FDR, 1936: "Government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob. Never before in our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they are today. They are unanimous in their hate-and I welcome their hatred!"
The voters:
The Labour Party just got a 4.5 year warning of what awaits them if they can’t make enough of an impact on people’s lives to build a genuinely enthusiastic coalition of support.
MIssouri voters voting for abortion rights, an increase in the minimum wage, and paid sick leave, and a senator and a president who strongly oppose these things is where we are in a nutshell
The election of Donald Trump is a dark day for reproductive healthcare, the rights of refugees and the future of our planet.
As we speak, people are being slaughtered in Gaza and Lebanon. Our demands on our governments have not changed: stop enabling genocide and end all arms sales to Israel.
We are a global movement, made up of all faiths and backgrounds, united in our opposition to racism and hatred. We will never abandon hope in a more equal, sustainable and peaceful world.
If they had a lick of sense and an ounce of bravery they would go scorched earth in these final months. Lost the presidency and the senate? Just do it. But I don’t think they have it in them.
I’m seeing people talk about the worldwide trend of countries moving right, and I think that has to be largely understood as the failure of neoliberalism. As liberal parties move right they stop delivering for people and find themselves in political no mans land.
The Biden administration’s dream of finding a way to save a discredited interventionist foreign policy doctrine has clearly ended in disaster. They refused to face political reality for what it was, tried to engineer it into what they wanted, and failed miserably.
The key lesson of the Trump victory for us is that Labour has to deliver the significant improvement in quality of life that people can feel or we face the rise of right wing populism that has swept America. Half measures won’t be enough.
Abortion rights are beating Kamala in every single state that voted on them.
Progressive policies aren't unelectable - unpopular Democratic politicians are.
There is no majority for MAGA agenda but Biden/Harris’s Dem Party cannot credibly lead the movement we need to stop it. It’s essential that we build organized political power that can offer a true alternative to this far-right dystopia. You can’t beat the right by shifting right.
BREAKING: Over 50 states have called for an immediate arms embargo against Israel, "a legal, humanitarian and moral imperative to put an end to grave human suffering".
