The degree to which the Democratic Party is failing to meet this moment is staggering. And INFURIATING, when contrasted with the courage on display from ordinary people with far, far less power & protection.

9/🧵 What does this mean for Democratic strategy? All those debates about choosing between identity politics and economic populism? False premise. Young working-class voters with low racial resentment aren't choosing. They're ready for Medicare for All AND Black Lives Matter. Lean into the tide.

And what I saw tonight was a party already exploding.
Minneapolis turns out votes for the statewide. We're a stronghold. And if people aren't excited and ready to knock doors because they can't trust Democrats? We're fucked.
We need to real talk and we got corporate jargon.

We asked Richard to show up and listen and what we got was a corporate presentation about branding followed by evasive answers that absolutely did not meet the moment.
When I met Richard for the first time two months ago, I told him this party was a ticking bomb and it's already starting to blow.
