Where Does the Left Go from Here (2)?

I have four suggestions:

1. FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS–NOT FOR WOKENESS: The more extreme manifestations of wokeness are a wedge issue for the Democratic Party. Fighting right-wing attempts to use government to suppress them are not. Find the happy middle ground and defend the First Amendment against the reactionary censors.
2. THE DEMOCRACY PROJECT VS. THE MCCONNELL PROJECT: The Supreme Court and the filibuster are the two pillars of the McConnell Project. They deny the left power even when it wins elections and holds office. Argue that we need a new round of progressive legislation to bring liberal democracy to full fruition in this country. This would include term limits for the Court and the elimination of the filibuster.
3. CONNECT THE AUTHORITARIAN DOTS: There is a straight line between Putin lovers and supporters of the January 6 rioters. Draw it for the voters in both domestic and foreign policy.
4. SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY; TAX THE RICH: Some elements of the right want to trash Social Security; all of it refuses to fund the program by eliminating or increasing the cap on contributions. The public doesn’t understand that. It should.
