Just an FYI
Who wins in the Democratic Party is not a matter of chance. It’s a deliberate process.
Why the Bernie faction lost – a never ending thread
Really, we have to do this sht again.!!!!!!!
The first thing to understand is the DNC – is a MEMBERSHIP organization – where the members are both the value proposition and the mechanism at the same time

I don't know how many times I have asked – how come you just don't use or start another party.
And the Leftist always says- you can't win anyone other way beside the D party
But our wins are not an accident.

Leftism the prime direction is to expand the social safety to create the most out of life that is tax payer funded.
I believe in the social safety net- but this level of expansion isn't where the party is.

You interpret that desire to be able to compete in society on a fair and equal playing field as a desire for a check from the government that door will slam on you so fast.
So you were rejected. You didn't listen to who the membership is and what they wanted. You failed.

President Obama looked at the entire 2015/2016 landscape and knew most of the establishment supported then Senator Clinton.
He worked to change hearts and minds.
Because that is the only process that makes sense.
He won narrowly— Democrat, Environmentalist, & the establishment (@BlueSteelDC) June 2, 2023
Sanders lost by a predictable amount. He lost by a lot.
State Date ▴Clinton Sanders
RCP Total-Clinton – 15,805,136
Sanders 12,029,699
Clinton +3,775,437
It wasn't even close. But in 2023 we are still talking about Bernie being cheated.

Excellent thread! If your keyword is “purity” not “pragmatism,” you’re doomed to fail. If you value burning it all down over cooperation and compromise, you never were in it to win but just to make noise. If you think acting as a spoiler is virtuous, well, you’re just rotten.
Why have I been 😂😂😂😂 for ten minutes straight watching this?

So what are Marjorie Taylor Greene and Republicans doing in response?
Moving to impeach DHS sec Mayorkas. 1/

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Republicans were salivating at the prospect of a post-Title 42 migrant surge. Now that it hasn’t happened, they’re simply pretending it has. Indeed, a GOP hearing set for this week suggests they’re likely to impeach Mayorkas. 2/

Licht is also a case study in white male privilege, as evidenced by The Atlantic profile. Think how impoverished the perspectives in our news are because white men like Licht, Zaslav, and Malone are systematically privileged over others in the news industry.
