MicroWaveTrump AG Prospect Warns Letitia James: 'We Will Put Your Fat Ass In Prison'
Hobbes_DentFirst they came for…
Fuck it, you want this.
Admiral PatrickI get where you’re coming from, but I don’t and voted against it. And tried to get as many people to join me as I could. I tried.
seaQueueIt’s hard to motivate people to show up when the platform has been “it puts the neoliberal on its skin or else it gets the Trump (again)” for 8y. Couldn’t we have talked jobs and material improvements for the lower and middle class or something?
No. Just no.
The Democrats did not fail us. WE DID. We failed. The threat of Trump 2.0 was apparent to all. If that’s not enough motivation to at least show the hell up to vote and kick the can down the road on better things, then nothing is. Every democratic voter who stayed home or voted 3rd party was derelict in their civic duty to prevent something worse.
If we don’t hold then accountable, they will never change.
The campaign was weak, they waited too long to switch off Biden, they kept the genocide going and didn’t offer any hope.
People that didn’t vote suck but there’s enough blame to go around. We can have an honest discussion on how fucked the dems keep acting now that’s it over.
There’s a difference between not disparaging them before the election and not enabling their behavior after it.
No. I’m not going to blame the fire department for not putting out the fire because they didn’t tap dance to my satisfaction.
We all saw there was a fire, but too many people still asked the people who would put it out (or at least not make it worse) to dance.
I feel like they did the equivalent of watching it burn, as the fire department. Gaza was a fire they could have put out, they let it burn. They were making headway on climate change and then promoted fracking at the debate. Biden was clearly going to be a problem but they just let it burn until it was a mess.
We have to be vocal. People want change. We can’t have another election where the dems run on “at least we aren’t pouring gasoline on it like the GOP”.
They don’t need pity, their feelings don’t have to be protected. We can be harsh with them.
That’s the part the DNC doesn’t get. Every single successful campaign since 2000 has run on a change and reform platform. This time they ran with “we’ll continue business as usual” and it’s absolutely no surprise they were crushed.
Voters want reform so that 95% of the profit from the economy doesn’t go to Wall St. Voters want public spending on things that make everyone’s daily lives better. Better roads, more reliable electrical grids, bridges that aren’t falling apart, downtowns with actual businesses that aren’t corporate franchises, houses that they can afford. Reboot the CCC and offer jobs building those things, offer jobs that pay enough for people to move out of their parent’s houses and start their own lives, offer to crack down on corporate profiteering, offer labor something other than “we’re less bad than the Republicans are.” Offer to bootstrap small and medium businesses, talk about kick-starting American manufacturing, talk about the jobs you’ll create and the spending you’ll do making lives better for everyone rather than just the corporate profiteers.
We already know that neoliberalism works for Wall St, voters are waiting to hear about what works for them too. Make that the core of your campaign if you want to win the popularity contest.
That’s the part the DNC doesn’t get. Every single successful campaign since 2000 has run on a change and reform platform.
Oh, they get it. The DNC exists to prevent meaningful change and reform from actually happening.
