It’s not just that people are struggling under the current economic conditions.

It’s that the Democrats responded to it by telling voters that inflation has gone down and the economy is great and anyone trying to convince them times are hard are actually just lying. It was infuriating to be talked down to that way and people rejected it.

That’s why I favor building a labor party and splintering the Democrats away from their shitty party. Their party is full of people who do not belong and would be more at home in a different party, if we had a system that wasn’t so unfavorable to third parties.

The only choice is to replace the Democrats as the only other party. Let all the right-wing Democrats join the Republicans and we build a new party with everyone who is left.

Seems… Impossibly hard to do though.

There is no home for progressives in the Democratic Party. At this point the only hope is to go independent like Sanders or join one of the third parties and abandon Democrats entirely. Democrats will never learn.

If only there was some🔻thing we could do.

The one bright side of Trump’s victory is this stupid bullshit will end.

America won’t like that.

… Unless you’re going to tell me her campaign was somehow unaware of this fairly widely published IMEU poll.

They were in a bubble of other blue-no-matter-who media and were assured by the consultants from Clinton’s campaign and the Labour Party that they could ignore those polls.

So really, it would have taken a big enough push from the public that MSNBC became anti-genocide. Hypothetically it could have happened, but the Democratic base is too disorganized to pull that kind of bottom-up messaging coup off.

If Democrats knew they’d lose for supporting genocide,.they wouldn’t have done it. It’s precisely because blue-no-matter-who voters convinced them that they were invincible that they ended up losing. They thought they could bully the base into voting for them because enough of the base was willing to be bullied and proud of it.

On the other side, Trump is more likely to lose the war on Palestine.

There needs to be a purge within the Party. These corporate freaks and consultants and their pet politicians must be expelled from the Party. Democrats can’t allow them to call the shots anymore.

Like Obama?

Democrats will learn nothing from this.

Harris spent her whole campaign trying to win over Republicans! The campaign strategy was to take the Dem base for granted and focus solely on people who are swayed by the likes of Liz Cheney.

As part of the Biden administration she’s already party to genocide and a crackdown against asylum seekers and tried to help pass a fascist border bill. The fascist agenda against migrants is on the march and she’s just fine with it.

It would have been so easy! When Harris skipped Netanyahu’s address to Congress I thought they were going to do it, even.

They couldn’t even pretend for a week.

So if Texas started exterminating everyone in immigration detention camps you’d absolve Harris of all responsibility.

Because they’re Redditeurs

Israel is destroying the UN, what are you talking about? They aren’t just evil,. they’re blatantly violating all international laws and attacking UN peace keepers and declaring UN agencies to be terrorist organizations.

If Israel does not face consequences for what it is doing then the UN will go the way of the League of Nations.

So you have no red line.

In 2028 when Harris is exterminating everyone in the immigration detention camps you’ll vote for her because Republicans are worse.

Individual persons that happen to be Black, sure.

But to characterize this as “Black voters” paints a picture that there’s some kind of large constituency of Black Trump supporters even though that’s clearly not the case. It’s a tiny minority of a minority population.

Harris has done a good job appealing to fiscal conservatives, she might have peeled some business owners away.
