Riddle me this, electoralists: if the Bidenists, with a majority in both houses, refuse to pass a health care reform that would simply bring the US up to the level of social-democratic countries 70 years ago, how do you expect to get a Green New Deal in the next ten years?
Like, the strategy of the elected social democrats has been to kiss the asses of the Party leaders in exchange for bullshit committee seats & promises that get watered down to appease the GOP.
k...so what's the path from A (here) to B (5-year plans for a total green transition)?
I'm very vulgar and literalminded, a philistine habit I picked up from my reporter days, so maybe I'm missing something I'd understand if I Read The Right Theory (TM). But I'm just not seeing how the numbers add up. Climate doom is here. What is the game plan?
So as I understand it, the Jacobin Model is we elect more socdems...who then get elected...and capitulate to the Bidenists on the platform, with no organized caucus separate from the Dem establishment & no threatening the Dem majority to extract demands? Is that the plan?
Or wait wait don't tell me, is it actually, that 2024 is going to be the Most Important Election Ever, and we need to elect Bernie's decaying corpse so that he can, um, bypass Congress and rule by executive order, or something? And, um, totally not get overthrown by the military?
