The Dems ran on none of these things. In fact, their entire strategy quite actively repudiated them. There is apparently nothing that will make elite liberals think twice about their own failures, even when their preferred methods have been tested and come up short. https://t.co/pOCrMGb4Hr

As we saw in Democratic primary exit polls: People absolutely do not like their private health insurance, as corporate front groups and lazy pundits always say https://t.co/cSWoI2sKps

A surprising number of people celebrated Biden’s victory,
with champagne toasts and revelry. This includes friends and family members who I KNOW hold strongly progressive and socialist tenets dear. In spite of the clear indicators that the Democratic Party serves corporate and DoD interests over the needs of the people, just like their Republican counterparts, every single one of these “lefties” are clinging to the baseless hope that Biden/Harris will be “far better than Trump” and that “everything will be better with Trump gone.”
It has never been clearer that both Republicans and Democrats intend to continue to deliver for the corporatists and oligarchs and ignore the urgent needs of the people. Yet apparently for many it is more important to hold on to their baseless hopes than it is to recognize the true terror of our situation.
Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all."

A better Trump next time.
Trump's win in 2016 will encourage future Trump clones. Trump's loss in 2020 will discourage future Trump clones who are as insane as Trump.
it isn't about elections
It is about the donor class. The Clinton turd way continues to snowball.
Seems like I heard some rumbling about removing Pelosi as speaker. That would be a good first move...followed by ditching wall street up-chuckie.

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Sen. Schemer has a lot to answer for.
His hand picked conservative senate candidates LOST. They LOST. He be allowed no further influence on candidate selection outside NY, and his influence has been bad there as well.
