The Democrats have allowed themselves to become the party of the highly educated, and their plan for staying in power is not to break out of this trap, but to educate the rest of the electorate, who of course don't understand that they're voting against their own interests.

Campaigning by having educated people tell the uneducated that they're either being racist or stupid is a bold strategy, but I'm afraid it maps the former's love of self-flagellation onto the latter, who don't share it.

#resistance really fretted about in private was that some competent Trump minion would game the 2020 census to lock in Republican power. It turned out they were too lazy to really use the opportunity, but are on their way to a lock on power anyway. Yikes.Show this thread

We can lament the rural structural bias, but the truth is progressives cannot accept that we’ve seen pretty clearly in the last few cycles that they are not some overwhelming majority of people OR voters. Shouldn’t the Sander’s campaigns prove that?
