Tomorrow's Show It’s hard to say how much you want to hear about the Graham Platner Maine fiasco. This is the fellow running for Senate against mainstay Susan Collins in the state of Maine. He was picked by the Dems hoping they could find a working-class dude who wanted to promote (literally) communism. For some reason that seemed to be the qualifiers set down by Bernie Sanders, and this guy filled the bill.
Bernie, still roiled by the screw job he received from the Democrat Party in 2016, seems hell bent to put together a coalition of Dem-hating socialists in the form of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), a populist offshoot party.
Unfortunately for the DSA, they have no connection to the actual working class and tend to be over-educated, inexperienced, idealists who have an unqualified disdain for the United States inculcated by radical professors.
This shallow background proved to be the flaw in picking Platner, an apparent hard working Oysterman with radical political beliefs. The naïve DSA “revolutionaries” had no clue as to the baggage a guy like this might have, including abusing women. While everyone knew about the Nazi tattoo, his lame “I had no idea what the tattoo meant” was met with the kind of rank gullibility in which the DSA excels.
After all, they really do think that the Marxian concept of “From everyone according to their ability and to everyone according to their needs” is actually workable and makes sense. Yeah, if you’re an idiot.
Anyone who has had any real workplace experience, especially at a working-class level, knows guys like Platner. They are quickly identified as louts and are generally avoided. But to someone espousing Marx and supporting the “working man” all such laborers are noble and fit into the identity politics pigeonhole stereotype as such.
It’s a major blunder by the DSA and a bigger blunder by the mainstream Dems to exhibit this level of rank stupidity. But few Dems in today’s leadership have ever actually worked for a living. |
