No, good Canadian fun

In reply to Hi Ocean!

No, good Canadian fun involves seals in all sorts of inappropriate poses. Nothing that would fly on a US stage, short of a freak Vegas-OceanWorld mashup. OceanKat needs a strap-on to get him through the extended Debbie Downer portion of the campaign. Going limp across the finish line isnt good enough - needs some skin in the game, some sort of major political thrust. The Democratic avatar *is* a donkey, after all, but we only seem to be hung *up* like a mule - a significant semantic difference.

PS - for nude protesters, seems Ukraine & Russia's the place to be. I don't get it - too damn cold. They'll freeze their placards off.

Hi Ocean!

Barenakeds was a hoax.

I read that the band attempted to get this gig and the owner told the manager:

We don't allow that kinda stuff.

hahahahaha

The manager had to go out of his way to inform the idiot that the band consisted of all guys who kept their clothes on. hahahahah

Good Canadian fun all around.

In reply to NUDE PROTESTERS?

So I'm looking at the LATEST COMMENTS section to check if anything new has come up and I see Maiello's comment "1) Extending the length of" and your comment, "NUDE PROTESTERS" I'm thinking, finally! Some useful techniques to help with a...... ah, particular problem I'm dealing with and some freaky porn to practice them on. Dagblog is really improving. Turns out not a single bare naked lady in your vid at all. Kinda disappointing.

NUDE PROTESTERS?

Wow, blackagendareport, my favorite go to site. Perhaps you can focus on a country that promotes economic equality, Cuba.

Racism in Cuba has been discussed for decades

The reason that Sanders could praise Fidel is because talk of racism is suppressed in Cuba

In reply to Some Progressives like to

Economic injustice/wealth and income disparities aggravate racial tensions. More equal societies tend to be less racist and oppressive and to make strides against these scourges. It is no surprise that the Civil Rights, women's rights, and environmental movements all saw their greatest successes when American society was most equitable.

Heightened racial tensions in Obama's America are a foreseeable consequence of an ever more economically unjust land - one in which African Americans have fallen farther behind. http://www.blackagendareport.com/obama-legacy-black-child-poverty.

In reply to Souljahing On

Some Progressives like to cast Sanders focus on economics as the "solution" to racism. Black voters on the other hand feel the impact of racism at a variety of levels independent of income. Racism is not simply manifested as police abuse.

Race impacts the amount of pain medication you receive after an injury

Race impacts access to employment

Race effects access to home loans

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/31/nyregion/hudson-city-bank-settlement.html

The reason Sanders got early pushback because he did not focus on race is because acknowledging the impact of race is a matter of life and death in the black community.

In reply to So you can't or won't

You repeatedly ask, what I think that Hillary will do that Bernie won't. I repeatedly tell you that I don't believe Bernie can get elected. Asking what Bernie will do is like asking if I want to travel to Vulcan via impulse engines or warp drive. I am not getting to Vulcan either way. Sanders can't explain is own programs. Sanders cannot explain how his single-payer health care plan will get passed.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-false-charms-of-bernie-sande...

He will wilt in the run up to the general election.

You keep asking why I don't support a man who can't explain why single-payer failed in his own home state but will be deployed nationally.

I expect Hillary to be able to take on Cruz or Trump. I expect a leftward shift of SCOTUS because the racist Scalia is dead. I see Hillary as the rational choice because I see Bernie going down in flames like Dukakis and McGovern.

Asking what Bernie will propose is ridiculous because Sanders is not electable.

Thanks.

In reply to I prefer Clinton because she

So you can't or won't identify any specific legislation or executive actions that Clinton will pass or take that Sanders won't but you support her in part because he didn't reach out to your community and he disappointed some African Americans in Vermont and because you say "she's building structure to get things done". Okay that's fair.

I have not repeatedly questioned why a majority of blacks support Clinton. I am disappointed by the fact but I understand it and have set out here reasons that I think many blacks support her including most members of the Congressional Black Caucus. I have not denigrated Hillary's black supporters the way you have denigrated Cornel West and dismissed Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte.

I'm Jewish and there are many Jews who don't like Bernie Sanders but I'm still voting for him. I vote for the candidate who I believe will be best for poor, working, and middle-class Americans and the environment. I have no doubts that Bernie Sanders is that candidate in this election. I asked you to set out legislation or actions that you believe she will push for or take that will be better than what Bernie will do because that's how I decide who's best - the one who acts in ways that improves the lot of poor, working, and middle-class Americans and the environment is the one who's best.

Perhaps you can identify specific salutary changes that will result from the structure Clinton is building.
