seriously super lol that dems big idea to attract the working class are tax cuts for jobs, but on a national level. it never loving works on the state level, the companies pocket the tax breaks and screw workers over anyway, but I'm sure the dems will find a way to pay job creators for jobs

lower taxes on the poor and institute a flat 10 million dollar wealth cap, no inheritance over a certain amount, close the loopholes for the tax havens and hang anyone who refuses to comply with handing over their wealth

democrats are intellectually bankrupt. there is no problem dems won't throw tax cuts at corporations to fix too many starving kids? dems will give companies tax credits to provide them affordable meals too much corporate tax evasion? dems will give corps tax credits to pay their taxes!

quote:But Democratic strategists who produced the report say that amid the doom and gloom, they also see reasons for optimism. so basically, if the Dems get to campaign as much as they want and the Republicans don't get to campaign at all, Dems can win the white working class! this is pathetic. the consultant class desperately trying to justify their existence

the question the democrats are trying to answer is "how do you convince people you'll help them without actually intending to help them" and they refuse to accept the only workable answer is "have a once-in-a-generation political and emotional genius headline the party" so that people project their own expectations of good things onto the party's milquetoast pablum

Homeless Friend posted:my favorite type of politico article has rolled around Speaking as a Masshole: Seth Moulton defeated a longstanding Dem incumbent in a primary by running on how young and fresh he was, and that's basically all there is to be said about him. No idea what his stances are on any economic issues. He did get a Warren endorsement, but that was in the general against a Republican so whoopdy doo. It could be argued that that's actually a really strong position because he's a blank slate and can just decide what all his policy stances will be from here on out however he wants, without looking like a hypocrite. But this Politico article is the first time I've ever heard his name mentioned in this context anyway so it doesn't matter.

the freddie essay in current affairs is goodquote:If left-aligned people have abandoned our greater ambitions out of a sense that asking for more is just not realistic under current conditions, I’d understand that. And if they have abandoned those greater ambitions because they genuinely believe a more muscular welfare state is sufficient to mitigate the problems of capitalism, I’d understand that too, though I disagree. But it’s not clear to me at all that this massive shift in the basic definition of socialism, or in the ambitions of the left, is actually the product of an intentional, theory-laden set of choices. We instead seem to be falling into the models of the welfare state without really knowing we’re doing it, sliding rightward as we talk about a reinvigorated left, slouching towards liberalism. The social antipathy that exists between self-identified leftists and self-identified liberals, particularly on social media, has obscured the remarkable symmetry between both groups in terms of fundamental structural approaches to economics. The great left-liberal war is mostly waged, on both sides, by… liberals.

I guess, if you like pages upon pages of the obvious. no Bernie's not actually a socialist. and no, it's not a huge problem he's called one constantly cause the term was p much dead till the dems tried so hard to smear him with it. I think it's more worthwhile to get our foot in the door and rehabilitate the term "socialist" than to make absolutely sure that everyone is using the classical definition right this second. that's a war we can wage when we get there. right now we have to deal with a party that calls programs like welfare socialism and never saw a tax cut for megacorps they didn't like
