Kate Aronoff is a product of the Ivy-equivalent, Swarthmore College and has been published a lot in both the lefty and the leftish media. I don't usually click on videos at online magazine sites but I couldn't believe I was reading the title to her prattling list of demands of what Hillary Clinton must do to "maybe, maybe" get Aronoff's pure and pristine vote. If the idiocy that they've been putting out hadn't already convinced me that most of the lefty magazines were entirely more of a problem than part of the solution, her smug, uninformed, largely irrelevant and just plain stupid video and the decision of those who run In These Times to put it up epoxy-cemented that conclusion into place.
I'd love to see the educational and economic profile of these socialists and radicals at In These Times who figure risking having Donald Trump as president isn't worth the cost of their smug purity posturing. How bad does it have to get for them to take that kind of danger seriously? What an asshole.
I think the argument is a President Trump will teach the nation a lesson and guide them to accept the purity of President Bernie, or somebody younger but just as acceptable.
ReplyDeleteSorta like Bush taught us not to elect Trump, right?
And Nixon taught us not to elect Reagan, Reagan a Bush I, Bush I a Bush II....
ReplyDeleteReally, this is the election that taught me what a bunch of idiots run the lefty media. And In These Times was started by James Weinstein as a beacon of practical leftism, doing the possible instead of demanding the impossible. I think the left has failed largely because its mouthpieces are the kind of people who go to Swarthmore and Berkeley, the Ivies and Ivy equivalent who choked on silver spoons.
