Pentecoastal Elites posted:its very funny how the dems, staring down their own destruction, were handed the second biggest bag fumble in contemporary american electoral history in the form of the idiot gop actually touching the third rail of abortion, but then immediately committing the first biggest bag fumble in contemporary american electoral history by completely wasting it and once again falling rear end backwards into the woodchipper as far as i know there still isn't any sort of plan by democrats on the abortion issue and there never was. just the same "vote democrat to protect abortion" they have been doing for the last 50 loving years - it's too late for that! you lost already! so why would anyone pissed about it vote for the dems, who have established they don't care

FLIPADELPHIA posted:I don't disagree that the dems are in general bloviating fuckups but when the dems get destroyed in a few weeks, it's mainly going to be because of global inflationary pressure,which is not something the democratic party could really effectively fight against, even if they somehow wanted to. Hard disagree. Global inflationary pressure could be relieved by not starting up a proxy war with Russia and loving over the global energy markets. Ukraine is an American project and that war only continues based on US funding and US pressure on EU nations to trade their own prosperity for America's foreign policy projects. If the US cut off weapons and funding to Ukraine tomorrow and signaled the EU to do the same there would be a negotiated peace before the end of next week. The dems could have also fought inflationary pressure through stimulus to the working class to keep up consumer spending paired with higher taxes on wealth and corporate profits to drain excess money accumulation out of the top end of the economy. You could argue that America is politically incapable of doing that and I would believe you, but thats not the same statement as saying nothing could be done even if the will was there. Economics isn't some implacable force immune to human action like gravity. Its not like a dustbowl, where no amount of human effort is going to coax more grain out of the parched earth. Its a financial crisis caused by neoliberal politics. It could be fixed if they wanted to, they just don't really want to fix it

TenementFunster posted:but yeah, i like your theory. a lot of these long-time establishment boomers (and silents! jesus!) got used to the "cold war consensus" where they happily gave away all the benefits of the New Deal and Great Society to please the opposing party and their donor base. they want to pretend that when the cameras are off, they clock out like Wile E. Coyote and Sam Sheepdog and grab drinks together. they don't understand that even Marjorie Taylor Greene or Paul Gosar would love to see them dead, much less her social media constituency. Duh, you're exactly right, it's the myopathy of the collegial mindset. You'd still think a grifter would be more wary of ideologues but if you're too young to remember the 30s and too stupid to understand the 60s and 70s, I guess this is what you get.

You're right that the inflation is baked into the current imperial project. But that's precisely why the dems can't do anything about it. I have my doubts that an angrier and poorer republican base is able to change anything either other than blame powerless minority groups but I guess we'll see

I would say the big difference is going to be where corporations and the broader project collide even though it is on their behalf. The coming fight over oil prices is a good example where the GOP is talking about holding up bills until strategic reserves are stabilized and Biden agrees to not pursue an export ban which could very well be pretty influential (this is going to higher energy prices/more inflation). There is also a coming issue over fiscal stimulus since while GDP is positive there are significant storms on the horizon, particularly with a possible housing crash/corporate debt crisis. The Fed's hands may be tied to an extent they haven't been in the past and the only solution is going to be fiscal stimulus. Basically, there are some divergent goals here.

I get where both of you are coming from, the dems could deal with it, but also they absolutely can not deal with it. A hypothetical party that finds itself in exactly the position they find themselves in could - probably fairly easily, I think - tamp down inflationary pressure, deliver meaningful economic relief to its constituents, and drive turnout by getting their voters mobilized and focused on abortion rights. The democrats, however, can't do this because they're the democrats. They can't take any of this action, and frankly I don't think they even have the organizational apparatus to understand or prepare for what they're facing in any way that matters, much less what's about to happen in a few weeks. They're a fundraising e-mail mill that funnels money into consultant groups. I mean, gently caress, they can't really even do kickbacks or pork barrel poo poo anymore. The furthest they get is individual Democrats giving jobs to their nephews or doing some insider trading. They're already dead and the next however many years is just going to be watching the twitching, shambolic corpse fully rot out.

I still can't get over that after the SC decision there's literally footage of angry protestors shouting "Do something!" at president Biden and him smiling and waving back and saying "Yeah! DO SOMETHING!" Like it was just the hip new slogan that his voters were gonna use in the midterm.

Tony Evers in Wisconsin has started running ads saying "Gov. Evers really wants to legalize marijuana. Isn't that cool?" Not even "I will do this" (pretty sure he can't, the Republicans will shoot it down) but just "I'd totally be open to doing this good thing guys, honest!"

Also the 5-second YT ad spots for both parties are just "RADICAL $CANDIDATENAME IS DIVISIVE AND RADICAL. $CANDIDATENAME - TOO RADICAL FOR WISCONSIN." Gonna be interesting carrying on conversations in a couple years when words literally have no meaning beyond what you ascribe to them in your head.
