Doug Jones vs. Roy Moore: Lesser evilism wins in Alabama
/ 12 hours ago
Jan. 2018 Doug JonesBy JEFF MACKLER
“Our opponent,” said Kayla Moore, wife of the now defeated Republican
Party U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, “who is an ultra-liberal, who
was an Obama delegate, who is for full-term abortions, who is for more
gun restrictions, who is for transgender bathrooms, who is for
transgender [people] in the military—is against everything we in Alabama
believe and stand for.”
“Opponent” Doug Jones, who on Dec. 12 became the first Alabama Democrat
elected to the Senate in 25 years, replied, “If you look at the
positions I’ve got on health care, if you look at the positions I got on
jobs, you should look at the support I have from the business community,
I think I’m pretty mainstream. I want to reach across the aisle…”
Jones often explained his reference to the “aisle” with a story about
two Civil War generals, one from Maine, the other from the slave state
of Alabama. They faced off at the historic Battle of Gettsyburg. Then we
were on different sides, he explains. Today we must work together,
“across the aisle.” This was Jones’s way of appealing to at least some
of the Southern racist bigots needed for his victory.
The not so perfect and clean newcomer Jones favors increased spending on
the military. He also is quite frank on the abortion issue, stating, “I
fully support a woman’s freedom to choose what happens to her own body.
That is an intensely, intensely personal decision that only she, in
consultation with her god, her doctor, her partner or family, that’s her
choice” (emphasis added).
For many Alabama voters, the “mainstream” Jones served as the “lesser
evil” next to the evangelical racist-sexist Judge Roy Moore, who was
backed by Donald Trump and Steve Bannon. Moore was accused by multiple
women of pursuing relationships with them when they were teenagers and
he was in his 30s. Some of them accused Moore of sexual abuse.
In 2003 Moore was removed as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court
by the Alabama Court of the Judiciary for refusing a federal court order
to remove a marble monument of the Ten Commandments he had installed in
the lobby of the Alabama Judicial Building. He often presented his view
that the Sept. 11, 2001, New York City Twin Towers terror bombing was
the Lord’s divine punishment for America’s “blasphemous” toleration of
homosexuality and women’s right to choose abortion. I can only wonder if
Moore’s 9/11 wrath was directed at New Yorkers because they live in the
North as opposed to his beloved racist South.
One would think that Moore’s outrageous views would serve as a major
handicap, even in today’s Deep South. The Alabama Senate race came to
national attention when the Democrats saw a wide-open opportunity to
pick up a Senate seat from the very vulnerable Republican sexist bigot.
Yet, Moore almost won, receiving 72 percent of the white male vote and
63 percent of the white female vote. It was only the massive Black vote,
well over 90 percent, combined with disgruntled Republicans whose
usually stuffed campaign coffers did not fully materialize, that
defeated him.
Doug Jones, a 1997 Clinton-appointed U.S. attorney for the Northern
District of Alabama in Birmingham, had previously been the lead
prosecutor in a 1992 case against two of the four Ku Klux Klan members
responsible for the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing that killed
four African-American girls. Thomas Edwin Blanton Jr. and Bobby Frank
Cherry were found guilty of those murders in 2001 and 2002,
respectively. Each was sentenced to four life terms.
“Justice” was done in Alabama, almost three decades after the murders!
Never having held elected office, Doug Jones was slated as the man of
the hour.
Few, if any, corporate mainstream reporters were inclined to review the
South’s political history prior to this election contest—25 Republican
years since the last Democrat was elected was history enough. The fact
that it was only in 1968, when Republican presidential candidate Richard
Nixon’s infamous “Southern strategy” was deployed, that the South turned
decisively to the Republicans was not mentioned. Nixon campaigned in the
South for “states’ rights,” the code words of Southern Democratic Party
segregationists who desired a return to the good ol’ days of overt
racist white rule and “legal” segregation.
Nixon’s focus in the South was against Democratic Party President Lyndon
Johnson’s 1964 civil rights legislation that formally, but not until
decades later in fact, ended, or better, limited legal segregation.
Under Nixon and his Republican successors, the virulent racist “solid
South” bloc of racist Democratic Party Senators and Congresspersons
became the virulent racist “solid South,” and today “red state,” terrain
of the Republican Party.
Few today care to note that the Democrats originally arose as the party
of post-Civil War plantation owners and Southern capitalists who smashed
the post Civil War Reconstruction-era gains won by Blacks by utilizing
their created organizations like the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the
White Citizens Councils.
All of the racist re-segregation legislation with regard to the
obliteration of civil and democratic rights won following the Civil War
were the product of the former racist slaveholders’ new political
vehicle, the Democratic Party coming to power with the consent of the
former Northern Republican slave state “liberators.”
Indeed, an infamous deal was cut wherein Northern occupying troops would
be withdrawn in return for the former Southern slaveholders’ agreeing to
vote Republican in a future election.
The Lyndon Johnson-era civil rights legislation was qualitatively more a
product and of the massive civil rights mobilizations led by Southern
Blacks than it was the largess of Johnson, who was a Texas
segregationist in his own right—a property owner with codicils included
in his property deeds to ensure that his land could not be sold to Blacks.
Johnson had come to the presidency as John F. Kennedy’s vice president
after the Kennedy assassination. In those days the Democrats’ “strategy”
was to win the presidency with a combination of a “liberal” Northerner
for president and a racist Southern Democrat in the V.P. slot.
The Democrats’ answer to Nixon’s “Southern strategy” was to switch to
running a Democrat of Southern racist heritage for the top spot and a
Northern liberal for V.P. Hence, the more recent Democratic Party
candidacies of Jimmy Carter (Georgia), Al Gore (Tennessee), and Bill
Clinton (Arkansas)—all slick-sounding refurbished Southerners with deep
roots in the racist South. The then segregationist Carter, for example,
was among those pro-Nixon Democrats.
In the 1960s, the “lesser-evilist” Democrats and “progressives” of that
era winced at the inclusion of openly Klan racists on their tickets but
insisted that the Republicans, like Barry Goldwater, were far worse.Jan.
2018 Lesser evil
Today, the lesser-evil swindle is being played out big time, with the
Democrats gearing up for an image change in preparation for 2018 and
then 2020, when they promise to challenge Trump’s increasingly
discredited racist, sexist, populist, proto-fascist tirades. Trump’s
$1.5 trillion tax rip off, opposition hype aside, was a bipartisan affair.
This time out, to be sure, the rhetoric will be modified, but the
content of all twin party ruling-class politics will differ little, if
at all, from the reactionary achievements of the Trump administration.
Indeed, the chief Democratic Party media booster, The New York Times,
recently challenged Trump’s boasts to be top gun with regard to “border
security” and war spending. In a Dec. 19 “Fact Check” article entitled,
“He’s Not the ‘First,’ And It’s Not a ‘Record,’” The Times countered
Trump’s braggadocio with their own facts.
“President Barack Obama,” they stated, “signed a defense authorization
bill of $725 billion for the 2011 fiscal year, more than $150 billion of
which funded continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.” In contrast, said
The Times, Trump’s war budget expenditures were only $626 billion, of
which only $66 billion were earmarked for foreign wars. “Adjusted for
inflation,” The Times added with delight, “the gap” between Obama’s
spending and Trump’s “would be greater still.”
The Times article continued with refutations of Trump’s claims to be
breaking new paths with regard to “border security,” quoting a range of
sources to prove that Obama was world class in this category as well.
Need we mention that Obama, the “great deporter,” had deported more
people than the combined totals of all previous modern-era presidents?
Doug Jones’s objection to Trump’s $20 billion anti-immigrant border wall
proposal was only that it was “too expensive.”
Today’s Democratic Party purveyors of lesser-evil politics, with Bernie
Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and other warmongering capitalist liberals in
the wings, are hailed by virtually every major corporate newspaper in
the country. Doug Jones’s victory was touted as a harbinger of the
hopeful glorious return of the Democrats to power, staring in 2018.
Once again we are heading for a deadly dose of lesser evilism, this time
around in the context of a deeply crisis-ridden casino capitalism, with
no way out for the ruling rich other than through unprecedented
financial speculation (the Dow Jones reached an historic high at
25,000!) and an ever-deepening across the board rip-off of working
people and the oppressed.
The virulent racism and sexism that has been stunningly exposed only
through the courage, activism, and mobilization of its victims, is not
an accidental feature of U.S. society today. It is inherent in the very
foundations of the capitalist order. The recently exposed sexist horrors
perpetuated against women by rich and powerful figures are the norm, not
the exception in every capitalist society.
The recent December 2017 full-page “Time’s Up” New York Times and La
Opinion ads denouncing society’s monstrous sexual atrocities against
women were signed by 300 women prominent in the entertainment industry.
Most important, however, was that the signers went to great lengths to
express the solidarity with 700,000 female farmworkers whose
representatives had published a November open letter in solidarity with
sexually abused women in the entertainment industry. To be sure, these
farmworkers are representative of the millions of women who daily suffer
the almost always ignored or tolerated sexist and violent outrages
committed against them by a repressive society in which
institutionalized racism and sexism are required to maintain and
perpetuate oppression and exploitation.
The increasingly privatized for-profit racist prison-industrial complex
is a prime example. The majority Black, Latino, and Native American
prison population is increasingly sold to private corporations at
“wages” averaging 50 cents per hour. Why hire an immigrant when a
near-slave Black prisoner can be had for less than a tenth of the cost?
If there ever was a time for the country’s working masses to break with
capitalist politics in all its manifestations, now is that time. The
need to return to the streets in unprecedented numbers in massive
mobilizations independent of and against the twin parties’ war and
repression has never been greater, The time for the construction of a
massive independent and fighting labor party, organized and financed by
working people and in alliance with all the oppressed, is now. The
ruling-class one percent has two parties. Working people need one of
their own, a party that fights 24-7 for their cause in the political
arena, in the streets, and at the points of production.

Doug Jones vs. Roy Moore: Lesser evilism wins in Alabama
