Why this professor sees Trump as "an opportunity to imagine a new kind of politics"
Glaude on trump:
Trump’s rise to power offers an opportunity to imagine “a different kind of politics, a politics that’s consonant with the kind of world that we aspire to live in for our children and our children’s children.”
How did that work out, sir?
Here he is trashing Carter and Clinton:
We’re still dealing with the fallout of Clintonism. I make the claim that in some ways Jimmy Carter was the first neoliberal president. If you think about his reactions to the economic downturn, to downsizing government, to austerity, we can just go down the line.
Here he is calling Democratic Leadership "Eisenhower republicans" and again trashing Democrats:
When you think about the Democratic leadership council, and you think about what motivated that organization philosophically, these are just simply Eisenhower Republicans. They have a cozy relationship with corporate power. What we’ve experienced is a narrowing of the spectrum of American politics, so much so that someone like Walter Mondale would be considered a radical today.
Sorry, I'll pass on watching the video - I get enough of his negativity a few times on Nicole Wallace's show weekly.
