Unbelievable.
[David] Brock’s Florida conference outlined some of the philosophical fault lines. In one closed-door session, Chicago mayor and former Barack Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel advocated a measured approach to Trump opposition, one in which Democrats choose only specific fights with a tight game plan.
If you can’t muster relentless and sustained opposition to a historically unpopular white supremacist president who lost the popular vote, then get the fuck out of my party. Trump may be the problem, but so are you. And Emanuel, who guided the White House to our party’s disastrous 2010 midterm elections, is a problem. If anyone should know the power of relentless opposition to a president, it should be him. He’s beyond hopeless, and so is anyone that invites him to speak at their event. (And remember, this is where our top-tier DNC Chair candidates were, instead of marching with the masses.)
If this brewing movement wants to be taken seriously, it’ll have to start taking out elected Democrats in primaries. It’s clear that millions marching in the streets ain’t getting it done.
