Yeah the Dem elite jettisoning their social stances at the first opportunity took their voters totally by surprise which is why they were all posting "Dems are gonna take a look in the mirror and say 'we gotta get more racist'" for six months.

I'm about halfway through the Summer 2017 issue of The American Prospect, "The Wages of Neglect". For the most part, it's excellent, and def Suck Zone relevant. Highlights: Place Matters: As in the 1930s, progressives need economic development strategies for the left-behind regions of the country. by Harold Meyerson The Democrats’ ‘Working-Class Problem’: It’s not only with whites. It reaches well into the party’s base. by Stanley Greenberg Why the White Worker Theme Is Harmful: It’s a mistake to racialize an economy that harms the entire working class. by William Spriggs John Russo's "The Pittsburgh Conundrum" is spot-on, but unfortunately still behind the paywall.

Hamprince is too narrow minded to realize that the Democrats haven't dropped any of their social planks, but are simply reacting to calls for a more significant focus on economic problems. Only to have Pelosi & Schumer roll out the same stale dogturds they've been trying since the 80s and pretend it's some kind of great new deal.

Let's just recap what happened with McCain: 1. rear end in a top hat rightfully gets cancer. 2. Dem leaders trip over themselves to wish him well and call him a hero. 3. McCain returns to vote against Dems every which way he can. 4. Laugh out loud.

There was some piece about how the Dem's have been treating campaigning like marketing, causing dipshits like mook. And it really is the case. They don't have much else to offer, so they try to make up the difference in marketing.
