Are you sure Classic Xer is not himself a member of Proud Boys? He talks like he is.

No. I'm a member of a much larger group of American citizens that's largely idle at the moment. Like I've mentioned, the ball is in your court and the fate of the Democratic party has been placed  in their own hands and that's the way it should be right now. Welcome to the 4T.

I have the faith (and you are welcome to call it arrogance) to believe that we Democrats have far more flexibility in meeting economic distress. Our idea of what America encompasses includes people who used to vote heavily Democratic in the latter part of the 20th century: poor white people in the Mountain and Deep South. If we win such people back because of some 21st-century equivalent of a New Deal or a Marshall Plan, then your Party stands to lose landslide elections. 

I want to see a revival of service as an objective of politics at the expense of identity. Identity politics, either way, are bad politics.

The plutocrats to which you (and this means Classic X'er) show political loyalty don't give a damn about poor white people in Appalachia. Well I do, dammit! Poverty for any large group of people serves the rest of us badly unless we be exploiters. Aside from the ethical disgrace of exploitation, it is not even good for survival. To be sure one can live well as an exploiter, but one can also see the exploited turning against one. Just think of Russia in 1917 or China or northern Vietnam in the late 1940's.

Social market (like contemporary, united Germany) or Socialist state (like the former DDR)? I'd rather have the former.

I'd called it ignorance instead of arrogance but whatever. You haven't figured the plutocrats are supporting the Democrats today. You also haven't figured that the proceeds associated with the Democratic victories will be going to big city round heads and the plutocrats and whatever initiatives associated with Uber elites and the crony capitalists associated with them. So, you're a German American. Well, you're speaking to a British, French, Bohemian/Czechoslovakian/Czech Republic (I figured I mention all ) American or just an American. Well, you live in America with a free market economy with several monopolies that are currently getting in the way of progress. I hate to say it dude but your not going to have a choice when the American first movement decides it's done with the Democrats and splits the country and you end up with whatever the Democrats impose and force you to accept afterwards. I've been telling you that oil and water don't mix and one size fits all will never work in an American country with all kinds of climates.
