  1. To pundits like Jason (and pretty much all US pundits) it’s a tautology. Americans cannot be oligarchs by definition—its a term only reserved for unseemly foreigners whose large sums of wealth are illegitimate unlike our multibillionaires who are all bootstrapping philanthropists

  2. anyway these are the revolving door PR hacks MSNBC has on to talk politics under the banner of "former Obama campaign manager"

    David Plouffe: Our mandate in KSA mirrors the government's ambitions: women mobility, Saudization while leveraging technology to have impact

  7. lol Biden tanked of course he’s gonna cast aspersions on the ultimate results. He won’t win any of them. Trump-esque

  8. Friendly reminder you can dunk on how shitty & corrupt US democracy is without comparing it to a poor country in the global south. US doesnt need to be “like” another country to be bad, what’s happening is consistent w/ a system long plagued w/ racism, arbitrariness & suppression

  9. lol Chris Mathews is suddenly concerned with Iowa First being “voter suppression” and racist a fear he discovered all of ten mins ago

    I may not have a PhD (yet!) but I DO have the good sense of knowing what makes for Oligarchy. Anyone caping for a BILLIONAIRE (with a media company) able to buy endless ads & influence party rules halfway through is PRECISELY a perpetuator of the corrupt system--ie an Oligarch!

  12. Having 60 billion dollars and trying to buy an election doesn’t make you an oligarch, ok

  14. When Warren said the triangle shirtwaist factory was the result of “corruption” I was so bumfuzzled. Everything the owners did was perfectly legal, they didn’t bribe inspectors or pay to have the laws changed. There was no law & there was no law b/c of capitalism not corruption

  15. Both Warren and Sanders (and pretty much all the candidates) evoke “corruption” but Warren uses it as her primary moral framing and i think it’s a bit underwhelming because “corruption” implies a series of moral failings rather than a system one can existentially change

  16. I don’t know, maybe the whole “corruption” frame is sort of confusing and the idea that capitalism has simply lost its way and has been tainted by monopolization and needs to be redeemed and restored to some glorious Capitalist Age just isnt a very compelling or coherent argument

  17. And, of course, a total erasing of “foreign policy” differences, which never matter because liberal imperialism is seen as an axiomatic good

  18. This article attempts to boost Warren by saying she’s existentially different than Sanders by framing her as a good govt patriot simply playing Capitalism Cop (complete w/ obligatory plug of strident anti-socialist Matt Stoller) but one comes away confused what this really means.

  19. Hey another Inexplicable Republican Best Friend, just super concerned with helping out democrats. No ideological interest in the primary at all—just really wants to help out liberals
