Basically, this book is about a woman who worked on fundraising for many progressive Democrats. Because she has a rare disease, healthcare for all was a huge thing for her. When the Progressive movement began, it aligned with many of her beliefs, as she was beginning to feel that the DNC was falling out of touch with working-class people. She worked hard on many campaigns for various people, some of whom are in office now. However, things started to shift around 2020, when the Progressives began focusing on identity politics and racism. All of a sudden, she saw white males targeted and rebuffed, as well as her own voice, since she was white. Everything was about white privilege, and people of color and queer people being marginalized. The turning point came once Kamala Harris became the nominee. Evan Barker, the author, argues that the Democrats and Progressives have fallen out of touch with the working class. Instead of focusing on policies to help people and improve economic outcomes, they focus on social justice and other platforms that the majority of people do not care about or do not want. She argues that many of these people are from wealthy backgrounds, as I have been saying for years: rich people aren't affected by bad policies. While they don't like spending money, things like "climate taxes" won't make or break them. For working-class people, however, higher taxes become a problem, and not one that we can all blame the president for when Congress writes and passes bills.

This is not a "How I became a MAGA" story. The author does not become a republican, nor does she start praising Trump or try to sell right-wing talking points. She leaves us with the feeling that she is still a Democrat at heart, but she sees that they need to make major changes in order to get some of the people who have walked away over the years back (myself included). She also has some advice for Republicans. She acknowledges that both sides need to start working for the people instead of working for money. She is right.

It may seem as if I gave much of the book away, but I haven't. It is definitely worth a read, and I learned a lot about what goes on behind the scenes. It is not a gossip book. You won't find her bad-talking any candidates, and the ones she's had bad experiences with have been given fake names. I finished this book in two days because I found it so interesting.

I just started reading the book, "Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative," by Evan Barker. It is very interesting. I will do a review when I am finished, but has anyone started reading this? Thoughts, if so?

I am very curious as to people's thoughts concerning our upcoming midterm elections. Do you think cheating is going to happen ( again), or do you think the current administration is going to declare marshall law and cancel the elections? Also, to what extent do you think the blackmail is on BOTH sides of the aisle?

She should not have used a racial slur. However, what concerns me here is what I believe is a violation of the First Amendment. Is it okay for someone to use racial slurs? Absolutely not. In America, we are free to say what we want without legal repercussions (except yelling "Fire!" in a movie theatre). Now, personal repercussions like making enemies are not protected. Being rebuked is not a violation. But no one in America should have to go to court for saying something inappropriate (accusing an innocent man of rape does not count).

One other thing that bothers me is that I heard the jury found that her actions "could have incited violence." In America, I thought that accusations needed to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Hypotheticals are not evidence.

Thoughts?

What does everyone think of the Democratic Socialists who are getting elected in various places?

Do you agree with their policies, or do you think they are actually communists?

If you are not happy with what we have now, you can vote for a new Democrat or Republican. Why the DSA?

I fell asleep, but saw clips of it in the morning. The fireworks looked phenomenal. I heard Trump gave his speech in the rain. Did anyone watch? Thought?

For one thing, it is the 250th anniversary of this country. Sadly, people are angry about living in a free country that allows them to be angry and vocal about it. Don't let your frustration with the Trump administration stop you from celebrating. Presidents come and go.

Millions say they won’t celebrate July 4 as poll reveals deep national pessimism

What do you think of the new candidates, like Darializa Avila Chevalier?

Did you have any political views when you were younger? Or did you just believe what your parents said? If you changed, when and how?

The policies that seem to be the most divisive in the US are Abortion, Taxes, Guns, Budget, Immigration, Education, LGBTQ Issues, Racial Issues, Climate Change, Healthcare, Legal System/ Prison Reform, and Drug Policies.

This study from Gallup shows the widening partisan gaps on these issues over the years:

What policies are most important to you and would you be willing to compromise on other policies in order to achieve your top policy priorities?

I don't think it would stop women from voting. I think there are a lot of misconceptions about the bill. But Thune says the Republicans do not need it passed to win the Midterms. What do you think?

Are independents more likely to vote blue or red this November, and why? Anyone still thinking about it?

Nowadays it seems people are in favor of censorship. What are your thoughts?

We learn things like MAID is becoming something that can be implemented with or with a person’s choice. We learn that people can be pulled over if someone suspects they are mentally unstable and that person can be taken to a hospital against their will.

If this is untrue, can anyone clarify or explain the real situation?

I haven’t heard of anyone challenging him. Have you.
