And it is also basically the time bernie was born for. The anti billionaire message will never be more salient (I hope)

wanderlib.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yep.

People want a partisan.
(This is also why AOC is a better herald than Bernie)

I think it’s important to note that some Dems *correctly* think this isn’t possible for them—because no one wants to hear anything they have to say. The reason Chuck Schumer can’t do this is because everyone hates him and his stupid face and stupid ideas. That’s the problem—not differing strategy.

And I think you run a fine line with people like Fetterman, but where Fetterman goes wrong is that he's often negatively polarized into finding new enemies

Fetterman is an abrasive reactionary clown who has churned staff and credibility since his medical incident. Posing awestruck with Netanyahu, who 53% of all Americans have “little or no confidence in” is not it.

I found it to be a massive red flag when he attacked Oz for having dual citizenship and serving mandatory military service in Turkey.

It did not sit well at all when he's completely fine with dual citizens of Israel doing the same.

Genuinely an open reactionary bigot.

Also fuck Pennsylvania.

I mean we kind of need it, though I understand the sentiment

alas, Harris and Walz's tour through Wawa's did not suffice it seems

Watching AOC speak is so confusing because on the one hand I feel incredibly energized and hopeful and ready to fight for the future, and on the other hand, it's absurd that the only thing Dems need to do to activate that in me is even act like they give a shit about anything. Most refuse.

Because they're chicken.

The pols like Newsom thinking it’s the time to tack to the center and do bipartisanship couldn’t be misreading the moment more badly. The base is fired up as hell because we understand what’s at stake

As far as I can tell dems are doing a sequel of the radical republicans

Free Labour and rights and so forth, but **ANGRY**

croatsky.bsky.social•35 days ago

He's not going for the centre or bipartisanship, he's going for embracing right wing positions and folding to both Trump and MAGA.

He’s also trying to be “hip” and down with the kids by talking to the same influencers his fascist son loves.

It’s a fucking Arrested Development episode.
