Didn’t Obama extend the Bush tax cuts?
Pubs have been doing it. “It” being winning elections in a two party system.
How does that tweet explain how to break the two party system without winning elections in a two party system?
Didn’t Obama extend the Bush tax cuts?
I understand this line of reasoning.
What was disheartening for me was going and knocking on unfriendly doors in the cold for hours on weekends away from home for a candidate I liked and believed in and just getting owned by a candidate that didn’t even run a campaign. National politics isn’t really going to change from the outside in or the ground up. Organizing politics works at a local level or on businesses and communities, but it usually fails at scale against established power.
It does until you become the established power. And again, that happens from the ground up.
Trump is the Rodney Dangerfield character from Caddyshack. That’s how his followers see him. They see “coastal elites” like the Bushwood members. They think of themselves as the working class caddies and staff.
Townie, good posts but they don’t recognize the progressive gains that have been made in the last four years. Graasroots organizing doesn’t do much nationally until those grassroots principles make it to the national stage. Once a progressive ran for President on an unabashedly progressive platform, that opened the floodgates for grassroots candidates to get elected at the local and state levels. Even established candidates have to take those groups seriously. And it helps that there’s a broader realization that Republicans won’t compromise in good faith.
Why talk about that? He’s a war criminal according to you, shitposter.
didn’t this whole conversation start with you disregarding the opinion of a black lives matter activist posted by a dsa activist?
Did you miss the post above his?
Not sure what that has to do with my post but this conversation started by a DSA activist posting the opinion of a BLM activist as a way to disregard the political behavior of 95% of black voters.
Neither of them explained how they plan to take down the two party system without winning two party elections. Meanwhile I’ve explained how progressives have made strides by competing in primaries, winning primaries, and by winning two party elections.
No. But forgive me if I don’t value the thoughts or opinions of a shitposter who called Warren a republican and Obama a war criminal. I don’t value Brad’s or theReff’s thoughts or opinions either.
