Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Geez, what is it with the New York Times?
In today’s issue they have, in the op-ed section, a risible piece of concern trolling bearing the headline “Why Are Democrats Jilting G.O.P. Voters Who Want to Like Them?” It begins:
Under President Trump, a small slice of America’s electorate seeks a reason to call the Democratic Party home for the very first time. But without adequate hospitality to welcome them, they will disappear quickly.

With a few exceptions on particular policies, the Democratic presidential field neglects abundant pools of potential Democrat converts, leaving persuadable audiences — like independents and Trump-averse, anti-abortion Christians (some of whom are white evangelicals) — without options.

The exception is Representative Tulsi Gabbard, the candidate making the most visible effort to help moderates and newbies feel included…
The piece is by “Ericks Anderson,” who is, we are advised in an uninformative tagline, “is a freelance writer in Indianapolis.” I like this take better: “a writer whose credentials are a wee bit opaque.” That’s from Steve M. over at No More Mister Niceblog. Steve and some of his readers have turned over a couple of rocks and enlightened us further. Guess what? She’s a right-wing hack! Hoocoodanode?
Andersen pitched this perfectly to the Times: Here's an oh-so-sincere-seeming voice from the heartland, here to advise all the silo-dwelling lefties that they really, really should do a better job of outreach to Middle America, for the lefties' own good. This is catnip for the Times. In that guise, we get propaganda for the candidate most likely to run as a third-party spoiler in 2020.
Oh, and box?

cordially,
New Not that you should.
