In reply to the discussion: Huddle Up: WEDGE ISSUES [View all]Cosmic Kitten
(3,498 posts)4. Agreed, lets get on the just side of history!
The WEDGE lies in the false
narratives that the "base"
does not care, is dismissive,
or otherwise takes concerned
parties for granted.
The "Left" who has championed
the disenfranchised populations
for decades has been "taken for granted"
by the Party establishment for far to long.
When Hillary supporters cry out...
but republicans, SCOTUS, etc WITHOUT
addressing the concerns of the "Left"
WE are being taken for granted.
Who else will the "Left" vote for
if not Hillary?
Enough of the "Left" is F----ing Retarded
from 3rd-Way triangulation.

The USNews article is a primer on how to use WEDGE issues to divide the GOP, not Dems.

Yes, but candidates still hope to disqualify each other. And, sometimes they succeed.

The fissures do not need identification. They've been known here since forever.
