The MAGA Madness Continues

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been trying to say here on this thread. Not only do we need liberals and progressives, we need to persuade and work together with as many moderates as possible. That includes moderate liberals, very centrists, and even moderate conservatives. As James Carville said before, Democrats and liberals gotta be practical and strategic in order to win the real political power.

All due credit to the Left wingers like Vaush who have been consistent on this point (keeping in mind of course that he's still approaching this from a Green perspective); that keeping democracy from collapsing is only the only issue that matters right now at a national level.

While true, unfortunately most voters are not wise enough to vote based on that, so they need more practical incentives to vote.

Well, with regard to inflation being a top priority for voters, according to top economists who are really on point, if you look at the on the ground real most of actual inflation is behind us and there have already been major drops on prices on commodities, shelter prices, and transportation costs, costs of services, and oil and gas prices. The headlines and prints are largely not showing the true current rate of overall inflation in real life in the US. They are mostly telling us what happened to inflation last year because of the way the BLS calculates inflation reports have a major a lag effect to them. 

Plus, according to Paul Krugman

“September, consumer prices were 15 percent higher than they were on the eve of the pandemic. However, average wages were up by 14 percent, almost matching inflation. Wages of nonsupervisory workers, who make up more than 80 percent of the work force, were up 16 percent. So there wasn’t a large hit to real wages overall, although gas and food — which aren’t much affected by policy, but matter a lot to people’s lives — did become less affordable.” Yet, gas prices again have gone back down to relatively normal levels, and in fact when adjusting for inflation are below what they were during Obama’s 2nd term as president.

Furthermore, have lately been hitting the message hard to voters on how big corporations are in part responsible for  inflation in our because of their price gouging methods, given the unusual record high profits all these corporations made over the past couple of years.

One more thing. Michael Moore said this three days ago:

”I can tell from my mailbag, just 11 days out from the election, that many of you are going mad. Even more of you have sunk into a deep depression. Nonstop polls, punditry and journalistic pomposity telling you every single hour all the ways the Dems have blown it, lost it, and how the Repugnants are soaring like eagles! Yes, you are told, you might as well sleep in on Election Day because this baby is over. 

It is all a lie. They have no clue what they are talking about. They tell the story they want to tell. If it doesn’t fit their narrative, it’s not in the story. You are being misled, bamboozled, hoodwinked, scared to death, and made to believe that the economy has imploded when the factual truth is that wages are up, unemployment is at the lowest in half a century, more jobs have been created during this presidency than any other president in their first two years, inflation has slowed, the economy grew 2.6% last quarter, and everyone on Social Security is going to get a whopping 8.7% increase in their monthly checks in the coming year. So what is really happening here? I’ll tell you what’s happening: Your leg is being seriously pulled — so hard that if you don’t stop listening to (and believing!) all this bullshit, you’re going to lose more than a leg. 

TURN THE TV OFF! No cable news for the next 11 days! No reading the daily newspaper! TURN OFF THE NEWS ALERTS ON YOUR PHONE! What’s the point of letting them drive you insane?”

Remember, he’s the guy that has correctly predicted more big elections than the mainstream media outlets have.

So, let’s get out and rally as many other people as you possibly can to vote together with you for every Democratic candidate for every single race. If we are able to mobilize enough people in the country to vote for all Democrats up and down the ballot, then we can actually win the midterms big!

I found this news segment very good. MSNBC seems to be the only MSM news outlet that is directly calling out Republicans and MAGA.

Mika and Joe have done a fantastic job of calling out the last 6 years of right-wing bullshit and depravity.

Progressives do not give them enough credit. I love listening to one of Joe's rants on right-wing hypocrisy. It's so much more powerful coming from him than some YT progressive.
