2016 Postmortem

All I know of you is that you are accepting the imperialist ideology as hegemonic. It no longer is. Its institutions are still murdering around the planet, but the faith has been broken - starting with Vietnam, and continuing with the Reagan genocides in Central America, and of course now with the Bush war of aggression and the Clinton-Obama (that is the right order) series of wars. Let them come after Sanders with bullshit about him being communist - we've been hearing all this bullshit for the entire Obama time already. The young are immunized, the old are as mobilized as they'll ever be. The calculus of this rhetoric is no longer hegemonic. Even with the "terror" boost. Not enough people take this shit seriously anymore.

How stupid would the Democrats and Republicans be to have this fight. Once beyond 'name-calling'?

The daily Beast is a Hillary publication, not anything independent or top-rated. Good try though.

Right, because endless wars and secret coups are clearly the playbook for American Exceptionalism

Once the Republicans effectively brand Bernie as a Communist/Marxist, he's done.

I suppose it's too much to ask that we reflect on what the residents of Burlington thought.
