Dem Post Mortem

Redistributing wealth from capital to labour is a pretty important function of left-wing governments, and it should be highly popular in a country with extreme inequality, but the Dems don't want to be that party.

They just AREN'T that party. It's always bread and circuses with them, and they forget to bring the bread about 90% of the time. Obama was popular in part because he gave the impression of having met normal American citizens before.

Wherever Republicans and the media take the conversation, the Democrats follow, taking every piece of bait.

That's why I believe they should have stopped pulling punches and attacked Rump head-on, telling it like it is, calling her opponent what he is. Even Kami knew he couldn't handle that., but she had to take the high road. Someone convinced her that overpowering a 310-lb lump of ugly fat would be unseemly for a lady. Or something like that.

And that would indeed have pissed off a lot of Americans. There are plenty of US citizens who HATE seeing a man publically disparaged by a woman, for any reason. But that's all the more reason why we cannot allow these people to steer the ship. We know exactly what kind of society they'll build if they are in charge, and it isn't tolerable to any thinking person with a conscience.

I don’t think it’s hypothetical any more. We had our chance.
It would have REALLY pissed off millions of Trumpsucking dullards, for Trump to have been righteously shamed in public. But the thing that would truly be pissing them off, would have been showing their emperor to be naked. And that nakedness would have been the truth, and it would have prevailed. Perhaps not in this election cycle, but it would have hastened the backswing of the pendulum that currently holds us on the threshold of irreversible fascism.

There is a blind spot in the Democrats' political strategy: they don't fight for workers' rights and they don't shift wealth from billionaires to workers. Redistributing wealth from capital to labour is a pretty important function of left-wing governments, and it should be highly popular in a country with extreme inequality, but the Dems don't want to be that party.

Look at how those left wing governments actually end up faring--the standard of living for the average person is generally a bit lower.

I think he genuinely believes this to be axiomatic.

Marked off most of my Loren Pechtel bingo card with this one:
  • Incoherent one line response.
  • Telling me what I will see if I look at something.
  • Confidently incorrect.
  • Hit-and-run comment. Loren cannot - and will not even try to - substantiate this claim with data or methodology. At most we might get a link that doesn't even support this ridiculous claim.
