VitalSigns posted:Nah It's both dumb and bad and also illustrative of a worthwhile point. G&T is generally very strongly leftist and mostly writes stuff about why we need more marxism in America. His take on "leftist foreign policy" as pollyanish "war is bad" is nonsense BUT he is correct that it's nonsense a lot of people believe and that the left wing establishment (such as it is) does little to counter. The underlying valid point is that left wingers need to do a better job of forcefully articulating non-interference as an ideal and a policy goal. It's not hard to do -- Prime Directive, "first do no harm," etc. -- but the left needs to actively seize that policy ground and make articles like this impossible to write.

"What, all the Republican voters who don't like Trump are going to start voting for Democrats?" I mean... yeah. Yes, they are. They already did - Democrats made fairly significant gains in white suburbs during the midterm elections. Democrats also significantly increased their margins among white women, particularly college educated. Theoretically those could have ALL been previously non-voters, but it's much more likely that the Republican party is losing its ability to compete for white women voters. edit: this is also probably why any primary challenge to Trump will fail, so.

Fritz Coldcockin posted:You assume that a) the Republicans in the Senate are smart enough to see this, b) that they give a poo poo about "damage to the brand", because no evidence suggests that a majority of them do at this point, and c) that they will even think it's worth the short-term political fallout to hop on board the impeachment train. I know "nothing matters" is cool, but Trump's remaining base is so insignificant that I don't see how you think it's this monolithic entity that has the power to primary anyone

No I get what you're saying but you, same as other Progressives, still don't have an easy answer for what's the way we should handle things? Clearly "guns a'blazin" hasn't worked out so well for the countries we choose to stream into. What works better? I'm not saying I know, I'm pointing out that we all need to be actively thinking about what the answer ought to be.
