Democrats didn’t fight for voting rights in 2000 or 2004. Hillary and her Democrats are not fighting for voting rights today. Democrats are not standing up for the victims of felony disenfranchisement. Democrats aren’t insisting on voting rights for the District of Columbia. In 30 years, Democrats have not meaningfully contested unfair state level redistricting schemes in states like Indiana and Texas which Republicans lopsided Congressional majorities elected by a couple million fewer votes than a minority of House Democrats. Democratic politicians had more than 40 years after the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act to consolidate their victory with a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to vote, which would have put voting rights in a place untouchable even by the Supreme Court, and prevented the entire panoply of laws and practices that currently infringe on that right.<br /><br />Democrats are perfectly content to keep Greens off the ballot entirely in Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana and Oklahoma, and force Green candidates to run without party labels in Tennessee, Alabama and many other states. Fighting for voting rights is just something Democratic shot callers don’t DO."deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305989647913371151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-1762758474997629892016-11-27T14:49:17.983-05:002016-11-27T14:49:17.983-05:00Just call him by his nickname.

Here Hillary and Obama did great work for Donald. As Obama frantically brought in as many “refugees” as possible from everywhere, anywhere that might not be compatible with the people upon whom he would force them, Hillary promised to import huge numbers of Muslims. It was luminously stupid politics, but politically she was luminously stupid, so it fit.<br /><br />It is why she is not President.<br /><br />She knew that the backward peoples of Flyover Land ought to want hundreds of tmhousands of Somalis and Pakistanis and who-knew-what to live with, and if they didn’t, she would force them and it didn’t matter because she had big donors and everybody in the media loved her.<br /><br />However incoherent and ignorant Trump was, the Establishment was determined to elect him.

They have a philosophy or a slant that nobody else has and they guide their candidate to exploit it for at least two terms that can that transforms American politics for their generation.<br /><br />Lee Atwater with his Southern Strategy.<br />James Carville with his "triangulation."<br />Karl Rove with his "compassionate conservatism." <br /><br />You don't have to believe in their program but you have to admit they were very effective politically and led to two terms for their Presidents.<br /><br />Steve Bannon is following in their footsteps. His embrace and promotion of populism and Americanism is what propelled Trump to victory. He reminds me of Mark Hanna another member of the press who was instrumental in electing a President. He is a master of the new media just as Hanna was in his day. Hanna perfected the idea of "front porch" campaigning to dampen the frenzy of post reconstruction politics and ushered in an era of Good Feelings. The press and political operatives of the day were in a frenzy but normal people appreciated the change.<br /><br />What is very interesting is his support of the Alt-Right and their agenda. He has good instincts. Certainly at this point better than all of the pundits and conventional wisdom mains stream media scumbags. He saw Trump as a winner from the beginning. He sees the issues that the Alt-Right raise as winners. He encourages Trump to use Twitter and Youtube and Social Media and to bypass and marginalize the mainstream lying media. He might not specifically list their issues but he will feature them in articles and stories on Breitbart.<br /><br />It is a new padagim. I see him dominating for two terms as the others had done before him. That is the way history works. The uninformed moronic media has no concept but this has all happened many times before. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-91964033706977004372016-11-27T12:55:44.824-05:002016-11-27T12:55:44.824-05:00Bannon sounds like a mortal threat to the establis...Bannon sounds like a mortal threat to the established classes.
