As a Dirtbag Leftist (who was originally a Christian Conservative, then a Libertarian), I resemble this remark!
"are making inroads with these guys by showing up with genuinely held beliefs and ideologically coherent politics while the Democratic party is busy doing… well, here's how the NYT described it:"
🤦♂️ *Oy, Vey*! Is the Corporate Clinton Neoliberal Democratic Party congenitally incapable of NOT forming a circular firing squad?
Is their smug, half-smart elitism just so inbred they can't see how alienating they are not just to us Rebel Scum, but to the very people they're trying to win back?
Are they blind, or just So Fucking Arrogant they Don't Get What They're Doing WRONG???
The fundmentally believe that most people are dumb and only really respond to the aesthetics of messaging. Which they need to believe because they cant reconcile the idea that their politics and economic theory is wrong
The kind of Roosevelt Democrat/Eisenhower Republican "That Comminist!" (sp.) Bernie Sanders pushes for, and with The Squad largely in his corner—but which the rest of the Democratic Party seem to hate worse than they hate Trump?
Or the kind I associate with rotten-to-the-core soul of Neoliberalism, which pays lip service to "plurality" and "equality", but is really nothing more than American Exceptionalism, only without the Social Safety Net—and which is willing to jettison every principle it ever claimed to hold for a percent of a percent on a poll?
