The Culture War discourse is annoyingly strong IMO the Dem establishment figured out how to weaponize it in bad faith and society as a whole hasn't really figured out what to do about that People generally fall into five camps: 1) you genuinely dislike gay or trans people and are tired of seeing nonwhite people on TV, and you naturally become a chud 2) you are earnestly a bad-faith lib and make social-justice arguments when it helps your team but, eg, wonder aloud about the "timing" of any sexual-assault allegation against a Dem (Biden stans are largely in this category) 3) you are so dedicated to the cause of social justice that you're willing to give anyone using its verbiage the benefit of the doubt, across the board, and you naturally become a lib (Warrenites and some KHive are in this one) 4) you understand that some idpol is upper-class excuse-making but don't have the politics to distinguish between good and bad faith, and you either become a chud or a no-war-but-class-war guy 5) you are actually smart and correct, meaning that you agree with me, C-SPAM poster Loquacius, and believe in social justice but can tell when its rhetoric is being used dishonestly to gently caress you over Categories 1-3 involve a lot of propagandization and will fight you if you challenge them, but the only real difference between categories 4 and 5 is education.

I've got questions about allowing someone so terminally stupid as Joe manchin to follow his bliss instead of the whip when he goes out there crying about bipartisanship and that republicans would vote for a massive spending bill WITH increased taxes.

You should trust them more. Liberals/Progressives will never be true allies to a leftwing movement, whereas right wing converts are likely to know the enemy better. Plus, someone who converts from the people who win all the time to the people who lose all the time either have to be true or a cop.

Strategies to work around him boil down to gaining two more senate seats to offset him. bedpan has issued a correction as of 16:18 on Mar 8, 2021 |

When Swearengin ran in 2020, and got the nomination against Senator Capito in the general, the national and WV Democrats gave her next to no support. In fact, Manchin was doing photo-ops with Capito during the general election. In a world where the Dems maybe helped Paul Jean out when she was the nominee, instead of campaigning against her, Manchin wouldn't be as powerful in a 51/49 Senate.

Yeah weird that Democrats are allowed to repeatedly straight up campaign for Republicans over other less connected Democrats but some New York voter that stays home is the real problem here.

I think a big reason why the left fails is that the right has created a reality that is so crushing and depressing, that merely accurately describing it to less doomered or aware people makes you look like a colossal rear end in a top hat. It's pretty clear to me and all of you that the Democrats have no real interest in governance, or any meaningful opposing views to the GOP. But if you tell an average voter that at least 90% of the "good guys" party are monsters, and their party leader is a rapist, it is way too much to handle.

Yeah, you then get "academic" analyses from young centrists who have never spoken to a voter, who claim Swearengen's 2020 defeat is proof that the West Virginian electorate is "right wing". Nope, it's really not. West Virginians don't reject the idea of better living conditions. You just need to speak to them, get your message out, and explain why someone like Swearengen was more equipped to do it than a Nazi like Capito or Manchin.

President Current Rapist refused to even performatively whip his home state Senators to vote for a paltry $15 minimum wage for a mock betrayal of capital. That truth is unbelievably depressing, and people don't want to hear that after four years of Trump, so they of course ignore it. When they acknowledge it, they cling to the idea of simply calling up the offices of Carper, Coons, Sinema, etc as if that'll matter.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:this is very true Much like how instead of Trump making people realize that maybe there's a big problem if someone like him can get elected in the first place and secondly there's almost no check on him outside of waiting it out for four years since the opposition party largely let him do whatever he wanted as long as that wasn't wanting a piece of paper unripped it just made people want to trust the media and non Trump government even more I think as things get shittier people are going to be desperately looking for absurd articles like that child poverty solved WAPO piece to convince themselves their brains are lying to themselves.
