We must keep his legacy and the movement going. Not me. Us.
While presenting itself as the antidote to a rising fascist tide, establishment liberalism is in denial about the many ways it has been the cause or enabler of that tide.
I’m used to it by now. You should have seen me on Twitter during the 2016/2020 campaigns. It was rough!
Welp.
And now? Oof.
Yes.
Dem Insiders Begged Team Harris Not to Campaign With Liz Cheney. “People don’t want to be in a coalition with the devil,” says a Democratic source who was appalled by Harris’ embrace of Dick Cheney
I was listening to CNN on the commute home tonight and one of the pundits said “The Democratic party needs to shake things up with some younger leadership… There’s a lot of great people in their 50s and 60s in the party that could step up!”
Clown party. They are not serious. Ugh.
She was holding out so that Hillary could pick her replacement. Welp…
Thanks Democratic party for being such an out of touch dog shit party. You caused this.
Every time someone screamed the writing on the wall out loud, centrists who were so happy that the party was finally embracing genocide and Cheney were like “Russian! Tankie! Trumpist!”
Edit: the downvotes prove my point hah
“It’s broken because of Biden and she should have fixed it during the last four years.” It’s stupid logic but that’s what it came down to for some.
It’s the economy. They can scream the economy numbers are great but the people are feeling it differently at the grocery store, gas station, paying rent, etc.
Trump vs Harris vs The Couch.
Kamala Harris truly is Hillary Clinton 2.0.
Many of Harris’s mistakes were similar to those Hillary Clinton made in 2016. Like Clinton, Harris cozied up to billionaire donors. Mark Cuban, for instance, said he was delighted that Harris was abandoning Democrats’ commitments to progressive principles and letting the business community propose the policies it wanted. Like Clinton, Harris and Tim Walz made hubristic campaign stops in solidly red states like Texas and Kentucky rather than spending the final days laser-focused on crucial battlegrounds. Like Clinton, Harris emphasized celebrity endorsements while failing to successfully court unions. (Most notably, the Teamsters declined to endorse her after she refused to pledge that she wouldn’t break a national railway strike.) Like Clinton, Harris focused too much on the danger of Donald Trump (which is very real) and not enough on the reasons why she would be good at being president herself.
I’ve never used Lemmy on a computer. It’s all only on my phone. My thumb is sore. Ha!
No you don’t. Stay with us.
She does have type 1 diabetes but it’s manageable.
