I think you're misunderstanding why the Dems lost. "The left" that you're referring to doesn't exist in the way you're imagining it. Kamala didn't win enough swing voters. Swing voters don't view themselves as leftist or rightist. Swing voters (apparently) vote based on their feelings.

If the voters felt that the Dems delivered, they would have been there to elect Kamala. Dems rarely ever deliver for their base—the everyday working person. OTOH, Republicans will go scorched Earth to enact their agenda.

People desperately want change and unfortunately the pace of change from the Dems is not good enough.

Running as Republican-lite and courting the neocons will just serve to validate right-wing ideologies and strengthen the vote for the real Republican candidate. Harris needed to lean into the Walz platform, but her consultants clearly failed (sabotaged?) her. Add to this the fact that Americans grown to hate standard politicians—at least for president—and it's clear this was Trump's election to lose.

Organize with Sunrise Movement or other similar groups. The US government is a oligarchy, our representatives don't represent it. The only way we will get any kind of change is through organizing and forcing them to listen to us.

Not sure how doctors can willingly comply with this shit. Seems antithetical to the Hippocratic oath.

What is wrong with America?

Zero emissions needs to be the future, but getting more people out of cars and onto bikes is a good step. Moving thousands of pounds of metal for the sake of a couple hundred-pound meat sacks is just illogical.

How do I create a community on Sync? Can't find a button for that.

Exactly, it's not about gender at all. It's about populist policies that will prioritize our own people. When you make a point of courting the neocons, who gave us over a decade of war and an even shittier economy, you're not going to win over the independents who see both parties as more of the same. In fact, you're proving them right.

CNN spoke with more than a dozen members of Congress, operatives and multiple people in touch with both Obama and Pelosi, many of whom say that the end for Biden’s candidacy feels clear and at this point it’s just a matter of how it plays out, even after Thursday night’s news conference.

 

Eighty percent of voters say President Joe Biden is too old to run as former president Donald Trump now leads Biden by six points following last week’s debate, a new poll finds.

 

Cenk throws in the towel for Biden.
