Summary
Historians suggest Democrats might have fared better against Donald Trump by embracing the economic issues championed by Senator Bernie Sanders, who has long pushed for a focus on “bread-and-butter” concerns for working-class voters.
Despite Kamala Harris’s progressive policies, polls showed Trump was favored on economic issues, particularly among working-class and Hispanic voters.
Historian Leah Wright Rigueur argued that Sanders’ messaging on economic struggles could be key for future Democratic strategies.
Sanders himself criticized the party for “abandoning” the working class, which he said has led to a loss of support across racial lines.
The screams of “Dems need to move right” (not from Bernie, obv) are fucking clown shoes and hilarious. She was running around with Liz and Dick Motherfucking Cheney. There’s no more right to move to without literally just embracing Trump.
But here’s the thing: libs keep cutting their noses off. Why would the actual left give the DNC the fucking time of day? They raise a billion fucking dollars, light it all on fire and go out to brunch. They co-opt movements like the Floyd uprising and metoo but leave everyone else to do the actual work. When we need bodies in the streets, when we need material support, when we fucking TELL THEM WHAT POLICIES WILL WORK FOR US, they spout some 1950s realpolitik bullshit and have some more wine.
Biden: you’re immune. Have some fun with it. Show us you have skin I the game. $100 says he keeps up this “when they go low we go high” bullshit and does somewhere between nothing and the bare minimum.
You may not remember, but it’s only been a few months since Biden said he “wouldn’t really care if trump won as long as he tried his best”.
He literally doesn’t have any skin in the game, the party leaders don’t really give a fuck.
Not only did he say that, he thought it helped show he could continue running after shitting the debate.
This is the most infuriating part, and it made me happy I kept replying STOP to all their fucking “ZOMG 10X MATCHING” texts. They blew all that money and their political consultant cronies made out like bandits. They outraised and outspent Trump and have fuck all to show for it.
Not only that,they’re still sending them to help with recounting.
were on our knees to stop trump, by only fund raising not doing anything to actually deal with the issues
The most Democratic Party thing ever was the “Send us $15” text they sent within minutes after Roe was overturned.
I mean, why would the DNC give he left the time of day?
Passed biggest climate bill, forgave most student loans in history, rescheduled weed, etc. And yet? It’s never good enough nor enough to give them a chance to do more.
All with a threadbare Senate majority with two “independent” dems and only two years of a house majority.
They did not reschedule weed. It’s still Schedule I. Crime Bill Biden ran out the clock like he always intended to.
EDIT: Downvoting it doesn’t magically pull cannabis out of Schedule I.
They literally didn’t, I don’t know why you’re being downvoted.
…I mean I know why, but its wild.
Centrists see that Trump has a cult of morons who will believe any lie they’re told, and get mad at anyone who demonstrates that they don’t have that too.
It’s why they courted Republicans, they wanted that same “they’ll do anything we say” energy.
And worse, they assumed they already had it and were fiercely hostile to anyone who pointed out that they didn’t.
The real proof in the pudding is the way the greens took such a large percentage of the elecetoral college vote so obviously to recapture all that the dems need to move left. The people have shown their power.
