One more note. Someone a lot smarter than me made a similar point in The NY Times this morning. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social argued against democrats trying to run to the middle. It hasn’t worked. Try doing the things suggested by more progressive and populist people.

Still more on the South and labor:

"Southern politicians go out to the rest of the world and say to them: Our labor is easier to control than the labor is in California. Our labor pool is difficult to unionize in the American South, and this is the deal we’lll make with you."

Maybe it’s because y’all paint the south as one homogeneous, backward place with no nuance to the fact that it’s gerrymandered to the hilt, but…uh…yeah
