Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers
The GOP serves the rich, the Dems serve the middle class, and nobody serves the poor. That's been the way it's been since Dems chose to fund the Vietnam War over the Great Society.
The liberal-worker alliance had a built-in self destruct mechanism: workers are socially right wing. Poverty breeds ignorance and with it religious fundamentalism, militarism, and racism. This is why at this point in history liberals may have to give up on white workers: their values suck. The Democrats already did this but did it for the wrong reasons (they were infiltrated by the rich). Ironically we can make the transition to be officially the party of the middle class by changing only a few policies. We should still bleed the rich but we should use the money for middle class people who respect civilized values.
We should give the white worker what he's always said he wants: to be left alone. So let the GOP strip away their health care and social security. But don't replace them -- instead move our efforts to bolstering and growing a socially liberal middle class. Let poor conservatives have their laissez fair garden of Eden economically. Stop risking the life guard by trying to save a drowning victim who also wants to drown you.
