    I still don’t understand why Kamela didn’t run ads reminding people of how badly Trump fucked up Covid

      they were too busy courting “moderates” by sprinting to the right and capitulating to Republicans’ framing of the issues, a tried and true losing strategy

        And now they’re saying that Democrats were “Too leftist and too woke”, but they did this shit. Gimme a break, it’s a “Heads I win, Tails you lose” designed to make the Dems go further right

          If by too leftist and too woke, they are saying that Democrats need to hit the identity politics a bit less, this is understandable.

          Old school leftists have been saying this for a while. We need to protect at-risk groups, of course. But we cannot abandon the populism and we need to stop ignoring the class warfare (being conducted on the poor and middle class). It really is the economy.

          If anyone is saying they were too leftist, as in the way it used to mean, there is no way the campaign went “too leftist”.
