Ah yes, the old "democrats can't win unless they're republicans too" strategy that I wish would become immediate cause for shun and ridicule. The people who want to vote for a Republican are going to vote for the Republican, even if the Democrat has the exact same policies. Stop trying to court republicans as a democrat, and start worrying about mobilizing enough of your base and energizing moderates with some real policies that will actually make things better.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Perhaps they're not trying to get the Democrats to court Republicans. Perhaps they are corporate mouth pieces trying to get better corporate conditions from a potential Harris government.
I mean, yeah, that's part and parcel to that messaging.
Isn't WaPo the Amazon paper?
It's owned by Bezos, yes.
So just another billionaire using their stranglehold on media to try and subvert democracy.
Yes, worse than most in fact. In 2016 and 2020 the entire purpose of the Washington Post was to discredit the Bernie Sanders campaign. They were running multiple hit pieces per day every day. WaPo is the definition of controlled opposition and should not be taken seriously other than as an example of part of the US propaganda apparatus serving its function.
I still remember when they ran 16 negative stories about him in 16 hours; I think that was a record for them.
Corporate media be like that; can't trust them.
“The people don’t actually know what they want, the Washington Post does”
Ok hand
And she should ignore them and run how she sees fit.
Aha, there's one of the Bezollionaires AOC was warning about.
