@GhostOnTheHalfShell A strong case can be made that the entire appeal of the postwar neoliberal consensus was that moral arguments were unneeded. Everyone would pretend everyone supported the same goal, everyone would agree to use slightly different ratios of the same tools, and everyone could just get to prosperin’.
The refusal to acknowledge the end of that tenuous agreement — and the insistence on pretending violations of it will be punished by the electorate — characterizes the modern DNC.

It is something the far right, conservatives, have understood for some decades now.
From modern psychology, information is not an argument.
The substance of people's outlooks comes from confrontation with their moral sentiment, an intrinsic instinctive sense of what is right or fair.
Most political opposition has an enlightenment fetish. They refused to understand the importance, if not centrality, of moral appeal.
