID to run wild while providing insufficient federal stimulus to blunt the resultant economic damage is causing poverty, desperation, and exploding crime rates. Trump started his presidency with speeches about "American carnage" -- and then he made it happen.

@Field Negro... I hear ya, Mr. Field; also in agreement with one of your previous columns opining strategic messaging flaws of notable DNC campaigns and grassroots efforts, such as BLM, for which "Black Lives Matter, Too" may have been far more effective.

Interestingly, Ibram X. Kendi, an Atlantic contributing writer, counters these concerns in the thought-provoking essay: "The Democrats Are Blaming the Wrong People."

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/12/democrats-are-blaming-wrong-people/617281/

As a fan of the Atlantic essays for years, must say it's a major bummer the comments section was discontinued. Much of the readership contributing viewpoints mirrors the insightfulness of the faithful FN bloggers. Trusting each of you are remaining safe and sound.

I'm told Black Lives Matter was around before Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown, so it was a little less "scary" than "Defund the Police." Never coin a phrase while you're enraged by something--wait until you can make a cooler calculation. Now it's too late to revise it, but CURE THE POLICE might have worked. "Reform" was deemed too weak a term at the time.

Don't forget they threw the "socialist" label at Social Security, Medicare and every other successful program since. Change that benefits any but the very rich has always met with nasty, name-calling resistance.

Not really. Crime is also skyrocketing in red states and rural areas where the illegal drug market is as active as a singles bar on ladies night.

Quite a twisted version of events, Anon. In the aftermath of the tragic murders of the black men and youth during the Obama administration, Pres. Obama in conjunction with DOJ jumpstarted the framework to resolve militaristic policing in the communities they are charged to serve. Only those stances adhering to revisionist history would argue Pres. Obama throwing BLM organizations under the bus. From the fatal loss of Travon Martin in Florida to the multiple gunshots in the back that left Wisconsin's Jacob Blake paralyzed, Pres. Obama exclaims on the national stage and print media that black lives matter, too. Our vice pres-elect staunchly advocates the well being of all Americans with a shout out to black lives and even those who support Pres. Trump.

Excellent OP, Field. I identify as conservative. You identify as socialist. I think we agree on much. I also agree heartily with just about everything that was written on this thread by the people addressing the topic.

Anotherbozo,

The Trayvon Martin murder galvanized the Black Lives Matter movement in 2012. But it was not solely about Martin. It started out as a hashtag by some sister. I may get in trouble, but I doubt by itself the death of Michael Brown two years later would have started a movement. He was not a boy scout. What's more, the story his buddy told to the cops did not hold water and he was quickly accused of dissembling. Brown was young and strong as prize fighter. My understanding is that he had reached into the cop car and was holding a death grip on the gun arm of police officer, Darren Wilson. There is evidence that the officer very well might have been in fear for his life. It was not a typical police brutality story.

From Daily Beast.... Melissa Carone, a witness in one of Rudy Giuliani’s sham election fraud hearings who went viral for her bizarre testimony, only recently came off probation for harassed her boyfriend’s ex-wife with sex videos. According to police reports obtained by Deadline Detroit, Carone stalked the woman for two years, sending several explicit videos of Carone and her boyfriend having sex. Investigators linked an email address used to send the videos back to Carone, who eventually admitted to sending the videos, saying she wanted to send the ex-wife “over the top.” She faced obscenity and computer crime charges that were later reduced to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

In fact, see Newsweek.com column, adding clarity to the dismay of the Trump administration rolling back the programs the Obama DOJ created to address and resolve this issue.

Actually, that is what is being advocated for when the argument against disparate impact of law enforcement against black people ignores the disparate amount of black criminality.

For all their partisan smear campaigns against each other, the TrumpTards/Republicans and ObamaBidenBots/Democrats are actually two sides of the same coin.

That is something that NEITHER side wants to admit. They are political Doppelgangers and, as such, they deserve each other.

Essentially, the TrumpTards/Republicans and ObamaBidenBots/Democrats are like the Crips and the Bloods--two rival gangster factions fighting a (political) turf war over who gets to rule the American Empire.

Ideally, the TrumpTards/Republicans and ObamaBidenBots/Democrats should be both deported to a secure island in the middle of nowhere, where they can fight it out and kill each other off, Hunger Games style.

A pox on BOTH their houses.

Inside Trump’s Continuing Failing Lawsuits

December 5, 2020 at 4:54 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 93 Comments

Rick Hasen: “Three weeks ago, I and others in the election law field determined that Trump’s path to use lawsuits to overturn the results of the election were dead. The campaign had uncovered no significant fraud or irregularities and none of the states where Trump lost were close enough that a recount could plausibly change the results of the election. By one count, Trump has lost 46 of his lawsuits and won only one minor one, in PA.”

“But the lawsuits keep coming and coming. They make much more sense when one thinks of them as about grift and delegitimizing the upcoming Biden presidency.”

I am an Russian internet troll, who is secretly typing my comments directly from Vladdy Putin's personal laptop.

LOL.

Americans of all political stripes--both Democrats and Republicans-- predictably always invoke the specter of a Hated Foreign Bogeyman to discredit their political opponents or any dissent against their secular religion called "American democracy" (aka American corporate oligarchy).

It's truly pathetic.

1950s-style McCarthyism in America never really ended; it only was updated for the 21st century.

That is yet another thing that the Democrats and Republicans share in common.

Like I said, the Democrats and Republicans are truly the political equivalents of the Crips and the Bloods.

Their mutual hatreds of each other obscure the reality that they are actually mirror images of each other.

Ware County, Georgia has broken the Dominion algorithm:

Using sequestered Dominion Equipment, Ware County ran a equal number of Trump votes and Biden votes through the Tabulator and the Tabulator reported a 26% lead for Biden.

37 Trump votes used in the equal sample run had been "Switched" from Trump to Biden. In actual algorithmic terms this means that a vote for Trump was counted as 87% of a vote and a vote for Biden was counted as 113% of a vote.

Those conducting the test were so shocked that they ran the same ballots again. The same results appeared.

ONE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE SOLVED. (It is worth noting that this was one County, and on one Tabulator alone.

Dominion Tabulators could have been configured with different algorithms in different Counties or States.) The point is there is now hard evidence of electronic manipulation of the Election.

I've been watching the vote count on election nights since 1945, and during that entire time, not once have all the votes ever been counted on election day or election night.

I guess you don't know there are four time zones in the United states and by the time the polls close in California it's eleven o'clock on the East Coast. So you think, CA can count 15 million votes in an hour? Think 3 weeks, that's realistic.

BOOM!  Georgia legislature is preparing to discard the corrupted election.

According to committee members, that was just a part of the testimony that came before them and much more is still being submitted. Any certification of electors by the Governor of Georgia or the Georgia Secretary of State in light of such systemic failures, the Petition states, would not be in conformity with the Georgia Election Code enacted by the General Assembly pursuant to its plenary power. Therefore, following Supreme Court guidance in Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 at 104, a state legislature, "after granting the franchise in the special context of Article II, can take back the power to appoint electors.”

“We believe we have reached the point that the results of this election are untrustworthy,” stated Sen. Burt Jones. “Such pervasive disregard for election laws by our election officials requires a decisive response. It is time for our legislative body to do its job.”

I watched the Loeffler/Warnock debate and some things stood out. Mrs. Loeffler spouted typical GOP talking points about government healthcare, failing schools and railed against radical change. Now we know there are a lot of poor people in Georgia with no healthcare insurance at all and they would love to get it even if it is provided by the government. I find it amusing that a multi-millionaire with free government healthcare feels comfortable mocking people who need any at all. She also rails against failing schools and promotes "school choice". This is interesting because only about 10-15% of the kids in public schools would get the vouchers but what about the 85-90% of the kids in public school? Do we just ignore them? What is her plan to fix the public schools? Lastly, she is against radical change. This is fine when you're married to the CEO of the stock exchange and use $100 bills to light your cigars on your private jet but I'm betting there are some really poor folk in Georgia who would love to see some radical change.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) said on Monday that he will recertify the results of the state’s presidential election after a recount completed last week reaffirmed President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

“It’s been 34 days since the election on Nov. 3,” Raffensperger said at a news conference at the Georgia Capitol. “We have now counted legally cast ballots three times and the results remain unchanged.”

Says the man who is willing to ignore the evidence of massive systemic fraud because it puts his tribe in power.
******
What evidence, Paraballs? If there is evidence, why hasn't it been submitted in court? So far, Trump isn't doing well at all with his 40 or 50 frivolous law suits, many brought before judges he appointed.
What massive fraud? Rudy admitted in court that there was no fraud involved in the law suits.



Everyone knows the election was stolen.
*******
No they don't. The election was not stole, although Trump is trying hard to steal it. The only people who believe the election was stolen from Trump are naive followers such as you who send him money, which he pockets. It's all a scam and you Trumpies are his suckers.


Either way your tribe is doomed.

If I were you, I wouldn't talk about other people being doomed. Someday you could find yourself in that spot.

Biden will never take power. He will concede the election before the end of the year.

My tribe’s been doomed plenty of times, by some hardened doomers. Yet here we are: but where are they?

I hear you, Paradoctor. My first love at the age of about five or six was the son in a family that barely escaped the doomers in their country.

Supreme Court Won’t Block Pennsylvania Certification

December 8, 2020 at 4:48 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 305 Comments

The Supreme Court turned down a request by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) to block Pennsylvania from certifying results of presidential election, according to Amy Howe.

Washington Post: “The court’s brief order provided no reasoning, nor did it note any dissenting votes. It was the first request to delay or overturn the results of the presidential election to reach the court.”

The only thing right now that is doomed is this ridiculous lawsuit brought about by the Whack-a-Doodle Texas Attorney General against four of the disputed swing states. If taken at face value, these four states have, "Messed with Texas," by unconstitutionally changing their election protocols to accomodate the new reality of dealing with the novel corona virus. Never mind the fact that very nearly all fifty states have made significant changes to their general election rules and regulations this year, in particular, Texas. The seventeen dogpile states and Clowin-in-Chief, Trump himself have sought to join this misguided hail Mary in a last ditch effort to get the Trump lop-sided SCOTUS to decide the election in favor of their emperor.

Trouble is there is no legal standing to bring it before the high court. They are attempting to use a legal precedent known as original jurisdiction wherein a state which must sue another state directly is able to be heard immediately by the SCOTUS without any lower court rulings. This could possibly be perfectly legal if there was an actual dispute between two states. But whatever tortured logic these Texas attorneys are using, nobody is buying it.

Hopefully this will be the end of it as the last dying embers of a fire to illegally subvert a non-contested free and fair election under the thinnest of pretenses really for no other reason that to overturn an unfavorable result.

Trump + Tea Party Republican = American Fascist Party

How does it feel to hate the United States of America, the greatest democracy ever conceived, you subversive little pricks? When you attack our elections and the democratic process, you are attacking the very essence of what our nation stands for. These wicked men and women are so short-sighted they don't even understand in the least what it is that they are doing. Calling themselves patriots and Americans while damning their political opponents as Marxists or communists. Pathetic. This radical extreme right movement within the republican party and libertarians must be stopped and put down on every front. They must be stopped at all costs and never allowed into positions of power. There shall be no quarter until they are all completely vanquished from any possibility of rising up in numbers again.

SCOTUS has original jurisdiction in ALL disputes between the states.  Article III, section 2:  "The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority ... to controversies between two or more states...."
