Democrazy posted:What kills me is that it used to be that Dems got elected in purple or red states based on what were called social contract issues. Strong on Social Security, strong on Medicare, strong on the Ag Bill and infrastructure. Social issues, that wasy another story, but you knew where they stood on those social contract issues. Those Dem voters are the exact same ones that quit supporting all that stuff the moment the social contract stopped being whites-only. They are who the Southern Strategy was all about. Even by 30 years ago they were all about how the welfare queens ruined it for everyone.

Just there isn't a silent majority of leftists in Alabama and WV, and probably wouldn't be any more even if someone went back to try to resurrect "The New Deal, but twice as whites-only."

Office Pig posted:That second sentence about ‘smart choices’ raises something of a red flag, however. Not necessarily a 1:1 to something like a work requirement, but not necessarily benign either.

People need to remember that people actually don’t notice anything like the lives of themselves or their friends are at stake, and today’s report and response makes it something junkies like us care about. Nobody gave a gently caress about the leaflets either.

Even if most people don't read up on precisely what Northam is saying right now, they're going to notice when their healthcare is still a shambles in a year. And maybe they'll blame it on the GOP! But it's still a dumb strategy considering there is zero downside to hammering the GOP over this. Northam is a waste and anyone defending him over this is just pathetic and sad.
