Because it keeps on working don't make it right.

Cock Robin

@lowkell @KevinMKruse I can't speak to your specific needs but BlueSky has a lot of people I trust and respect and there does seem to be quite a large migration to there right now. Maybe give it time.

@HeerJeet So many of us voted for him very reluctantly and they never understood that.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

Republicans are going to have a 53-47 majority in the Senate, and yet here’s Trump urging the Senate to go into recess so that he can bypass it altogether.

In other words, he wants to install folks who couldn’t even get through *that* Senate.

It’s going to be a long four years.

@hotspurstudio @DougSaunders A lot of people there are putting together "starter packs" which will certainly include some of those you're looking for.

[Angry Woke Democrat @BlueSteelDC]

Bernie lost Latinos and union workers in both 2016 and 2020

Do you understand this constant blindness to real data is doing to our real understanding of the electorate

In 2018, Sanders style candidates lost the most in a wave year for Ds

@keithellison We need a brawler! No more tip-toeing around hard truths. And no throwing vulnerable constituencies overboard or behaving like white working class politics aren't actually identity politics too.

[Karen R. Ronk @FBIsMostHaunted]

@craigtimes I just installed it, a lot of the good folks are over there.

@mehdirhasan I love you Mehdi but people voted for the guy that said Haitians were eating pets, children were getting sex change operations in school & that he would use the military against Americans who opposed him. The blame is on them & everyone who makes excuses for them.

[Dr. Travis L. Stokes @TRAVNATION80]

The celebrities are not the problem. That’s a huge cop out. I don’t care where anybody tells you they didn’t say that about any of the celebrities that Trump showed up with did they? Did anybody say that Hulk Hogan doesn’t pay their bills? Did anybody say Elon Musk doesn’t pay my bills? Did anybody say Joe Rogan doesn’t pay my bills?

@KevinMKruse I'm checking it out right now!

[Mary Ellen Klas @MaryEllenKlas]

* Americans are economically and culturally more conservative, more sexist and even more racist than the media and Democrats understood. Covid, and our failure to reform immigration and fix our border, exacerbated the economic malaise. /2

[Mary Ellen Klas @MaryEllenKlas]

I was wrong. This election has taught me:
* Americans no longer have shared truths. The information ecosystem has destroyed this. /🧵

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

Being a Democrat right now is not easy when you keep hearing white politicans, strategists and pundits telling us what went wrong. Black voters and 61% of Latinas showed up yet no one seems to care what we think. This argument about “working class” centers white and latino men. I am sick of it.

[Rep. Gerry Connolly @GerryConnolly]

I plead with my fellow Democrats: reflection not recrimination. Finger pointing and blame games are not constructive. We lost an election. We remain competitive. History tells us we can and will rebound.

[Bill Scher @billscher]

Democrats after losing by 2 points: Our brand is in ashes. We need a complete overhaul.

Republicans after losing by 4.5 points: Let's run the same guy again.

[Karen R. Ronk @FBIsMostHaunted]

@NC5PhilWilliams A lot of Trump voters know that there will be many in the media and the Democratic party who will make excuses for them, they don't even need to do it for themselves. A lot of moral rot to go around.

[Emma Vigeland @EmmaVigeland]

Trump is gonna make Vance his Cheney so he can golf and fart around the entire time. His ultimate goal was staying out of jail, now it's time for these PayPal and venture capital freaks to cash in. An autopilot nativist, misogynist presidency, pillaging the administrative state.

[. @GregTSargent]

Yes, this piece by @speechboy71 gets it absolutely right:

"Kamala Harris' campaign didn't ignore the working class"

(uses my reporting on Harris campaign ad spending on economy)

Donald Trump’s winning message was:
- level Gaza
- the 2020 election was rigged
- they’re eating the dogs and cats
- kids go to school for gender reassignment surgery
- deport immigrants

I think it would be cool to talk about why people voted FOR that instead of shaming us.
