Donald Trump is already laying a sweeping set of policy goals should he win a second term as president.

So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I’m not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

    Yes, and that was because the people wanted Gary Hart, but the DNC decided to install Dukakis instead.

    Exactly like Hilary/Bernie, except at least for Gary Hart, there was some drama in the news to pin the decision on. For Hilary/Bernie, it was simply that Hilary is one of the overlords in the DNC.

    So you are just highlighting a great point where the DNC didn’t listen to their constituents and paid the price. Good conscientious liberals refused to vote for the “lesser evil”. They wanted their solid candidate to vote for.

    It motivated the Democrats to get strong on climate, social service, and fighting AGAINST genocide, and that’s how we got the Clinton/Gore years (some of the best years in moderate history).

    It worked. We saw actual improvement. Then we got complacent again and Democrats are now funding genocide.

    Time to do it again.

    Argument perfectly in-tact if not stronger.
