#New Dearborn results 🔴 President - Trump +7 🔵 Congress - Tlaib +32

Dems have spent the past 8 years destroying the one movement that could have saved them. Bernie's class first populism won over exactly the type of voters (Latinos, working class, bros, Joe Rogan!) that Dems now repel. dropsitenews.com/p/bernie-would…

the leftist position is that people’s positions, even if horrific, have roots in their material reality. the liberal position as best i can tell is that 20-30% of the country has an irredeemably evil soul. i guess im going with the one you could actually do something about.

the democrats picking joe biden over bernie sanders in 2020 when a map of donations looked like this is what guaranteed a trump win in 2024

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

“Democrats have to move right” To the right of campaigning with Liz Cheney and promising Republicans cabinet seats? No. This is what Democrats running to the right looks like. The future is centering the working class, being pro-peace, and advocating for Medicare for all.

the country didn’t “move far right”, trump got less votes than he did in 2020. democrats just completely fumbled their coalition and alienated entire bases of voters

To recap. Democrats lost: -White House -US Senate -Electoral College -Governors Races -Popular Vote -Are on cusp of losing the House If anyone really thinks its because 51% of the country is xenophobic—& not because Dems ignored their own base—it explains why Dems lost so badly.

i think they should have kept sending bill clinton to arab communities to tell them their relatives deserve to die

All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and funding a genocide, and belittling and crushing those who have enough morality to protest it.  It is enraging that the Democrats are so smug and blind to this. But these are all just symptoms.  The deeper reality is that liberalism has failed, liberalism is dead, and people urgently need to wake up to this fact and respond accordingly. It is a defunct ideology that cannot offer any meaningful solutions to our social and ecological crises and it must be abandoned. Democrats have proven over and over again that they cannot accept even *basic* steps like public healthcare, affordable housing, and a public job guarantee - things that would dramatically improve the material, social and political conditions of the working classes. And they cannot accept a public finance strategy that would steer production away from fossil fuels and toward green transition to give us a shot at a liveable future. Why? Because these things run against the objectives of capital accumulation. And for liberals capital is sacrosanct. They will do whatever it takes to ensure elite accumulation, it is their only consistent commitment.  At home, they suppress and demonize progressive and socialist tendencies. Abroad, they engage in endless wars and violence to suppress input prices in the global South and prevent any possibility of sovereign economic development. The Democrats have done all this purposefully and knowingly, for my whole life, not as some kind of "mistake" but in full consciousness that it is in the interests of capital. And because liberalism cannot address our crises, and because it crushes socialist alternatives, it inevitably paves the way for right-wing populism.  They know this pattern, and yet they risk it every time - this election being only the most recent example. They did it in 2016, when they actively crushed the Sanders campaign and sent Trump to the White House. They do it because ultimately they (and I mean the liberal ruling class here) don't really mind if fascists take power, so long as the latter too ensure the conditions for capital accumulation. They 100% prefer this to the possibility of a socialist alternative. So, progressives have to face reality. The dream of "converting" the Democratic party is dead. This is now a fact and it must be accepted. The only option is to build a mass-based movement that can reclaim the working classes and mobilize a political vehicle that can integrate disparate progressive struggles into a unified and formidable political force and achieve substantive transformation. This will take real work, actual organizing, but it must be done and that process must begin now.

Weird. Seems like the groups most rapidly fleeing the Democratic coalition are the exact ones where Bernie Sanders was strongest (working class, Latinos, Bros!). Maybe that guy was onto something!

LEBRON JAMES WINS FIBA OLYMPIC MVP 🗣️🏆

its so cool that we get absolutely no say in whether theyre allowed to do this

Netanyahu is a war criminal. We must do everything in our power to end the war in Gaza, and provide immediate humanitarian relief to the people who are suffering there.

Leading the way for Team USA. 🇺🇸 Two-time Olympic gold medalist @KingJames has been selected as our men's flag bearer for the #ParisOlympics Opening Ceremony.

This will be the first Presidential election since 1976 to not have a Biden, Bush, or Clinton on the ticket.

“The play-in tournament has helped LeBron and the Lakers” 2021: 7th seed 2023: 7th seed 2024: 8th seed The Lakers would’ve advanced to the playoffs automatically if the play-in didn’t exist. Instead they have to play and win an extra game…

idk how to explain it but I swear its the same 8 teams in the play-in every single year
