The DLC has it RIGHT! Democrats really do need to embrace war!

Democrats must embrace war!

The class war.

Infectious greed causes the top 1% of our country to subvert our democracy and rape our future in persuit of sociopatheic greed.

The are weakening our country because they are sick.

They've built a whole fake movement to justify it. They've brainwashed a shockingly high amount of our citizens to believe it as what's right, or even god's will.

The people, the other 99% who are getting fucked by them must do something about it.

The right has made discusion of class off limits in the popular culture by smearing it as "Class Warfare" that is far-left and therefore unacceptable for consideration.

I think this is called issue boxing, which is like the inverse of framing. They did it to neutralize a threat.

Our party must go populist in a big time way. Nationally and at the grassroots.

It's time for people to start talking about class. Maybe in a very stealthy way, but it has to start.

We need a good candidate to test this out, and we need talking points, etc.

1. This problem will never be addressed until...

we stop running white millionaires.

2. It's been too long since we last

invaded Mexico. Just think: we could seize Jalisco and own all the tequila in the world!
We haven't threatened Canada in a while either. They've coasted for far too long relying on our forebearing national character.

3. question for you

is the DLC connected to the DNC ? or has a split in the democratic party emerged? I'M confused...Are they working together? do they have the same goals?

[dissent1977]

4. They are connected, but there is some conflict as well

The DNC is supposed to represent all Democrats (although many would argue that they don't). The DLC on the other hand does not even attempt to represent the Progressive wing of the party. The DLC does not like Howard Dean one bit, and they want to dump him from the DNC along with many other progressives. Even with the conflicts however the DLC still has an enormous amount of influence on the DNC.

7. The DLC's reaction to Dean is the goddamn funniest thing

Here you've got a self-described moderate (and a former DLCer to boot) who inspires fierce loyalty from the progressive wing of the party. A huge swath of the people the DLC derides as uncompromising purists collectively said "I don't care if he's a centrist, this guy GETS IT!" You'd think the DLC would look into bottling some of that Dean magic for themselves, but no, they whip out the stakes and garlic at the mere mention of his name. Dumbasses.

5. WRONG!!!!

6. Id rather frame it as a values question

They used it against us we should turn it around on them like tax breaks
and handouts to corps making record profits.Not adequately equiping the troops who they claim to support,underfunding the VA,schools,putting former energy lobbyists at the head of environmental protection agencies and increasing pollution.

Ask the American people,do you consider these to be values that you share? If not join us.
