2020 Democratic Primaries

[Steely Glint]

You mean being angry because Bernie would lose according to rules he himself pushed for in 2016 and after Bernie spent months in 2016 urging superdelegates to make him the nominee despite getting a minority of the vote? Like I said, entitled privileged brats.

So, what is the best way to resolve a contested convention, in your view?

I don't think so, so long as the boomers stop screwing over the millenials and as the millenials grow up and make something for themselves. Protecting the market economy doesn't mean much to someone who can't afford anything in the market economy.

Randblade, you're pretty close to "getting it" here, but they only way that's going to happen is if boomers find a way to go back in time and unvote for the obliteration of social protections and market regulation.

The current problems aren't a consequence of the intrinsic character flaws of boomers, but an inevitable byproduct of the capitalist system in its current manifestation. Companies are under intense pressure from their investors to not only make a profit, but to make bigger profit than they made last year however beyond a certain point this isn't possible to do by expanding, since there is only a certain amount of a given good or service that is actually needed, so the only way to do is to get more for less. For employees, this means frozen wages, longer hours, less job security and worse conditions generally. For customers it means paying more and more for an increasingly inferior service, the US healthcare (I use this word advisedly) system being a prime example. Also, we will destroy the biosphere.

All this so guys like Bloomberg can have x15 more money than they could possibly spend in a human life time, rather than x1.5 times.

Let's just say fuck 'em all to cover our bases.

Now you're speaking my language.
