This shit is so crazy and so obviously our biggest problem underlying everything and anyone who says otherwise is either greedy or blind

We said what we said

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I remember the ‘80s stagflation mortgage rates at 15%. Car loans at 20%. No one bought &jobs were hard to come by when laid off. Republican Admin haven’t put Americans first since Reagan. All those “fiscal conservatives “ should like at history & the data. Democrats create jobs & better economy

I think she did a lot wrong in her short campaign, but she absolutely did tell people exactly all of this and they absolutely refused to listen.

Right-wing propaganda is on in every waiting room and every social media algorithm takes you to it within literal minutes. That is where the fight is.

I feel like not enough is said about how Harris looked America straight in the eye and said this would all happen, and Trump went "nope" and the voters believed it.

ProPublica @propublica.org · 15h

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.”

In the months after Harris’ loss, much was made over the demographic shifts in the party. Young voters, Hispanic voters and Black voters — all central to the Democratic coalition — had moved substantially to the right. But Priorities’ post-election polling revealed an equally staggering swing: Between 2020 and 2024, people who consumed at least three hours of YouTube a day had moved 10 points toward Trump — a bigger swing than Black voters, Black men, young voters and a slew of other categories that were dominating headlines.

“The driver of behavior in ‘24 was so much more about your media consumption,” Butterfield said.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

I truly do not care if Joe Walsh "became" a Democrat.

He's anti-Trump and that's great, but, what he wants to do is make the Democratic Party into what he wanted the Republican Party to be.

Sorry, man, you failed once, you don't get to do it to the Dems now, too.

Many of these things are unpopular due to *literal decades* of right-wing propaganda and oligarchic control of the media. Surrendering to these numbers will only continue to shift the Overton Window to the Right in this country.
