His latest. Taibbi is one of the few liberal (as opposed to prog) writers who gets it. Needless to say, I disagree with much of what he believes, but he has and offers valid insights.

Never heard of Thomas Frank and I am a avid reader, so why should I give two shits about his opinion?

-------------------------
I was right.

Taibbi is a talented writer, but i agree, most of his stuff is silly. It's nice we can agree on something.

-------------------------
I was right.

IMHO, he's the best political writer on the planet.

I haven't read the link yet, so no opinion.

"Frank ripped the political strategy of Clinton Democrats, who removed economic issues from their platform as they commenced accepting gobs of Wall Street money in a post-Mondale effort to compete with Republicans on fundraising. Gambling that working-class voters would keep voting blue because "Democrats will always be marginally better on economic issues," New Democrats stopped targeting blue-collar voters and switched rhetorical emphasis to "affluent, white collar professionals who are liberal on social issues."

Sounds familiar

Nothing will change until the money is removed.

LOL Tpap wrong again. He never ever stated he was a liberal or a democrat.

The dude is also Russian, go figure.

Nothing will change as long at people play the game.

We Trump voters didn't. Nor did Bernie voters, for that matter.
