Curious what you think Democrats should have done in the face of the rise of Maga, fueled by Fox News, Russian disinformation, etc.
(This is an honest question.)

If we want a movement, people have to be moved. Even if we had to lose an election it would have been better to have done so with our moral compass intact.
White supremacy is baked in the cake here. And it's cannabalistic. Until we collectively fight it....
10 regrettable Trumpers were interviewed but none would have voted for the black women.
Disagree on Bernie. Biden won primaries fairly. Biden would not have gotten Southern votes as Biden did.
Agree on Biden. He got greedy. So did RBG. We now have had two elder House Dems die at the worse possible time.
Did you think AIPAC or the ADL lean left? How is Israel doing by their own scale?
Americans heard WAY more about the Biden administration from Trump than from Biden.
Oh and bringing to bear the awesome force of our national security establishment upon the greatest threat to our national security in history.
Trump will either die or descend into complete dementia, cementing his legacy as someone who never faced a consequence in his greedy life. Soon I hope.
Force progress to happen and tread on all who stand in your way.
Hilarious but sad at the same time.
People love to ignore how bad it's always been but short of getting metal health to more people there isn't much you can do
I don't recognize either side. It's a complete shit show!

Get rid of them all.
Garland wasted precious time and the admin as a whole worried more about optics than holding up the law.

It’s an ancient evil.
No one's mentioned Citizens United, which basically legalized bribery by corporations. How many Dems were happy to feed at that trough? Schumer's net worth is an estimated $81 million.
In a lot of states there are no Dem candidates for most districts. Hope that changes now.
Ultimately it will be the Magas who bring Trump/Musk down, not the Dems.
The Clinton impeachment was specious, but what Trump did in Ukraine and on J6 was obvious malfeasance.
A populist left is gonna have to be just that, actually left, imo.
I'm still just shocked 89m people did bother voting. Your idea very possibly would have mobilized many of them.

corporate entities the GOP is. Maybe stop running Nixon Republicans as Dems. Maybe run middle and working class folks for 90 % of seats not the 1%ers . Maybe be more concerned with main street then wallstreet. Maybe stop getting even richer well in office.
It's hard for Mr. Smith to go to Washington under these new realities.
for the majority of Americans instead of the top 20%. Maybe pass M4A. Maybe tax the rich. Maybe don’t use vulnerable minority groups as a smoke screen for their terrible economic policies. Maybe actually work to stop the robber barons.
No, reduce it down to a single post. Provide a link to something long form.
Force MAGA to answer the root questions.
But we've let the fascists win so that we don't even exercise our 1A right to peacefully request redress the grievances.
We are scared, we are comfortable, we feel we've too much personally to lose to put anything out there collectively.
I teach at a university. My students barely paid attention to what was happening. Couldn't get interested.
I am restraining myself from telling my graduating seniors, "Do you know how fucked you are now?"
Guess not.
And why the F doesn't Pelosi retire and let the next generation come in? Hers is a solid blue district.
