Blast Trump

Maneuvering in politics is a critical skill. We see it today in the struggle around a stimulus package. Trump’s announcement of of a series of executive actions to break the impasse in the Senate over the passage of a second stimulus bill is an attempt to make himself the champion of working America and worthy of a second term, while casting the Democrats as indifferent to the pressing needs of millions at this moment. Democrats and the larger anti-Trump movement should greet this maneuver with a full throated response that is heard across the county. And on the substance (not so much their constitutionality) of Trump’s proposals as compared to the Democratic stimulus package. They can’t allow Trump to outmaneuver them, which is what he is hoping to do. It’s nowhere near enough to have NY Senator Schumer on a few talk shows. Democrats should use their deep bench to blast Trump’s executive actions and remind voters of their much better alternative.

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.
