Reply #32: That is a fallacious analysis

[Armstead]

You are assuming that someone has to be a wild-eyed radical to advace progressive populist positions.

IF Hubert Humphrey were around today, the "reasonable Democratic centrists" would be demonizing his traditional midwest liberal populism as "far left" and "too fringe to win."

ONE reason so many in the Red states vote against their own economic interests is because they have been subjected to endless and very sophisticated right wing propaganda from the corporate elites and their allues in the GOP --- WHILE the Democratic party has been unwilling to actually challenge them.
