[lbo-talk] Tracking the decline of the left's historic base

[B.]

I posted one very germane nugget from a longer book, about a relevant demographic being discussed (for ex., Sarah Palin's "real America") -- ergot you extrapolate and make broad, crotchety, and 100% unwarranted generalizations/speculations about other topics.

The point was pretty crystal clear: folks who are hurting are not being organized. And in the past the "left" (CIO, etc.) did a better job at organizing such folks than they are doing now. Period.  Yet you made a 4 paragraph rebuttal that bloviated and gas bagged on other, extrapolated things.

Nice to see you again, Mr. Coxshaft.
