The $800 isn�t the problem here. I don�t know how many restaurant workers there are in LA but given it�s city of like 8 million people, there�s probably more then 4,000 people that qualify for and desperately need all the help they can get

mila kunis: Jun 10, 2011

this was good. the democrats are completely not up to the task for this historical moment

https://newleftreview.org/issues/ii126/articles/mike-davis-trench-warfare

quote:

The one-size-fits-all suburban template that was used by the Biden campaign in Texas and almost everywhere else ignored the consensus view of veteran campaign strategists from both parties that the real key to swinging the state is the mobilization of the �sleeping� Latino majority in South Texas, especially in the seven major border counties where 90 per cent of the population is of Mexican origin

[...]

However when the fog of battle dissipated, Democrats were stunned to discover that a high turnout had instead propelled a Trump surge along the border. In the three Rio Grande Valley counties (the agricultural corridor from Brownsville to Rio Grande City) which Clinton had carried by 40 per cent, Biden harvested a margin of only 15 per cent. More than half of the population of Starr County, an ancient battlefield of the Texas farmworkers movement, lives in poverty yet Trump won 47 per cent of the vote, an incredible gain of 28 per cent since 2016. Further up river he actually flipped 82 per cent Latino Val Verde County (Del Rio) as well as Zapata County, which no Republican has won since the end of Reconstruction.

[...]

On the other side of the ledger, there was a spectacular wave of support in South Texas for Bernie Sanders during the March �Super-Tuesday� primary. After the withdrawal of San Antonio�s favourite son Juli�n Castro from the race at the beginning of January (he immediately endorsed Elizabeth Warren), rank-and-file tejano Democrats rallied to Sanders. With 200 young Latino organizers working full-time for his national campaign and helping shape its strategy, Sanders was able to speak to the Valley communities with a passionately informed voice. As was the case with the Nevada caucuses in February, radicalized Latino youth and their working-class families embraced his platform of universal healthcare, free public higher education, a $15 minimum wage, and pathways to citizenship for undocumented populations.

[...]

Biden�s nomination and Cuellar�s narrow victory were twin disappointments that deflated the enthusiasm of Sanders� voters, ratifying the widespread perception that centrist Democrats give no priority to fighting for the interests of the Border working class.

quote:

But it�s indisputable that Trump succeeded in winning over significant numbers of former Obama voters, many of them union members, in rustbelt counties that were organized by the cio in the 1930s and were for generations rock solid Democratic. This was alarming since it seemed to correspond to the electoral success that far-right populist parties in Europe have enjoyed in similarly depressed economies such as the north of England, the French Nord, Tuscany, and eastern Germany. And because so many of these Trump voters had been supporters of the first Black president, it was not obvious that they were motivated by the same kind of racism that infused the northern Wallace vote in 1968 and produced so many Reagan Democrats in 1980.

[...]

The continuing Democratic deficit relative to 2012, however, remains more a Trump vote than a Republican vote. Election returns in these counties and their core cities reveal much higher levels of support for local Democratic candidates and their pro-union positions than for Biden. In light of Clinton�s debacle he was more attentive to such places, but no better prepared to answer the question that every rank-and-file Democrat or former Democrat in the older industrial states has been asking for more than a generation: �What will you do to increase job opportunities and economic security here in Erie (or Laredo or Camden or Wilkes�Barre and so on)?� �Millions of green energy jobs��Biden�s mantra�is an abstraction that utterly fails to connect to the concrete circumstances of people like the locomotive builders laid off after their 2019 strike against ge in Erie or to the J. C. Penney salespeople in Brooklyn thrown out into the street in late September after Amazon drove the famed department chain into bankruptcy. A whole generation of first-in-the-family college graduates�now working as peons for Uber or delivering groceries for Amazon�are unlikely to imagine their future as solar panel installers or software technicians for an otherwise fully automated trucking company. For every �green power� job created, automation and depressed demand will probably dispose of five or ten traditional jobs.

Real solutions demand geographically targeted public investment, control over capital flight and financial outflows, regional economic planning, and, above all, a massive expansion of public employment and public ownership. This is a road that few elected Democrats apart from the open socialists in the �Squad� are prepared to go down or even consider, no matter how much it corresponds to needs at the grassroots. In fairness to mainstream American liberals, however, neither the British Labour Party nor the big continental social-democratic parties have found the will to forcefully address similar questions of regional economic decline and high, structurally consolidated levels of youth un- and under-employment.

quote:

If Reagan came to power aligned with a historic anti-union offensive led by the Business Roundtable�a coalition of Fortune 500 corporations�Trump came to the White House thanks to the love of Jesus and a motley crew of what Sam Farber refers to as �lumpen capitalists.�

In addition to family dynasties, mainly based on oil wealth like the Kochs, who have been around since the days of Goldwater and the John Birch Society, Trump�s key allies are post-industrial robber barons from hinterland places like Grand Rapids, Wichita, Little Rock and Tulsa, whose fortunes derive from real estate, private equity, casinos, and services ranging from private armies to chain usury.

quote:

But suburbs are no longer the big story, at least from the standpoint of geographers and political sociologists. �Despite the common perception that the us has become a �suburban nation��, write Laura Taylor and Patrick Hurley, �exurbia has emerged as the dominant settlement pattern across the country, characterized by different patterns of development and lifestyle expectations from cities, towns, and suburbs, with houses in scenic, natural areas on relatively large acreages.�

[...]

Since then exurbs, enabled by platform capitalism and virtual commuting, have more than tripled in population to 34 million, and Bain & Company�s Macro Trends Group projects that they will surpass the urban centre population within the next generation.

[...]

Despite syndicated columnist and sprawl aficionado David Brooks�s startling 2017 prediction that the exurbs would someday become the new �Democratic heartland�, the opposite seems to be the case. Although there are some solidly blue exurbs�for instance, Buncombe County (Asheville), nc and Mendocino County, ca�they remain exceptional. Trump won the exurban vote (222 counties) by a whopping 17 per cent in 2016, a majority that Biden is unlikely to have eroded.

quote:

55 million may be a decent approximation of the hardcore component of his 73 million votes.footnote29 But who are the other 18 million Trump voters, the �softcore� who annulled a Democratic landslide? A Pew survey of registered voters conducted in the second week of October revealed that the top issue was the economy (35 per cent), followed by racial inequality (20 per cent), the pandemic (17 per cent), crime and safety (11 per cent) and the Affordable Care Act (11 per cent).

[...]

presenting Biden as the authentic jobs candidate who would revive the economy through an aggressive national plan to contain the pandemic and ensure safe working conditions by a full use of federal power to produce ppe and ratchet up workplace inspections. He was given multiple opportunities to take the offensive and win the jobs vote. The first was in April and May when tens of thousands of healthcare and Amazon workers went into the streets to protest dangerous working conditions. Both Sanders and Warren cheered the strikes and offered supportive legislation, but Biden remained silent in his basement in Delaware. After maskless Memorial Day celebrations egged on by Trump stoked infections to record levels, he had an opportunity to steal the Republicans� pants and launch an ad campaign about the White House�s threat to the recovery. He didn�t.

[...]

Most importantly, the debates on the stimulus bills should have unleashed grassroots actions by unions and community organizations in support of the Democratic proposals. Instead Pelosi locked progressives out of the discussion and conducted private negotiations with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin. By October millions of people were desperately waiting for a new relief package to pay rents, mortgages and doctors� bills, but Pelosi refused to accept the $2 trillion package offered at the last minute by the White House

[...]

This would have given both Biden and Democratic Senate candidates powerful ammunition to use in the final exchange of fire. Instead Pelosi and the leadership �took a gamble and assumed that failed negotiations would further hobble the Republicans at the polls and doom Trump�s reelection prospects, even if it meant risking no deal at all. This left millions in the lurch, exposed their own cynicism, and ultimately allowed Trump to feign more interest in providing economic relief than the Democrats.�footnote30 Millions of worried voters as a result were presented with a zero-sum choice that should never have been necessary.

[...]

Galston, of course, doesn�t factor in the future of economic growth or the scenario of a stagnant economy with high levels of structural unemployment and poverty�a nightmare that weighed heavily upon the minds of millions of voters in early November and, as I have suggested, motivated many of them to hold their noses and cast ballots for Trump
