Buried in the Obama backer’s appeal is the belief that Hard Left Radicalism after GWB is a good sell. That compromises along the middle, for Middle Class support among working class and middle class, mostly white Americans is not required.

It’s the equivalent of “So Long White Boy” the Democratic analyst and Obama supporter piece in Atlantic Magazine. Saying Dems can win without white men specifically.

We will see who is right. I suspect a coalition that deliberately excludes moderation and White Men will generate the “mother of all backlashes” and fall to electoral failure, “big time” as Dick Cheney would say.

That coalition might win of course. But it would fail completely in governing by making enemies of pretty much most white men.

College Kids, Blacks, and SF billionaires are not to my mind a winning governing or electoral combination.
