    Biden/Harris are extremely pro war. Every candidate including and since Obama (gave top 2 spots to HRC and Biden). The worst thing about Biden, beside demonic warmongering on Russia, is how friendly and respectful he is to Republicans and Netanyahu. They just walk all over him in return.

    I realize that the news show doesn’t necessarily reflect the Dem, but you know it does

    Yeah we’re fucked. We are actively watching the rise of fascism in this country with rhetoric like this

      It’s almost like the wealthy have always wanted this route. Now that the cat’s out of the bag, they can take the masks off.

      Good luck everyone, be kind as best you can and arm yourselves.

      They’re getting in line and showing what side they’re on, and they’re doing it fast. Bezos just got the jump on it.

      They’re on the side of letting fascism steamroll the underclass as long as they can get theirs before the house of cards crumbles.

      This seems to me like a signal that Democrats are formally cementing as a conservative / neoliberal party. Which makes sense. I guess maybe the upside is that maybe it will carve out room for an adjacent political body to the left as well, sort of like what happened with the tea party.

        I was just talking with a friend about this. How do you build up a left-wing populist party? Establishment Dems seem like they’d rather lose than bring in progressives. So it’d have to be very grassroots, right? Tea party definitely had some help from the top at the time

          Exactly. If there’s a cool local group, join it. If there isn’t, the beauty is that it can start anywhere, like in your workplace or neighborhood. Start talking to people and hanging out with them regularly. Then start organizing and working around small things that make a difference, like litter pickups. From there you can build a greater political consciousness and work together with other groups and build power outside the political system

      We have been long past that point, it just took this election to make it obvious. This is who America is, and who it has always been. Denying just leads us further down the same hole.

    I saw this in real time and it was even more disgusting than can be conveyed in text. You really need to see and hear these two goblins shouting and wheezing to get an accurate picture of where they want Democrats to go in the future.

    And there it is. Already learning the wrong lesson. I really wish this wasn’t so predictable.

      The lesson that Democrats will take away from 2024 is that they should never run a woman for President.

        Or god forbid, a person of colour. Clearly the US isn’t “ready” for that.

        Because the voters won’t vote for one. Especially not a non-white one, but really they just won’t.

        You could give Harris all the third party votes and she still loses. Why? Because apparently the country is full of misogyny and racism.

    Morning Joe is unprofessional trash and always has been. I literally only watch CNN for the few hours it’s on before switching back to MSNBC. The rest of their scheduling is pretty much the only good cable news left. I feel for people like Rachel Madow, Ari Melber, and Lawrence O’Donnell who are going to have to singlehandedly carry the load of the only progressive voices in news left.
