wvParticipantFrom the article in Jewish Currents in the above-tweet:
“….https://jewishcurrents.org/democrats-cant-win-without-the-left/
“…As the Democrats struggle to chart a new path forward, Republicans, too, are debating the party’s post-2020 agenda. As Nicholas Lemann wrote early this month in The New Yorker, the Trump years marked a break with what had long been the Republicans’ “fusionist” paradigm, its unwieldy coalition of Christian evangelicals, hardline nativists, and wealthy free-market fundamentalists. Though Trump largely let conventional corporate Republican administrators shape his administration’s policies, his populist, anti-globalization messaging has, for some, pointed the way toward a new direction for the party. Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who regularly decries the excesses of capitalism, is considered a formidable potential successor to Trump. Even Senator Marco Rubio, once a Tea Party favorite, is now talking about how markets have failed to serve people equitably. This should be a warning to the Democrats: If they retreat to bloodless, centrist messaging and allow Republicans to take up the mantle of economic fairness, they could suffer even further losses among working-class and middle-class voters across racial demographics….”
wvParticipantI wrote an article you can send to your parents! For their own good, Democrats should start seeing leftists as a key part of a coalition to hold onto, rather than as an object of scolding. Otherwise, the party can't win. https://t.co/5DVmu8RGZQ

wvParticipantYeah, Twitter is definitely part of the system. They equate ‘far left’ and ‘Nazis’. They do that false equivalency thing, the system does so well.

Fr: New Deal Strategies, Justice Democrats, Sunrise Movement, Data for Progress Re: What went wrong for Congressional Democrats in 2020Dt: November 10, 2020…Support Black Lives Matter Two months ago, progressive strategists Ian Haney López, law professor at the University of California,Berkeley, and Tory Gavito, President of Way to Win, publicly and privately warned Democrats that Trump’s racist appeals against immigrants and Black Lives Matter polled effectively with a fair number of both African American and Latino voters — but they also demonstrated that a progressive message framing racism as a divide-and-conquer class weapon polled even more effectively.
According to their research, “a majority across the groups we surveyed did not repudiate Trump-style rhetoric as obviously racist and divisive, but instead agreed with it,” they wrote in the New York Times. But, they continued,“There’s a winning message Mr. Biden and his party can deliver that resonates with most Hispanics nomatter how they conceptualize the group’s racial identity… The key is to link racism and class conflict.”Over the last half-century, Republicans have harnessed strategic racism to divide the electorate.
Too often Democrats shy away from conversations about race and keep issues of economic justice and racial justice in separate siloes. Data has consistently shown that an explicit multiracial, populist message mobilizes and persuades voters.
Republican attacks levied at Democrats this cycle based on terms like “defund the police” or “socialism”have become scapegoats for Representatives like Abigail Spanberger, Conor Lamb, and other senior Democrats. Not a single Democrat — progressive or otherwise — argued that Democrats should run primarily on these themes. Moreover, these attacks will never go away, nor will demands for reform from social movements. The attacks are designed to stoke racial resentment, which is core to the GOP’s election strategy. Our party should not feed into it.We remember how controversial the simple statement “Black Lives Matter” was in 2014. In 2016 and2018, Democrats were nervous about being too closely associated with Colin Kaepernick and Black athletes kneeling during the national anthem. The latest choice for Democrats to locate our fear and blame is the slogan from many Black and young activists who marched the streets this summer: “Defund The Police.” Conservative Democrats may change the terms and people we blame and fear year-by-year, but Democrats must take on the Republican Party’s divide-and-conquer racism head-on and not demobilize our own base.This election, the Black youth leading….see link

I still think the Buffalo contest was a disgrace. Clearly, there was cheating.

Mainly because i think the System is fine with Biden. The CIA, NSA, Pentagon, Military, etc. If Bernie had won….i dunno.

vYou may be right, WV. But I think Trump has, ironically, proved that his own conception of the supposedly awesome power of the Deep State is nonsense, and that the Greenwalds of this world were wrong to cast it as a monolith. It if were all powerful, Trump never would have survived the Mueller probe, which we’ve recently learned, was purposely limited and truncated up front . . . nor would he have survived the impeachment process.
No president has been this systematic in his takeover of the Executive branch, with a combination of angry threats, intimidation, and firings, especially of Inspector Generals, which once was unheard of.
You can blunt the impact of an entrenched bureaucracy by killing off the watchdogs, appointing loyalists to manage it, and scaring everyone to death about their own futures. When you have the full support of half the duopoly, and a fanatical cult, egged on by a well-heeled mediaverse, it’s even easier.
I’m getting worried, and I fear the Dems will be all too passive, as is their wont.
WWDJD* in their place? The Dems don’t have that in their DNA.
*What would Deacon Jones do
—————–
Well you and i disagree on what Greenwald is saying. I dont think he is saying the deep-state is totally ‘monolithic.’ But i dont want to quibble over that.
I agree with you on Trump. He has been
the Corporotacracy version of a Clown-Caesar.It will be wonderful to be rid of him. No more daily trump assaults.
Keep your fingers crossed.
How does one govern a nation like this. So many large factions.
And the real-left is so tiny. What did the green party get this time? Two percent again? 75 million for Biden. 70 Million for Trump. 350,000 for Howie.
Now lets say a lot of lefties voted for biden out of a strategic sense. So lets be generous and give the Left another, oh, 5 million. That would be 70 Million Biden-ists. 70 million Trumpists. And 5 or 6 million leftist/progressives.
Not a pretty picture.
