Kamala Harris’ Loss Isn’t About Any One Strategic Misstep. It’s About Something Much Bigger. — Slate
Make no mistake about who’s to blame.
If they both died I don't think i would shed a tear
This is the stuff I am gonna try to cut out off my life for the foreseeable future. I am gonna attempt to ignore the noise and only worry about stuff when I have to. This guy is likely a piece of shit and would be a terrible AG but I am sure there are several other POS potential AG’s on a list too and until he is working as the AG and doing shitty things that’s when I will worry. I just can’t spend the next 4 years over analyzing these dip shits and their potential/actual terribleness especially when we have so little recourse at this point to actually change things.Here is a strong possibility at attorney general.
Trump Attorney General Hopeful Vows to Drag Bodies Through the Street
Potential Trump A.G. Mike Davis made a horrifyingly violent threat to take revenge.
I am tired of relitigating 2020 and 2016. It’s not a surprise that a Dem Stooge like Shift felt that way and it turns out he was right, Biden beat Sanders and Trump. We will never know how Sanders would have fared against Trump (I think quite well but it’s all conjecture) The Democratic Party is a big tent party and Sanders chose to run for the Democratic nomination.
I don’t remember spending a lot of time talking about the blame game which is what I really remember of the post to be honest. I don’t remember exactly why but I do know that it was a good motivator to just step away from even here for the time being.
That’s possible and really all of that is a moot point now anyhow. Now we have to deal with Orange fuck for four more years. I hope some resolution to both wars happens before that fuckwit has real say in it.
All fair and valid but we have a dedicated sub to ask those questions. People in the Cafe aren’t necessarily there for that discourse. It doesn’t bother me personally but I have been posting up a storm in the politics thread I am gonna assume at least one or two folks in the Cafe are not there for that debate.
not to disparage your enthusiasm at the possibilities, but the reason his ideas haven't been done before is the same reason that a child's "AND THEN I WILL GO TO MOON IN MY SPACE CAR" plan doesn't work: that's not how the real world works. Let's take your last one: the best way to counter big pharma is to cut their legs out from under them, which means legislation to limit financial gain and/or single-payer health care. At the risk of pointing out the obvious, Trump had 4 years to get a healthcare plan in order and did less than nothing. Just recently was asked about it again and he's got the concepts of a plan. If I had a shiny new quarter to bet with, and were I a betting man, I would bet that in another 4 years there will in fact not be any substantive change in healthcare in the US.
I don't think progressivism was going to save this thing from Trump. 2016 was already played by Trump as liberalism=socialism. Look at how AOC was attacked when she was first starting out. Supposedly the "Kamala is for they/them, Trump is for we" ads played really well as did plenty of anti-trans ads this cycle. Any tilt to the left was going to be easily attacked when you have people ingesting right wing bile all day online. I'm sadly of the mindset that perhaps things need to get worse for whole segments of our society so people will wake up and realize just how played we've all been by corporations and oligarchs. Maybe things getting worse will break the cycle but I'm not very hopeful given now that side has absolutely no restrictions placed on them and have been totally vindicated in their actions by the election results.
very unlikely, not only would establishment democrats fight tooth and nail against it but also the republican party would likely fight to keep the status quo.
