You seem to need a list of different tactics in order to see a proposed shift in FP. I think an honest shift in the tone and attitude of our belligerent FP away from the neocon dominated policies of recent history would amount to a significant change in strategy which must come first. Different tactics would follow. I think it should be obvious that we need to try something different. I think I see a call for that change in Sanders' speech. I didn't see that in the primaries so I see this speech is important as he continues to try to change the nature of the Democratic Party. I wish him luck and in doing so wish us all luck. I'm not holding my breath.

In reply to Outlets That Scolded Sanders

i was interested to look up who voted no, only these eight:

US Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) bucked the partisan establishment and voted no on the bill.

and would just like to remind everyone that Congress decides these things, not the president, whoever he or she may be. So there might be a very long row to hoe in order to change this military spending thing.

In reply to PP, thanks for pointing out

This was more along Godwin's Law, an advisemntt or observation actually, wherr you *may* continue to claim he said something new when it's been shown to be patently observably not so, but it just makes you look foolish and simply highlights the kind of empty rhetorics we're working with.

BTW, where's that Russian criticism? Tough bit of homework, eh?

The speech delivers an internationalist message that is at odds with the message given in the campaign that globalization is the enemy of American Labor.

No wonder Sanders didn't talk this way until after he lost.

" I note that you have never, to my recollection, acknowledged even one problem resulting from "free trade" or evinced the slightest sympathy for the many who have suffered from it." - I notice that you are batshit crazy and oblivious to any detail that doesn't fit the spin you want. I'm done.

In reply to "Eviscerate", eh? Rhymes with

So growing income inequality in China was the only quasi-legit criticism of "free trade" right? Since you found one study suggesting a slight reduction there, nobody can rationally question the wisdom of the dynamic. Makes sense. I note that you have never, to my recollection, acknowledged even one problem resulting from "free trade" or evinced the slightest sympathy for the many who have suffered from it.

BTW, the good news in China on wage distribution you love to hate. The phrase "the dismal science" was coined just for you.

I've done so several times at this website. Since you demonstrated on those occasions that you will not take seriously positions that eviscerate your own, I have neither interest in recpitulating nor desire to recapitulate them.

In reply to You and your fucking "elites"

No. It's not hard for me to understand as I have pointed out repeatedly that "free trade" has led to marginally improved living conditions for millions of Chinese. Okay I answered your question. Let's see if you can answer mine.

Is it hard for you to understand that the drop in the percentage of Chinese living in extreme poverty came at great cost to America's working and middle-class? Is it hard for you to understand that "free trade" has also decimated Latin America's agricultural sector and led to terribly crowded, impoverished, and crime-ridden cities? Is it hard for you to understand that China's industrial rise has exacerbated our ecological crisis? Is it hard for you to understand that there were almost certainly other better ways to address Chinese poverty? Is it hard for you to understand that . . . Nah that's enough.
