He's either insulting leftists or the American system is wholly incongruent with the real spectrum of world views, right? He can call them money grubbing and ineffectual and he'd be spot on, but c'mon man, I'm posting hard over here and I feel like chopped liver the way he ignores me!
I mostly agree with this, but he's using obfuscation to tar centrists and establishment Dems with the same brush as us.
Communism bad is an easy argument that resonates with a majority of his constituents. I'd be shocked if leftists figured into any GOP strategies outside of useful punching bags for making Dems look frightening/ridiculous.
You say that, but didn't Bernie perform well on Fox News? He got more military donations than Trump. Populism gets the people going. Nobody in the fucking world, and good lord I mean nobody, thinks subsidized COBRA is cool unless you're an insurance exec who has bought a fleet of politicians. There's an apatite for Americans having good things instead of lib shit even if communism is a bad word.
Undeniably. What I'm getting at though is that Dems gatekeep leftists out of electoral politics anyway.
The GOP centering a strategy around leftists would be like designing your finals playbook around an underdog from a different division. A waste of time because you're not fighting them for the championship.
Very true. As an aside, the “democrats are commies” narrative makes me wanna blow my brains out more than anything lol. Except maybe libs calling Mitch McConnell a communist agent lol
