Inflation Is out of Control! Urgent Memo to Biden and the Democrats!

Memo to President Biden and the Democrats

From: Robert Reich

Re: Inflation and the economy
As America slouches toward the midterm elections, you need an economic message that celebrates your accomplishments to date – job creation and higher wages – yet also takes aim at the major abuses of economic power that are fueling inflation and widening inequality.


You should put these ten indisputable facts centerstage:

No worries Cartoon Ken. Your welfare check will not change. Beyond that truth here is another. Why is it Robert Reich did not see this inflation coming? Some fucking economist. democrat of course.

Prove Reich wrong factually or concede the point. And if you're going to link Sanders into this, then the challenge crosses over.

I answered that already in Post #19.

And I stand by what I wrote that you responded too. Reich is saying Biden and the Democrats should adopt more of Bernie's left wing populist message for the midterms. Am I wrong to say if it couldn't attract enough Democratic primary voters how is it going to attract independents and Republicans at the polls come November? Thus why I asked if the thought is the message/positions work having a different messenger.

What you "stand by" is incorrect, myopic opinion coupled with supposition and conjecture. Case in point:

Not so much M4all as a fair distribution of wealth and services for the very working people that make the ideas a reality. And remember, his cornering the youth market included the majority of young white voters. Just saying.

The decision to relegate superdelegates — now called “automatic delegates” — to the second ballot in a contested convention consumed the DNC for nearly two years after the 2016 election. Superdelegates overwhelmingly sided with Hillary Clinton, infuriating Sanders’ supporters.

The rule change was widely viewed as a major victory for the Democratic Party’s left flank. At the time, Perez called the delegate overhaul “historic,” while progressive Democrats and many moderates lauded its appeal to young voters skeptical of centralized party power.

Also from the 2nd link:

In conversations on the sidelines of a DNC executive committee meeting and in telephone calls and texts in recent days, about a half-dozen members have discussed the possibility of a policy reversal to ensure that so-called superdelegates can vote on the first ballot at the party’s national convention. Such a move would increase the influence of DNC members, members of Congress and other top party officials, who now must wait until the second ballot to have their say if the convention is contested.

Remember this was in the air BEFORE the final caucuses.

Once again, your myopic take on information reveals your bias. I'll let the reader go to the article and read it all comprehensively. Meanwhile, here's are an apropos article that should clarify what you don't understand:

You’re making the point I made in my other post. The Fed and their easy money policies are the biggest driver of inequality (and Reich complains plenty about inequality) yet here he is supporting those policies.

From your own link


A Democratic official who has reviewed the document pointed out that in addition to the Clinton signoffs Brazile characterized, it included language stating that "nothing in this agreement shall be construed to violate the DNC's obligation of impartiality and neutrality through the Nominating process" and that "all activities performed under this agreement will be focused exclusively on preparations for the General Election and not the Democratic Primary."
 
It’s a party


They did nothing wrong


Sanders was not even a Democrat

He would join to run and then immediately resign after he used the party’s help to run


We owed him nothing

How in the hell is pushing for radical change supporting the status quo?








C'mon Wack, you're pissing on my shoes and telling me its raining. Now, if your personal bent is to eliminate the Fed altogether, that's another story.
 
It was former Vice President Joe Biden, not Bernie Sanders, who assembled a multiracial working-class coalition in key states like Michigan — where Biden won every single county, regardless of income levels or racial demographics. Sanders had strong support among younger voters, but they did not turn out in overwhelming numbers. In at least some key states, they made up a smaller portion of the primary electorate than in 2016.

Why Bernie Sanders failed
The Sanders campaign and his supporters bet on a theory of class politics that turned out to be wrong.

Bernie Sanders did horribly with black voters. And that, even more than his not actually being a Democrat, might explain why he won't be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States. Given his talk about wanting to lead the way toward a political revolution - and not just your typical liberalism - what accounts for his inability to get black votes? It may be as simple as his decision not to fight for them.

There's a section here that put's Beauchamp's erroneous anti-Sanders screed into perspective:

Beauchamp rips Sanders’ words from their context to construct his “populism” straw man; what Sanders is advocating at Berklee isn’t “populism” — whatever that means, and Beauchamp never defines it — but a form of (working) class politics that includes and transcends (Hegel might say “subsumes”) identity politics; both/and, not either/or. Which makes perfect sense, because you have to approach people from where they are and how they see themselves, no? Anyhow, if strawmanning and taking out of context don’t bother you, read on.

Bernie Sanders didn't really try to win black vote, campaign staffers tell website
Jarvis DeBerry, columnist PUBLISHED JUL 11, 2016 AT 11:28 PM | UPDATED JUL 19, 2019 AT 11:59 AM

Cathy Tyler, executive director for strategic communications at Morehouse College, told Fusion that the rally Sanders staged at that historically black male college in February was still mostly white. Morehouse is one of several black colleges in what's called the Atlanta University Complex, and Tyler says she argued that since students should get first dibs on tickets to see Sanders. But the campaign rejected that idea, she said, and, consequently, "It wasn't like you were at an HBCU. Once you got in that room, it could have been anyplace."
