Progressives (Liberals)

Come to think of it, you can't be anything and not be a racist, according to the cheese-eaters. The self-defeating, cannibalistic left now turns on itself, with everyone accusing the other of being "racist." See the dem debates.

Elizabeth Warren Releases $1.5 Trillion Plan to Combat 'Environmental Racism'

"We live in a country now where the president is advancing environmental racism, economic racism, criminal justice racism, health care racism," Warren said.

Elizabeth Warren is painfully woke — except when it comes to her own campaign's culture of racial hostility.

The Massachusetts Democrat was the first 2020 presidential candidate to endorse affirmative action for nonbinary people, and she has also signaled potential support for slavery reparations and even offered a mea culpa for her white privilege. But new reports reveal that, as is so often the case, Warren’s wokeness is mostly just virtue-signaling and evidently doesn’t actually translate to treating minorities well.

As the Washington Examiner has reported, six minority women have quit Warren’s Nevada campaign due to a perceived toxic work environment. Former field organizer Megan Lewis said there was something “wrong with the culture.”

Several of the other women claimed they felt like token minorities in Warren’s campaign. “I felt like a problem — like I was there to literally bring color into the space but not the knowledge and voice that comes with it,” one said.

“We all were routinely silenced and not given a meaningful chance on the campaign. Complaints, comments, advice, and grievances were met with an earnest shake of the head and progressive buzzwords but not much else.”

When Warren was confronted during an MSNBC interview over the allegations of a racist campaign environment, she took full accountability and promised to do better. Just kidding.

Rather, Warren blamed “systemic racism” and the “long legacy” of racism in this country as she spat out other buzzwords in an obnoxious attempt to woke her way out of culpability.

The shortage of face masks is so severe that the CDC is now advising nurses and other health care providers that they can "use homemade masks" like a "bandana" or "scarf" "as a last resort" -- even though it admits the effectiveness "is unknown."

It is simply not possible to have a functioning democracy with a state propaganda operation which reaches so many citizens with a goal of misinforming them.

The Washington Post was forced to issue a correction after columnist Jennifer Rubin attacked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., for allegedly not rushing to pass financial aid during the national coronavirus emergency.

"The Republican-led Senate is fiddling while Rome burns. The failure to take an immediate vote on the House's relief package last week was emblematic of the sloth and irresponsibility of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell," Rubin wrote.

The Post explained in a correction at the top of Rubin's column the next day: "An earlier version of this article incorrectly said that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) delayed a vote on the House’s coronavirus relief package. In fact, McConnell vowed to move at 'warp speed' on the bill and it was only delayed due to a demand from Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) for an amendment on the bill.

Maxine Waters says during coronavirus outbreak adults should get $2G per month, children $1G per month

Larry Klayman, the co-founder of the conservative groups Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, has sued the Chinese government, alleging that the COVID-19 pandemic was the result of a Chinese bioweapon that made its way around the world.

The suit relies on tabloid news articles that succeeded in spreading the now-popular conspiracy theory that the disease originated as a man-made biological weapon — a theory that’s been debunked repeatedly for weeks by public health officials and medical experts.

“Although it appears that the COVID-19 virus was released at an unplanned, unexpected time, it was prepared and stockpiled as a biological weapon to be used against China’s perceived enemies, including but not limited to the people of the United States,” the suit reads.

Klayman’s accommodate also lists as plaintiffs his team Independence Look at and and Buzz Pictures, a higher school sports activities pictures corporation in North Texas. It lists the Chinese military services and the Wuhan Institute of Virology as defendants, in addition to the Chinese federal government. The fit needs a jury trial and damages “in extra of $20 trillion.”

According to Klayman, China and the governing administration lab in Wuhan materially supported an act of international terrorism, violated intercontinental agreements versus organic warfare and conspired to get rid of Americans.

Conspiracies about COVID-19 ended up initially broadcast to mass audiences as a result of since-debunked or speculative content in publications like the Washington Periods and the New York Put up, the two of which were being cited in Klayman’s go well with.

Now’s the Time for a Biden-Warren Ticket

We’re certainly at a weird, unanticipated, and unprecedented moment in the 2020 Democratic presidential contest. Joe Biden has almost certainly clinched the nomination, but must await a host of postponed primaries or a Bernie Sanders decision to pack it in before he can begin to unite his party and prepare for the convention (if it still happens) and the general election. Meanwhile, the context of that general election has radically changed. The “electability” argument that has been so critical to Biden’s nomination campaign now depends on a different kind of comparison to Donald Trump than was the case before the coronavirus crisis swept all before it.

Whereas the formula for a Democratic victory previously involved painstakingly putting together this and that constituency, and this or that path to a majority in certain battleground states, you have to figure the pandemic — whether it still rages in the autumn or simply haunts the electorate as the most traumatic event in living memory — has changed how Americans view their leadership, what they expect from the federal government, and how they think of the very act of voting. Prefab ideology may no longer suffice; the iron partisanship of our era could relax; and freedom from fear and confidence in the future could matter as much as “enthusiasm” in determining turnout.

Meanwhile, Biden really does need to bring the primary season to an end and unite Democrats, if only because any persistent “struggle for the soul of the party,” however muted, will look irresponsible in a moment of national crisis, particularly since the GOP is in lockstep behind its leader despite his endlessly erratic ways. Yes, he can approach the Sanders constituency in a crabwise manner, accommodating himself to this or that policy proposal. But that could simply whet the appetite of progressive activists looking forward to a platform fight in (the actual or the virtual) Milwaukee.

So what can Biden do to unite his party and adapt to the ultraserious new climate? It’s time to consider forming an electoral alliance with the ultraserious party-unifying progressive who is already on his veep shortlist, Elizabeth Warren. Yes, I’m not 100 percent objective, having urged Hillary Clinton to make the same smart unity gesture in 2016, but the logic is even more compelling today.

Only Sanders and his team can decide whether placing Warren on the ticket sufficiently reflects the “ideological victory” they are already claiming for this cycle, but it can and should. And from the point of view of any party faction potentially offended by the choice of a younger veep, placing the 70-year-old Massachusetts senator in this position would not prejudice long-term party leadership. Biden-Warren would be an emergency leadership ticket for perilous times.

In such times, all the petty complaints about Warren’s “schoolmarmish” demeanor or wonkiness seem vastly less relevant than her unquestioned mastery of the federal government and the levers of power that must be utilized in this crisis. And at a time when said government is throwing hundreds of billions of dollars in the direction of corporate America, it might be handy for Democrats to hand a megaphone and a magnifying glass to a “capitalist to my bones” with a jeweler’s eye for corruption and exploitation of the vulnerable.

Yes, Warren is a woman, and some Democrats think so little of their fellow citizens that they fear a woman on the ticket will hurt them. But Biden has mooted that issue by pledging to choose some woman to be his running mate. Yes, he and the Democratic Party can speculate over his choice for months, and get down in the weeds with polls and focus groups to see which veep prospect would move a handful of crucial votes here and there on the electoral map. The most dramatic and impressive choice isn’t likely to change, however, and Uncle Joe ought to pick up the phone and call her up for a meaningful chat before another day of fear and crisis passes.
