In their despair at Donald Trump’s victory, liberal pundits are concluding that the masses, especially the working class, are irredeemably terrible. That’s apolitical nonsense.
Tbf I expected way better of Americans than to fall for Trump twice.
The Democratic Party might as well give up if they are still going to try to keep rooting for same old, same old. Blame media both sidesing and sanewashing, blame unlimited money in politics, blame your average voter’s lack of critical thought. If the party leadership doesn’t want change, if media doesn’t want actual change, then it’s hard to expect anything good from them for the time being. Governor Kathy Hochul is a prime example, she keeps kneecapping good policies at the last second like proper right to repair and congestion pricing, thinking like playing political games is going to help anyone. It’s not, it only hurts us.
All blue states and blue cities in purple and red states can do right now is show themselves as shining beacons of democracy and progress as the remainder of states get absolutely screwed by the feds. The Dem party as a whole needs to take a moment and rethink its strategy.
