wtf

"“I’m not sure of the impact of the word ‘fascist,’” Nadler responded. “To some people, if you say ‘fascist,’ they just tune you out, they don’t listen to what you’re saying.”

When one woman shouted out, “But it’s true,” Nadler said, “Yes, it is true. But that’s not the only question. The goal is not to feel good about yourself because you said the truth. The goal is to stop what’s going on.”

Nadler did add, though, that “Donald Trump is the first major candidate in American politics, in recent decades, that I think really deserves to be called a fascist.” "

yeah, I remember all this happening now

I forgot quite a bit of what he said

I still remember the guy saying he was HIV positive though

That moment when real life and satire are indistingusiable

Is this like the typical leftist gathering

or is it considered a more mild one

@Swamp Killer I actually haven't been to enough events to compare things

remember, this event is nominally neutral

and I'd say many of the people who went there aren't necessarily leftists in the sense of being ANTIFA types

So they were mroe centrist

but most are definitely Democrats

many of the Hillary type, who look down on Sanderistas

Wait why do the hillary type look down on sander's people

remember, New York went to Hillary in the primaries, though that was partly because a lot of Sanders' fans weren't registered Democrats, and you had to be a registered Democrat to vote in the primary

@Swamp Killer Many Hillary supporters, particularly those from affluent urban areas like Manhattan (where rent is easily $5000 a month), are neoliberals who are fine with capitalism and free trade, think Sanders lives in la-la land and is for unkempt losers

the Democratic Party has been another party for the rich since the 1990s, when Bill Clinton and his neoliberalism took over

Manhattan in particular is full of those types

So Berie Sanders was too socialist for them

since he appealed to younger college ppl

NYC went to Hillary in the primaries, but upstate New York was heavily Sanders

yeah

5k rent a month?

holy shit

i thought it was bad down here

Manhattan isn't for populists

@Swamp Killer yeah, Manhattan is the most expensive place in the USA

maybe only rivaled by Silicon Valley, San Francisco, certain areas in Los Angeles where Hollywood actors live

@Swamp Killer people are willing to pay $1000/month to live in a literal fucking closet in Manhattan

And those areas tend to be deomcrat and "stand" for the poor

maybe even more

@Swamp Killer yeah, like I said, the Democratic Party is run by neoliberals

they're capitalistic, and many on the left HATE the Democratic Party because of that

I find that ironic because the media paints the republican party as a very cpaitalist party run by rednecks

people like The Young Turks want the Democratic Party to go for a more socialistic bent

and the democrats as a peace loving minority loving freedom loving party

they resent the Manhattanite neoliberals dominating the party

So they want to push further left

both socially and economically
