Yeah, it’s definitely a powerful metaphor for greed. The image of something constantly starving, never satiated no matter how much it eats, miserable and ravenous and destructive is clearly not something to strive for. I was reading that in some legends Wendigo just grow in proportion to how much they consume, so they never feel less hungry, they just get bigger. Kinda reminds one of how corporations function, with a constant drive to acquire and grow, but they never reach a point of satisfaction, where they’re big enough. They just take and take as much as they’re capable of.

Wendigo

It’s an Algonquin cryptid / monster with an insatiable hunger for human flesh and a love of murder. Generally greedy and evil. Also known to smell bad.

Honors our native heritage and says something about our beloved country’s strength of character.

100% agreed. Change won’t come from within the Democratic party. We will have to force it to change or go around it.

It may have been an impossible task to course-correct. I just think that the primary was our best chance. It’s like we failed to hit the mark but instead of hanging up our weapon we just started shooting ourselves in the foot to prove a point.

You can’t control their strategy, but you can control yours.

I think we’ve seen enough of the DNC now to know what to expect. I don’t think we can count on their promises or their logic. I’m not trying to blame you for Trump’s win, just suggesting that we work together (if we get another chance) to apply pressure at points when it will HELP. I don’t think protest voting during the last general election was the right move. Let’s learn from it instead of insisting it was the right thing to do.

I’d like to earnestly suggest you reevaluate your strategy. Clearly threatening/withholding general election votes hasn’t been successful, and there’s obviously a lot of risk of negative outcomes like Trump winning. I think the general election is just too late in the process for a protest vote to mean anything.

I’m all for showing up and saying something, and I think pressure and threats during primary voting have worked in the past. I think we could have applied a LOT more pressure earlier in the process and might have had a better outcome. Now instead we have the worst possible result for the people of Palestine.

Do you think the message got across to him? Did the DNC learn anything?

If we don’t understand why we failed and change the party accordingly, how will we ever win next time?
