I would love to hear whatever convoluted story you have going on in your head regarding how we got to present day.

Yes - Trump is clearly a positive step back to a world of workers' rights. Solid point.

You gotta understand, if there are more things to negotiate over then the workers have more of a voice.

I mean, who benefits the most from obamacare? certainly the lower class and the working class.

its truly amazing how brainwashed ppl like pwns et al are to actually think the republican party is a positive for the working class. its really sad too.

And the people cried out"we want meaningful employment and reasonable wages", and the bifactional uniparty placated them with bad insurance and class warfare. And the people rejoiced.

Are you a militant Bernie supporter? Otherwise it's kind of hard to square anything you're saying on the subject of labor

pwnsall has been pretty clearly a libertarian who has read the Wikipedia page on the subject at LEAST three times, but not enough literature to have grown up views with nuance or understanding of complex things without contradicting himself.

Militant Bernie supporter sounds reasonable. Libertarian modern monetary theorist. Post kantian. Perhaps misguided internet troll.

Tonight might get fun. There are pro-confederate statue demonstrations going on at Lee Circle, which as you might guess is a traffic circle with a statue of Robert E Lee atop a big column. Elsewhere, a large march of local anti-monuments people are slowly making their way toward Lee Circle for a counter demonstration.

Lee Circle is 3 blocks from my apartment and helicopters have been circling all day. I'll let you all know if **** gets real tonight.

Surely the pro-Confederate crowd is outnumbered like 10:1 or more? Seems like a bold move to tell a much larger crowd of people to go **** themselves.

There have been some intra-right wing fights over, and I'm not making this us, U-S-A chants vs. C-S-A chants lol, no real Berkeley style antifa vs. nazi scraps

I imagine they're very outnumbered. Police have the two demonstrations separated and I doubt anything happens. NOPD is useless at a lot of things but crowd control ain't one of them.

I don't understand why the League of the South appears to have invented their own flag(the black on white St. Andrew's cross). The CSA already had a flag. Was color printing too expensive?
