I asked this question in 2016 and was told the democrats represented minorities, and that minorities were conservatives, which is why Bernie was doomed. Same person said the democrats no longer represented labor or left wing values, and that they in fact shouldnt represent those things because they detracted from the real mission of the democrats as a vehicle to defend minorities from the party of white supremacy, the republicans. It broke my brain at the time, and the core Hillary campaign message that wanting better things was racist and sexist only reinforced their point and further broke my brain.

That�s pretty much what�s happened. I�m pretty sure that the massive media boost to identity politics stuff starting during Occupy wasn�t a coincidence.

quote:

Teixeira, whose role in the Beltway scrum often involved arguing against calls to move right on economic issues, insists his own policy views haven’t changed — but says the current cultural milieu of progressive organizations “sends me running screaming from the left.”

quote:

It would be bad enough if the damage here was limited to the progressive organizations themselves. Good and important work has been done by them in the past and now these organizations are much less capable of doing such work.

But the damage goes far beyond that. The Democratic party has long benefited from the ability of these groups to mobilize support around specific and attainable goals. That role has now been compromised, if not turned into its opposite, and undermined Democrats’ ability to govern effectively.

Even more fundamentally, the evolution of these groups is contributing to the Democrats’ inability to form a stable electoral majority. The Democrats may no longer be helped much by these groups’ activities but they are bound ever more tightly to them due to the groups’ ideological evolution. With their totalizing embrace of progressive positions and cultural obsessions, they are unmistakably partisan groups of the Democratic party left, not big tent issue advocates as they once sought to style themselves. That means Democrats are inevitably and closely associated with these groups’ public-facing activities and rhetoric—and given the state of these groups today that’s a very bad thing for the Democrats.

wow a CAP staffer joins the American Enterprise Institute and blames the progressives????????????????????????

I like "both sides" articles like this one, where the headline could be rewritten "Society crumbles due to the elderly and their fail-children, but one rich guy thinks we should blame their victims instead"

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/15/millennials-are-to-blame-for-sky-high-inflation-strategist-says.html

quote:

Millennials are to blame for sky-high inflation, strategist says

No one is talking about millennials� role in high inflation, investor says
Soaring inflation is putting markets on edge and triggering fears of a recession. The latest consumer price index data this week revealed a searing 9.1% increase year over year in June, prompting Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to say that inflation in the U.S. is �unacceptably high.�

The causes behind the steep jumps include high commodity and energy prices triggered by supply shortages and Russia�s war in Ukraine, record government spending packages on economic stimulus and low interest rates amid the Covid-19 pandemic, and continuing labor shortages and supply chain problems meeting increased demand.

But one investor is arguing that there�s another major factor to blame: millennials.

�See, what everyone is not including in the conversation is what really causes inflation, which is too many people with too much money chasing too few goods,� Bill Smead, chief investment officer at Smead Capital Management, told CNBC�s �Squawk Box Europe� on Thursday.

Smead explained that in the U.S. there are an estimated 92 million millennials, primarily in the 27- to 42-year-old age bracket. �The last time we saw what we call �wolverine inflation� � which is inflation that is hard for policymakers to stop � was when 75 million baby boomers had replaced 44 million silent generation people in the 1970s.�

�So we have in the United States a whole lot of people, (aged) 27 to 42, who postponed homebuying, car buying, for about seven years later than most generations,� he said.

�But in the past two years they�ve all entered the party together, and this is just the beginning of a 10-to-12-year time period where there�s about 50% more people that are wanting these things than there were in the prior group.�

�So the Fed can tighten credit, but it won�t reduce the number of people wanting these necessities in comparison to the prior group,� Smead said.

To be sure, the Federal Reserve�s printing of an unprecedented amount of money since the pandemic began is a major cause of inflation, economists agree. Smead also did not mention skyrocketing energy prices due to geopolitical events and supply issues, which can�t be blamed on millennials.

Plenty of millennials would disagree with the idea that they all have a lot of money and are now purchasing assets � according to a number of surveys taken in the last two years, upward of 60% of millennials are delaying homebuying due to student debt or the simple cost of homes compared with wages. This generation is also the one with the fastest-growing debt burden.

Even many of those with ample funds are still holding back. As recently as June, the CNBC Millionaire Survey found that millennials are �three times more likely to be cutting back on big purchases compared with their baby boomer counterparts.�

�Forty-four percent of millennial respondents said higher rates have caused them to delay purchasing a new home, compared with only 6% of baby boomers. Nearly half of millennial millionaires said they are delaying purchase of a car because of higher rates � more than double the rate of baby boomers,� CNBC wrote.

Pressure on the housing market due to the pandemic-induced shortage of inventory and high competition is also keeping many potential buyers in the late 20s to early 40s age group away.

Largest homebuyer market by generation
Despite all this, millennials are still making up the largest chunk of the homebuyer market by generation. They�re also the largest generation in the U.S. by population.

�Millennials now make up 43% of home buyers � the most of any generation � an increase from 37% last year,� the National Association of Realtors found in its latest study released in March.

The NAR classifies 23- to 31-year-olds as �younger millennials� and 32- to 41-year-olds as �older millennials.�

�Eighty-one percent of Younger Millennials and 48 percent of Older Millennials were first-time home buyers, more than other age groups,� NAR wrote.

Older millennials made up the �largest generational group of buyers� at 25%, and the median age was 36, the study found. The next-largest group was Gen Xers at 22% with a median age of 49.

�Some young adults have used the pandemic to their financial advantage by paying down debt and cutting the cost of rent by moving in with family. They are now jumping headfirst into homeownership,� Jessica Lautz, NAR�s vice president of demographics and behavioral insights, said in the report.

The figures still leave a lot of young people out of the picture. According to rental listing site Apartment List, in 2020, 18% of millennials believed they would be paying rent forever, giving up on homeownership � nearly double the rate of 10.7% two years prior.

The Fed�s role
As the Fed pumped the U.S. market with liquidity (or some say, flooded it) and kept interest rates low over the last two years, its officials contended through 2021 that creeping inflation was �transitory.�

In late May, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted she had been wrong.

�I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take,� she told CNN�s Wolf Blitzer in an interview. �There have been unanticipated and large shocks that have boosted energy and food prices, and supply bottlenecks that have affected our economy badly that I ... at the time, didn�t fully understand.�

The Fed has approved three interest rate hikes this year, with the latest in mid-June constituting the largest single increase in the country since 1994 at 75 basis points. After June�s inflation print of 9.1%, analysts predict the central bank could deploy a massive 100 basis point rate rise to combat inflation, which in the U.S. is at its highest in 40 years.

Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, when asked earlier this week by reporters about the likelihood of the hike, replied, �Everything is in play.�

these people are out to destroy democracy. And the democrats are here to make sure they win!

quote:

TUCSON, Ariz. � Kari Lake watched her lead narrow in the polls and big players in Arizona�s Republican establishment coalesce around her top rival weeks before the state�s Aug. 2 primary for governor.

So Democrats stepped in.

The state party, in an email blast this week, thanked her opponent, Karrin Taylor Robson, for past donations she made to Democratic candidates. The move was quickly interpreted as another example of Democrats� meddling in midterm election primaries to help draw the general election opponent believed to offer the easier matchup in November � in this case Lake, an election denier endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

quote:

But the missive also signals how aggressively Democrats are engaging in GOP primaries this year. In next week�s GOP primary for governor in Maryland, for example, the Democratic Governors Association has outspent term-limited Republican Gov. Larry Hogan�s preferred successor with messaging that could boost another Trump-backed candidate.

quote:

So far this year, Democrats have applied similar tactics � in many cases aimed at boosting far-right candidates whose appeal might be limited in a general election � in key races from coast to coast. The results have been mixed.

The party got its preferred opponent in Pennsylvania, where Doug Mastriano emerged from a crowded Republican primary for governor after Democrat Josh Shapiro aired a TV ad reinforcing Mastriano�s pro-Trump record.

the best one, literally trying to oust one of the republicans who voted to impeach trump in favor of a big lie guy lol:

quote:

The practice has played out in House primaries, too. Among the examples: House Majority PAC, aligned with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., sought to boost former Fresno City Council member Chris Mathys, who backed Trump�s electoral falsehoods, over Rep. David Valadao, R-Calif., who voted to impeach him, in California�s 22nd Congressional District. Valadao won the primary.
