My take on who should be thrown under the bus:
1. Ideally, everyone to some extent
2. Failing that, anyone will do
The important thing is just to be more moderate.

Which specific programs are you advocating we abandon on the basis that they are “too woke.” You guys love to talk about this shit in generalities because you lack the courage to say with your chest what specific human beings you want under the bus.

The point of the metaphor is that no one with any functioning sense of empathy wants to throw anyone under a bus. Cruelty is not good policy.
1) be tougher on illegal immigration
2) support cheaper housing: build more, less restrictions, better financial support
3) be tougher on crime: better pay, better training, better benefits for effective police officers.
Holy shit man, Harris listening to people like you is how we got President Musk in the first place.
MAGAs beat them to death with it. DESERVEDLY
Trump won promising to 'fix it'.
For Dems,
Taxing billionaires & big corps wins big.
Getting bogged down in identity politics loses big.

2. Be more moderate
Got it.
Very much FU
Democracy isn’t about who you throw under a bus.
Also as demonstrated by Republicans the important thing is to appear more moderate. Being more moderate matters surprisingly little. @whstancil.bsky.social is 100% right about vibes.
Dems let R's rig the tax system, didn't reverse it strongly enough, don't want to scare off the millionaire donors.
This is why we lost!!
We don't need "moderation".
We need to back off on race/sex inequality and fix the BIG inequality.
Focusing on race/gender instead of inequality, billionaires and big corporations not paying their fair share lost big.

That's why they lose.
We have two parties for billionaires.
Dems want to starve us slower, more gently.

You're just a cowardly fascist.
People with disabilities disproportionately live in poverty and find it harder to get to work. Should they be thrown under the bus?
Confirmed.
Isn't throwing people under the bus, like, famously bad?
