“Liberalism always finds itself beleaguered at a moment of radical polarization,” journalist and historian James Traub writes in his deft and thoughtful biography of Hubert Humphrey to be published next month. While the right wing has organized around the destruction of liberalism and the far left denounces liberals as gutless sellouts, Traub argues that studying the life of Humphrey—the late mayor of Minneapolis, senator, and vice president—is instructive, cautionary, and inspiring. His thesis is correct on all three counts. Despite the powerful position of liberals in government, including President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, liberalism has descended to a cultural nadir. Unpopular and misunderstood among the authoritarian right and socialist left, liberals must defend themselves against the self-contradictory accusations that they are intent on “destroying America,” in the words of Donald Trump and his right-wing media acolytes and that they are cowardly guardians of the status quo who, to quote independent presidential candidate Cornel West, offer nothing but “self-righteousness against Donald Trump.”

It's really funny just how much all the democrats in the 60s hated eachother

RFK thought that LBJ was an arrogant loud-mouthed hick.

LBJ thought that RFK was a pretentious upper-class asshole.

Hubert Humphrey was disliked because he was seen as being a stooge for LBJ, despite the fact they didn't get along super well.

McCarthy was seen as a defeatist and a radical for his opposition to the Vietnam War.

McGovern was also seen as too radical for his opposition to the war and his support for UBI, despite his support from young people.

Wallace hated, and was hated by, the rest of the national Democratic party because he was, you know, a dixiecrat.

The Dixiecrats hated the northern Democrats, and vice versa.

JFK didn't like LBJ, but he recognized that he was an important running mate.

It's a wonder any of them actually managed to work together when most of them loathed each other.

Passionate Patriots: 1968 DNC Nightmare in Chicago

. Source:FRS FreeState The Democratic Party cost themselves the presidential election of 1968 and a chance to win the White House for a third straight time and 8-10 presidential elections, going back to 1932 with FDR. To go along with another Democratic Congress because of how divided they were on the Vietnam War. A lot of that can be blamed on President Johnson’s handling of the Vietnam War, but…

My friends, to those who say that we are rushing this issue of civil rights, I say to them we are 172 years late. To those who say that this civil-rights program is an infringement on states’ rights, I say this: The time has arrived in America for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadow of states' rights and to walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights. People—human beings—this is the issue of the 20th century. People of all kinds—all sorts of people—and these people are looking to America for leadership, and they’re looking to America for precept and example.

—Hubert H. Humphrey, 1948 Democratic National Convention Address, Philadelphia, PA, July 14, 1948

Looks a good thing from the Guardian on Hubert Humphrey... a decent man and great politician! Shame that he lost to Sweaty Dick, with help from George Wallace.

The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America by Thurston Clarke

I revisited a book about the campaign of #RobertFKennedy for President in 1968. I was not surprised to find out that many of the issues #RFK was campaigning about are still with us as a society #BookReview #TheLastCampaign #ThurstonClarke #bargainsleuth

The definitive account of Robert Kennedy’s exhilarating and tragic 1968 campaign for president–a revelatory history that is especially resonant now After John F. Kennedy’s assassination, Robert Kennedy–formerly Jack’s no-holds-barred political warrior–almost lost hope. He was haunted by his brother’s murder, and by the nation’s seeming inabilities to solve its problems of race, poverty, and the…
