Major Dem attack on Senator John Cornyn going on?

By artappraiser on Sun, 07/12/2020 - 11:51pm |

THE DEMS NEED TO GO ALL OUT IN TEXAS. Not because of the Biden numbers, which are excellent, but because of the Cornyn numbers, which are shocking. He is at 37%, against MJ Hagar. When the number two GOP Senator is a 37% that is a very bad sign for the GOP in Texas https://t.co/zyfPUf89fl

Trumpism Is ‘Identity Politics’ for White People

By artappraiser on Mon, 07/06/2020 - 4:23pm |

Adam Serwer retweeted his Oct. 2018 article today with that title and it definitely is worth a reminder right now:

From, but it’s even more clear now that Trump has fumbled the response to the coronavirus, the economic crisis, and the george floyd protests, while running against statue vandalism. White identity politics is all Trumpism has ever had to offer. https://t.co/A4ZzsNbFVV

Karens

By artappraiser on Sat, 07/04/2020 - 3:09am |

I am intrigued by this brand new stereotypical enemy of the left, Karens. One month there's all these new heroines, the suburban woman centrist voters who helped give us a Democratic House of Representatives and are going to save us from Trump. And they are cis, and have kids and a husband, and are going #MeToo. The next month very similar women, they are ridiculed if not totally despised. Got me thinking: is Hillary Clinton a Karen? Who else? Just ran across--this woman looks like another unfortunate Karen, worthless even as a token?

Protests concerning the death of George Floyd started at the end of May

By artappraiser on Sun, 06/28/2020 - 7:30pm |

The short answer is that nobody knows yet, but the bigger question is, would public health experts actually pursue the answer with any empiricism or would ideology prevent them from doing so? https://t.co/teylcORfhH

This classic "herding cats" problem is why Joe is a good candidate at a time of national crisis?

It's also why his V.P. pick is extra important? As to what happens after the election

Heard from a state legislator that 40% of small businesses in his district will never come back. This is devastating and will transform our neighborhoods and communities unless dramatic actions are taken. Small businesses are the source of most jobs.

Chomsky is trending on twitter

By artappraiser on Mon, 06/15/2020 - 2:23am |

and I think it's because of this tweet, he's expressing that all the young people protesting, that it's really about class war? So it's not just specifically race but solidarity of those feeling oppressed?
