Bernie Sanders saying that Dems abandoned the working class is just full of kaka. In 2yrs w/narrow house and even narrower Senate the Biden adm got significant legislation passed. Stimulus/unemployment aid package, child tax credits, EXPANDING OBAMACARE, ACP(AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PLAN) a major infrastructure deal, chips act etc. Leave it this phony to spew idiocy.

We don't know who needs to read or hear this today, but:

  • It's not your fault.
  • You are not responsible for the actions of others.
  • You did the most you could to help, and you couldn't have done more.
  • As much as you want to, you cannot help or save everyone.
  • It's not selfish or wrong to prioritise self-care, especially when you're low on or out of spoons: you cannot pour from an empty cup.

Autopsy's on the Dems losing the WH never seen to take into consideration that at the end of the day the WHITE MAJORITY voted their skin color. Inflation was largely tamed & certainly wasn't a reason to vote for such a despicable person as DONALD JOHN TRUMP.

From the start, Harris promised anti-price gouging legislation, help for young families and help buying homes. Later she rolled out a program to provide longterm care for the aged - a major cost issue.

Just because it was drowned out by rightwing antics and a compliant media does NOT mean Harris didn't do it.

This piece is now 2 years old and still accurate. Mayor Pete (or any other Democrat) doesn’t help anything when he appears on Fox. It doesn’t pierce the bubble it doesn’t give Fox viewers the truth. It reinforces the validity of Fox in the eyes of their viewers and furthers Foxs holy war against liberalism and Democrats. https://www.oliverexplains.com/p/democrats-should-stop-appearing-on

For decades now the right has been fond of periodically picking out some recherché academic theory as their new big boogeyman. Since the target audience is predisposed to think academia is vaguely sinister, they can typically just make up the content of said boogeyman without much fear anyone will actually check & notice they’ve been conned.
