Former Everything posted:The Kentucky Democrats sent me a request for a donation today and on facebook shared the Kurt Eichenwald article about how Bernie Sanders would have also lost the GE. This is the same party apparatus that managed to lose a 96-year majority in the House to Republicans, including a Republican who was literally kicked out of the Republican party for being an open racist on social media. Don't give to bad Democrats, give to Keith Ellison.

If anything, truth is more important than ever, but the delivery mechanism for the truth needs to change from "lol you ignorant racist hicks, get woke and CTRL-F Abuela and blow your mind" to something more like "YOU ARE BEING LIED TO". Maybe arrayed around a picture of Sonic the Hedgehog or a big dog or something, I don't know, I don't really speak meme.

GlyphGryph posted:He was one of the people saying Trump was gonna win because Hillary was running such a poo poo campaign, wasn't he? He's condemning them for it, as far as I can tell. That was what I known for. I may have been pro-Hillary from the start, but I am above all else a realist. I had even settled on a 48-52 Senate weeks before. I was not being glib when I said the Democrats are going to continue to be nothing more than not-Republicans. It's all they can be. The various factions who make up the Democrats coalition are not nearly as willing to make the sort of unholy alliances that the those within the GOP make. Evangelicals aren't going to give a drat about Trump cutting Wall Street regulations, much like the business wing aren't going to care what regressive social bullshit Pence shoves through as long as taxes are cut, and regulations are lifted. Things don't work the same way on the left - so the Democrats are never going to develop much of an identity. This "Bernie-wing" taking over is a silly idea because there is no Bernie-wing of the party, and the only thing that ultimately holds the coalition together is disdain for the Republicans. That tends to tick up after a few years of Republicans running the country, so there is not much the party will do other than wait. Hillary may have lost, but people are acting like the entire Democratic establishment was voted out. If Hillary picked the up extra 100k votes in the mid-west, what would be different as far as the party identity goes? The Democratic Party today is very much the same as it was on November 7.

Serf posted:I would be very interested in seeing some articles about how polls were conducted during this last election since the vast majority of them were dead wrong. There are a surprising number of people that think the polling failures were due to a coordinated campaign on the part of Trump supporters to lie about their support to every pollster. I chalked it up to shock at the loss initially, but there are still people out there that genuinely believe that was what caused problems in every state, with every single pollster. I just hope none of the the pollsters themselves are that dumb.

Also, inviting Tulsi Gabbard was probably Bannon's idea of loving with the progressive/Bernie bro base by having one of Bernie's supporters (who has her own issues) showing up and talking to djt. I don't recommend getting too caught up in any personality cult worship, just focus on the actual progressive movement itself.

Venom Snake posted:What's bad about this? Trying to correct lies after theyve already been said and gone around the block a few times is a losing game. You need to be proactive and present a positive alternative to Trump, rather than reacting after the fact. Nobody is motivated by attempts to shame the other guy. Well, hardcore assholes that were already on your side I guess, but then they were already on your side so nobody *new* is motivated by shame. In fact the Democratic Party would probably be better served if it dropped shame from its arsenal altogether and confined its efforts to only trying to provide a positive alternate vision. DaveWoo posted:https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/800807231449169920 If Trump had put forth an infrastructure plan Bernie might have been willing to work with him. Instead Trump put forth a corporate welfare plan with zero provisions for rebuilding failing infrastructure that didn't have a fat payday attached to it. So there's nothing to really work with.

We can either accept that and get in the game of narrative creation, or we can be pendants and be ruled by Trumps for the rest of this planet's dwindling life. We seriously need Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson standing on a stage promising to end all wars and crush global warming for good in his first 100 days as president. Anything short of that, including Bernie Sanders type democratic socialism, will fail.

Yeah, I agree one hundred percent with this. There needs to be something in addition that combats the idea that the Trumps of the world are the only people who care about folks and their problems, though, especially since the next election is likely to be a referendum on Trump's empty promises, but also on Why The gently caress Should We Trust You Assholes Who Completely Ignored Us In 2016. We need a solid answer to that question, and "that was just the Neoliberals, we're the Progressives" isn't going to cut it.
