The republican party doesn't have a single unitary voice, they have extremists who push the boundaries and then establishment types who clean up on local spots

Also I wouldn't say the democrats really tried running any type of campaign in 2016

Given how much bitching I heard about "identity politics" on this here board following the election, I don't think the problem was pushing pluralism with insufficient sincerity.

Black people can't be socialists. Being a socialist requires you to identify with class above all else. Blacks will always default to race and religion, because it is the safest support network for them.

That's why Bernie lost. He had too much faith in the goodness of man.

I'm mostly worried about handing the reigns over to the people who oversaw the absolute destruction of the party at the national level and then went on to lose to Trump, who will undo everything we managed at the Federal level, because they are worried about dumbass poo poo like going high and trying to convince GOPers to vote for them

I think Perez is fine in a vacuum but this isn't a normal chair election and it's 99% symbolic and poo poo is going to get hairy in a hurry if Ellison is rejected

I get what your saying about solidarity based on race/religion but that's pretty loving wild to say they can't be socialists. Bizarre, can you elaborate?

(continuing on my prev post) You can have plenty of campaign/lobbying institutions that push for a single issue without having to structure your whole party around it

For instance, pro-life across america puts up their billboards everywhere about how abortion is murder and baby has heartbeat after 18 days!!, and there's no response from liberals/the left to people who live in the places they target. Over time, you get people who might be fine with the status quo who call themselves pro life because they don't know anything about trimester regulations/fetal viability and think of abortion as doctors are killing fully formed babies a day away from birth.

You could have extremists advertise that abortion is totally wicked awesome, and then liberals put up a more measured message about choice. The problem is that nobody does either and the establishment has just given up on funding for messaging in many parts of the country.

Both campaigns have been maintaining all along that they had the votes to win, and basically all prognostications aside from the actual voting are just echoes and re-echoes of those claims.

I like how Bernie fans are the ones crying and stomping their feet when that's exactly what the party did by pushing forward Perez, crying and stomping their feet that the progressive wing would dare to try and have any real representation whatsoever in the party.

If Black people want to foster a just society and stop the widespread acceptance of negative stereotypes, then maybe they shouldn't have stolen the nomination from Bernie.

There was literally no reason for him to run. If Ellison and Perez will do the same then there is literally no valid reason to have somebody run who doesn't represent the sanders wing to some degree. And don't give me that poo poo about labor liking him, Ellison got plenty of union endorsements too.

If you think identity politics needs to be intersectional with class, I agree with you. But making statements about "blacks can't be socialists" and in effect shaming them for race solidarity is dumb, racist, and unhelpful.

No but you see, having progressives with even having a sliver of power is obviously equivalent to 'acceleracionism'.

I don't either but I am still pessimistic. I keep going and keep applying pressure but I doubt others will all throughout 2017 and well into 2018. And a strong showing by republicans next year will utterly demolish the party

Senate must miraculously turn blue and house has to be somehow be wrestled away from republican control.

Edit: lack of sleep from newborn made democrats still had control of a chamber. :wrong:
