    The religious right of the GOP already have a plan to deal with climate change.

    How does Beto have the biggest lead in a hypothetical h2h against Trump while polling at like 5% for the dem
    nomination? I was hoping dude wasn’t a stiff(unfortunately he appears to be) because I thought he’d appeal to independents and old white people, but how is this even possible? He’d have to be almost everyone’s second choice or have like 90% of independent voters. I doubt he’d hang himself with Democrats for life at 46 years old by running third party, but I’m glad he’s rich or someone might hand him a really big bag of money to split votes and Trump would win by 10%

      MumblesBadly: Beto is a team player re the Dem Party, but also tries to steer the party working within it. So, no worries about him going rogue.

    I really hate the early hypothetical general election matchup poll.

    The information people are using is so incomplete that it makes their answer useless.

    Winning a Presidential election comes from a long campaign with a lot of back-and-forth between candidates.

    You can't take a candidate like Beto, who has barely been tested on a national stage, and guess how he would hold up in the general election.

    That's why the "Bernie would have beaten Trump" thing is crap. I think that Bernie would turn off a lot of people if put under the scrutiny of a general election.

    P.S. The host shows the poll methodology and statistical details to make the fullvid titled case that the poll results are a sham meant to prop up Biden’s supposedly popularity among likely Democratic Party presidential nomination race voters.

    Bernie is correctly going hard to win back the Midwest from the identity politics-driven GOP. How so? By going after the biggest corporate monopolists in the food industry: the foodstuff aggregators who use their market power to buy low from smaller farmers who don’t have a realistic option to sell their harvest to other companies.

    https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/05/05/pol...lan/index.html

    And it’s high time a Democratic presidential candidate did so. Both the GOP and establishment Dems like Clinton and Obama let the big agribusiness aggregators run roughshod over the rural foodstuff markets, squeezing away for themselves about 40% of American farmers’ share of retail foodstuff revenues in the nearly four decades since Team Reagan gutted antitrust enforcement starting in Reagan’s first presidential term.

    Go, Bernie!

    I’m sorry. Did you just say the “identity politics-driven GOP?” Cause it looks like you are saying the GOP is the identity politics party, as opposed to the democrats. But you can’t possibly be saying that. So I’m confused.

    The GOP definitely appeals to a certain type of identity in order to divide and weaken the middle class, and they started doing so with Richard Nixon’s Southern strategy of appealing to Southern white racists, which Reagan and Poppy Bush expanded to appeal to Northern white racists using exaggerated caricatures of black “welfare queens”, urban crack addicts, and “Willy Horton”-type violent criminals, and complemented that with hypocritical self-righteous “family values” appeals to evangelical/ conservative Christians.

    You probably didn’t see this as identity politics because those identities aren’t as fractured into as many identity groups that the Dems have appealed to, but the identity nature of that tribalism is strong enough to get many whites and evangelicals to reliably vote along party lines regardless of how the GOP fucks with their economic interests, nor feed them an unending stream of lies to strenghthen their loyalty to their white or conservative Christian identity. That’s why so many American evangelical Christians have bought into giving lip service to the “help the poor and unfortunate” message of the Christian Gospels in favor of the Trumpian GOP’s callous disregard for the plight of the poor and non-white immigrants.

    Hell! Even Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush weren’t callous towards brown-skinned illegal immigrants the way Trump and many leading GOPers, including Paul Ryan when he was relevant, have been. That’s an unmitigated appeal to a white identity, which the aforementioned Ryan indirectly confirned by using his power as a Congress member just prior to leaving office to push for thousands of unused visas to be allocated to applicants with a nationality identical to his own white European heritage.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pol...s-bill-1032517

    If that isn’t identity politics, I don’t know what the fuck is.

    i'm literally speechless that mumbles considers the GOP, and not the democrats, the identity politics party.

    It's both parties. They just package their identity politics differently. Right cries about lefts identity politics because it fucks with rights own identity politics. As a word pairing identity politics is fairly close in value to political correctness, almost useful overused term but not complete retardation like cultural marxism.

    you're not wrong that both parties do it, but i suppose if there's a difference, it's that so many politicians/commentators on the left (but not all, e.g., bernie) are in your face about directly trying to appeal to minorities at the expense of white voters. for example, issues like reparations (which i actually am in favor of, but i digress).

    the right at least tries to use coding like "Make America Great Again"

    That just makes it harder for the left to effectively confront the underhanded identity politics tactics long used by the right. Only if they have a religious awakening (e.g. John Erhlichman and Nixon’s War on Drugs), a deathbed reflection (e.g. Lee Atwater and the Willie Horton ad), or some other kind of transformative reflection-inducing experience, do they come clean to admitting to having used insidious coded identity politics.
