in the unlikely event that an elite eight between iowa and illinois occurs everyone meet at the quad cities like an hour before tip and we can throw stuff at each other over the river

Love how centrist discourse right now is “We need people with our exact politics and beliefs and feuds but also with a Bernie Sanders level of anger and excitement around them.” Like gee man I wonder why that hasn’t happened yet.

Conservatives: Kids should go hungry. Fuck kids. We fucking hate kids.

Democrats: How are we supposed to message around this?

Pro tip: If you're a liberal & you're mad at "Bernie Bros" but not angry at the Dem operatives who hid Biden's decline until after a possible primary & who then engineered a loss in what they called the most important election in history, then please realize: you're the problem.

If only Democrats had some model from our past for how to win popular support and beat back right-wing authoritarianism.

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

Trump has a narrative that immigrants and Hollywood cultural elites are fucking you over and ruining the country. Democrats have zero narrative. The reality is that corporations and billionaires have bought our government to represent them and not you. That's who's screwing you over and if democrats don't say this explicitly they will continue to lose.

[We’re In Hell @WereInHellYT]

Make no mistake the republicans cheated. All they did was appeal to their most extreme base, you’re not allowed to do that. You have to alienate the base and focus all your energy on winning over a median voter you made up. It’s not fair

[Jessica Burbank @JessicaLBurbank]

There is not a single swing state that Kamala would’ve won if EVERY single Jill Stein, Cornell West, & Claudia De La Cruz voted for her.

In states where Trump won by a large margin, populist economic policies won.

It’s hilarious to watch people who only engage in politics every four years reduce Kamala’s likely loss solely to her identity, instead of acknowledging the deeply flawed platform and party issues of the Democrats.

[onion person @CantEverDie]

the country didn’t “move far right”, trump got less votes than he did in 2020. democrats just completely fumbled their coalition and alienated entire bases of voters

[Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️‍⚧️ @LeftieStats]

🇺🇸 Democrats spent 4 years desperately trying to get "moderate" Republicans to break from Trump.

The result? 94% of Republicans voted Trump - exactly the same as in 2020, while Democrat vote dropped.
