lol i just remembered that voter safari some centrist morons did after 2016. their hypothesis was that most americans wanted compromise. what they found is that most people where highly partisan and just wanted to beat the other side, which was quite disheartening for them. also lots of support for leftists policies. in the end they basically ignored all of their evidence and went with their original conclusion that americans just want compromise i went looking for it, its even worse than i remembered "At the Labor Temple Lounge in Eau Claire, nine gruff, tough-looking union men sat around a table. One had the acronym of his guild, the Laborers International Union of North America, tattooed on a bulging bicep. The men pinned the blame for most of their problems squarely on Republicans, from Trump to Governor Scott Walker. School funding, the minimum wage, college debt, income inequality, gerrymandering, health care, union rights: It was all, in their view, the GOP’s fault. A member of the bricklayers’ union lamented Walker’s cuts to public services: “If we can’t help each other,” he said, “what are we, a pack of wolves—we eat the weakest one? It’s shameful.” But their negativity toward Republicans didn’t translate to rosy feelings for the Democrats, who, they said, too frequently ignored working-class people. And some of the blame, they said, fell on their fellow workers, many of whom supported Republicans against their own interests. “The membership”—the union rank-and-file—“voted for these Republicans because of them drat guns,” a Laborers Union official said. “You cannot push it out of their head. A lot of ‘em loved it when Walker kicked our rear end.” Debriefing after this particular group, the Third Way listeners said they found the union men demoralizing. “I feel like they can’t see their way out,” Hale said. “They were very negative,” Paul Neaville, another researcher, concurred. They were so fixated on blaming Republicans, Hale fretted. “It was very us-and-them.” https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/10/on-safari-in-trumps-america/543288/ oh and ofc the "study" was done by third way babypolis has issued a correction as of 16:57 on Jul 11, 2019 |

In high school (like 1998, maybe) my civics teacher made us read The Disuniting of America and was really upset that we universally hated it and that one student explicitly compared the author to Hitler.

His political career was bought by criminals who he was in the pocket of for years, then immediately used nukes when he found out about them, promises unions everything during his re-election campaign and then gave them absolutely nothing. he was honestly a snivelling little loser who happened to inherit FDR’s good will e: even in his personal life! he begged and pleaded the girl he had a crush on in high school to marry him for 20 years and she finally relented when he became VP Calico Heart has issued a correction as of 17:01 on Jul 13, 2019 |

that time when less than 50,000 people in NYC lost power and the media breathlessly reported on it like it was the most important story in the world even though at the same time more than twice that many people in Louisiana had lost power and they got far less coverage. oh wait that's right now lol

Adolph Reed in 1996 posted:In Chicago, for instance, we’ve gotten a foretaste of the new breed of foundation-hatched black communitarian voices; one of them, a smooth Harvard lawyer with impeccable do-good credentials and vacuous-to-repressive neoliberal politics, has won a state senate seat on a base mainly in the liberal foundation and development worlds. His fundamentally bootstrap line was softened by a patina of the rhetoric of authentic community, talk about meeting in kitchens, small-scale solutions to social problems, and the predictable elevation of process over program — the point where identity politics converges with old-fashioned middle-class reform in favoring form over substance. I suspect that his ilk is the wave of the future in U.S. black politics, as in Haiti and wherever else the International Monetary Fund has sway. So far the black activist response hasn’t been up to the challenge. We have to do better.
