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.
The campaign to “save democracy” actually destroyed democracy, as both parties enthusiastically turned an election into a billionaire auction.
If we accept this immersive corruption as “normal,” then democracy is never coming back. https://t.co/sPt3NGR1oa
Rogan went from saying stuff like this to endorsing a corrupt billionaire authoritarian conman warmonger who stands against virtually every policy he claimed to believe in
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.
This is a very bad night.
Some of us spent years warning Dems to take working-class politics more seriously & to not tout neocons. We did so in hopes of avoiding this & yet we were vilified as traitors by Dem elites & liberal pundits.
There's a lesson here.
Goodnight.
Of course, the limousine liberals on Morning Joe are concluding Harris lost bc Dems went too "woke" & push "cancel culture." REALITY why she lost:
🚨75% voters said inflation had severe or moderate impact
🚨73% voters said dissatisfied or angry about way things are going

The Senate will soon vote on my resolution to block $20 billion in new arms sales to Israel. U.S.-provided weapons have caused massive death and suffering to innocent people in Gaza.
We cannot continue to turn a blind eye. https://t.co/9KuoOSqCqB
It's easy for many Democrats to call voters—whether they're organizing for Palestinian rights or the Movement for Black lives—as "inconvenient."
But defeating Trump is going to take all of us & the Democratic Party should welcome those voices in our coalition, not cut them out.
Do you remember the very first time you realized just how systemically corrupt American politics had become?
I can. I can pinpoint it to an exact moment.

Bernie used his DNC speech to call for overturning Citizens United.
But do you know where that case came from?
We’re exposing the secret plan behind it. It involves a lobbyist-turned-judge & a backroom deal at the Supreme Court.

Millions of seniors in this country are going hungry today.
4 out of 5 seniors who need a home-delivered or congregate meal do not receive one.
We must increase funding for the Older Americans Act, reduce malnutrition, and meet the urgent needs of our nation's seniors.
We don't need to run away form our ideals to appeal to a "mythical center."
The overwhelming majority of Americans, including in my home state of Pennsylvania, support progressive policies and a progressive agenda. It's time to make clear that is what we're fighting for.
Free Palestine.
Free Congo.
Free Sudan.
Free all oppressed peoples, from all over the world to right here in America.
It is our duty to continue to stand up against injustice.
Private health insurance is a morass of paperwork, claims denials & premium increases - all in service of rationing care & enriching insurance companies that bankroll both parties.
The GOP has now been baited into touting these corporate monsters that everyone rightly hates.
