    “Top Democrats are quietly circulating a poll from May showing swing state voters are tying New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s brand of progressive liberalism with the mainstream Democratic Party, Axios reported Sunday.
    Those distributing the poll say swing voters know and dislike socialism, with some operatives warning the connection could cost the Democratic Party the House and the presidency. One operative lamented the over-sized amount of media coverage Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive colleagues are attracting.
    “If all voters hear about is AOC, it could put the [House] majority at risk,” a top Democrat involved in 2020 congressional races told Axios, addressing the poll’s details. “[S]he’s getting all the news and defining everyone else’s races.” The poll included 1,003 likely voters who are white and have two years or less of college education.

    Just like right here, “I’m not a racist”. Better redefine racism in your search for picture perfect words.

    Its just what they are –
    An additional flashpoint has been AOC’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti. A former Silicon Valley tech executive with plenty of access to money and organizing mojo—he helped found two activist groups, Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress—Chakrabarti is widely seen as the guiding force behind’s AOC’s rise. And yet he seems to seek out controversy all on his own as well; he was seen recently wearing a tee shirt emblazoned with the image of Subhas Chandra Bose, the dissident Indian nationalist who became a Nazi collaborator during World War Two. (Perhaps now we have a better sense as to why AOC seems to have such a tin ear about the Holocaust.)
    And yet, extreme as he might be, Chakrabarti can’t be dismissed—at least not by Democrats. Why? Because he and his hard-left pals have proven that they can win contested party primaries. It’s well remembered that AOC came out of nowhere to win an upset victory in New York City last year, and yet, in fact, all members of the Squad were insurgents—none were the choice of their local party establishment. And yet they each won, and now they’re all in Congress, supported by legions of donors and activists.

    Your country of birth is slowly becoming a shithole. Look what the libs did to our education system. Then look at every major city controlled by the libs. Simply look around. Even across the Pond, London is now as much as a 3rd World city as it is an English city. It’s not all black and white, but look around.
    I see, scanning in various points across the fruited plains, places that are resembling shitholes, are becoming shitholes, and some as truly shitholes.
    The Dems are turning this country into one big shithole on so many levels in so many areas. The frog in the slowly heating water.
    What the libs fail to grasp is the welfare state they have spent decades nurturing and developing is threatened at its very foundations by the LAWLESSNESS of their de facto open borders advocacy. Someday they may see this.
    But by then it will be too late for us all.
    And, as I have been warning, the children will turn on their elders, the students will turn on their professors, the biggest cheerleaders and mentors of the Young Turks will be led to the slaughter by those they taught so well. The word “liberal” has become a dirty word by the Left in front of your very eyes, yet you fail to see? Progressives are next to be marched by the Lefties up against the Wall.
    “This new breed of Democrats are the first elected after a lifetime of being inundated with liberal grievance propaganda. What was created to destroy the Republican Party is now metastasizing within the body that birthed it.”
    –@derekahunter 7/14/19
    I just don’t understand this need by the Lefties to cultivate an affinity with 3rd World counties to such a degree they openly promote turning the place of our birth into one shithole resembling a 3rd World country with all its problems. It’s beyond me.

    JERUSALEM, July 15 (Reuters) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned a European Union response on Monday to Iran’s breaches of nuclear limitations, saying it recalled failed diplomacy with Nazi Germany ahead of World War Two.
    “(It) reminds me of the European appeasement of the 1930s,” Netanyahu said in a video statement after EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said none of the parties to a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran saw its increased uranium enrichment as “significant non-compliance”.
    “Then, too, there were those who stuck their head in the sand and did not see the approaching danger,” said Netanyahu, who has often cast Iran’s nuclear projects as a mortal menace to Israel and the wider world. Iran denies seeking a nuclear bomb.

    Scotto. 11:56–‘worker owned cooperatives’ means that the company stock is owned by the people who actually work at a facility, whether they’re the janitor or the CEO, they all have equity and one vote. Many companies already have stock sharing plans. This is no different except it cuts out investors, holding companies, hedge funds, and other stockholders who are not part of the day to day operations an are just in it for the money. These are the people largely responsible for such innovative money making schemes as downsizing, off-shoring, hostile takeovers, cannabalizing, and other actions that have resulted in most of the loss of American jobs. You ever notice that every time a company announces layoffs their stock goes up? Why? Because cost cuts means greater profits for investors and fuck the working folks who lost their jobs because of it.

You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”
    After another question at that press conference, Trump became even more explicit:

    As Walt pointed out yesterday (and Scott the night before that), nothing is stopping any company or start up from going worker owned. As you have previously pointed out, there are many companies that have done exactly what which you advocate. So, I fail to see what your point is. Sure, Macy’s once went private and had to pay off the investors. The reason I know that is a friend who had stock in Macy’s received a check when they went private. So, there you go. Go for it.
    I suppose Briar Patch is worker owned. I looked at rather large company that claimed to be worker owned, but in actuality if was union owned and union controlled.lol. Close enough.
    Any worker owned company is still under existing labor law with the same insurance liabilities. Most need to raise capital from outside sources. But, I still don’t see why you are still talking about it. Like forming 3rd Parties, go for it. Unless, you demand we agree with your unspecified plan. Then, that is an unreasonable request.
    The old joke is what happens to a worker owned factory when the building is leased?
    A minor (yet important) side bar issue of CA requiring a certain percentage of women aon the Board of Directors of CA companies is that it may be unconstitutional. Since the law and penalties have yet to be enforced, the issue is yet to be determined. The other joke is having half the old men on the Board identify as women. :). Who would ever dare challenger gender fluidity? That would be blasphemy to the SJW’s.
    I suppose employee owned….er….worker owned factories, businesses, and service providers have to make a profit to meet payroll….just like every other business, save the government. In the old USSR, everybody had a job and no one got the ax. My favorite story (bored the readers here with it before) was the directive from the Soviet Committees concerning manufacturing underwear. The Soviet factories made an equal amount of men’s underwear as women’s underwear. Unfortunately, women buy 5x the amount of underwear as men, thus having warehouses of unsold men’s underwear filled to the rafters and chronic storages of women’s underwear. An unintended consequence of full employment. :). Yes, the Soviet plans are not what you are taking about, but before we jump head first into worker owned companies (excluding sole proprietors, of course), we best look at those unintended consequences….like what to do with slackers and bonuses for the high producers? Unfair.
    Lead on Robert. Gather a couple hundred people that agree with your plan and swamp us with testimonials. I have faith in you.
