We need to have siggies too, that’s a crucial part of the forum experience. Especially the little dragon eggs that people have to click for them to hatch.

Honestly they might be at least partly right, though I hate to admit it. The real kingmaker of this election was Comrade Tumor.

Seems like a fair concern to me. Biden is a veteran of the Giustizia e Liberta partisan brigades, after all.

The Trump admin has been doing something like a strategy of tension wrt to BLM as part of their election campaign, as exemplified by the Portland unmarked van incident. The Biden administration will just want it to go away. I think they will start out by putting forward platitudes and “dialogue” the way any president other than Trump would have, but if that doesn’t work then intensified repression is likely on the table. Through both stages, they will probably leverage their support from establishment civil rights leaders like the NAACP and Clyburn.

But wouldn’t moderate voting records be correlated with representing swing districts? Pretty useless statistic if they didn’t control for that.

The legislature required that all submissions feature the motto.

There are actually several good ones, even if they’re the minority. Colorado, Arizona, Alaska, New Mexico, Indiana and arguably Maryland are all good. There are several passable ones, like Ohio, Texas, Tennessee, or South Carolina. Georgia’s is good aesthetically, though not ideologically. Wyoming’s would be good if they removed the seal.

Depends on how you define it. In a strict classical Marxist sense, many affluent suburbanites would indeed be considered proles (coders, for example). Other professions like doctors and lawyers have historically been regarded as “bourgeois.” But there are plenty of sociological works that attempt to define that group in particular. “Professional-managerial class” is a term you see a lot.

The classic definition of class, used by economists and sociologists in the nineteenth century, is a group defined by its relation to production, not by income.

In pretty much all older writing from the days when “bourgeois” was a common term, they are labeled as such.

In Marxist terms, they are generally not wage workers who have their surplus value extracted. They own private practices.
