The Democrats abandoned their platform for a Republican-lite approach to appease moderates and left their campaign hallow. We need an opposition campaign that starts today, based on bringing the U.S. into the 21st century, rewiring the economic pipelines to fuel the prosperity of Americans and a cooperative state on a global level.
It's awesome you did that. And thank you for reading. Some folks who made calls for Biden in 2020 said it much less soulless and corporate-feeling than Harris 2024. So it does seem to be getting worse. All the more reason I just don't trust the Dem Party to steer us through Trump 2.0. We need a new playbook: my current project. Any ideas?
I wish I did. Unfortunately the "Democrat" party is really just thousands of elected officials that call themselves Democrats. There ls no leadership. The leader is the POTUS of the moment and then it becomes a free for all like today... Grassroots would be great but the problem with the party (leaders) is they became rich (extremely) so they really can't fight the oligarchy because they are part of it. How on earth can Obama lead from an estate on Martha's Vineyard? 🤔
😂 Not with any respect from me! Exactly my feelings. With leadership comes a tragic distance from the people and issues who need political help the most, and an obscuring of how much dismantling governance-by-the-rich would help. I've been reading all day and can't find anyone making the right noises. I now feel like I have a manifesto brewing inside me. There's gotta be someone "near power" who gets it and is energized by the inauguration that's about to happen?
It’s March now and I’m probably ruining my eyesight from so much doomscrolling. To be fair, it is pretty bad. I may never know another peaceful and happy morning. I’m still a registered Democrat but have thought about switching to independent. The more I read about why we lost the more I see how damaging and insidious the whole identity politics focus came to be. So much more to unpack but not here. I now keep seeing rumblings that Musk/Starlink fiddled with swing state election results. I do not/do not want to believe this.

YES! Standing. Applauding.
Well written and thought out. Thank you so much for sharing insights from the trenches!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for the insight.
I went to Cleveland in 2004, made phone calls, and had the exact same experience. Nothing has changed in 20 years (perhaps it is worse).
