srobertss's JournalInteresting election advice from Tim Wise
Dont be afraid to call him an aberrant racist, basically. Wise was involved in the elections against David Duke in California in the 90s and saw how the racism really appealed to people. Not policies that would improve their lives. So you dont waste time talking to those people. You energize the people who dont like it but might not feel like their vote matters, by labeling him what he is.

If the Dems blow this election it will not be because they were "too far left on policy" or because they "weren't left enough." It will have little to do with policy at all. They are making a mistake caused by traditional consultant theory that does not apply here...
2/ And by listening to influential pundits in liberal media who also don't get the unique nature of Trumpism, relative to normal political movements & campaigns...this election is NOT going to be won by talking about all your "great plans" for health care, jobs, education, etc..
