The real fight?
This WAS the real fight.
This fight is over.
The best course of action is to realize we need to regroup, reorganize, and engage at the right moment.
Garry Kasparov@Kasparov63
"Deals" & "peace" with Russia & China will be profitable for Trump & his pals, who don’t care about US allies or interests or casting millions into despotism. Ukraine suffers, Europe sleeps. NATO was nearly dead & Trump will finish the job. The real fight starts now. 7/7

@SER1897 @RadioFreeTom The Founders even explicitly recognized that voters in a democracy could and WOULD do this.
English
@RadioFreeTom Yes, the outright rejection of the rule of law is hard to process. Liberal democracies can elected idiots, buffoons, bad actors, but electing a *convicted felon* is mind boggling.
Trump performed better in the state *where he was convicted of a felony* than past Republicans.
English
We did this.
Voters didn't care.
Democracy in America is likely over.
Everyone better wake the fuck up to that right now.
If Democrats don't win the House majority I'm even more inclined to say it's over.

#8: Demonstrate that Democracy Can Deliver a Better Standard of Living A lot of data suggests that as actors make the case for democracy, they must tie it to prosperity & inclusive policies that provide opportunities 4 improving well being in areas currently struggling (12/x)

@johncusack @BernieSanders Trump just kept saying everything is terrible and America is a dumpster fire and voters apparently agreed.
Harris's top line message was, 'We have made a lot of progress, but we have more work to do'
English
@johncusack @BernieSanders Literally not true.
Harris pushed kitchen table issues constantly.
-housing affordability
-student loan forgiveness
-cost of living
-healthcare costs
If you didn't hear any of that it's because you didn't want to.
English
This is it - ⬇️
FDR beats fascism . Harris abandoned progressives and would not follow the @BernieSanders agenda that won Biden the White House - ( Medicare for all erase student medical debt - ext . )
They courted republicans - refused to break with Biden on Gaza .
We were given too much identity politics and celebrities - with Harris giving the same stump speech over and over .
Trump ran as the out and out fascist he is -
Big bold FDR was the way to beat him.

Imagine that, telling the truth to your constituents, working for them and not for big donors, holding on to your convictions in the face of massive political pressure and media hostility, and winning, easily

Well, the Brits elected Boris Johnson, but they have a vastly different system that both limits the power of the PM and in a lot of ways makes it easier to switch PMs
Mike Carlton@MikeCarlton01
America…it’s like watching the Fall of Rome. There is no other democracy, from Norway to New Zealand, which would elect as its leader a rapist, felon, liar, ignoramus, misogynist, vindictive bully and charlatan.
English
We are in the Twilight Zone.
An electorate that has magical thinking is ungovernable.
The predictable response will be:
-Democrats will move further right - not left
-Democrats will not put forward a female candidate for POTUS again in the foreseeable future.

MIssouri voters voting for abortion rights, an increase in the minimum wage, and paid sick leave, and a senator and a president who strongly oppose these things is where we are in a nutshell

Look, I know this is inconvenient for all of your little factional squabbles, but the fact remains that the Harris campaign did a lot of what *both* centrists *and* leftists wanted. It's not above-board to pretend not to know this.
.@GregTSargent
@yeselson @EricLevitz I really hope that those debating this will grapple w/the fact that the Harris campaign, the Dem party, and Dem groups spent $225 million on ads about the economy in just four months, many of them striking populist themes: newrepublic.com/article/187950…

Lots of people are about to radically change their view of how the economy is doing
English
When Trump replaced Alito and Thomas with two inexperienced partisans in their 40s and the makeup of SCOTUS is locked in for a generation don't say you weren't warned.
When the economy tanks and your life is disrupted daily by anti-immigration police don't say you didn't know
English
The courts and the agencies refused to hold any of the leaders behind J6 accountable for 4 years.
They were given a free pass.
Best of luck.
Tristan Snell@TristanSnell
We shall fight in the courts. We shall fight in the agencies. We shall fight in the House and Senate. We shall fight in the '26 midterm elections. We shall fight on the information platforms. We shall fight by marching peacefully in the streets. We shall never surrender.
