#ProportionalRepresentation - a thread: 🧵
Many so-called "progressives" openly espouse the cause of PR, having been fooled into believing that is is somehow "fairer". 😒😒😒
More on this, later.

But, it is not - is is a recipe for fragmentation, and is the #Establishments best weapon against #WorkingClass #Solidarity, and should be shunned by any #Socialist , worth their salt. 🤔
Look at Israel, and Italy, to see and understand the PR end game.

What PR DOES, and is DESIGNED to DO, is to funnel footloose votes towards the MIDDLE, and reinforce the so called #Centrists. It FRAGMENTS the big battalions of left and right, and gives WHOLLY DISPROPORTIONATE POWER, to the brokers of the central parties.

Aim of the webinar is to provide the working class with an understanding of the disease and how it can be fought. -- @DavidNorthWSWS #EndCOVD #October24 
The cost in human lives is the product of a very deliberate policy. — David North. All politics and all policy are in the end about social and economic interests. — David North
The case for #elimination is so clear, so persuasive, that it would at first seem hard to understand how it could be argued against. — David North
‘Returns on social infrastructure’ and social R&D are topics that really resonate with me at the moment. Post covid renewal and recovery will depend on our ability to rebuild our social fabric in imaginative and creative ways. #SocEnt #socialinnovation
If the 90s-2020s Digital Revolution was the era that transformed society through mass adoption of digital infrastructure, hoping the 20s-2050s will unlock an equivalent Social Revolution that increases wellbeing & inclusion through renewed social infrastructure & human connection
I’ve been pondering for a few years now what restorative public services might be like in a circular economy sense. Instead of being an extractive wasteful race to the bottom, being a multiplier of nascent social capital and restorer of dignity, diversity, community and belonging

Embargoed until 12:01am EDT, Tuesday, April 21, 2020: The #Rockefeller Foundation has created a National #Covid19 Testing Action Plan intended to serve as a resource guide for the "largest public health testing program in American history".
"The effort will ultimately grow to billions of dollars per month although innovations in testing technology should eventually drop costs...Coordination of such a massive program should be treated as a wartime effort, with a public/private bipartisan #Pandemic Testing Board..."

UK Labour loss is similar to our 2016 Dem Primary & election loss.
We need to focus on #Progressive ground game here in U.S. Don't listen to corp #MSM pundits w/ contrived polls throwing pasta at wall hoping anyone but #Bernie2020 sticks & corporate "manufacturing consent",

Today, as I've done since I before I started this campaign, I gave my parents all the money I could afford. All to try and help them make ends meet as they're faced with medical bills, car payments, and other necessities families across the country struggle to afford. 1/
There are 5 of us working together to keep this house afloat, and we only barely succeed. We are the #workingclass, and we have not benefitted from the economy that Trump and his ilk love to tout. In the richest country in the world, this shouldn't be reality for anyone, 2/
But it's all too common. Anyone not born into privilege knows the fear of being one minor emergency, or one vehicle breakdown, away from financial ruin. Sadly, our elected reps like @DrPhilRoe know no such struggle, or perhaps simply don't care. Whichever is the case, 3/
#TLDR - if you're a woman or from a #workingclass or 'minority' background in the UK, your exclusion from #publishing is not by accident it's #ByDesign. Inclusion programmes deal w/ symptoms; for change, we need redesign. (co @BareLit & @rlfwriters)

Quelques remarques éparses sur l'annulation du show de #RoseanneBarr par @ABCNetwork (et son renvoi par sa propre agence de #relapub), la comédienne fan de #Trump sortie de l'oubli par le président US. Il y a de véritables leçons politiques...#thread washingtonpost.com/news/reliable-…
2) D'1 part, #RoseanneBarr a été rappelée pour 1 resucée de sa série vedette des années 1990 parce que @ABCNetwork avait décidé, dès le lendemain de l'élection de #Trump, en novembre 2016, 1"Heartland strategy" pour reconquérir l'électorat rural et blanc #workingclass...
3) Et cette stratégie de reconquête d'@ABCNetwork sur l'électorat de #Trump avait été 1 triomphe lors du retour de #Roseanne fin mars 2018: meilleure audience en 4 ans pour 1 sitcom US, et carton à Tulsa en Oklahoma ou Cincinnati en Ohio, bastions de la #workingclass blanche...
