    Waleed Shahid Retweeted Dave Weigel

    There’s a little bit of a parallel on how Republicans try to negatively tie Democrats at-large with The Squad and how Stephen Douglas, white supremacists and centrists tried to tie Abraham Lincoln to radical abolitionists like Frederick Douglass.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1150481988635246593 …

    Democrats who think the 2020 election will be defined by AOC and not by the party's presidential ticket are engaged in hand-wringing more powerful than anything previously observed by science.

        Lincoln’s speech “has as dark a hue as that of Garrison or Fred Douglass.” “Frederick Douglass. It was enough for the Reigeter to print the name with no further identification.”pic.twitter.com/rEawfjAaRS

        “Many of the senator’s listeners in 1858 therefore had no trouble believing that there was some connection between Lincoln and Douglass. Not because it was true, but because it might as well have been true.”pic.twitter.com/DJ49SnVYmS

        It's the same reason in 1988 George H W Bush tied Jesse Jackson to Dukakis, mentioning their names together often. Bill Clinton likewise a racist, invoked Jesse Jackson frequently as well, to signal to racist white voters he would be tough on black people.

        Frederick Douglass is just beginning to recover from that with his recent great work.
