The GOP of Lincoln, a northern based party is light years apart from the GOP of late 70s and 70s dominated by Southern segregationist. Early pols like Reagan, Bush did the wink and dog whistles until Trump just pulled down the curtains and it became a white supremacist party

As well as African Americans who were the target of the antiwoke crusade, remember war against DEI & affirmative action. The most loyal base being thrown under the bus. Goodluck with that. This is why Bernie flopped never trusted by African Americans who felt he never had their interests at heart

The caveat is that this anti woke hysteria was especially targeted at African Americans, rage against DEI & affirmative action. Try winning without African Americans vote. Thats why Bernie flopped, try to exclude the Democrats most loyal base.

The same arguments against the Dem left were similar to arguments against Obama, black, antiwar,socialist & Muslim. He would by exciting the electorate and creating new coalition. An exciting left dem politician who can excite but keep the democrats most loyal supporters (black people) CAN

There were many so-called centrist pundits like you telling MLK that he shouldn't organize the Civil Rights protests because he would be branded as rabble rousers &trouble makers, but wait patiently because the Bull Conners would eventually see the errors of their way

This is a straw man argument. No serious organization on the left have identified themselves as Antifa. Non entities making tongue in cheek jokes can't be used as serious justification of MAGAs attempting to create enemies on the left for anyone protesting their actions.

The difference is that the mainstream media , Politics & CNN especially was almost full time in its coverage of a Potus who even on his worst days was never as incoherent as this bleach drinking, windmill & shark gibberish spouter

Is as if you believe that people didn't live through that time period. The lies told by the Bush Administration are documented in numerous books. It's crazy that you try to re- litigate this. But being a part of the group that promoted this unjust war you are trying to rewrite history

Gosh, because the effects of COVID new virus were not fully known, so people erred on the side of caution . Enclosed spaces, especially with AC, were thought to be most risky known . Open spaces where demonstrations took place less risky

Comparing the American war against the Japanese to Israel war of extermination against Palestinians is grotesque. Dropping the 2nd bomb on Nagasaki could be considered genocide but not the entire war against the Japanese

Majority of dem. voters pick candidate you don't like. You have a temper tantrum. This is how we got Trump twice , they didn't like Hilary / Kamala. Good luck with Vance. Maybe he will have good policies for Trans people . The Muslim voters in Michigan are sure liking Trumps Isreali policies now

In 2026 & 2028 election, all of this will be immaterial. The backlash against Trumpism, centrism, plutocrats , billionaire class, and supporters of genocide will be so intense. That's why centrist democrats should make alliances with the likes of AOCs& Mamdanis in order to ride this tiger 🐅

Can a Southern govnor appeal to the most loyal democratic base , black women ? and also to young voters with his cowardice on genocide in Gaza. 2028 Elections will be similar to 2008 , expect an unconventional candidate like Obama in 08, black man with a Muslim name beating the centrist choice

Taking advice from Tom, Cheney & and Centrists won't make democrats win. Centrist supported the Vietnam wars, Iraqi War, were not extremely supportive of civil rights legislation .

But only language by one side to be policed but racist language by Trump, Randy Fines , Laser lady, etc, is ok, and the American electorate voted them in so guess Merica and centrist are ok with racist language

Wow, what a weak argument. Isreal is boiling the frog in the pot, slowly knowing people like you will always say it's not genocide while it achieves its goals. Isreali politicians have said they want all Gazans gone. Isn't that genocide

Or what about a president who lied about WMD resulting in war which you cheered for & supported resulting in thousands of deaths, trillion of dollars in exp plus destabilization of a region

Is it your job to regurgitate bad faith arguments? No context given. Everyone can be stenographer, no need for journalists therefore maybe you can be replaced by AI. Same thing your forerunner did during the civil rights movement , regurgitate segregationists

Just one thing, Tom, I'm not saying you are wrong, but I never hear anybody make the same argument about the Isreali flag . I wonder why ?
