Here Comes The Stacey Abrams Rebrand
|
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it won't include a stint with Weight Watchers.
[WFB, via Insty] - Stacey Abrams was repeatedly praised as a "bold progressive" with an "unapologetically left" agenda during her failed gubernatorial campaign in 2018. Now that she's running again in 2022, Abrams and her media allies would like to revise the record by insisting that she is in fact a pragmatic moderate.
Us normal folk call this 'rewriting history'.
"A helium blimp, not hydrogen! Stable!"
Astead Herndon's most recent piece in the New York Times suggests the Stacey Abrams rebranding effort is well underway. Herndon, author of articles such as "Menace Enters the Republican Mainstream," conducted his own "review" of Abrams's political ideology and found "a leader who has carefully calibrated her positions, making a point to avoid drifting into one Democratic lane or another."
That's because she's taking up all of the lanes.
The article includes a revealing quote from Democratic megadonor Steve Phillips about why white progressives, who comprise the vast majority of party activists and professional journalists, (we've noticed they're one and the same too! - ed.) have been so willing to embrace Abrams as one of their own. "It's hard for white progressives to be too critical of someone who is so strongly and fiercely unapologetically Black and female," Phillips told the Times. "Her authenticity comes from the sectors that are the core parts of the progressive base."
Because you're a racist if you criticize black Democrats.
The article goes on to quote an Abrams spokesman who confirmed that the former progressive icon is actually a pragmatic moderate now who "defines herself by her values and her ability to navigate the buffet table at Golden Corral deliver results for the common good by navigating disparate groups and ideologies."
...
This year's election cycle is shaping up unlike the double-wide Stacey Abrams who hasn't seen a gym since high school to be even more unfavorable for Democrats, mostly as a result of Joe Biden's failed presidency. If Abrams has to pretend to be a moderate to have any shot at winning, the media will be more than happy to oblige.
At least someone's reading the tea leaves and knows Democrats are in for a world of hurt in ten months which cannot come fast enough.
