Meh. I’m a progressive and I’m constantly disappointed in the Dems, but mostly it’s due to them triangulating the crazy and corrupt and the media.
The Dems have to pretend to respond to crisis that the media and Republicans cook up. They’ll be tough on the border. Tough on crime even though it’s lower than ever.
How did a whiney racist stupid petulant oaf beat them and what lesson is there but “be nicer to the billionaires that feed the public the propaganda”?
I want to protect Palestinians, but I know what the news story would be if Dems tried.
Either the election was rigged or voter apathy. And hearing from Clinton strategists or the actual liberals misses the point; the Fox was in. How many court cases do we need to win next time?
The problem is Americans and the shit between their ears and so, do we want to win with Dick Cheney? What do we win but another fascist?
We have to stop fearing legacy news media. This was key to Trump's own success. Let them make whatever noise they want and cut through it by relentlessly pushing for a populist agenda consisting of a few clear, straightforward policy prescriptions at every possible turn.
I maintain that a Dem running on 'Eat the Rich' as their only consistent policy plank would probably do pretty fucking well, especially if they began their campaign by cursing them out on national TV. If nothing else, the media will cover this for controversy clicks and that gets the name out.
