[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

A lot of people want to bring Obama-era insiders back for party building purposes.

While those folks ran successful presidential campaigns, they also oversaw some of the largest downballot losses in modern times.

Party building is different. Look to people w/ recent successes.

@secretsandlaws the campaign didn’t try? Really?

[. @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)

Sherrod Brown was an old school labor rights Democrat and he lost decisively to a car dealership owner who had to settle several wage theft lawsuits before running for office. This election was not about working class discontent.

I hate to put a lot of highly paid pundits out of business, but look at this f**king graph

Here @nytimes we fixed this for you

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

This is straight up BS… Biden was the most-pro worker President of my life time- saved Union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket line and some of MVP’s plans would have fundamentally transformed the quality of life and closed the racial wealth gap for working people across this country. From the child tax credits, to 25k for a down payment for a house to Medicare covering the cost of senior health care in their homes. There are a lot of post election takes and this one ain’t a good one.

@TeamsterSOB @Teamsters @HawleyMO He and the GOP will not support you - good luck!

What.the.fuck

[Claire Malon @ClaireMalon]

Only 63.3% of Chicago registered voters cast ballots in Tuesday's presidential election — the second lowest turnout rate in at least 80 years.

The lowest? 1996. Coincidentally, both years when the city played host to the DNC.

The Biden admin funneled hundreds of billions to "left behind" areas of the US.
The mainstream press spent 8 years covering and sympathizing with working class Trump voters, and telling everyone to do the same.
It wasn't lack of effort to understand, nor lack of material 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

[David Shuster @DavidShuster]

Big picture: Given the counties reporting so far in WI, MI, PA, and AZ...and the counties (mostly urban areas/suburbs) lagging/still to report, Harris is in good shape to win those four swing states and finish with 281 EV. Losing GA + NC would be irrelevant. #election2024
