Once again:
Thank you for your generous contributions to the ^fund^. Given the @ Bruce-Wayneification of the world economy it is probably growing faster these days than my pension!
I have no doubt that the voters featured in the article have a dimmer understanding of the intricacies of NAFTA than
@BlueTX's hasty Wikipedia search - but it doesn't matter. They still vote. They might even be willing to vote Democrat in 2020 - but the Party is once again doing a terrible job of addressing their concerns.
And I am not 'turning on my fellow progressives' lol! You boys are hilarious - straight out of Mean Girls. I literally just posted, without commentary, an article which offers interesting insight into the voters that Democrats are ostensibly courting, and how they can do much better - and the usual suspects had an immediate meltdown and threw their toys out of the pram yet again because they sensed it breeched the echo chamber they've worked so hard to maintain in here.
There, there, you have all made it very clear, literally tens of thousands of times since 2016, how self-evident you think your virtues are. But it really isn't me you need to persuade; I would sigh heavily and vote for General Secretary Chernenko just like the rest of you.
I sincerely hope those merry few staffing Joe Biden's
non-existent ground game have come up with something more concrete and much less self-righteous than this to offer.
Instead of sticking both fingers in my ears and shrieking 'BUT DONALD TRUMP IS EVIL' for the one-hundred millionth time, I would be trying to understand why it is that the Democrats are arguably only competitive against unambiguously the worst President since Harding - a boorish, lazy, corrupt, incoherent and catastrophically incompetent lout - because of Covid 19, and even now remain well within the margin of blowing it again. It's as though the the struggling working-class voters in the article I posted, whose interests Democrats take as an article of faith that they better represent, are largely indifferent to a campaign promising that 'nothing fundamentally will change' but if you don't vote for us, you're a racist.
Otherwise, it is a steep and slippery slope from when Treasury and Commerce Secretaries
Jamie Dimon and
Larry Summers announce in January that '
Surprise! The Pantry's Bare', to President Tucker Carlson sweeping to an unprecedented victory in 2024 by combining a left-wing economic agenda that Democrat donors would never allow with
much more successful appeals to the Pennsylvania voters' justified concerns, few remaining sources of pride, and
well-earned contempt for the professional middle class which despises them.
And then the lights go out forever.
You can tell how frivolous and indifferent urban liberals are to winning power and transforming the country, when their response to the very struggling shít-town working-class voters whose interests they insist they represent is denigrating them and running to Wikipedia to refute them, rather than listening and attempting to persuade them.
