@thejackhopkins If Dems fight back, you have two sides fighting. Fighting potentially disrupts institutions, which the donor class needs to be stable and dependable. Therefore any D effort, of any kind, must be approached with this preamble in mind.
This is precisely how there's only one party.
@RyanShead @RepKatiePorter She was methodically forced out. CEOs complained to Nancy, she forced her off House Financial, she tried to escape to the Senate, Schiff (fresh off his fake goodwill as lead impeachment prosecutor) announced his challenge 24 hrs later. Bye Katie :(
This is why we need populism.
@RepKatiePorter So sorry to see you go, but I'm grateful you stuck to your principles even when it meant defying the Democratic establishment elite. Which we both know is the reason you're gone, even if many others don't follow the trail. Hope you're back someday.
@doc_gero@kenklippenstein His campaign was no more populist than Trump's. Savvy voters understood the assignment. The same ones watching now and knowing Democratic elites won't do a damn thing different after Harris' loss.
@BLACKTIVIST5 @kenklippenstein And we have neither the balls nor discipline to say fuck it all and just take it from them like the tea party proved could be done to establishment elites. So we deserve this.
@DaveWarnedYou Like I've been saying for years. Magat > Trump > Russia > communism. Common ownershipย that allocates products to everyone in society based on need. That common ownership will be the elites like Trump, Musk and other billionaires and they'll determine everyone's need to be 0%.
@IAmSophiaNelson I love all the magat replies saying he's FOR Americans. Like "American" isn't code for Republicans only. If not also white men only. Good times.
@abledoc@allenanalysis Well, if you decide to specifically work for a vulture capitalist, what do you expect Elmo to do but fire your ass for any made up reason. Supporting those who would hurt you have consequences.
@JordanChariton It's not the pols but VOTERS who must ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ them. Not "change" them. Why would incumbents doublecross their benefactors? All sales are final. And guess what? No one demanded they overturn Citizens United in the Biden trifecta (e.g.). Because we suck. We're undisciplined.
