I liked it so much I saved a copy on my computer! Amazing how often I am in agreement with him.

Fairly baffling, especially the idea that feminism was killed off by ... Roe vs Wade?

Also wouldn't 1994 (NAFTA) be a more appropriate date to complain about the Democrat's acceptance of globalisation? What even happened in 2002 related to globalisation?

What's a 'signture'?

Whatever qualms you may have with my 'signture', rest assured that it isn't half as delusional as thinking that Bernie Sanders has any chance of winning the Democratic Party primary.

Freedom Signature obviously (normal).

Especially since the party went from a base like this:

The Democratic Party has done and continues to do more for all of those groups than any other organization in the United States.

Interesting that you think that one must believe that a candidate will win in order to give them support.

Especially ironic coming from a Green/Socialist Worker voter.

At 399x617, it's obnoxiously large for a forum signature. HI.

Sure, if by 'do more', you mean 'token gestures that do little that they then undermine at every turn the second they can get away with it'.

.... No, that's obviously not what I mean.

I have better things to do than list all the acts that Democratic Presidents and Congresses have passed that achieved the goals of these movements (and you'd probably dismiss things like the Voting Rights Act or the Clean Air Act or favorable gay rights and women's rights rulings made by Democrat-appointed judges as bourgeois token gestures or whatever anyway), but the causes of the labor movement, the environmental movement, the civil rights movement, the gay rights movement, etc. have all undoubtedly been advanced by the Democratic Party, whether through legislation or judicial rulings or executive action. The idea that feminist causes have been undermined at every opportunity by the Democratic Party since 1973, for example, is absolutely absurd and ahistorical, and the same is true of the rest of those movements.

The comic evidences an absolutist view of politics where anything that is not an absolute panacea is somehow a betrayal, but that's just not how things are work. Politics are incremental and slow, and progress has been incremental and slow, but the Democratic Party is responsible for a lot of it. It's far from perfect, but to act like it's killed all these movements that it has actually concretely helped is completely ignorant of reality and history.

I'm not always a Chomsky fan, but he had an excellent point when he pointed out the Democratic Party's de facto role in the two-party system of capturing and watering down any grassroots activist movements.

I can count at least three of those supposedly "dead" movements that are still strong and vibrant.

Feminism (in a perverted, capitalism-friendly form that has been completely stripped of its initial class character) technically alive, but I'd take Kollontai over Sarkeesian any day.
