The most tired debate in Democratic politics is the one on class versus race -- 
should Democrats focus on the white working class and risk losing black and 
brown base voters? Or should they write off the WWC and focus on inspiring the 
base and driving them to vote in higher numbers? We published a new book today 
at Strong Arm Press that is so persuasively argued  
<http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/DgE/ni0YAA/t.2hy/mVjGMlmgQDqAeLjQPUpLyw/h0/FoYQZ5NNSFcIh9e1dB3diwxAXzdlDQYQY4N05HNSpP-2BcM3eMsdGyqwd3tURzIowTeBHiWYPC7ggUs-2FwVDF82yJ4r7gU6mMuEXqUbke1vvAjW2c5Pi1MpiDl-2BK49gfDZ3W4Rq1tzZmUpI5vEzmR9xGLhPGu-2BvIMqMcd5YT-2B43jOqX3DpX0-2BQDnK0CrzIowA-2F348nBFPzNvhFQm9Htew2-2BFqA2BPo6qEgP8qaU67KozOK2NPIdoDAQ6N-2BLvM96SvvcTr3kb991iHSkRUbdePPaAg-3D-3D>
 and deeply researched that it ought to bury this conversation once and for 
all: The answer is that to do well with both groups, you must confront race 
head on, and you must have a potent economic message for everybody.

It's a bit counter-intuitive at first but then as you move through the book it 
eventually makes perfect sense. And despite the sophisticated nature of the 
conversation, it’s quite an easy read. Based on extensive analysis of polling, 
focus groups and innovative new research techniques, Mike Lux has produced a 
must-read piece of work

  for anybody interested in campaigns and Democratic politics (and the good 
news is that it comes in significantly under 200 pages, so you can get through 
it in just a few commutes).

The book is coming out of the gate strong, already ranked 5,000th, which isn’t 
that bad. But I bet we can get it into the top 100 over the weekend or next 
week. 

Google scoop: The company that started as a search engine with a the motto 
“Don’t Be Evil” is now getting deeper and deeper into using artificial 
intelligence to power drone warfare. After The Intercept first reported on its 
contracting scheme with the Pentagon, Google employees pushed back, and Google 
executives told them not to worry, it was just a tiny contract. Lee Fang has a 
new story out tonight showing that, in fact 
<http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/DgE/ni0YAA/t.2hy/mVjGMlmgQDqAeLjQPUpLyw/h2/3iaThca61p2tcSwqPS1jRnBtsk7wY1tcYBUKI2geYwnDhNJv1fnfZVbr2dAkhm0ZAC1FSaXo4I4OC-2F-2FefgH3Vj5EAuViRhM4AnjPdBxtPXagA62U-2BOkEilxSwCEu8X9kkey0-2BCOW91ExFPfcKImPT0lHuUY0FVavlWbLDEQ-2FZDAFD4gDDph4yan9BiYZjWvwBQcEUtLWHSO4a-2FnA3GLu6KC6wvWggamfqIn7oElaDGGRSIRn7mF8-2Fz5YO58UjUgA0voOzXNJKc3VjJr8Wpe-2FTcawuVkWgJ-2FtVHwsl9jONgE-3D>
 , it was a contract with a potential to rise to $250 million and it was linked 
to an effort worth billions.

Google this spring removed nearly all mentions of “Don’t Be Evil” from its code 
of conduct. Really.
