Ok, LDS, you go on believing what you like, I am not terribly concerned with whatever that may be. I would never attempt to convert a 'believer' of any sort.

Exactly. I am very open to coherent arguments. There wasn't one made on that subject.

millzy said: most employees are underpaid because we have high concentrations of profit at the very top of organizations. the standard answer to this problem is that the state of affairs is due to 'market forces'
That may be the standard answer, but let us talk, from an intellectual perspective, and not a retarded pro-capitalist horseshit perspective, about the solution to this problem, which is very simple, and doesn't require me demonizing anyone (such as single mothers), like a stupid fucking asshole.
Here is the solution to the problem of corporate douchebags taking millions of dollars while they drive their company into the ground, etc:
German worker councils, mandated by the government. Any business with a certain number of workers is required to allow those workers a say in all affairs of that business. The board of directors is composed of roughly 50% elected representatives of the workers.
And that my friends, is democracy at work.
Yeah, I have always liked that concept that they use in Germany, that's definitely one part of the equation.
I think it's a great concept. It seems like both sides might agree?

I would too. In fact, in the "Here's Where I Stand On The Issues" thread, I said tariffs and barriers to free trade are actually "Bad, unless corporations hog all the profits from free trade (which is what we see today)".
I think both sides would agree, if the idea were ever presented to them. We could do away with unions also! The TPP has a lot more in it than tariffs though, so maybe I went too far with that comment.

... That we think it is, sure.. more importantly, it's been explained why we think it is, which is more than you can say for your own opinion. 'There are two sides to every coin' is pretty pathetic, especially coming from a guy who claims to believe that 'left - right' politics is a false dichotomy.

Why don't you actually say something productive, instead of attacking us for genuinely agreeing with one another, as if that were some sort of fault.

No, arrogance is providing no evidence for your claim and still considering it valid, as you have done.

No. However, in some circumstances I am asking, 'Do you agree with me? Or do you have evidence to the contrary?', and on these forums, I am rarely provided with any shred of that.

The point is simply that you or BBW claiming CNN is 'establishment' doesn't make it so. As the nickname 'Clinton News Network' implies, many agree. Stating it is 'establishment' is nothing more than an opinion. One of many.
Quote:

Right. Using you as an example of 'liberal' merely helps to strengthen the argument that many liberals are tone deaf. Your arrogance and levels of condescension certainly seem representative of why 'liberals' have lost control of so much of the countries state, local and federal power.
Quote:

Actually, it's just a matter of understanding that not all who identify as 'liberals' or otherwise... agree.
Until 'liberals' understand that not everyone wants what they want (same goes for all political groups), control will continually wander back and forth. One of the advantages of being in the middle, seeing that both sides have things to say that matter to them and actually listening to others gives one pretty clear insight as to how people feel. But objectivity is something it's seems you lack.
In the meantime, I'll continue to feel both sides suck. I don't want everything either side wants. I don't automatically dislike anything either side wants.

Forgetting your condescension... my assessment of your position is accurate. Some of your responses make it clear.
The most amusing part of this discussion is that when some here point to a conservative in the same manner, the circle jerk gang rallies around. When the pointing comes the other way... those same people seem unable to cope.
Funny stuff.

I get that MSNBC is left wing. I used to think CNN was right wing, but when right wingers rejected that, I realized it's because CNN is more establishment (or possibly middle of the road).

CNN is a fucking joke. Cable news as a whole is a joke. I'm left wing as hell but if you think CNN is that much different than fox you're just kidding yourself. May as well be called an entertainment source at this point, because neither of them should be considered credible

Rooting for the establishment candidate regardless of party makes a news source more establishment than liberal, especially when liberals don't even believe CNN represents their views.

If you need to expand your pool to the entire universe of liberals to find one that agrees CNN is liberal, then you're probably wrong that liberals think CNN is liberal.
