That contempt for workers and adoration of corporate donors is why the democrats lost ground in almost every single demographic. The alarming part is they flatly wont admit why they lost. They learned absolutely nothing. The sheer arrogance of the DNC is astounding.
Their arrogance is the arrogance of the average liberal.
They still refuse to accept the fact that neoliberalism sows the seeds of fascism. They'll support fascism sooner than they'll support a highly regulated and tightly contained capitalism.
Showing more and more why Harris was not liked. Suddenly all the union moves make more sense.
Cutting a meeting short by 20 minutes, only taking 3/17 questions and telling them to "get onboard"? No, that's presumptive and disrespectful regardless of who does it.
And sheer idiocy on her part.
So you want Dems to be judged on the same standards as the Republicans? Guess we gotta start excusing any Dems that do crimes because we can't have them be the only one to get shit on.
You've got a real "just a prank, bro" style of dialogue.
It comes off as negative because it's consistent with Democrats' withering contempt for people who work for a living.
OMG you guys, we definitely shouldn't vote for her now after this major snafu.
This unironically.
The Neoliberals have shown they are incapable of representing their voters anymore.
We need a progressive party
There are multiple progressive parties.
Edit: Why the downvotes? This is objectively true. We need one of our existing progressive parties to actually get votes, we don't need another new party to split votes.
The election is over...
And these are the takeaways
It may not be the last one. Or even her last one.
For president? I highly doubt she'd try again.
Aged like milk 😬
Aged like RAW milk
The Teamster President who spoke at the RNC even after all that Republicans have done to destroy unions? And he said this on the Tucker Carlson, a nepo baby who hates the working class?
The down votes on this is interesting …?
Why listen to reality when you can downvote your problems away. It's what they did in 2016 and 2024, why stop now?
