Democrats do not understand MAGA. They need to consult specialists in mass psychosis like Dr. Bandy Lee, and they need to begin to prioritize messaging. Unfortunately, given our electorate, messaging is even more important than policy. Trump voters voted in someone whose policies–they now understand–puts them in the crosshairs, but all they needed to hear was his messaging. It took the place of everything else.
Biden’s presidency and Harris’ campaign were messaging disasters.
Why won’t the Democrats?
Perhaps as atonement for the role he played in re-electing Trump and thus bringing American to its knees, Tapper confronts Speaker Johnson about his lies.
Again, is there anything that Mike Johnson does that comports with the teachings of Jesus Christ?
are passing legislation to ensure that Elo n Musk never does to them what he’s done to America.
With Trump, it’s always someone else’s fault. Would MAGA parents let their children behave this way?
Instead, Trump has given us an apocalyptic Energy Secretary in the person of Chris Wright.
“The Democrats Can’t Afford to Ignore Climate Change Ever Again,” writes Liza Featherstone in The New Republic, and notes that Harris “backed away from big climate policy that she had supported as a Democratic primary candidate in 2019: the Green New Deal.”
This was the influence of the neoliberals who wrecked her campaign. In every plank, Harris’s campaign was more reactionary than Biden’s. If Rahm Emanuel becomes chair of the Democratic National Committee we can expect the party to continue to retro-message itself into oblivion.
As America implodes, Todd cheers it on because the asshole thinks his ratings may spike.
As was just said on the Meidas Touch , corporate media is “a dying industry based on gamifying politics.”
the span of years between Obama’s election and today roughly parallels the interval between the end of World War I and Hitler’s assumption of power. And, yes, he was voted in.
How is Trump even going to be able to make an inaugural speech? He can barely wrap the words around his implants. Is he going to fellate the microphone? Or start talking about sharks? His dementia has reached the stage where it accelerates by the day. I saw this happen with a relative.
They will do that so long as we’re not heading into an election where there is a possibility he might not get in and might not be able to deep six our country. The Times is, as Jamison Foser has said, a Republican newspaper, for all its Editorial Board’s center-left pronouncements.
For what it’s worth, the Times is now reporting on the mysterious foreign entities who seem to be weighing in on Trump’s nihilist cabinet picks.
Derelict Grandpa also spends a lot of time zoning out to music from his iPad.
What in the world could make Rahm Emanuel believe that he is a viable candidate? Megalomania & Shamelessness.
The Democrats just lost an election because, in part, Democrats failed to show up at the polls, so deep is their disgust with the party’s Emanuel-stamped economic neo-liberalism.
At Common Dreams, comedian, author, and podcaster Kate Willett’s tweet is quoted: “If I had to pick one individual who set the stage for what seems like it may be decades of Trumpism, it’s Rahm Emanuel. Imagine if Obama had saved peoples’ homes in 2008 and put the bankers in jail? Truly fixed healthcare? Rahm worked diligently to make sure that didn’t happen.”
