It is hard to counter this combo of cynicism and lying without bonafide candidates who can throw a punch.
If we want to beat a right wing that weaponizes (justified!) public anger at Big Pharma to destroy the social safety net + spread conspiracies, we can’t run Dems who take money from Big Pharma.

If you have to blame a small minority of the population for the election results may I suggest Dem consultants?

The other exploding area of dark money in politics is the crypto lobby.
They have dumped insane sums in elections in both parties (Dem primaries + GOP general elections).
It’s pretty bad

It's called cryptocurrency, but new FDIC data shows that most Americans don't use it as currency—they mainly hold on to it for price gains, not for transfers or purchases.

This obsession is unhealthy. Our horizons are fine. Also social media, for most, is not a job. It is not school. It is socializing. And it’s fine to say “I don’t want to hang out with Nazis, homophobes, transphobes etc in my free time.”
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

Good news: Ben Wikler is seriously considering a run for DNC chair, a source familiar with his thinking tells me.
(confirming Natasha Korecki tweet)
Ben would be a great DNC chair: Fully committed to deep organizing and avoids the pitfalls of factional squabbles and finger-pointing.

Dems need to stand on their values, yes.But Dems need to fight because they have developed a reputation - & not only among angry lefties/disgruntled progressives but in general *that they don’t fight for anything* and are therefore inauthentic&unlikely to deliver.This is not the reputation to have!
Dems already did this on immigration and got painted as open border communist globalists anyway. This simply does not work. Dems need to have a back bone and actually argue from their differences with conservatives rather than bending over and adopting conservative lite positions because of polls.
growing chorus of “throw trans people to the wolves” from high profile libs is not shocking but it is certainly nerve-wracking lol

Conspiracy theories are not exclusive to a political ideology. Everyone, regardless of background, can be influenced by them.
Those who associate conspiratorial belief with a specific political ideology or party are either very partisan or not well-informed about the history of conspiracy theories.

The thing about the chronological timeline is that if you have something you want to share, you have to share it a lot. And if you see something you think others should see, you have to hit repost (likes are not public).
