There’s no cohesive plan here. Video games, The Beatles, instructional tech, college radio, music, protest.

“Rapist”
“Conman”
“Thief”
“Liar”
Instead, it obeys in advance by using legally safe wording.
Luntz is an ass, but I get it.
When I disagreed with the Harris campaign, I was called a racist.
When I said the stock market rising means nothing to me, I was called racist.
I understand why a bunch of white Dems stayed home.
“Absolutely agree with me or you’re a racist” is exhausting.
“This is how the oligarchs, the billionaires, the fascists and people like Trump keep us down.”
“Stop looking around for a person to blame and look up.”
Thank you again to progressive champion Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social for joining our action call with @moveon.org and @workingfamilies.org.
Step one to defeating MAGA - removing elected Dem Senators, especially leadership.They’re part of the problem.

But it seems your plan for the base is to take us for granted. The Democratic Party is making a fatal error.
Thank you. Before any of this gets better, Dems have to lose for 20 years.
Then we can get to work on redistricting, voting rights, dark money, etc etc etc.
Watch everybody play rhetorical defense a day late.

2 years of that and we get the following on CNN, “Next up our panel discuss a new poll; 47% of Americans blame Biden and Harris for the collapse of the economy.”
I sense maybe this is native German speakers getting a slang translation slightly off.
26.01.2025 12:07 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I’m also tired of being called a racist by my supposed allies because I have economic anxiety and am white.
26.01.2025 12:03 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Utterly demoralized by the Dem leadership. It looks like we’ll have to spend decades defeating the Shumer/Durbin wing first.
So I’m just going to look after me and mine for a while.
This right here.
So my economic anxiety is different from yours, therefore I must be a racist.
It’s not a winning message.
Steve Bannon smiles when you wade into the zone of bullshit.

Acosta is an independent, unafraid host. To demote him to appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. Shame on u CNN. Don’t do it.

Mango face has revealed Dems as useless and undeserving of our contributions and votes.
Tell that to the emoluments clause.
22.01.2025 23:43 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0This is such a crucial point. Democrats are eschewing picking fights with Trump in favor of carefully focus-grouped messages. The implicit assumption is that those messages will reach people. They won't, because they're inauthentic and boring.

I will never vote for another Democrat.
