They really ought to switch to taxing the tires instead of fuel.
It's just a common rhetorical tool used by fascists. If people don't know when you are telling the truth and when you are "joking" you can say whatever you want and then judge public reaction before deciding whether or not to own what you said.
So, it's not what Democrats do in office that matters. It's not how they dodge and weave every question in every interview until nobody even remembers what was asked. Democrats lose because people are mean to them? Is nobody ever mean to Republicans then?
It's too bad she didn't offer any soundbites of truth. Her entire campaign was built around being inoffensive to everyone which meant saying nothing that might evoke meaning. Lies thrive in that environment.
Your right. The anti-establishment mood in this country and abroad has been building for decades. Americans have never voted based on foreign policy unless that foreign policy is directly impacting them.
Truth. We definitely need to nominate better voters next cycle.
Oddly enough, Biden, Harris, and especially Walz are among the least rich politicians in DC. They are still way better off than middle class Americans though.
It's wealthy suburban NIMBY Dems, not "white".
The military leadership is deeply neoliberal. They are definitely not leftist, but aren't fans of Trump and MAGA either. However, expect Trump to start replacing them as soon as he takes office.
That amount isn't much more than our shitty local emergency rooms charge for walking in the door.
Third parties are not a new concept. Just like the two parties, they have a track record we can look at. This has never happened. Bernie Sanders has pushed the Democrats further left than anyone since FDR, and he only started to make substantive gains when he ran as a Democrat.
If you want to claim that third parties can achieve anything at all, it's on you to explain what changed. The track record is abysmal.

Absolutely, I just don't think it actually helps Democrats in the long run to pave over their often deep flaws. If we were harder on Democrats 30 years ago, we probably wouldn't have Trump today.
