Nov 06, 2024“While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change,” said the Vermont Independent. “And they’re right.”
Sigh, this guy is my fucking hero, honestly. Can’t believe Bernie still fights so hard for you guys after you did him so dirty.
Remember, his candidacy was stolen from him by the DNC. If anyone has the right to rail at the DNC it is Bernie.
Where would the working class be right now if he’d been the 2016 guy?
A reminder that the Harris campaign raised a mind-boggling amount of money this election cycle. They significantly outraised the Trump campaign (and lets face it, Trump was likely skimming off the top of whatever his campaign did raise.) What good did it do? Where did it all go?
Turns out, votes win elections not donations
Right, but with that much money they could have paid for Ubers for all of their missing voters in PA/MI/WI to get to the polls, and possibly nationwide. I thought they said they had a superior GOTV operation. Where did the vote go?
It also turns out, courting your opponents base isn’t as helpful as rallying your own.
No,I reject that argument. It’s not a zero sum game. There is no reason why the Democrats couldn’t be the party for everyone.
Where does it go? The balance sheet should be public.
Yes, but will democrats learn the lesson?
They pulled in a lot of money, even if they lost. I wonder what kind of lesson that will be. Perhaps it’s not all about money? Perhaps a platform that appeals to voters matters more? Nah… They got money. Corporate Democrats won’t change.
Democratic consultants will always advocate for whatever gets them paid the most… and they get paid whether they win or lose.
We know. The DNC doesn’t care. Remember, RNC and DNC are money managers.
SLAAAAAAAMS
