re: #495 Belafon

I worry that a lot of these polling groups are trying to do the same job Bernie’s doing, and steer Democrats towards an economic message and not a “we are all in this together” message.

Why, why, why do people (media/consultants/pundits etc) keep talking about these things as if they’re mutually exclusive?? -_-

I’ve posted this before, and I’ll post it again: Democrats can win by tackling race and class together. Here’s proof

The race-class flyer says “Whether white, black, or brown, 5th generation or newcomer, we all want to build a better future for our children. My opponent says some families have value, while others don’t count. He wants to pit us against each other in order to gain power for himself and kickbacks for his donors.”

And from there, it’s so easy to go to a discussion on the issues voters are labeling most important (health care, economy, etc) and point out how Democratic policies are infinitely superior to what’s coughed up by GOPers.

Honestly, if I could fire every over-priced consultant and just give all the Democratic candidates the article above, I would.
