I’m not sure what it will take for Dems to realize the stakes of this issue but here is 15% of Texas Dems saying they would sit out the general election if the Democratic nominee is as supportive of Israel as the Republican
Insane that a former president is tweeting about college sports while the current president is pledging genocide tonight at 8pm.
The inanity of top Dems in a single tweet:
The largest podcast host in the world just attributed an overdose death drop that happened under Biden per the graph he literally read off of to Trump. Pack it up, the post truth world is here.
I'm struck by the criticism that progressivism is to blame for Harris' loss..
As someone who covered the Harris campaign day in and day out for months, she was not running as a progressive, not on immigration, not on climate, etc.
She ran as a centrist, consensus driven Democrat, actively inviting Republicans into the coalition.
It stuck out to me when she started adding "let's be intentional about building community" because that is the clear language of the left but to associate the campaign with some of this other stuff wasn't what I observed.
A company that has $1 billion cash, which is about 1.5 times its annual revenue, and is actually still growing at a decent 20% rate and making a cash profit, laying off 12-13% of its workforce should not expect any loyalty from its employees ever. And to add insult to injury, when it can afford $400 million in a stock buy back.
I can understand the unfortunate reality of layoffs when a business is struggling or declining and making a loss. This is not that situation, this is naked greed, nothing less.
Here is a critical question to its leadership: don't you have the vision and imagination to invest $400 million in another line of business where you can deploy those people you hired but you don't want anymore? Are there no such opportunities in tech? Are you so lacking in curiosity, vision and imagination? Are you so lacking in empathy?
This behavior, sadly, has become all too common in the US corporate world and we are importing it in India. It has only resulted in large scale employee cynicism in the US and we are importing that too.
This is why choose to remain private. We put our customers and employees first. Shareholders should come last.
@maxpcohen AOC is basically the best progressive in the country, and if more progressives acted like her, the movement would grow. She’s made some excellent decisions in the last 6 years
If I had been destroyed in two gubernatorial *primaries*, I'd refrain from commenting on how to win elections.
And if my son were a recently-dropped minor league baseball player with a .125 batting average this year, I'd think twice about opining on who should play sports!
The Dems tried to force an unpopular octogenarian president on the electorate. Having finally replaced him at the last minute, they ran a right leaning campaign that doubled down on the worst instincts of Obamaism and Clintonism. And here we are.
im confused, we're all in agreement that trump spells chaos and disorder - but shouldn't we blame the party that lost handily to him again by running the same "tack to the moderate right" strategy which demonstrably failed? or the pundits who led ppl astray?
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.
What’s misleading this graphic is Trump didn’t add votes. He had 3 million fewer than ‘20. What this doesn’t show you is Harris got 14 million fewer votes than Biden did in ‘20. Because no compelling case beyond “not that guy” was made to show up for her.
🇺🇸 Democrats spent 4 years desperately trying to get "moderate" Republicans to break from Trump.
The result? 94% of Republicans voted Trump - exactly the same as in 2020, while Democrat vote dropped.

“Democrats have to move right”
To the right of campaigning with Liz Cheney and promising Republicans cabinet seats?
No. This is what Democrats running to the right looks like.
The future is centering the working class, being pro-peace, and advocating for Medicare for all.
The Schumer strategy failed in 2016. And then in 2024
“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin."

Abortion rights are beating Kamala in every single state that voted on them.
Progressive policies aren't unelectable - unpopular Democratic politicians are.
It’s like a comedy skit.
Danny Danon (Israel’s rep to the UN) points to children’s pictures saying “they promote hate in those drawings”…
…and the camera pans to pictures of rainbows & doves with the words “peace”, “love”, “teach peace”.
