Chairman Yang’s Populist-Progressive Coalition

There could be a deal that looks something like this:

1.) Detoxifying White Identity – White people should be granted a place in American politics. There is no reason to keep repressing White identity. The only thing that accomplishes is polarizing the electorate to the benefit of conservatism. It also drives some White people insane and to the point of violence like we saw in Charleston, Pittsburgh and New Zealand. Why not just let White people have pride in their identity again on the Yang plantation and have a landslide victory?

2.) Dissolving Political Correctness – Political correctness is nothing but a handicap for progressives. It keeps populists aligned with conservatism. Just look at what happened in Charlottesville where you had populists and progressives fighting with each other. In hindsight, none of that was necessary and it would have been far easier to strike a deal. The Confederate statue was the most important issue to the populists. Progressives care far more about other issues though that symbolic shit like that but can’t win the middle due to political correctness. The solution is everyone agrees that Christianity is the moral code, not political correctness.

3.) Ending Censorship – Why not just let the Pepes back on social media and give them amnesty? They’re using social media to rip Donald Trump and conservatism now anyway.

4.) Immigration – Democrats look foolish standing like Custer over the border wall. We’re also going to need a moratorium on immigration anyway due to the impending loss of so many working class jobs. Shifting to the center on immigration on 2020 with Yang will satisfy and intrigue millions of Republican voters. Build the wall. It needs to be done anyway.

5.) Health Care – After Charlottesville, I was surprised to look at the polls out of Virginia. The majority of Virginia voters were STILL in favor of keeping Confederate monuments. This is just a losing issue for Democrats that simply angers White voters. The single most important issue to Virginia voters is health care. Populists would back Medicare For All.

6.) Infrastructure – Both populists and progressives agree on infrastructure and can easily find common ground here.

7.) Universal Basic Income – $1,000 bucks a month? This is the ultimate issue that will unite populists and progressives. It is also easily doable. We would just have to dump a lot more Republican senators. We already gave you back the House of Representatives in 2018.

8.) Student Loan Forgiveness – This issue has huge appeal across partisan lines to Millennials and Zoomers. It’s worth yielding on political correctness, censorship, White identity to get something as good as this.

9.) Trade – Yang is right that the problem here is not so much trade itself as it is distribution. A populist-progressive coalition solves the problem with UBI.

10.) Anti-Racism – Why not just deflate the balloon that is anti-racism? White America isn’t by definition “racist.” That’s absurd. This is toxic shit that alienates White voters and drives them toward conservatism. If racism were redefined to, say, purely hating other people on the basis of race then race realism and White identity could be detoxified.

Suppose that a deal had simply been made at Charlottesville?

The “racists” keep their Confederate statues. White identity is accepted as legitimate. In exchange, the progressives and socialists get UBI and the above?
