The debate that needs to be had is not about how to propagandize white working class voters but how to force dem politicians to be chaste on the issue of income inequality, ie DOJ enforcement of criminal law and monopoly law.

There is no convincing these people with words. You’ve got to change the economy so that it stops leaving people behind in order to create an oligarchy. The way to do that isforcibly taking back political power from the oligarchy as happened at the end of the guilded age.

The tone and context of basically all your posting is that campaigns (and their associated comms strategies) are hugely important when the evidence appears to be that they matter either very little or not at all.

The new right is a function of an exploitative plutocracy. Its demographic. 1/

I think you know the answer to this question. Tax policy was always a Faustian bargain: I get to be rich and pretend to care about whiteness, you get to be poor but can at least condescend to “welfare queens.” Now that ethnic cleansing is the explicit platform, who cares about taxes.

I got “all the stores are closed.” Laurel/Yanni.

Poor JD. Does he know Trump got the first turn on the Curvy Couch?

Turns out uneducated white people appreciate the partisan culture war ramifications of demographic change a lot more than previously thought…

I just hope Roger Ailes doesn’t form a cable news network and various related silos for conservative ideas that cut them off from mainstream journalism. I don’t see how the right wing could survive not having a voice on CNN and CBS/ABC/NBC.

Sure it’s risky to abandon Twitter in search of a better long term option, but it’s riskier to stay and basically become the online version of Alan Colmes.

So by this logic, we should all be signing up for Truth Social and booking appearances on Newsmax and OAN? The power of left leaning influencers is their ability to reach large audiences, not their proximity to or engagement with bad faith actors.

Danny Westneats latest grift bait reminded me of you. I need withering parody of his stupid ass in cartoon format plz.

I’m Danny Westneat. Just an all around nice guy with reasonable concerns about homeless people and not at all a shill for wealthy downtown real estate interests who think my audience is far too uninformed to see through my upscale KOMO shtick…

When you have a tiger on a leash, you gotta keep feeding it fresh meat, lest it get ideas about another nearby food source.

You’d love state court warrants. Training and experience, me conduct investigation in which probable cause for someone steal cookie. Because cookie thief have cell phone, need to look in cell phone. Probably help find cookies. Training and experience.

It’s not that politicians aren’t listening to consultants, it’s that continued sorting of voters based on race and class has made it more optimal for democrats to focus on base turnout as opposed to chasing white rural votes. That being said, still agree Dems should have gone down swinging in 04…
