David, when JFK used TV he was a 1) on a full spectrum medium that was capable of reaching voters directly in a new way, that had the potential to make the cake rethink the way it was sliced e.g. his Western tour of September, 1963 mentioned above.
2) saying something.
Today's Democrats are doing the 80% 20 split. 80 mute, 20% voting with the Republicans while not trying to stand out and SEEM that way.
It is that 80% mute 20 % OVERT complicity that really has amounted to 100% complicity with the corporate agenda for a very long time now.
One of the things that I have been (very badly) fighting for is the "RESPECT" for the political assassinations as, to some extent, a cause of the rightward movement of the Democratic party since 1963 and even more markedly after June 5th 1968. Now I understand that this analysis marks the rightward movement considerably earlier than most. This is because I regard the working class component of the Kenned-King 63-68 challenge as much more important than do our official typists. The Kennedy-King -Reuther coalition that was butchered by the state emphasized coalition above division of the old New Deal coalition. Rather than seeing the Civil Rights movement as its challenger it sought to some extent to add that to the coalition.
But this would make the cost of US labor too high for US industrialists, so they switched to finance capitalism by shooting any Democrat that punched in the right spot. The last real Democrat was Wellstone.
If we are to maintain a justified level of interest in the assassinations, we absolutely must maintain this long term narrative of the Democrats front and center in our analysis. The statistics back us up 100%. This analysis is the answer to the left-gatekeepers. They ALWAYS must be answered, for their poisonous lies are the only thing they say that travels across the spectrum and becomes the conventional wisdom.
JFK and RFK is the only thing in the world that Noam, Bill, and the NYT all agree on. That is screaming something. Our job is to spread it across the sky instead of in internet silos.
