That contempt for workers and adoration of corporate donors is why the democrats lost ground in almost every single demographic. The alarming part is they flatly wont admit why they lost. They learned absolutely nothing. The sheer arrogance of the DNC is astounding.

Their arrogance is the arrogance of the average liberal.

They still refuse to accept the fact that neoliberalism sows the seeds of fascism. They'll support fascism sooner than they'll support a highly regulated and tightly contained capitalism.

OMG you guys, we definitely shouldn't vote for her now after this major snafu.

This unironically.

The Neoliberals have shown they are incapable of representing their voters anymore.

We need a progressive party

It may not be the last one. Or even her last one.

Showing more and more why Harris was not liked. Suddenly all the union moves make more sense.

Only reason it comes off negative is because she’s a woman. If this were trump people would say “wow what a great business man”

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago

It comes off as negative because it's consistent with Democrats' withering contempt for people who work for a living.

Cutting a meeting short by 20 minutes, only taking 3/17 questions and telling them to "get onboard"? No, that's presumptive and disrespectful regardless of who does it.

And sheer idiocy on her part.

Most politicians do that especially if you know they won’t endorse you or vote for you and the only ones that get shit on are dems. Another example of dems need to be perfect

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 1 points 38 minutes ago

So you want Dems to be judged on the same standards as the Republicans? Guess we gotta start excusing any Dems that do crimes because we can't have them be the only one to get shit on.

Aged like RAW milk

The down votes on this is interesting …?

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 15 hours ago

Why listen to reality when you can downvote your problems away. It's what they did in 2016 and 2024, why stop now?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
