-- There’s an easy answer to the internal Democrats’ debate whether this week’s election was a mandate for the political left or an anti-Trump vote for mainstream progressives: Bernie Sanders or Barack Obama ?
Your actions on this site continue to try and divide the Democratic Party, no mater what your words say. Why not just come out and say what you truly believe, You love the rich, you love the corporations and you love mediocre, corporatist Democrats. You continue to demean progressives. You say you like winners, but you continue to make snarky, often nasty remarks about Mamdani, AOC and Bernie. I've had it with Politics War Room with James Carville and Al Hunt. I want podcasts that mean what they say, not speaking out of both sides of their mouths, and try to minimize the success of the Progressive Democrats. Why not join the Republican Party, it seems that's where you want to be. If you can't embrace the winners in the Democratic Party, move on (pun intended).
I'm for expanding Obamacare,, beyond just extending tax subsidies; am for restoring most of Medicaid cuts; for raising top individual tax rate to above 40%; increase corporate rate to where it was under Obama; eliminate billions of corporate tax loopholes like carried interest, and significantly boost estate taxes. Is that really Republican ?
CORPORATE COMMUNIST BUSINESS PLAN (It’s not a conspiracy, it is a business plan.)
Russia and China are red states.
Why would anyone feel there is a need for a metaphor about Corporate Communism? The short answer: political marketing.
The fascist Trump MAGA right is using socialist as a bludgeon to attack every bipartisan social progress program of the twentieth century (yes, I mean FDR, Eisenhower, Reagan, Nixon, JFK, LBJ, Obama, Biden, et al). Ninety nine percent of the US population, because of Corporate Communist Fox, has no idea what socialism is other than being the spawn of Satan. It is time to put these liars on their back foot by being forced to defend the lack of a free and fair media.
In NYC a self described socialist Zohran Mamdani resoundingly won in the race for Mayor. During the campaign an ad by political entertainer and Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa who had less leadership experience than Mamdani attacked the leadership and ethics of Cuomo and Adams while yelling “Socialist” about Mamdani. The conservavictim whiny little bitch corporate communist media is spreading the fear lies that NYC businesses will leave NYC for Texas etc.since they have the same educated employee hiring pool as NYC.
“Corporate Communism” is when oblivious and frequently incompetent corporations own the means of communication and the production of false information via the privatization of Big Brother (Palantir, Google, X aka Gulf of Twitter. Facebook, Amazon Instagram, etc). It is the worst of both utopian fantasies, e.g. altruism is a natural human trait and that the invisible hand is more than a metaphor.
A Note on Conspiracy Theory: A popular belief among life’s victims (conservavictims and libtards) is that they are not to blame for their lack of success because “those forces” such as space aliens, frequently with lasers, immigrants and beings with mystic power, e.g. The Illuminati are aligned against them, and “those people” (usually ethnic and or religious groups) all sticking together to subvert their pure patriotic programs.
Corporate Communism is anti-capitalism (Adam Smith and Ayn Rand). It is anti-communist, (Marx and Stalin). It is anti-competitive in its core. It hates the free market. Loves big government which it owns. Classic Capitalism and Classic Communism are utopian dreams based on the perfectibility of humans. The stunning materialist success of classic Capitalism in remaking the world is that it most closely follows the depraved human (that is us) indifference to consequences. The stunning failure of Russian/Chinese, Stalinist Communism is that it assumed that imperfect dogma dog bureaucrats could manage something other than being dogma dog bureaucrats; Red Guard political officers in every organization.
The Corporate Communist Business Plan Privatizing Big Brother:
• Elect a useful idiot wholly controlled by those with extortion and blackmail skills and evidence.(Trump-Epstein anyone?).
• Neuter Citizen Voting (Citizens United: corporations are people) an armed guard at polling places to demand “your papers please” to prevent non-proven voter fraud.
• Neuter The Free Press Aka the Fourth Estate and free speech while maintaining the fantasy of freedom (Free Speech Absolutist) through bogus litigation, denial of access, and ownership of the means of communication. Consolidation of media
• A note on Free Speech Absolutism: Free speech is absolutely protected from the government. That’s it, full stop. It does not mean everybody has the right to have their words and speech published, streamed, broadcast, sculpted, painted or sent via smoke signals “Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one". A. J. Liebling”..
• Ongoing degradation and subjugation of women via BFFI (BruteForceFuckingIgnorance) and tax-free religion. E.g. Clinton, Harris, Warren, Klobuchar, Ferraro. Compare and contrast with Nixon, Trump, Bush, et al. G$D created man and woman in their own image but no one has ever seen him/her/them yet almost always has a beard. Hell, even Satan has a beard. Why do popular (actually all) religions get to have their superstitions subsidized by the government as tax free business? Please don’t say they do good work like the Godfather passing out turkeys on Thanksgiving right before DeNiro shoots him.
• Neuter Government Oversight of the economy (Chevron Doctrine), DOGE. and e.g. elimination of the CFPB Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
• Cut Education Funding (eliminate critical thinking and awareness of facts about tiny hands).
• The anti-capitalist mentality. Elimination of Classic Capitalism Free Market Competition via Anti-Customer Service (“Your call is very important to us and the robot will be right with you”), tax funded bailouts. Consolidation of industries to eliminate effective competition.
• Denying that personal information: medical, financial e.g. credit scores, accident, dating, social, religious is actually individual private property like homes, stamp collections, cars, shoes, underwear. This theft of private property is frequently self-inflicted via free shipping and rewards by uploading your life to Big Brother social media or most likely in terms of agreement you signed and never read. Let’s not forget DOGE: since there is no controls or oversight, possibly most Musk minions stolen data will wind up as an Xfile without rewards or free shipping.
o This from Consumer Reports: “Imagine being charged more for an airline ticket to a family member’s funeral just because you searched for their obituary online. ..surveillance pricing’ happens because corporations are allowed to secretly use your personal information against you – charging different prices based on how much they think you’re willing to pay, or how badly you need their product or service.”

This is what Al and James and all of these fossilized third way Dems do. Heck, I’m pretty sure Al is an estranged Tepublican and these guys have no party, so they want to keep the Dems as a Republican lite party. I had to stop listening to their podcast because they really are out of touch, Al has these verbal gaffes much of time and James just rants. Carville hasn’t been relevant since the 90’s and yes, this year “it’s the economy stupid” was apt, but they do not understand the younger electorate and that is where the party needs to build a new base.
I have to disagree with your assessment of Mamdani. I think he’s a testament to New Yorkers’ rising up to old regimes, whether they be republicans or “mainstream” democrats, both who are thoroughly in the pockets of oligarchs. Mamdani is highly intelligent, an excellent orator ( he reminds me of Obama), and his power sauce is his ability to motivate young people and typical NYC citizens who may never previously paid any attention to politics in the past, but have struggled to make a living since time immemorial. My daughter and her boyfriend, neither of which ever had a political bone in their bodies previously, were so motivated by Mamdani, that they actually canvassed their neighborhood in Brooklyn multiple times for him! I couldn’t have been prouder of them. We do need more people like Mamdani in the rest of the country. Sure… local politics and issues would be different due to local needs, but the feckless democrats need to listen to everyday people more, and less to the powerful elite. Pipe dreams? Maybe. But even edging towards that ideal is what we need during these trying times! Perhaps that is the lesson that Trump taught many of us?
