Amid Democratic mourning over the loss of the presidential election to Donald Trump, the party chair risked deepening already growing divisions by rebuking the leftwing Vermont senator Bernie Sanders for saying Democrats have “abandoned working class people”.
“This is straight up BS,” Jaime Harrison, the Democratic National Committee chair, said on Thursday. “[Joe] Biden was the most pro-worker president of my lifetime – saved union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket line.”
Harrison also defended Kamala Harris, the vice-president who lost the election to Trump, for proposing policies that “would have fundamentally transformed the quality of life and closed the racial wealth gap for working people across this country”.
He said: “From the child tax credits, to [$]25k for a down payment for a house to Medicare covering the cost of senior healthcare in their homes. There are a lot of post-election takes and this one ain’t a good one.”
What’s crazy to me is how many libs will forget this feeling of betrayal and the steps the DNC took to get here. Just like '16, '20 and '24 there will be goldfish-eyed believers bloopin at leftists to vote for their new neoliberal x% Hitler in 4 years.
I wonder what republican fucker they’ll have to fear monger against by then.
I honestly don’t think Trump would try to change the laws in order to run for a third term. I feel like he mostly ran again out of spite and ego, but won’t want to deal with the burden of the presidency a third time.
I’m of the opinion he won’t make it to a third term even if he wanted to. His orange is turning greyer every time they roll him out, like he’s been zombifying before my eyes. And his diet probably isn’t doing him any favors.
His diet may be the only thing “preserving” him
Lol true.
They refuse to learn.
They will. It’s a failure of imagination. I’m convinced its this.
