Will Mitch McConnell make the Democrats win?
Mitch plays the short game: checkers rather than chess. Either that, or he is a fifth columnist.
It is no surprise that almost a third of the electorate is conservative on social issues. Survey research consistently shows that many Americans lack a decent respect for the rights of their fellow Americans. This is why questions of rights are determined by the the judiciary, not the legislature. Riling these people up is a tool of capitalists to split the working class. It always has been.
MSW's myopia on this linkage does not help things. It is not the Democrats who must change.
The left cannot force the conservative working class into wokeness. Instead of demanding that they adopt inclusiveness, we must include them. This is much harder work, since they consider giving out cash and prizes to be socialism (until they get them). Making their employees want to give better benefits is probably the way to go. In the end, the capitalists themselves need to want to pay more. That is where economists and political scientists are more necessary than theologians.
