Creating a big tent is fine, great even. But that tent has to have a pole, a backbone, a set of values it believes in and policies it supports, otherwise it simply caves in and is no kind of shelter, gathering place or party at all.

People like Trump and Musk want us blaming each other instead of billionaires like them.

They want us to blame immigrants and working people just trying to afford food or rent, or obsess about things like gender.
