(5,272 posts)to say that we are going to work with the bankers and the leaders of other industries to get something that works for everyone. THAT is unicorns. They could certainly get damn close to pleasing everybody if they stopped trying to play arbitrators between the people and the rich, and went full on populist already. The bullshit things that people hold onto would start to fall away as worthless dead weight if people thought their racism and backwards ass thinking on science and climate change, etc. was standing in their way of tangible things our society could be providing. They just have to believe that they could get a piece of that better life.
Of course that doesn't do anywhere close to most of the work. That is just a fundamental crack in their bubble that we could achieve with the right messaging, but we choose instead to try to thread the needle between our liberal base and corporate interests, and we get ground up for it.
I say yes, lets fight the GOP and EVERYTHING they stand for, and lets fight the damn interests that they are the proxy for, all the way, not just some of the way.
