Taking issue with letter discouraging Democrats

November 12, 2019

I must take issue with “Alienated Democrats are walking away” which includes a series of skewed Republican talking points. The #WalkAway Movement this touts is intended to discourage Democrats from voting for their interests, allowing the Republicans to re-elect Donald J. Trump who has been systematically eliminating our protections and our government’s ability to mitigate global climate change. 

Respected economist Robert Reich, secretary of labor under Clinton, writes, “The only way Democrats win is with an agenda of fundamental democratic and economic reform, such as provided by Warren and also by Sanders.” This is not the letter’s claimed full embrace of socialism. Not at all.
