Reply #228: The failing

[kenfrequed]

Of the democratic party for the last thirty years to articulate a populist message that sticks can be traced to a lack of a proper progressive economics. Congressmen that get that and run 'hard left' on those points and bring them home tend to do somewhat better. Presidential candidates that speak to that garner more votes.

Barring an actual progressive move in the economic sphere we are merely rearraning deck chairs on the Titanic. The disintegration of the middle class, the collapse of unions, the monopolization of the airwaves, the pricing of higher education out of the hands of most kids, and the deregulation of everything under the sun are all elements of the prevailing collapse of America. And I am sorry but just 'winning' by staying just marginally to the left of the insane asylum that is the modern republican party is not going to correct any of those things.

You don't get that and it seems, from past discussions, that you have never gotten that. Good luck with your game of xeno's paradox with the repukes.
