The plan for Democrats to run against Russia may be falling apart.
President Donald Trump being sworn in on Jan. 20, 2017.
After squandering much of the last six months on faulting Russians for the horrific presidency of Donald Trump… After blaming America’s dire shortfalls of democracy on plutocrats in Russia more than on plutocrats in America… After largely marketing the brand of their own party as more anti-Russian than pro-working-people… After stampeding many Democratic Party-aligned organizations, pundits and activists into fixating more on Russia than on the thousand chronic cuts to democracy here at home… After soaking up countless hours of TV airtime and vast quantities of ink and zillions of pixels to denounce Russia in place of offering progressive remedies to the deep economic worries of American voters…
Now, Democrats in Congress and other party leaders are starting to face an emerging reality: The “winning issue” of Russia is a losing issue.
I might add that it is not only the party that loses -- The entire mainstream media is playing with fire and risks being discredited as a source of information. Of course much damage has already been done by the news/entertainment industry and that of course the subject of a much longer study. My fear is that progressives are so close to democrats that it will rub off, leaving fascism to sweep the boards.
