Yes, Clyburn has engaged in levels of racism not experienced since he was trying to stop racism.

They could have supermajorities in both houses and they'd still find excuses for why they can't do good things because they need more votes in the next election and then things will get done.

in all seriousness one of the unfortunate realities of our political system is that you have to shape messaging in the blandest middle ground way possible in hopes of convincing enough people in the right areas to support your policies. its far better to promise something minor and enact something major than vice versa - the "solution" is to run on some vague promises of police reform (mission accomplished) and then enact actual, significant policies that address the issues without acknowledging that you are doing more. we're failing on the second part.

also the only criteria by which to judge messaging is how that messaging directly impacts voting decision, not what it "means". if "defund the police" is resulting in a net loss to democratic votes then it is a bad slogan, independent of the policy is addressing, because policies aren't enacted through referendum. that's why pro-choice/pro-life is effective.

The logic in this post (I know it's sourced) is amazing. "The best strategy is to not advocate for things but then do them anyways, so, when you think about, it the Democrats, by not advocating for things, are already half of the way there! We just need to work harder on the second part."

This stuff is somehow genuinely amazing me. I saw one post where someone commented positively on Kamala Harris vaguely gesturing at "tackling the immigration at its source." How loving stupid do you have to be to see that and not immediately identify it as a deflection from focusing on actual conditions at the border.

I was thinking about making a reply to that, but I don't think I could do so without just directly insulting people.

People like that talk like they're part of decisionmaking and not actually saying that you should just sit down and believe that dems are secretly super radical, they just don't ever say or act on it to fool the rubes.

Idealism has a place in politics. Anti-pragmatism doesn’t though.

If you only take moral stands, you aren’t actually going to be able to accomplish anything.

How can activists that refuse to interface with the vote grubbing party people ever going to get policy moved?

Right? I mean its good that people learn some history, but it's a case in point in how the national conversation around race is going to be shaped by what is presented in premium TV.

Relatedly, I had a conversation a while ago where someone was excited that Judas and the Black Messiah, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 had a "cross over character". Pretty neat!

Lol, Biden's talking about interracial couples in TV commercials again. As proof that we're defeating racism.

reminds me of this badass thing from last year

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hallmark-ceo-leaves-after-same-sex-ad-controversy posted:

The parent company of the Hallmark Channel said Thursday that CEO Bill Abbott is stepping down. The move comes about a month after the network became embroiled in controversy after pulling commercials featuring a same-sex couple, then reversing the decision after a consumer backlash.

The statement on Wednesday from Crown Media didn't give a reason for Abbott's departure. The Hallmark Channel has become known for its holiday specials, popular with both viewers and advertisers, but public attention on the same-sex ad campaign last month cast a shadow over its typically sunny programming.

The issue began when the Hallmark Channel removed multiple ads from wedding-planning company Zola following pressure from the conservative group One Million Moms. According to a Hallmark statement on the decision to remove the spots, the group had complained to Abbott about the ads' content, which featured a female couple getting married and kissing at a wedding.
