Anthea Butler: Democrats will lose in 2018 if they don't shut up about civility...

Anthea Butler Democrats will lose in 2018 if they don't shut up about civility and shout about our democracy dying

Rejoice, Republicans, you will have another majority on your hands, because Democratic messaging for the 2018 election cycle is nonexistent.

Harsh? Not even. The unimaginative leaders of the Democratic Party — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez — have been playing nice and talking about the virtues of "civility," while the Republican Party has been accusing Democrats of backing Communism and supporting the violent street gang MS-13. (Trump has additionally called a sitting Democratic congresswoman “an extraordinarily low IQ person” and Senator Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas," among other gems that "Cryin' Chuck Schumer" might recall.)

Examples of the Democratic party eating its own, especially their women, are plentiful. Nancy Pelosi tweeted about “striving to make American Beautiful again” when Maxine Waters called for her supporters to confront Trump admiration officials to express their political opposition; Chuck Schumer criticized Waters as well. When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won a stunning victory against longtime Rep. Joseph Crowley, D-N.Y., Pelosi was dismissive. “They made a choice in one district. So let’s not get yourself carried away as an expert in demographics and all of that.”

Anthea Butler is Associate professor of Religious Studies and Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of "Women in the Church of God in Christ: Making A Sanctified World" (The University of North Carolina Press) and her forthcoming book is tentatively titled “From Palin to Trump: Evangelicals, Race, and Nationalism” (The New Press).

That is one pissed-off preacher woman.

They’ll lose if they run on the “Abolish ice, open borders, socialism, gun control” platform.

the Republican Party has been accusing Democrats of backing Communism and supporting the violent street gang MS-13.

The democrats are communists, not just being accused of it. As for MS-13, in Nancy Pelosi's words (after President Trump referred to violent MS-13 gang members as 'animals'): "calling people animals is not a good thing". I'd call that supporting MS-13 and other gangs of illegals.

I suggest that the Democrats just beat the crap out of anyone who mentions civility. I think it will help.

knarf: Democrats will lose in 2018 if they don't shut up.

Here’s the Democrat message for 2018
and 2020.

The Left has decided that attacking, insulting, and dehumanizing one group of people elevates another.
The Left now believes there are no boundaries when telling lies, omitting the truth, or misrepresenting the facts when telling the news because their end justifies their means.
The Left has now decided that its point of view is the ONLY acceptable one and that suppressing, censuring, and banning open debate is virtuous and progressive.
None of the above works anymore.

No small feat

I really could not finish this delusional person’s column but it gives you an insight as to the way the left wingnuts think. About half is all you need to read.

Yup. There are a lot of Democrats who are fed up with what they’re seeing in their party. Hence, the “WalkAway” campaign within their ranks. I left the Democrats years ago because I saw the radical socialists and closet communists operating within the party and nobody was saying a damn thing about it! Funny how just three years ago the MSM and all of the political pundits were saying the Trump candidacy was going to destroy the Republican Party and bring about a Democrat Party in control of the country for the next few decades. President Trump has gone from being a joke to these people into their worst NIGHTMARE!

In what alternate reality is this taking place?
