Vincent Oriedo, a biotechnology scientist, had just such a question. What lessons have been learned, he asked, from Harris’s defeat in this vital swing county in a crucial battleground state that voted for Joe Biden four years ago, and how are the Democrats applying them?
“They did not answer the question,” he said.
“It tells me that they haven’t learned the lessons and they have their inner state of denial. I’ve been paying careful attention to the influencers within the Democratic party. Their discussions have centred around, ‘If only we messaged better, if only we had a better candidate, if only we did all these superficial things.’ There is really a lack of understanding that they are losing their base, losing constituencies they are taking for granted.”
“We have set ourselves up for generational loss because we keep promoting from within leaders that that do not criticise the moneyed interests. They refuse to take a hard look at what Americans actually believe and meet those needs.”
Corporations and Republicans control the media. Putin deployed psyops on the social media of the bar room and bowling alley crowd. They controlled the narrative and will continue to control it until people wake up and realize they have become wage slaves who have a shit-hole standard of living.
The funniest part of it is that republicans took control of the media under the pretense that it was under the control of liberals and that was a bad thing. Now tge Sinclair media group pumps flagrant right wing propaganda directly through local news affiliates
If Democrats hadn’t made a bunch of unnecessary and unforced errors, then we could blame it on the corpos and the Russians.
And what are you going to do about it next time? Otherwise the same thing will happen again.
Same thing they do every cycle. Move as far to the right as possible and tell anyone who doesn’t like it that they will be voting as instructed because the alternative isn’t second worst.
It doesn’t matter that they have seen that strategy fail twice against the same guy. Centrists would rather have fascism than move to the left for any reason on any issue.
I honestly didn’t hear many lefty policies
and until lefties learn that bitching about whether it was actually the DNC that made them lose or the fact that it was actually just minorities not voting hard enough or whatever cope people are using these days. This will keep working, that’s the problem.
Everybody loves to shit on the left and the DNC when it’s convenient, and then leech off of them when possible, while ignoring all the positives that have been gained through even an admittedly flawed institution.
Unfortunately none of this matters if the republicans psyop everybody in america, at the end of the day we have to win not winning, IS losing, and losing is simply not sustainable.
