im not gonna be popular here...I agree with Biden :mjgrin:

The vast majority of dem wins in 2018 were normal ass democrats talking about normal ass local issues. Instead of focusing on issues Americans are concerned about, democrats decided to talk about the ludicrous Green New Deal, followed by various skirmishes about various other issues before immigration took all focus from everything. The debate spent next to no time talking about tariffs or the trade war - issues people in the midwest are focused on. Same with flooding.

Not saying we should ignore immigration - just put it in its proper context. Democrats need to expand beyond promising magic to voters and promising to raise taxes.

Chris Hedges is my guy so thanks for putting me up on this. I will read it eventually.
You read America The Farewell Tour?

I read it on an international flight earlier this year. People on the plane were curious at the cover. Hedges got some fukked up interviews in that book man m. De-industrialized America is so screwed over.

Promises of magic to voters? How about college educated l, suburban, whites women say the tea leaves of birth control and opted against the Republican Party? Either they can go stand with the baby torturers, or they can watch their millionaire muses get a depressing 2% tax.

No not yet. I've read Empire of Illusion and Days of Destruction Days of Revolt. And I used to read his Truthdig column.
