Bashing Liberals

I came across a post on Facebook yesterday that self righteously castigated “silly liberals who supposedly rely on the Democratic Party and the Mueller report to extract the country from the Trumpian fix that it is now in. Below is my reply:.

Silly liberals, and especially liberal women, were one of the main backbones of last fall’s election victory. I saw that here, but it was much the same in many cds across the country. I wish the left had made a contribution of that magnitude. What is more we can only hope that liberals, women and men, do much the same next year. Bashing liberals has been a cottage industry on the left since the sixties. While it made little sense then, it is completely wrongheaded now, given what we are up against. In the times in which we live, an accent on modesty and unity would serve us far better than self defeating broadsides.

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago. While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut. I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
