evilweasel posted:I would be interested in someone being able to explain how Brown did what he did, because he seems to be the model for a Good Red State Senator, but I don't know how he was able to do it. I don't think you can point to him and just be like "duh, leftists will win" because he's not that leftist and because you've got the obvious counterexample of Gillum (and figuring out wtf happened in Florida is another key issue). My strategy isn't just "go left," though. It's never been that. It's, "The Dems will do better in the Midwest overall if they inject more economic populism into their campaigns." That's clearly something Brown has done, not just this year but for quite a long time. Vox put it surprisingly well yesterday: quote:Trump’s actual strategy of pursuing a largely orthodox, largely hard-right economic policy agenda meant he and Brown were perennially at odds, but it fundamentally left the field clear for Brown to own his longtime brand as a working-class champion. In his ads, he championed the dignity of work, leaned into his reputation for wrinkled suits, and attacked Renacci’s record on health care, taxes, and trade.

Sorry, you'll have to either scroll past people you don't like making posts or put them on ignore. No one will force you to actually read or respond to them.

Anyway I think it's too little too late for Trump to try to gently caress with Mueller. People within the country still largely support his probe, he's apparently very close to finishing and presenting his findings to congress and there's an incoming Democratic house that could just subpoena him and have him present his findings if he's actually fired. Glad to see Sessions and his blatant racism go even though he's getting replaced by some other stupid possibly less judicially qualified Trump sycophant. Time will tell if this becomes a better with the devil you knew type situation or not. e: You know what better just to stick to the issues. I'm just not that into shitposting what can I say.

Majorian posted:The "screeching" began when you objected to me saying that left-Dems should be prepared to take over the party from the Succ-Dems. It's always nice when you telegraph how shook you are, Fulchrum. Yes, I'm really scared that the people who can't win a primary, and take pride in that, will somehow take over the party. Grow the gently caress up. If your plan hinges on just whining and screaming that Pelosi is a meany meanpants because she said capitalism exists, and hope that someohow causes a radical shift in party leadership not seen in US politics ever, you're an idiot.

That's clearly something Brown has done, not just this year but for quite a long time. Vox put it surprisingly well yesterday: Did anyone else try this approach, and did it work? One thing I don't get is how Corday got beaten badly while Brown won, despite Corday being the face of wall street regulation in favor of poor people.
