[b]Greitens Fade Reorders Missouri Senate Race[/b][/h1]  
 
Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R) is surging toward the front of the pack in Missouris GOP Senate primary, reordering a crowded race thats long been marked by former Gov. Eric Greitens (R) lead in the polls, [link=https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/11/greitens-hartzler-missouri-senate-race-00024351]Politico[/link] reports.
 
For the first time since he entered the primary a year ago, Greitens grip on the Republican base has lifted a slide in support in recent weeks attributed to new allegations of domestic violence raised by Greitens ex-wife.

A new [link=https://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-state/2022/04/14/fetterman-pulls-ahead-as-democratic-favorite-gop-pa-senate-race-still-wide-open-in-april-f-m-poll/stories/202204130138]Franklin & Marshall College Poll[/link] in Pennsylvania finds John Fetterman (D) has pulled ahead as the Democratic U.S. Senate frontrunner over Rep. Conor Lamb (D), 41% to 17%, while 26% are still undecided.
 
Said pollster Berwood Yost: If you are a candidate, you want to be in Fettermans position. He seemed to solidify his advantage. It doesnt seem like Lamb is making any inroads in his name recognition.
 
The Republican U.S. Senate primary, meanwhile, is still anyones race, with 43% of voters still undecided on which candidate theyll support.

In an extraordinary move on Saturday, Utah Democrats voted to back independent candidate Evan McMullin over Democrat Kael Weston to challenge the winner of the Republican primary later this year. At the Utah Democratic Convention at Cottonwood High School in Murray, McMullin received 782 of the delegates votes, around 57%, to Westons 594 votes …

Its an unprecedented measure for Democrats in a state with an all-Republican congressional delegation. Convention delegates grappled between party loyalty or backing an outsider, who in supporters minds, increased the likelihood of defeating a Republican in November. Democrats were motivated by the prospect of unseating Sen. Mike Lee …

Lee still needs to defeat challengers Ally Isom and Becky Edwards in his June primary to face McMullin in the general election.

Democrats are putting country over party, McMullin said after the vote. This is our democracy and, yes, it can be messy at times as we saw today, but its sure a heck of a lot better than the alternative.

If abortion becomes a major issue in the midterm elections, it has the potential to dramatically impact the race for control of the U.S. Senate.

If these numbers are correct and polling on abortion is notoriously hard theres just no upside for the GOP in making this a big campaign issue.

With inflation and the economy [link=https://politicalwire.com/2022/05/04/most-americans-have-dismal-view-of-economy/]the top worries for most voters[/link], it wont be easy for Democrats to keep the focus on abortion rights.

I am becoming very tired seeing the Dems get their **s handed to them by a bunch of ****heads who know how to play election politics better than they do. I know the deck is stacked with partisan primaries but this is winnable with the right approach.

Yes, but. Democrats are certainly bringing a debate team to a Republican gun fight, yes. But the single problem I have about this argument is that it places all the blame on Democrats for not doing something that is supposed to attract the voters voting for Trumps lies and attraction to racism, fascism & authoritarianism and all the other things while essentially giving Republicans a pass for supporting those lies & fascism, etc. 
 
Might as well ask why so many Europeans – and Americans supported fascism in the 1930s. Was it because the opposition wasnt appealing enough to counter that support?

While at it, I see the GQP as a close if not identical equivalent to the Russians who believe they are fighting Nazis. So someone tell me, what should Ukrainians do to get Russians see reality?
 
Identical problem with Trump/Republican voters. How to get the believers in evil lies to see the truth?
 
Fundamentally, what would Trump supporters actually cross over to vote Democrats in? Is it policy? Socialism? Ok, so someone please explain this Socialism that is so evil. Social security? Medicare? Farm support? That is the fundamental question. No one seems to be able to answer that question.
 
The problem is all those who support Trump, Trumpism and all the anti-American, anti-democratic and fundamental religion, racism that the GQP now stands for. The problem for Democrats is about actually turning out to vote, even against the measures Republicans use to void and discount Democratic votes. 
 
How is Trump all Democrats fault? What would make the MAGA crowd vote Democratic? Tax cuts? Please explain someone.
 
 

[satyanar]

 
 
 
Boy are you confused Frumi. Its not the MAGA crowd the Dems should courting. Its independents like me and Republicans that support Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney. You know, the RINOs that Trump and the GQP hates and hate Trump. Im sorry you dont believe there is a such a thing.
 
Not one person I know suggested Trump is the Dems fault. Strange assumption really.  
 
The more I read that post its not just strange. Its pathological. You are having one of your pillow fights again with an imagined foe.  Who in their right mind would think what chiro and I believe and just comments on suggests the insane Trump supporters would vote Dem? You need to go back and read what we have written.

I have actually always been more of a centrist and the party that appeals to the center usually wins

That being said who exactly are the leaders of todays Democratic Party and what do they stand for?

Where are they?

Or better yet where have they been fit the last year?

They are largely silent letting the republicans control the narrative while fixating on Donald trump

Now granted The events of January 6 were a terrible atrocity and should be talked about and looked into but the democrats need to step up more so on other issues too

Instead they are sitting back getting beat over the head on nearly every current issue

[Unknown Member]

I mean seriously how sick is fixation on critical race anti education anti science and the demonization of facts that the republicans are using today?

How sick and how threatening is that and why arent the democrats being more effective in countering this crazy sheet?

[btomba_77]

It motivates their base.
 
 
And it’s been very effective GOP messaging.  They have been able to convince a huge chunk of the American public that any discussion about race is “critical race theory.”    It takes something totally reasonable (and necessary) and morphs it into something that appears scary and radical to rubes in the suburbs.
 
 
 
And Democrats do not have an effective counter message.  It has been mostly “don’t put white supremacists in charge of school curriculum” or academic terminology like “systemic racism.” … that makes right-leaning and independents feel accused and/or stupid.
 
 
 
Bannon was right about Dems:  The longer they talk about identity politics, I got em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.
 
 
That Bannon message has now morphed into [i]Republicans[/i] making sure that their base thinks the only issues are race and identity.  And the Right leaning media is happy to oblige to CRT all day every day.

I have been trying to explain it to you for a couple of years and you keep saying I dont agree. To use your term these people are bat sheet crazy. We all know that. The problem is when you call them that in public you become the enemy that they will use any method to defeat you, even illegal. It rallies their base as dergon says. Just laugh and let them flounder.
 
Then go to the center for a bit to win a majority. Heck, I dont know for sure if it will work but it has to be better than what has been happening. 
 
Edit, I should have read more. What has been happening is displayed nicely by Frumi above. I agree with him on a lot of policy issues but the vitriol is so strong and mocking that I am almost tempted to vote against him just to spite him. Notice I said almost.

[Unknown Member]

Considering social media as well as “mainstream media” like Fox is spreading misinformation propaganda, what does anyone here think should be done?

I think what should be done is constantly beat your winning points into the ground over and over and over again

Republicans do have talking points

I dont agree with almost all of them but they at least have them

Democrats have no talking points.

Furthermore they let themselves get labeled by republicans to easily

I think we need to look more at politicians like Sherrod Brown and Fetterman and Stacey Abrams

What are they doing right.

We should look at them and learn

Heck also Bernie and AOC. At least they stand for something and arent afraid

The other democrats need to pick it up

[Unknown Member]

I do think that continuing to point out conspiracy and false information is important

The problem is the democrats point it out laugh about it then move on

I think we need to fixate on their false claims and routinely beat them over the head with it

The one thing the demon are doing well is routinely bashing the election deniers

Thats is one battle the democrats are winning and its because they are tenacious about it and dont let the lie go without a correction

Agree they should stick with messages that have facts on their side. You dont understand what I mean by move on. This is not an issue the should move on from. But they need to be careful how they play identity politics. What they should move on from is trying to convince people that any Republican or right leaning independent is to blame. Bring these people in. They can help.

[kayla.meyer_144]

Now on those points I do agree.

[satyanar]

This is a good start. Lets find the points we do agree on. There are many. Then dont assume that because someone moves left or right on one we dont agree with that they are an example of the worst of the other side.
 
chiro, you mention labels. They are best avoided. Ive tried many times here but maybe this another chance to discuss what this organization is doing?

[h1]Ex-Prosecutor Urged to Make Independent Senate Run In Missouri[/h1]

Danforth is pushing for an independent candidate in order to provide Missouri voters a principled, traditional conservative choice for the United States Senate this year.

The formation of the campaign committee came on a day when the focus of the Senate race was a [link=https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/greitens-recycles-campaign-meme-from-2016-urging-supporters-to-hunt-people/article_9201c9d6-92a6-5ced-b2c5-9010dd2a649f.html]video released by former Gov. Eric Greitens[/link] showing him and a team of soldiers violently entering a house in search of what Greitens calls RINOS, or Republicans in name only.
 

[kayla.meyer_144]

Regarding this “identity politics” thing, let’s remember how old this accusation is. 
 
How about 1964 and 1965 old. That’s when Republicans started calling Democrats, the former supporters of Jim Crow, the party for minorities and started the argument that Democrats were taking from White people and giving it to minorities.
 
There’s nothing new about that. After signing, Lyndon predicted losing the South to Republicans for the next couple of generations. Little did he know as Nixon won with his Southern Strategy then Reagan with his using resentment to gain votes. That is when everything changed and has remained so since.
 
[link=https://www.southerncultures.org/article/southern-strategy-from-nixon-to-trump/]https://www.southerncultu…y-from-nixon-to-trump/[/link]
 
This has been the way of American politics since, this is anything but new. What is new is the Internet and social media giving the propagandists new powerful tools for disinformation and resentment.
 
How about Lee Atwater? Any of you remember him or were you too young to realize his propaganda?
 
[link=https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/exclusive-lee-atwaters-infamous-1981-interview-southern-strategy/]https://www.thenation.com…iew-southern-strategy/[/link]
 
None of this is new.
 
 

[satyanar]

I know its not new. It just happens to be a terrible way to get a things done that are beneficial for the majority. Especially trying to identify who is worse.

[kayla.meyer_144]

This sooooo reminds me of the joke about the psychiatrist showing the patient Rorschach blots; the patient describes every blot having to so with sex and sexual scenes; the psychiatrist tell the patient he is obsessed with sex, why he sees sexual things in all the blots whereupon the patient says, Hey Doc, Im not the one showing dirty pictures!
 
CRT theory is a couple of decades old. It is older than Trumps term. It is older than Obamas terms. It is older than Bushs & Clintons terms. Yet! How did it become some sort of obsession by the Right? Now?
 
Because it is the Right and its media suddenly bringing up these decades old things and presenting them to their gullible angry and defensive audiences that THIS! is what the Left is doing and thinks of them. Forget that Trump made dog whistles passé & gave permission for racism & control of women to be said loud and proud.
 
If anything its LGBTQ things that are causing new panic as they see their children accepting LGBTQ people, and panic it is, akin to that Satanic panic in the 1980s and 1990s by the Right, but that was before the Internet and social media giving a soapbox to hate and fear.
 
Yes, Democrats are the open party and have not yet been able to counter the message from the Right media like Fox & Tucker, the sole media source for very many Americans. Rather identical to Putins control of Russian media making very many Russians believe they are fighting Nazis.
 
So, how should this media be opposed to open the eyes of their audiences to reality & how they are being used?

[kayla.meyer_144]

Face facts, this shift to the Right and scapegoatism is not local only to America even if Trump used it to excellent results for him and Republicans uniting the fearful against Muslims this time around instead of Jews. Although anti-Semitism is getting stronger around the world.
 
First the Right admired Putin more than Obama and saw Putin as a more effectual and better leader than Obama. Now they also love Hungary and Victor Orban and his getting love letters from Tucker and the Right and Evangelicals. Putin and Orban and Christian warriors defending the faith! Xi is even believed to have a better and effective government than the US and Western countries because their leaders don’t have to have consensus of any kind. I remember The Federalist publishing articles extolling Putin and dictators as being “effective” and therefore deserving admiration.
 
How exactly did Democrats mis-message against them? If anything, Democrats are in the same boat as all the other defenders of democracy around the world. Deja vu the 1930’s when Lindbergh and others thought Adolph and Benito were soooo admirable and had the right ideas about the right government and what to do about the “Jewish problem.” 
 
It wasn’t the Democrats then or now although it does seem they are thrashing against the Right’s messaging.
 
Considering social media as well as “mainstream media” like Fox is spreading misinformation propaganda, what does anyone here think should be done? Never talk about racism or LGBTQ? Act as if those people and their problems do not exist knowing talking about those subjects provides Bannon and his ilk more propaganda of fear???
 
How should Democrats address this? How should Republicans who don’t support Trumpism address this?
 
Stop blaming Democrats for the actions and beliefs of the Right.

Sure get angry, I am. However, I know that channeling that anger into speech and messaging wont help much. Sure its fun in here but I would rather see change.

[satyanar]

Anger begets anger and this leads to war. Heres the problem. The people the dems are truly up against are very  afraid of the other side. Sure that fear comes from ignorance, but a scared ignoramus is a very dangerous foe. Be careful how you engage. Also dont make the mistake of ignoring those on the inside that can help with the ignorance part. There are many that cant be reached. There are also many willing to learn. Dont continue to give them bad examples.
