I think his point is that republicans are smart enough to try and fool people into thinking we are moving forward even as they gently caress us over. while the dems just shake their head and go “status quo is great! America is great!”

I'm sorry about the confirmation for the liberals in this forum but what I want to know is why people keep expecting the liberal party to stop the other liberal party from doing stuff. It literally boggles the mind lol. Why would they even care about winning elections when their donors are happy either way.

In general, 'Listen, Liberal' by Thomas Frank is a really good piece on the dem party and what the gently caress is wrong with them

all of Frank's stuff is solid, whether it's his interviews on youtube, his essays, or his other books.

he has a way of connecting with readers/audiences without talking down to them, and he also points out that liberal sneering is what helps the dems lose elections.

He also recognizes that much of the across the build failure and loss of power by dems is driven by their own failings.

Even though they like to always shift the blame onto external factors like how the GOP doesn't fight fair.

Are there currently any books about how, while the republicans are the legitimiately menacing and dangerous big bad that wants to wear a skin suit of us while we're still technically alive, the democrats are trying to lure us into their dungeon and drug us into submission for a lifetime of the worst sex we've ever had? Obviously not in those words, and citing news stories and court decisions and media reactions to those? 'Cause I feel like we have a Trumpian (insurmountably vast, constant and undeniably horrific) quantity of material corroborating our grievances against the democratic establishment and their priorities and the outcomes of those priorities, but each terrible new revelation is drowned out by the republicans getting up in the morning and going to work.

Something in the vein of Taibbi and Klein, but faster paced and a more accessible read for liberals who are actually just unbelievably credulous but not necessarily mean-spirited?

weird for being impossible to elect a liberal that Joe manchin ran and won on the following in a 2010 special election

quote:

n Edit
Manchin's campaign ads emphasized his support from labor unions and Cecil Roberts (President of United Mine Workers of America), while criticizing Raese for "putting profits before people,",[28] supporting the elimination of the minimum wage, and supporting the FairTax.[29] Manchin was endorsed by both the AFL-CIO and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.[30] Raese was endorsed from numerous pro-life PACs[31] and Freedom Works.[32] Raese criticized Manchin for supporting House Bill 103, which is similar to Cap and trade.[33]

You’re right. A progressive candidate has no chance of gaining a foothold in these red states. The voters there will run screaming. We must run total assholes instead.

Not confirming Kavanagh is one of the most important votes Manchin could have made for his entire career. The fact that some of the #resistance is acting like he made a power move that was necessary rather than further entrenching the GOP shows how ineffectual their astroturfed movement really is at anything other than playing interference for the republicans.
