New Democratic Plan: Let’s Secede from the South
New Democratic Plan: Let’s Secede from the South
I fully endorse this proposal. I just feel that it doesn’t go far enough.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/08/dems-it-s-time-to-dump-dixie.html?via=desktop&source=twitter
Why stop with the South? It’s time for the Dems to give up on white voters in general. Especially working class white men. Also anyone who hasn’t graduated from college. Just abandon ship and wait for the tide.
“Practically the whole region has rejected nearly everything that’s good about this country and has become just one big nuclear waste site of choleric, and extremely racialized, resentment,” Tomasky writes about the South.
It seems like Tomasky confused the South with Washington D.C.
With Landrieu’s departure, the Democrats will have no more senators from the Deep South, and I say good. Forget about it. Forget about the whole fetid place. Write it off. Let the GOP have it and run it and turn it into Free-Market Jesus Paradise. The Democrats don’t need it anyway.
Now you understand the brilliant progressive minds that torpedoed Landrieu’s campaign.
At the congressional level, and from there on down, the Democrats should just forget about the place. They should make no effort, except under extraordinary circumstances, to field competitive candidates. The national committees shouldn’t spend a red cent down there. This means every Senate seat will be Republican, and 80 percent of the House seats will be, too. The Democrats will retain their hold on the majority-black districts, and they’ll occasionally be competitive in a small number of other districts in cities and college towns. But they’re not going win Southern seats (I include here with some sadness my native West Virginia, which was not a Southern state when I was growing up but culturally is one now). And they shouldn’t try.
Who needs a Senate majority anyway?
Now it’s true that many states in the nation’s heartland aren’t winnable for Democrats, either. Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah will never come anywhere close to being purple. But Colorado already is. Arizona can be. Missouri, it’s not crazy to think so. And Montana and South Dakota are basically red, of course, but are both elect Democrats sometimes. (Did you know that both of Montana’s senators right now are Democrats?!) In sum, between the solid-blue states in the North and on the West Coast, and the pockets of opportunity that exist in the states just mentioned (and tossing in the black Southern seats), the Democrats can cobble together congressional majorities in both houses, under the right circumstances.
Cobble together. Right circumstances.
But what if Republicans start making inroads in that marvelous coalition? Then it’ll be time to shun western states too.
Trying to win Southern seats is not worth the ideological cost for Democrats.
So much for the big tent in the Dem party. No room for anyone who disagrees with the left. Good luck on cutting off your congressional nose to spite your political face.
It’s lost. It’s gone. A different country. And maybe someday it really should be. I’ll save that for another column.
All it took was one election for Dems to come around to the Confederacy.

Anyone is welcome to use their voice here at FREEDOM OR ANARCHY,Campaign of Conscience.THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN AMERICA FOR THOSE WITH OUT MONEY if you seek real change and the truth the first best way is to use the power of the human voice and unite the world in a common cause our own survival I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, ones own family or ones nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace,“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth.” Love and Peace to you all stand free and your ground feed another if you can let us the free call it LAWFUL REBELLION standing for what is right
