Corporate Media’s BRAINDEAD Advice For Democrats Only Hurts Progressives More

Corporate media is trying their hardest to do propaganda for centrists and corporate Democrats by promoting the narrative that the Democrats have gone ’too far left’, thus alienating moderate voters. The Hill contributor Joe Lieberman suggests embracing more bipartisan legislation instead of fighting for incredibly popular positions like Medicare for all, increasing the minimum wage, and preserving the Social Security and Medicare programs. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, and Jeff Waldorf discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"With little more than a half-year before November’s midterm elections, many of my fellow Democrats have begun to panic, and with good cause. Support for the party has cratered amid ballooning inflation, spiking crime, and widespread fears over problems ranging from immigration to national security. Some leaders on the left of the Democratic Party have curiously taken this moment of peril for Democrats to argue for more of the same, to double down on the progressive agenda pushed by Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). But that response ignores the reality staring the party in the face.

Democrats are in trouble because they have strayed from the pledge President Biden made to the American people during the 2020 campaign, and articulated so hopefully in his inaugural address, to establish a stable, moderate, bipartisan government in Washington, one that would stand in sharp contrast with that of his predecessor. The best way for Democrats to avoid an electoral cataclysm this fall is to return to the bipartisan problem-solving center the president stood for in 2020.

Democrats have been down this road before. The two Democratic presidents I served under in the Senate, Clinton and Obama, were also elected on the promise to govern as inclusive moderates. They both ran into political troubles soon after taking office, trying to accommodate the left of the Democratic Party. But they both then moved to the center and got some big things done for our country. Never before Joe Biden has a newly elected president faced such narrow majority margins in Congress, and yet on the activist Democratic left, there was the mistaken belief that Biden’s victory over former President Trump was a defeat for conservatism that provided a historic opportunity to enact big transformational liberal policies."
