The Democratic Scam Artists (DSA) of America will tell you that their base didn't vote for Kamala because she campaigned with Liz Cheney. They still complain about this today. So these populists decided people should lose access to Medicaid and nutritional assistance because they got their feelings hurt. I still haven't heard an actually coherent criticism of Kamala from these clowns.

The Democratic Scam Artists (DSA) of America are so obnoxious, even their heroes don't claim them, AOC and Bernie are not members of the DSA. They just lost a close election in Wisconsin where they were absolutely destroyed by older voters, maybe it wasn't a good idea to insult older Americans and rail against the "Gerontocracy," otherwise known as the most reliable voting demographic in America.

>> You’d probably recognize Woke 1, even if you haven’t heard the term. More than a movement or a policy agenda, it was a strident, binary way of talking about race, class, and social justice that peaked after the racial reckoning of 2020…and that ultimately alienated many centrist and working-class voters, including some in minority communities. <<

Very important to note. As early as the 1970s #Democrats we're making alliances with #Hollywood, while a cagey conservative movement chose TV news and talk radio. Now that we have the kind of #Fascism that can silence anyone, those with the most to lose are becoming courageously neutral. Bad choices, fair weather allies.
