"To win in the future, the Democrats must tear down Obama just as Trump tore down the Bushes. A new Democrat faith must emerge to launch a frontal assault on Obama’s keep in Martha’s Vineyard, sacking it and salting the earth. It must reject the cynical use of race to generate ugly tribalism."
This is one cracking good read: https://johnkassnews.com/to-move-forward-democrats-must-first-deal-with-obama/
I don't think so.
Ask people to give you the details about George Bush Jr as president.
Most will not be able to because the average person has a horrible memory.
What's needed is a Democrat who is educated on important issues and has charisma.
Do read the article. What they also need to do is purge themselves of the policies that lost them the election. That means purging themselves of the Obama influence, root and branch. But I doubt they will. If they have someone who's educated on issues and has charisma, but thinks the Obama policies are the way forward, they'll still lose. The Democrat base has rejected all that.
shareThe woke stuff, sexual politics, and everyone is a Nazi rhetoric is played out and I don't think it will continue.
I am older and all of this stuff was popular in the 1970s. The last ten years has been a weird repeat of the 70s and that includes inflation.
I believe there's younger "boomers" driving the party and they think the hot issues of their day are still hot. However, most of them are corny.
For instance, who hasn't heard about women's rights and black people a million times over the decades you've been alive?
I am in my late 50s and having been hearing about blacks and homosexuals since I was a small child.
I'm more liberal than not and all of this is boring.
If people at least in their 40s and 50s take over hopefully there will be a new message.
As I mentioned, Bush jr was seen as a "Neocon" and now conservatives don't care for that much.
That change from the Bush era was what the writer was talking about. The Dems have to reject the Obama race-baiting, etc., and move to policies that are good for all Americans.
Obama talks about how divided the country is, but he seems clueless about his part in that. Even talking to those young black men about being sexist, lecturing them because they didn't want the policies Kamala stood for as they're being sexist! Policies don't have a sex or a race. And finally, I think, people are beginning to see that it's the policies that are the problem.
The media, for the most part, doesn't want to give up on Obama's policies and division. They thrive off them, too.
I'm extremely liberal and totally agree.
I work in social services and have spent my life helping poor people of all races.
Democrats need to get away from Hollywood topics like homosexuals and trans people. Those people do not matter compared to the massive amount of people struggling.
Now, the Republicans are expressing concern for how average people are doing and making logical arguments, which is why they are popular.
If your step back, it's amusing.
It's important to make sure perverts and isolated elite people don't get involved in any positive cause because they will make it about themselves.
That whole "rainbow coalition" is about the rainbow coalition, you're right.
shareHopefully not, but evil never gives up and never sleeps; it waits, it plans and it schemes.
