https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/top-democratic-officials-target-their>This week, the self-styled centrist group WelcomePAC released a document entitled “Deciding to Win”—advised on by some of the Democratic Party’s most prominent strategists, including David Axelrod, James Carville, and David Plouffe—urging Democrats to act a little more like Republicans on so-called “identity and cultural issues.” The 58-page memo reads like a compendium of the consultant class’s worst instincts, encouraging candidates to become little more than poll-tested avatars and walking focus groups, trading conviction for triangulation. While the document rarely defines which “cultural issues” it means, the few times it does make it clear: queer and transgender people stand to lose the most if this vision of the Democratic Party takes hold.>The document begins with five key pillars for the party. Some of them make a lot of sense, such as “messaging on an economic program centered on lowering costs, growing the economy, creating jobs, and expanding the social safety net,” critiquing “the outsized political and economic influence of” the “ultra-wealthy,” and support for a $15/h minimum wage. Others, though, encourage the party to abandon platforms that have been central to its identity and mission to protect the most vulnerable in society, calling for the party to “Moderate our positions where our agenda is unpopular, including on issues like immigration, public safety, energy production, and some identity and cultural issues.”>While the document rarely defines what “identity and cultural issues” means, the examples make its targets clear. Support for the Equality Act—legislation that would codify gender identity and sexual orientation as protected classes under federal law—is cited as proof the party has “moved left.” Another section lists “protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans” as a priority voters supposedly don’t want Democrats to emphasize.
>lose due to being the milquetoast liberal party>decide to be the even more milquetoast liberal party>surely this will make us win, more immigrantswhat a cucked country, there is no left wing party just two right wing partiesill vote republican probably i just wanna see democrats in camps
>let's make sure not to do anything that might be controversial, like supporting civil rights>also, let's keep sending billions of dollars of unconditional military aid to IsraelI'm embarrassed that I ever donated money to these fucking clowns
>>41529445>left wing extremism>milquetoastthe left is going so extreme left stalin is about to become a conservative capitalist.
>>41529605oh yah man totally, they didn't have a $15/hr minimum wage in the USSR after all
>>41529622the speed at which $15 minimum wage got converted into robots was near instant. everyone attacks the weeds and not the fucking roots. $15 minimum wage gets you $20 burgers. people that remain unshot should have been shot in the 80s.
>trannies tell everyone not to vote because Palestine >party decides to ignore tranniesMakes sense. You all threw yourselves under the bus here
>>41529407Zionists and their enablers
>>41529919>ITS DA JOOOOOS!Why are /pol/tards like this?
>>41529934Defensiveness is an admission of guilt.
>>41529934the jew cries as it strikes you
>>41529956>>41529959You are just endlessly seething at news for no reason. How are there even nazifails on the /lgbt/ board? Are you volunteering for the pink triangle or something?
>>41529979im not a nazi, i just dont support bankrolling an ethnostate's entire economy
>>41530004>I’m definitely not a Nazi I just support October 7th and hate Jewish peopleGo back you fucking incel lmao
>>41530017nta but just fyi, responding to someone's post by projecting and summoning a strawman to attack isn't going to endear your position.
>>41530017>I don't want you dead I just want to enslave you allman anon shut the heck up
>>41530094Yes this is exactly what palishits and nazi losers like you want to do to jewish people. You tried it once, remember how that turned out? You nazi cunts will swing from lampposts again for what you've done.
>>41530125see >>41529959
>>41530197The muslim cries out as it strikes you. Swing first and we will swing back ten times harder, you did it to yourselves. Jewish peoples right to exist isn't up for debate.
>>41529934
>>41530227im not muslim, just someone who notices things
>>41529445there's no right or left, just oligarchs with marketing strategies
>>41530228LOL I'm sure your palirat allies wouldn't just throw you off of a building. Tel Aviv is the most accepting of LGBTQIA+ people on earth, meanwhile muslims still stone gays to death because their false prophet pedophile told them to.>>41530245Yes, it seems you tend to notice some things and then, for whatever reason, fail to notice things that disprove your stupid worldview. Curious.
>>41529407>oh, noes! politicians in a republic are going to represent the interests of their voters!
>>41530295big if true
>>41529445you're the democrats in camps
>>41529407>Support for the Equality Act—legislation that would codify gender identity and sexual orientation as protected classes under federal lawthey think that if you agree with 2020 neil gorsuch, you're too far leftthese guys need to fucking go. the thing that tanked the party was a refusal to confront joe biden's obvious incapacity until it was too late, which prevented a real primary and left us stuck with a historically weak candidate.
>>41529407>15 min wage that's sooo 2017, get with the times... it's now $25 an hour
>>41529445>expanding the social safety net,” critiquing “the outsized political and economic influence of” the “ultra-wealthy,” and support for a $15/h minimum wageDid you even read this
>>41529694>$15 minimum wage gets you $20 burgers.This has not been my experience in a state with that as the minimum wage.
>>41529407>centrists moving further rightshockingstop tolerating faith
>>41530017Comments like this in response to the legitimate criticism of Israel's ethnostate status are in part why Israel's reputation will never recover among anyone under the age of 50.
>>41531598israel always knew this would happen eventually, which is why they turned america into mexico so that it won't matter. when americans finally decide enough is enough with israel, america will be a hilarious mystery meat slave nation still owned by jews.
>>41531620Well, Mexico's people also do not like Israel so I am very confused as to how immigration is relevant at all in this regard. I also wish you would not say things like "mystery meat slave nation", as they are very embarrassing and weird.
>>41531663mexico voted for a jew.
>>41531593Progressive trans rights has failed, let it go.please
>>41531674She does have very good policies.
>>41531598Why can’t israel defend itself?
>>41531598What's wrong with ethnostates? Most of Israel's haters either live in one, or want to live in one.
democrats were always cowards, obama was critical of gay rights up until the supreme court approved gay marriage.the 2028 primaries are going to be nothing but democrats larping as bill clinton 2.0. trump winning twice spooked the democrats back into being moderates instead of progressives
Is there any hope desu?There needs to be a silver lining somewhere.
>>41534283But who appointed the said supreme court
>>41534639not obama
>>41529934Its true tho, both parties are compromised by israel
>>41529407why would any sane tranny vote for dems?
>>41529445>there is no left wing party just two right wing partiesThis is what going to reddit does to a mf'er. You're too stupid for politics, communist. learn your limitations.
>>41529622>all that matters is economics80 iq transbian, your party is solidly socialist even by euro standards. That's besides the fullblown rabid communism of its social policies.
>never voted for zionists >not voting zionists this election>will never vote for zionists in the future>never been hoodwinked politicallypolitics really is this simple
>>41530227>Steals your land>Steals your house>Steals your culture>Steals your fucking shitposts
>>41530125If Palestinians are so dangerous why did you all immigrate to Palestine retard
>>41536692dude the democrats arent left wing by AUSTRALIAN standards definitely not by euro standards?
>>41536684>regressing to coal and abandoning all social safety nets, not to mention fucking over minorities, is left wingthis is your brain on the UK
>>41529407I’m just going to cope by assuming this is a nothing document by has-beens.Literally all I care about is minimizing my chance of dying, so if dems back down on civil rights I’ll just be republican to minimize immigration since it’s the second-biggest threat to my physical safety.
>>41530227>swing firstRemind me how Israel got started again?
>>41530279oy gevalt!
>>41529934>you have to either support war crimes or naziswhy are /pol/tards like this?
>>41537040but it's always, invariably, the left that does that. the right loves superior nuke power. leftoids, like in germany, do coal.
>>41536887Are you mad, goy?
>>41541560ah yes of course which is why the gop is famous for shilling nuclear power over coal and natural gasthe fossil fuel industry is destroying the earth
>>41529407>"just one more moderate pivot, okay?">"just one more alliance with liz cheney, okay?">"just one more appeal to centrists who always vote republican, okay?">"the kamala's for they/them ad made PA red, not our horrible candidate and geriatric leader!">"we can lose working class votes for suburban republicans upset with trump that will totally vote us!"i'm voting vance in 2028 as a pennsylvanian if they keep this shit up. i'm sick of fettermans. obama was an anomaly and democrats haven't known who they are since fucking bill clinton. it's so bleak.
>>41529407wow thank god for lobbying and thinktanks, how else would politicians know what to do
>>41541722>if only they'd be more communist and anti-white>more of >>41536656what's wrong with you? can't you see that your marxist ideas are terrible and destructive? you're turning nice american cities into somalia, you know.
>>41541923Why is that a bad thing? Whites deserve it
>>41529445they lost due to economic policy.
Absolutely insane how your only choice is a far-left party who wants to import tens of millions of people who hate you and a centrist party who also wants to import tens of millions of people who hate you
>>41541923"marxist" is being racially colorblind and wanting a return to LBJ style politics? then yeah i guess i'm vladimir lenin. i had amazing sex with a cishet practicing muslim arab dude as a white transfem. when you actually go outside and meet people you'll realize everything you hear on the news is made-up horseshit. the only transphobic encounters i've had irl were from white men and black hooligan teenagers, while i'm living it up with actual african immigrants and muslims. start going outside more and get off /pol/
>>41542625to continue, "anti-white" is fucking bullshit nonsense. white people are just as capable of being awful as any other demographic and commit crimes at lower rates due to economic prosperity and higher opportunity.i don't give a fuck that white people are going to be a minority. i'm perfectly content with it. it doesn't affect me at all. most people assimilate. arab men in my area talk more american than white kids imitating fetishized a ghetto hooligan lifestyle. 50 years ago i wasn't white because i'm italian and catholic now i'm in your made up grouping.
The Labour party tried to do triangulation in the UK and it failed epically. Reducing immigration and welfare and banning trans youth healthcare pissed off their base while failing to attract moderates. Now they're losing to the left and way behind the far-right. Not saying this would happen in America with its two-party system but you get the idea.
>>41530279I'm willing to bet israel has killed plenty of lgbt people in the crossfire of trying to destroy gaza lol
>>41542660>to continue, "anti-white" is fucking bullshit nonsenseEveryone favors their own race over others, except white leftists. >white people are just as capable of being awful as any other demographicIndividual character does not matter in groups, or even behind closed doors. Every libshit in Europe says they know a moderate Muslim and yet 75% of all terror is Islamic, they hire their own people, they only marry outgroup women but not men, they fucking groom kids. The trends are clear. Universalist morality is suicidal because all groups are in a struggle for survival >commit crimes at lower rates due to economic prosperityRace correlates more with crime than class. Also why is classism and sex based arguments for crime okay, but not races?>i don't give a fuck that white people are going to be a minority. i'm perfectly content with itLeftists are content with every country being minority white while normalizing incitements to violence against them, both online and in academia. >50 years ago i wasn't white because i'm italian and catholicMeme. Italians have referred to themselves as candidus since ancient Rome. Italians share intermixed royalty and population genetics and Christianity and common pagan religious origins with other native Europeans, along with having a proto indo European language and originating geographically from Europe, with many periods of polities shared with Germanics. Leftists always regurgitate this continuum fallacy that nobody is white because the concept adapts over time and gets murky at the edges. No shit. The definition of a fish has changed massively over history but fish still exist. Italians are not a less constructed identity than white people
>>41542961>Reducing immigrationbecause no one believes that they're genuine in opposing immigration, obviously.
>>41542625>"marxist" is being racially colorblind and wanting a return to LBJ style politics?The picture shows a somalian in front of a crowd other somalians, talking about how great somalia is, speaking in their language and waving a somalian flag. And this was in ohio. as i mentioned, you've completely ruined several formerly very nice minnesotan city with your "diversity," and you want this for all of america. yeah, i think it's fair to call you marxists.
>>41542961>Far right is when you are a party owned by a foreign billionaire only ever touching on deporting illegalsSink the boats and then sink this shithole. I fucking loathe the british as much as the retarded nigger parasites coming here.
