The Democratic Party got a HIGHER margin over the Republicans than the Republicans did over the DEMS in the 2010 midterms -- that is a WAVE of voters no matter how much it was blunted by the Senate map and gerrymandering -- The leadership can be pushed BACK towards a New Deal style set of policies --- but just as important -- they can be dragged kicking and screaming into an anti-Trump coalition. There's a great line from the song "Deliver the Goods" (probably written by Woody Guthrie) about World War II "Now me and my boss, we never did agree If a thing helped him, then it didn['t help me! But when a burglar tries to bust in to your house You stop fighting with the Landlord and throw him out!" The Soviet Union united with the United States to fight Hitler after Pearl Harbor --- the anti-imperialist anti-war activists were in coalition with Democrats -- even "war criminals for peace" --- in the early 1970s as Congress gave the coup de grace to Nixon and FOrd's hope to keep propping up "South Vietnam" --- I think we just guarantee our irrelevance if we keep reminding ourselves how rotten the Dems are ... that's not where the people of the resistance are --- Mike _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
