Longstanding orthodoxies of the Democratic Party are crumbling and large swathes of its base have had enough. Have the chickens of so-called Resistance liberalism finally come home to roost?
Great stuff as always, Luke! I think I share your view: although I'm heartened by the fact that MSNBC-watching liberals are turning out for Bernie's rallies, I still have trouble putting any faith in these people. They've demonstrated time and again how easily they can be shepherded back towards the status quo. I really hope I'm wrong, though, and that these rallies are the beginning of something positive.
omg a canadian lefty that kinda gets it. I was hard left my whole life, but that's changed. CBC is absolute propaganda, you cannot get 5 minutes a year to discuss anyone with a contrary point of view on Ukraine, Russiagate, Immigration, Covid, Trans, the Pornofication of our culture and teens (cbc all for it), Trump, Economics, Environmental Issues (its more then carbon emissions and Climate Chanage). And in USA I cant beleive the fealty to the dems after they screwed Bernie. And Canada just voted Lib again... Inflation has done more damage then tarrifs ever will. Our whole country is brainwashed.
So telling that we see a mirror image in the UK with starmer and his laughingly called Labour Party. Still living in the past, intellectually absent and hell bent on pauperising the poor because you can’t tax their rich. Never mind the wicked support for genocide. It may be that the extreme behaviour of the orange horror and his consort Elon will lead to genuine change in merika. There seems little hope of that happening here at present.
