Long thread by @timjacobwise, a veteran of Louisiana political wars against Klansman David Duke in the early ‘90s. He has advice about beating Trump that’s worth listening to. Doesn’t mean I agree with all of it. But not ignoring the existential nature....
....of the threat Trump poses — that I agree with. Now, I think Trump’s obstructing justice, his corruption, and his using Russian help to get re-elected is all pretty existential stuff. And as far as Democratic candidates go, I think there best off running as who they are.
E.g. @ewarren isn’t putting on an act, of having thought deeply about key policy issues — she’s actually done it. @JayInslee really does know a lot about the most important policy issue, climate change. @JoeBiden is a lot more sophisticated about foreign policy. And so forth.
But the big thing @timjacobwise gets right is, don’t try to be a clever campaign consultant and ignore the really big stuff, like Trump wanting to be President only of white America. There’s no use finessing something like this. Americans either want this, or they don’t —...
.... and most of them really, really don’t. It’s like baseball: don’t fuss too much about aiming each pitch, just throw it. [end]
