This is no honeymoon, the American “left” will never recover from the Harris/Walz combo; every major base of support (demographic/economic) is covered; Black woman with a jovial heartlandish white man standing behind her is the universal password for the legendary “competent American fascism” software update leftists have been prophesying.
They got this shit locked for at least eight years, Walz is suburbanite catnip and Harris has the identity libs eating out her hands, along with big tech, wallstreet, and the zionist lobby who are now methodically eliminating the last holdouts of the post-2016 nascent left movement
There is no credible avenue of leverage here, the libs can effectively respond to any leftist utterance with accusations of racism, misogyny, and purity testing and it will stick. Already we have most liberals being one rhetorical step away from defending Walz unleashing the National Guard on BLM protesters
There is no point in engaging with domestic national politics at this current time, the ball is firmly overseas
The only series of events that can undermine this new DNC paradigm is Israel blowing up the world and the US mobilizing to save it. Not even the collapse of Ukraine can dent it now, since that was “Biden’s project”
Hate to say it, but the DNC won a firm generational victory
Much has been made of the “vibe shift” without any change in platform. The DNC and acquiescent Liberal media is going to retcon 2020-2024 into Trumps Second term, with the kind of “hopey changey stuff” (like Obama and Clinton ‘92) tacked onto Harris Walz.
If it makes you feel better, the American left never recovered from the rug being pulled out from them by the death of FDR and the loss of Henry Wallace in the VP spot.
You think this destroys all the labor momentum?
What labor momentum? Union rates are set to fall to single digits this year for the first time ever
The rate was 10.8% in 2020 and this year it’s set to fall to 9.9 or 9.8%
Source? I thought the last few years had been the highest for labor action in decades. Maybe all the gig jobs are just doing too much damage.
Serious question who is Tim Walz and why he’s all over my feed in grad.
