re: #98 Eric The Fruit Bat

So flushing the xenophobic batshit loonies out into the open is bad—why so?

Flushing them into the open isn’t bad. But it can’t stop at that. The Democrats should be mounting a big push to show why they’re the sane alternative to this bad craziness.

But I’m not seeing that. Maybe it’s still to come. But although we may think right wing xenophobia is a horrible thing (and it is), there are way too many voters out there that this horrible thing appeals to. Right now there’s little to no push-back coming from the Democratic Party.

Maybe the big push-back is being prepared, and I’ll be happy to admit I was wrong if it is. But I have a bad feeling from what I’m seeing so far.
