counter trump

For Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the 2018 race was little more than a tune-up for the 2020 presidential campaign. She breezed to re-election by 24 points.

Warren exhibited strength in Massachusetts’s 10 youngest municipalities (Gen X, Millennials).

We can look at who voted for Warren in 2018 to see who might vote for her in 2020 — both in the primary and in the general election.

Most Americans Support Warren’s ‘Ultramillionare Tax’

And we can look at the "anybody but Trump" crowd.

Socialism is NOT An Effective Political Bogeyman!

30 years after the end of the Cold War, Americans don’t view socialism the same way they once did. In 1949, Gallup asked Americans what they thought “socialism” meant. 34 percent of Americans thought socialism signified “government ownership or control” — of businesses, utilities and “everything.”

But when Gallup asked the same question in September 2018, it found that respondents associated socialism with equality (only 17 percent said they viewed socialism as government ownership).

And in 2018, Americans associated socialism with benefits like social security, homeless shelters, food banks, care for the elderly, and universal access to medicine.

Gen-Xers, now in their 40s and 50s, are much more likely to be mid-career, to have responsibilities for small children or aging parents, or to be lost in the swamps of midlife crisis.

Millennials are hot for socialism!
