Then become one of the two parties.
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!
Then become one of the two parties.
Didn’t Eli Valley predict this exactly? Like, as soon as Trump won, Democrats would “bravely” stand up and declare that genocide is wrong.
The inherent implication is that every man that is killed deserves it, whether that’s the intended implication or not.
Almost the entire Knesset.
During the Biden-Harris years, more granular data pointed to considerable strain. Real median household income fell relative to its pre-COVID peak. The poverty rate ticked up, as did the jobless rate. The number of Americans spending more than 30 percent of their income on rent climbed. The delinquency rate on credit cards surged, as did the share of families struggling to afford enough nutritious food, as did the rate of homelessness.
Government transfers buoyed families early in the Biden administration. But they contributed to inflation, and much of the money went away in the second half of Biden’s term. The food-stamp boost, the extended child tax credit, the big unemployment-insurance payments—each expired. And the White House never passed the permanent care-economy measures it had considered.
Interest rates were a problem too. The mortgage rate more than doubled during the Biden-Harris years, making credit-card balances, car payments, and homes unaffordable. A family purchasing a $400,000 apartment with 20 percent down would pay roughly $2,500 a month today versus $1,800 three years ago.
I dunno, that all looks pretty bad too. The lesson from this election is that you can’t tunnel vision on the numbers that look good while dismissing the ones that look bad, but that’s exactly what Democrats did. Worse, when working class voters expressed their pain, Democrats talked down to them and basically told them it wasn’t real and they were being tricked by fake news.
Is Nick Fuentes an innocent bystander?
The violence of the oppressors is normalized because they can pass laws to enforce it. The only violence you’re opposed to is the defense of the oppressed.
The island of stability known as compromise.
😔
The Party won’t.
My hope is that a lot of Party members do, though. It’d be nice if progressives stopped trying to do entryism into the Democrats.
Hence, Democrats suck a propaganda.
They should field and finance their own radio jockeys and be flooding the airways with their own counter messages, but instead they’ve abandoned that terrain to the right and now are paying for it.
Lowering inflation doesn’t lower prices, and prices are what voters actually care about.
Prices won’t be going down under Trump either, though, so I’m not sure how much credit Trump will get.
Let’s not obfuscate with “oligarchs” either.
They’re the bourgeoisie. It’s the same struggle now as it was 100 years ago.
He would have lost even harder.
Except they made the tent big enough for Liz Cheney, but not big enough to let a Palestinian-American speak at the Convention.
It wasn’t even that surprising. What kind of bubble do these people live in?
Did you even volunteer for Harris or donate to her campaign? 🙄
Don’t be ridiculous.
At least a dozen Democrats will reach across the isle to work with them. 😒
I didn’t realize I was part of a protest movement! 😲
This assumes that Democrats want to win at any cost. Listening to Sanders is a bridge too far.
Democrats would rather lose than do even the most tepid social democratic reformism.
Bernie tried twice, Democrats demonstrated their ability to stop that shit in its tracks. It will not work.
The only solution is for progressives to abandon the Party and start their own to replace it. The US has replaced parties before, it can be done again.
