Oracle posted:Young voters aren't reliable Dem voters, young minority voters are. Start tailoring your (already existing) message to where the votes are. If you call them they will come. The people who already agree with your policies will also come. Stop focusing on the class war stuff and start focusing on the racial aspects of what they've been up to, the sexist aspects of what they've been up to. Its loving all the same people in the end. Nah this is a terrible strategy as we saw in 2016. Minority voters aren't stupid, they will notice that we're giving them lip service while siding with the (mostly white) plutocrats and donor classes against them, and cynically using Republican horribleness as a stick to beat them into voting for us. They will see it, and they will be discouraged and dispirited, and they will just go to work and try to make a little money to feed their families rather than spend a day fighting Republican voter suppression just to cast a vote for Goldman-Sachs to steal from them.

I married into a large Hispanic family (I'm white) and they seem like they could flip GOP pretty easy if the racism got dropped.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Well, all the white racists, for one thing To add some detail: quote:In the first half of the 19th century, some three million Irish emigrated to America, trading a ruling elite of Anglo-Irish Anglicans for one of WASPs. The Irish immigrants were (self-evidently) not Anglo-Saxon; most were not Protestant; and, as far as many of the nativists were concerned, they weren't white, either. Just how, in the years surrounding the Civil War, the Irish evolved from an oppressed, unwelcome social class to become part of a white racial class is the focus of Harvard lecturer Ignatiev's well-researched, intriguing although haphazardly structured book. By mid-century, Irish voting solidarity gave them political power, a power augmented by the brute force of groups descended from the Molly Maguires. With help, the Irish pushed blacks out of the lower-class jobs and neighborhoods they had originally shared. And though many Irish had been oppressed by the Penal Laws, they opposed abolition?even when Daniel O'Connell, "the Liberator," threatened that Irish-Americans who countenanced slavery would be recognized "as Irishmen no longer." The book's structure lacks cohesion: chapters zigzag chronologically and geographically, and Ignatiev's writing is thick with redundancies and overlong digressions. But for the careful reader, he offers much to think about and an important perspective on the American history of race and class. https://www.amazon.com/Irish-Became-White-Routledge-Classics/dp/0415963095 The Irish and Italians "Became white" through a few different mechanisms -- partly wartime military service -- but also to a very large extent the fact that they weren't black. In America, you're either Underclass or Overclass, there's no inbetween.

Seeing us as a bloc is a huge mistake, and catholicism/patriarchy are also big factors tugging many people to the right.

And many will continue to be assimilated via wealth, marriage, or both. Hispanics split along color (lighter/darker), religion, age, and a ton of other stuff that will make them closer to the US in general, split down the middle on politics, or close enough to not matter. But the myth of the "demographics will save us and make the GOP a perpetual rump party, we just need to hold on a bit longer!!" is just too powerful, I guess. The Deus Ex Machina of liberal politics.

Lightning Knight posted:Leftism is inherently about identity politics, in that it is about attempting to forge a solidarity among working class people so that they identify as working class and base their politics around that. When you get down to it, class is just another form of identity. Someone can be poor just like they can be LGBT or a racial minority. So yeah, it is really bizarre to act like "idpol" (in the sense it's normally used) is separate from issues of class. stone cold posted:don’t call me a guy I don't think you're wrong here, but when discussing "Asians" as a demographic it's often important to distinguish by origin country. I'd be curious to see how Asians from origin countries who tend to be well-off and educated differ politically from Asian immigrants from countries that tend to be less well off (if they differ at all). I'd also be curious as to how things end up if you control for education level. I mean, I'm sure that white people would still be a lot more right-wing regardless, but I'd still be curious to see what difference exists (if any).

Edit: forgot the link.quote:The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is making several demands of candidates preparing for the 2018 House elections, according to an internal memo obtained by TYT. The memo dictates policies on campaign spending and sexual harassment, and outlines requirements for Democratic Party “unity.” An email accompanying the memo gives campaigns until Thursday, December 8, to respond. ded redd fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Dec 6, 2017 |

Office Pig posted:"With a wave of left-wing primary challengers seeking office, the memo’s dictates are being seen by some campaign staff as discouraging intraparty debate. One strategist working on a Democratic congressional campaign, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said that barring primary candidates from using tactics that might disadvantage the winner in the general election gives the edge to “corporatist candidates who have super PAC backing.” Those super PACs could carry out such attacks while smaller, grassroots campaigns without super PACs would be unable to respond."

lol they want them to spend 75% of their money on television ads, the candidates might as well ignore them since that isn’t going to help. Also funny in that Tom Perez’s DNC was practicing better strategy in Virginia than the DCCC is. Edit: the sexual harassment training is a mixed bag, it sucks that they don’t seem to be taking it seriously, but it’s a big deal to be pushing it at all. I don’t think the problem is just the candidates though, they need to make sure everyone in these campaigns is getting it. Lightning Knight fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Dec 6, 2017 |

While I am generally in favor of unity after a primary, the memo is vague enough where even an issue debate could be seen as enough to violate the memo. It’s not clear how it will be enforced, if at all. I also don’t think the DCCC should be detailing specific requirements for how money is allocated if it’s not their actual money, although their 75% requirement could also include digital and mail advertising.
