"If what you want is a centrist campaign that's quiet on trans issues, tough on the border, distances itself from Palestinians, talks a lot about law and order, and reaches out to moderate Republicans, that candidate existed and she just lost" ~John Oliver on dems moving right
The Democrats lost this election because they ignored the justified anger of working class America and became the defenders of a rigged economy and political system. @GlobeOpinion bostonglobe.com/2024/11/10/opi…
Dems have spent the past 8 years destroying the one movement that could have saved them. Bernie's class first populism won over exactly the type of voters (Latinos, working class, bros, Joe Rogan!) that Dems now repel. dropsitenews.com/p/bernie-would…
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.
I’ve felt this way since I was a kid, so I’m biased, but my explanation for this is deep inequality, not ignorance. Half of Americans don’t own stocks, so don’t care about the market. Going from $15/hour to $18/hour is cold comfort when the cost of a mortgage grows much faster.
Roughly *67%* of voters rated the economy as "not so good/poor," per Washington Post exit polls A shockingly poor number amid a hot labor market, booming stocks, much lower inflation, growing GDP But widespread voter dissatisfaction w/ the economy been clear for years
The thing about a political strategy that focuses on winning affluent voters is that under capitalism there are simply more working class people than there are capitalists or professional managers
Staggering class realignment/shift in working class Harris lost DESPITE major shift of affluent voters her way 2020: Trump wins voters over $100K, 54-52 2024: *Harris* wins voters over $100K, 54-45 2020: Biden wins voters $50K-$100K, 57-42 2024: *Trump* w/ voters $50K-$100K,…
Reminder to be diligent and check your child’s candy on Halloween. Last year, I found a union card in my daughter’s Snickers and she’s renegotiated her allowance and wants hazard pay for taking out the trash.
Donald Trump pretended to work at a McDonald’s. Democrats fixed the McDonald’s ice cream machines.
Thanks to @CopyrightOffice, McDonald’s franchisees now have the right to repair their own ice cream machines. In March @FTC filed a comment in support of this change, and we’ll keep using our tools to protect people’s right to repair. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…
I’ve been all over the country in the last month. And I get asked the same question, over and over again: “I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?” Here is my answer:
📣Election Day is 8 days away! Follow Marty’s instructions to vote #YesOn3 & stand with Massachusetts’s rideshare drivers. After you cast your vote for President, don't forget to vote all the way down the ballot & vote #YesOn3 Your vote brings us closer to a real voice on the job
The Puerto Rican community has made significant contributions to the United States in various areas. Contributions to culture, politics, and science illustrate how the Puerto Rican community enriches the fabric of American society across multiple dimensions.
Michael, a rideshare driver with years of experience, shares why having a seat at the table matters. Now through Nov 5th, MA residents can make a difference by voting YES on Question 3. Support drivers in their campaign for a voice on the job and fair treatment. #VoteYesOn3
Alright I went and early voted (wrote in Joe Biden, obviously). On a serious note, early voting is ongoing all through next week, please take the time to cast your ballot on or before November 5th.
Just got my covid booster and immediately I’m overcome by an intense desire to go early vote for all the Democrats…
