Stop him here, what is to like, stop relying on elections. I'm sorry. The reason that we're fucking in this point is because we're like, well, you know what, well, well, when I get it at the ballot box, yeah, well, yeah, he incited an erect insurrection in erection direction.

Stop him here, what is to like, stop relying on elections. I'm sorry. The reason that we're fucking in this point is because we're like, well, you know what, well, well, when I get it at the ballot box, yeah, well, yeah, he incited an erect insurrection in erection direction.

He incited as you know, I mean, obviously Chuck Schumer is aroused, but he incited insurrection.

He incited as you know, I mean, obviously Chuck Schumer is aroused, but he incited insurrection.

That's illegal. He shouldn't be able to run for office under our constitution. Brazil just did it with Bolsonario. But you not like to leave it to the ballot, ballot.

That's illegal. He shouldn't be able to run for office under our constitution. Brazil just did it with Bolsonario. But you not like to leave it to the ballot, ballot.

Leave it to the voters. It's so yeah, it's it's it's not useful, it doesn't help anyone. It it also like can it I don't know, like you know a way it allows people to just sort of be like, don't just don't worry about it right now. It's like no, no, no, we need to be engaged right now. Like this isn't that, This isn't a thing you can put off and doesn't mean you have to go full blown panicking in the street. But to act as if there's going to be a tidy solution that you just show up on a Tuesday in November and it goes away. No, And the biggest problems in this country have not gone away because people showed up on a random Tuesday in November. It's just not how that shit works.

Leave it to the voters. It's so yeah, it's it's it's not useful, it doesn't help anyone. It it also like can it I don't know, like you know a way it allows people to just sort of be like, don't just don't worry about it right now. It's like no, no, no, we need to be engaged right now.

No. And every single time he is allowed to run, which I think he will try to do again, it just further I don't know. I'm just like, how much renormalizing him And people are like, oh, well, he won't be able to run again. Of course he's gonna run again. Of course he's gonna try to run again. Of course he's going to extend. He's not a limits, he's not.

No. And every single time he is allowed to run, which I think he will try to do again, it just further I don't know.

Of course he's going to extend. He's not a limits, he's not.

Allowed too though, So I think we're good. Yeah, oh yeah. So this is a thing that I also believe and have believed like since the like first three days of the administrators. I was like, oh, yeah, this is a rap, But like I am curious, like what does it look like when we don't have the election? Is it like just a sham election where all the rules are being bent and there's absolutely no you know, confidence that the votes are being counted. Maybe like some sort of federal author already comes and intervenes because they've like alleged all this voter fraud or what.

Maybe like some sort of federal author already comes and intervenes because they've like alleged all this voter fraud or what.

Then there have to be elections. I mean, I think there have to be some some some mock elections like even you know, Putin's Russia as elections, right exactly. I mean I do think you know, when starlink has full control of like how we count our votes and centralizes that, you know, how do we think it's all going to come down? So yeah, I think there's just going to be like ballot stuffing but via data. I mean, that's my that's my opinion.

So yeah, I think there's just going to be like ballot stuffing but via data. I mean, that's my that's my opinion.

Yeah, there's not there's too much momentum for people to still think elections are needed, you know, that it can't just be like all right, we're not doing them anymore. And it was like, oh okay, because there's still there's still plenty of like conservatives that like still romanticize the idea of like winning at the ballot box.

Yeah, there's not there's too much momentum for people to still think elections are needed, you know, that it can't just be like all right, we're not doing them anymore. And it was like, oh okay, because there's still there's still plenty of like conservatives that like still romanticize the idea of like winning at the ballot box.

So and I also think that there could I mean, if if you want to stall elections or you want to not have them, you basically have to create some sort of either internal external war, so you spend elections, right, you used to spend elections because of wartime. So hey, if we're fighting the enemy from within, or if there's an actual invasion, or if we reclassify you know, everyone is terrorists, well then we're fighting a war on terror and we can't have an election because we're in the middle of a project that is, you know, fundamental to our national security. So like you can see how you know that is also a path.

So like you can see how you know that is also a path.

Yeah, I mean they've been doing all the stuff they said they were going to do, all the bad stuff. They've been doing it like harder than anybody expected them to do it already in like the first month, and he did say we're not going to need to have elections or this is going to be the last time we have elections. So I again just feel like we should start taking them at their work.

Yeah, I mean they've been doing all the stuff they said they were going to do, all the bad stuff. They've been doing it like harder than anybody expected them to do it already in like the first month, and he did say we're not going to need to have elections or this is going to be the last time we have elections. So I again just feel like we should start taking them at their work.

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

Yeah, the the crisis like manufactured either by dismantling the entire infrastructure that makes the country safe and operable, safe and like functional or like whether it was he'll be just like a war, whether he's just like I don't know, like this, this would definitely give me more power, and he just seems to be all about accumulating as much power as possible. Yeah, I'm not sure on which one. It's really tired.

Yeah, the the crisis like manufactured either by dismantling the entire infrastructure that makes the country safe and operable, safe and like functional or like whether it was he'll be just like a war, whether he's just like I don't know, like this, this would definitely give me more power, and he just seems to be all about accumulating as much power as possible. Yeah, I'm not sure on which one. It's really tired.

You know, he's just tired lately. Just let elon do it. You know, he's such a little like he's good, he's so slump shouldered, right, you know, I know.

You know, he's just tired lately. Just let elon do it. You know, he's such a little like he's good, he's so slump shouldered, right, you know, I know.

That cabinet meeting where he was just on pause and he's just like and he's talking and I'll just look off a thousand yard stair off into the abyss because I'm not getting control anymore. But this is the rhythm. I mean, he gets in these adderall rhythms where he's like he'll he'll go away for a couple of days and then come back fucking just raging. We we know, we know how these rhythms work.

That cabinet meeting where he was just on pause and he's just like and he's talking and I'll just look off a thousand yard stair off into the abyss because I'm not getting control anymore.

We we know, we know how these rhythms work.

He'd rather be golfing, and he actually, I mean I always think such a lib like yeah, like, oh, they'll talk about the golfing, But the fact that he's been golfing.

He'd rather be golfing, and he actually, I mean I always think such a lib like yeah, like, oh, they'll talk about the golfing, But the fact that he's been golfing.

This much is christ so much? They're like, well, he's he's breaking records for just even professional golfers golfing. Remember when him and bid him, We're like, I bet I bet I could beat you, and golf game sucks out of the sand. Cool. Cool, it's a cool system. I bet I bet my blood pumps at a higher pressure through my body than yours. My heart is strong. Let's let's try that. Okay. Yeah, somehow his like high blood pressure is keeping him alive. It's like there's all the all these like fucked up things, right, like mister yeah, yeah, all right, Well, we do have an idea now of what things are going to look like going forward from the Democratic Party. It is, unfortunately exactly what we expected. Uh, we'll take a quick break. We'll come back and talk about this little retreat that some center Dems went on that I feel like reveals the playbook going forward. We'll be right back and we're back. We're back, and so this third way sounds not at all nefarious. Group. That's like, guys, we've tried the Republican, we've tried the Democratic. What if we tried a third way that was also exactly like those two. Yeah, but like kind of an average of the two, kind of because they seem like they're more moderate than the mainstream Democratic Party. But miles in terms of like kind of the makeup of this group, who is powering this group? Where's the We've talked before about like the pod save guys talking about how when you're deciding if somebody is a good candidate for office, you go and they were saying this as a critique, but it's just the way, like and this is just the way it is. They're saying, like you just go through their phone and be like, Okay, that's a billion billionaire. Yeah, okay, you actually do qualify you could be a candidate. What what does an organization like this look like? What's it's make leadership foundationally? And it's bones right, because this is a group that got together last month in uh Louden County, Louden County, Virginia to figure out how do we get the Democratic Party back on track? How do we reclaim the attention of the working class and the normal American person? And so this group the third way put this, you know, little retreat together with consultants and politicians, their board. I'm just gonna say the chairperson on the board of trustees of Thirdway dot Org is one Rachel Pritzker. Now you may you might be like, wait, I know that last name. Yes, because of a very it's a very dynastic, wealthy family hotel like the Hyatt hotels. JB. Pritzker, who's also the governor of Illinois, is her cousin. She is the chairperson. So we have somebody who comes from dynastic wealth as the chair of this group third Way. Then you just go through their board of trustees. It's either someone who comes from venture capital, someone who comes from Wall Street, or like an academic who gives it some sort of like intellectual credit or yeah, you know, like just just a little bit of what's the word I'm looking for, Uh, what I might help me intellectual bona fidees bona fide Yes, exactly. Where it's like, well, we have this sociologist who's also on the board who talks about inequality. I mean, obviously we won't do anything about it, but they are going to board. They have trustees, some sociologists from the Stanford MBA program. Yeah, that's like rich people win get over it. So they came together and Politico, who's also done a real interesting job of reporting since Trump has gone into office, has like sort of un They got a hold of this pdf that has like five pages of like their takeaways as they got together to do a mind meld, and it's so fucking disheartening, but also into it.

This much is christ so much? They're like, well, he's he's breaking records for just even professional golfers golfing. Remember when him and bid him, We're like, I bet I bet I could beat you, and golf game sucks out of the sand. Cool. Cool, it's a cool system.

Yeah, before you go into it, because it's really awful. Let's just there's it's really important because the way this or peace was reported on, and even I misunderstood it when I first read it because it's been making the rounds, is that it was like they don't name the Third Way group like politicals like centrist Deems group or like leading Dems. It's very cagy, yeah, which makes it sound like a little bit broader, like more Democrats are buying into this, or that the DNC maybe have something to do with it, or the d triple C you know, and the fundraising arm had something to do with it. No, the Third Way is like notoriously awful, So I just want to name like it's it's not it's not necessarily where the rest of the party, although I have massive questions about where they're going to go, right, but they should definitely not listen to yes, the following recommendation.

Right, I think what it is more than anything, shows that there is the fight for the Democratic Party is well and truly on, and right now the Centrists are making their case. They're trying to round the resources to be like it has to be this version of the Democratic Party. It can't be this fucking a fringe shit like that AOC is talking about, or stuff where they're talking about like taxing the wealthy. I'm sorry, I'm Rachel Pritzker, Like I can't have a bite taken out of my fortune because of this kind of shit. No, but let's make it sound like something good. So again, this was the third way is comeback retreat, and there's four sections takeaways on why Democrats have a cultural disconnect with the working class, Takeaways on why Democrats are not trusted by the working class, on the economy, then takeaways on how Democrats can reconnect culturally with the working class, and takeaways on how Democrats can rebuild economic trust with working class voters.

Is this like they all were given a mirror and just had to hold it up to their own goddamn faces and were like, we are the reason that the Democratic Party is not connected to the world. It's like a do you guys remember the scene? And if I'm a big Fried Green Tomatoes fan, but like to like get to know your body like Kathy Bates, like has air and she looks at her vagina. Yeah, this is like they need to look at their faces. Look your bank account, look your face, look at your car, look at you know, like who you hang out with?

Who is the person you know personally that you have in your phone book that you interact with as a person. Yes, and not a service provider, right, just as just as a question, I think that should be the first question rather how many billionaires you know? Your phone cap and berated the Direct TV guy the other day, Does that count? Yeah? I didn't even have aid do it. I just had some steam to blow off. So so I'll read through these and we can stop at whichever one you'd like to, because they're all equally infuriating. But first takeaways on why democrats have a cultural disconnect with the working class. One over emphasis on identity politics too, the faculty lounge problem, which is again they're saying quote Democrats are often viewed as judgmental, out of touch, and dismissive of those without elite education or progressive views. I like how they go, or progressive views very telling, or or us where we don't like that, we feel like weird. They don't. We look down on people who aren't college educated. And also they think we're too woke. Don't ignore. Just to ignore that last part, keep going, it's woke, it's woke. My virus number three, failure to prioritize economic concerns. That's true, true, that's true, But they go it's going to go in an interesting direction. Well, the subhetter is, while voters struggle with jobs, wages, and inflation, Democrats are seen as more focused on cultural and social issues than on economic progress and opportunity. They don't like racism. Well they're also they're not they're not connected in any way. They're not all woven together in this much larger thing called American culture. Anyway. Then we weak messaging and communication through fear of dissent within the party. This is where the wheels completely blow off. Now Democrats is again from this document quote, Democrats are perceived as intolerant of internal debate. We're questioning progressive we're questioning progressive orthodoxy, results in backlash rather than open discussion. Candidates and operatives need to feel more comfortable just saying no to activist groups and unpalatable far left ideas. This is again where you're seeing how the fight's playing out.

I mean like it's like every heading is like okay, and then their description is like absolutely not.

I mean like it's like every heading is like okay, and then their description is like absolutely not.

Yeah, right, right, right right exactly.

Yeah, right, right, right right exactly.

So where does Gaza fit into the fear of dissent within the party?

So where does Gaza fit into the fear of dissent within the party?

Right?

Right?

I mean like there, this is amazing, right, because this is the whole thing is like we feel like we're being policed and we feel like we have to get in line. Now. Granted, we haven't gotten in line, and we have not listened to our base, and we've ignored the mass movements, whether it's around BLM or around Gaza. We completely ignore them and we punch left and we treat them like shit. Right, but they make us feel bad and we still ignore them. It's just like what you what are you talking about?

Kabla Harrison energy coming into the election and then promptly steered in the direct direction they're suggesting the party go and lost all the momentum exactly righteah, yeah right. Attachment to unpopular institutions very weird.

The ones that are now being obliterated by Elon so Republican light got it, got.

Got right, allowing the far left to define the party. Activist groups and progressive staffers push unpopular cultural positions, making it seem like Democrats are more extreme than they actually are. What the fuck are you talking about? Operatives and campaigns. Must remember that activist groups exist to promote their single issue and raise money around it, not to make Democrats electable reactionary rather than proactive. Over reliance on buzzwords and political correctness hikes and ten, lack a positive national identity message. Okay, Democrats focus too much on America's flaws racism, sexism, inequality without acknowledging the country's progress and potential, making them seem pessimistic and unpatriotic. This is just so very much. Just got their ass kicked in an election where the opposing side did nothing but talk about how America was a complete shithole. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah again. It's very right, right right, it is wild? Where again you this? This next part takeaways on why Democrats are not trusted by the working class On the economy. They could all be summed up in one sentence, which is we cape for capitalism and the status quo and nothing else. That's the problem every time. So the first one vilification of wealth. Democrats are seen as hostile to success, indifferent to people's desire to attain wealth, while reflexively attacking wealthy business leaders instead of promoting economic mobility and aspiration. Hm disconnected messaging like everything is just so. Democrats focus on broad economic indicators instead of acknowledging real struggles like high prices and stagnant wages, making voters feel dismissed and unheard. Yeah you can, this is the problem. You'll point, you'll gesture to the problems, but you'll never fucking wrestle with the issues. That's that's I mean, this is just wild.

Like, first of all, these are complete nincome poops number one, but number one and number two of why democrats are not trusted by the working class are completely antithetical to one another. We have disconnected messaging. We don't actually make it clear that we understand and listen to voters' economic concerns. When grocery prices are exorbitantly high, they can't afford childcare, on and on and on. But people are being too mean to corporations and we can vilify the wealthy. This is the problem. This is but this is actually why Joe Biden failed in a lot of ways beyond the butcher Biden you know, last fifteenth you know year of his presidency was really about like, Okay, we're going to sort of nibble around the edges, pass and reforms, go after you know, monopolies, but we're not going to do it hard enough or swift enough to actually make real gains that impact people's lives. And we're going but we're gonna still piss off the one percent, and we're never going to gain popular so port for these programs and for these things like stopping the price gouging or making sure that you know, you know, Apple and Google and Amazon are you know, have to break up or sell off certain companies or we're you know, we're suing them all that we're not going to make these very valiant policies that we are enacting actually popular because we're not gonna specifically vilify the one percent. Like in order to connect to people economically, you have to vilify the wealth. You have to vilify the one percent. It gives people something to latch onto and that's you know, that's why Trump is so successful is because he's demonizing immigrants, trans people, women like, we understand that, So give them the opposite, say the ninety nine percent versus the one percent. It's what catapulted the occupy movement into Bernie Sanders two time near electoral win.

Like, first of all, these are complete nincome poops number one, but number one and number two of why democrats are not trusted by the working class are completely antithetical to one another. We have disconnected messaging. We don't actually make it clear that we understand and listen to voters' economic concerns.

So it's just like, yeah, the one percent, but the one percent is running everything, so how can we expect them to even have this like this one part too. Failure to address economic anxiety is another one where it's like, yeah, no shit, but again they just go on to just like talk around the issue. Another one is nine the breakroom versus the boardroom. Democratic economic messages often come from elite celebrities and politicians rather than working class voices that voters can relate to. What you're saying is, yes, the party has been captured by the hyper wealthy, so you're inherently going to have it to communication to our wording, it's not going to happen with Rachel Pritzker or people of that ilk at the helm of a political party. They have absolutely is so far out of their vagina and a mirror.

That's what I'm trying to say.

That's what I'm trying to say.

Just say that just look at it for us. At it for a second and it'll be.

Just say that just look at it for us. At it for a second and it'll be.

Actually it's not nearly as nice as doing that, but like, yeah, it's this is No one should take anything these people say seriously. And it's really annoying that the way that the political article was spun was made it seem like this wasn't the third everybody knows a third way. Organization has been like tone deaf. Now the problem is is that people you know, like James Carville will pair it a lot of these points, and many people pay it these points, which is basically like we need to get rid of the racial justice component, which is not really even a component. It's just sort of a lip service that we pay to real equity in this country. Get rid of all that language because weren't actually doing anything to implement it. Also hop on board with DEI programs, DIA programs, which are again stopgap measures that mostly make ourselves look better and so we don't have to address structural issues economic issues broadly like this is. And then the last thing like don't make me look at twenty twenty five and like miss Obama, like don't make me miss the way. The one thing that Obama was actually able to do well, which was I think, give some sort of narrative structure to this democracy that we live in. Is specifically when it comes to like multiracial democracy, a country that is still in formation, in the making, that is a sum of its parts, you know that its best days are ahead, not behind, but truly with again this like call it it's not post racial, but of course in the minds of a lot of white people, this like post racial. Everyone's moving forward, you know, we can do it together. Like like, it's just so wild that we live in a time where like two thousand and nine seemed really hopeful, you know, And and I say that as someone who in two thousand and nine was actually not that hopeful, and of course was like everyone else many progress is very disappointed. But like, it's not that hard to have a narrative of multi racial democracy that is inclusive, where there's an economy that works for all people. It's fucking really simple to articulate that, and many politicians do.

Yeah, I think it's like just something about this, especially in third way and knowing how wealthy the people are behind it too, or like they they can they're reading the room that the clock is take for people like for just ignoring the wealth hoarding that's happening from the like the very wealthy, and I think they're trying to like dance around it in this way where they're like, ah, it's a problem, but I certainly don't know how to contend with it. That ends up with me having less than I already do. And that's that's a totally that's because all this stuff just reads to me is it's pro inequality propaganda, like all of these talking points, and if that's your worldview, if you're pro inequality or just indifferent to inequality, all of these talking points are very easy for you to pairrot and act like you're analyzing and observing a problem and that maybe there's something to be done about it, but you are falling short of the actual work of saying we actually have to begin to dismantle these structures if we want a tangible effect, if we want voters to actually have some kind of tangible outcome that they can then connect to this party and say, yeah, you know what, I trust them, I'll vote for them because I can see they understand what's at stake and they're contending with it than trying to be like the problem is and this they say this in their document, small dollar donors, that's a thing to be. That's a remedy they're putting in here. Revised democratic fundraising parties move away from the dominance of small dollar donors whose preferences may not align with the broader electric Aka, stop listening to the people who were trying to who's trust we're trying to regain and just just get all the money from our wealthy friends.

It is a complete nonsensical document because it's just full of these hypocrisies. The small dollar donors, I eat many many people, don't represent many many people.

Right, you know what I'm saying.

Right, you know what I'm saying.

No, nobody knows what you're saying. It doesn't make any sense. And again, this is what's gonna look guys, this is what gets us fascism. This kind of thinking. Yeah, lines in the Sanda been drawing, y'all, there's a class war. Which side are you on? Okay, stop fucking caping like you care when you want to maintain you know, tax structure the way it is. When you're not actually really going to address wealth inequality, shut up, Just go go over to the side of the room of the gymnasium with all the billionaires because we don't need you anymore. We understand, Like truly though, I'm just like so sick of these people, you know, helping the Democratic Party and its tail spin and it's their fucking nose dives, because this is this is what the Kamala Harris campaign did.

It's exactly what these things. Yes, yeah, the I mean, so the playbook, I feel like for the Democratic Party, both successfully and unsuccessfully, has been promised progressive change, like big radical change and then govern as a right leaning York photocracy and like that playbook and not.

Even really do the former, like not even really promise broad right.

Even really do the former, like not even really promise broad right.

Yeah yeah, just like gesture esthetically, Obama felt like he was offering revolutionary change, hope and change, you know, but then like out really in any sort of real way did A was I mean, like.

Yeah yeah, just like gesture esthetically, Obama felt like he was offering revolutionary change, hope and change, you know, but then like out really in any sort of real way did A was I mean, like.

You know, ACA was a good like when I'm I'm even again, I put Obama in a separate category at this point, like Kamala Harris did not run an Obama campaign at all. There was no big idea and again there was so much working against her and on and on and on, but like this is useless.

Yeah, no, I mean really. Yeah, I feel like because people have been fooled by this so long, and like, yes, the Obama like ACA was something, it was also written by the insurance industry, and like I think the big original sin that people can't get past is the bailing out of Wall Street. And yeah, like but so the two options seem to be like promise progressive and then government progressive. If you're not going to do the promise progressive and then govern as a corporatography, it's promised progressive and then government progressive or promise corporatography and govern the way you've always been governing.
