No more policing, incarceration, and militarization.
I am done with those who condone government funded murder. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist.ĭaunte Wright was met with aggression & violence. Note that the tweet about abolishing the cops comes from the odious and anti-Semitic Rashida Tlaib: So they just have to lose by less - that’s all. But the difference between getting beat 80 to 20 and 72 to 28 is all the difference in the world. Democrats are never going to win a majority of these voters. Here’s the deal: No matter how you look at the map, the only way Democrats can hold power is to build on their coalition, and that will have to include more rural white voters from across the country. And maybe tweeting that we should abolish the police isn’t the smartest thing to do because almost fucking no one wants to do that. Right, but we can’t say, “Republicans are going to call us socialists no matter what, so let’s just run as out-and-out socialists.” That’s not the smartest thing to do. So, yeah, I agree that Democrats should be smart and not say dumb, alienating things, but I’m also not sure how much control they have over how they’re perceived by half the country, especially when that half lives in an alternate media reality. Part of the issue is that Republicans are going to paint the Dems as cop-hating, fetus-destroying Stalinists no matter what they say or do. And we’re off because there’s too much jargon and there’s too much esoterica and it turns people off.Ĭarville is high on Biden and what he’s done, but he thinks that wokeness and academic-style jargon is turning off parts of the electorate that the Democrats need. So let’s not have an argument about whether or not we’re off-key in our messaging. And we came within 42,000 votes of losing. We won the White House against a world-historical buffoon. If you say, as interviewer Sean Illing does, “Well, we won the Senate, the White House, and Congress, didn’t we?”, Carville will reply like this: James Carville In this new Vox interview, cited in Bari Weiss’s column I posted about earlier, Carville is worried about the Democratic Party and its message. Ceiling Cat bless the bald pate of James Carville and the gray matter it conceals! One thing you can count on with Carville is that he doesn’t mince words, and while you may not agree with him, you always know where he stands.
