Trump’s takeover of the manosphere left liberals pining for their own Joe Rogan. But the hosts of ‘Chapo,’ still stung by Bernie’s defeats, would rather let the party establishment burn. “I’m not giving any campaign advice here,” says Will Menaker, “other than to believe different things.”

    Dumb “article”, but not a bad insight. Democrats need more focus. Hands down. “This sucks now, and here’s how we can fix it”. Harris never had a real opportunity to even go that far being a VP, because she would be undermining her own Administration. It really seems obvious that both right and left just want corporate greed taken down a number of pegs. Fuck all the hand wringing about jobs, and then shutting down businesses, make them pay fucking taxes like everyone, stop the flow of money from the poor to the rich, and just fucking SAY THAT’S WHAT YOURE GOING TO DO. That’s literally what both sides want to hear, plain and simple.

      I mean, I’m pretty sure it was part of Harris’ platform to increase taxes on the 1%, it was just pretty much ignored by the legacy media, who are now just the mouthpiece of the wealthy. That said, it wasn’t enough of a change. It was a bandaid when we need a tourniquet.

        Yes. Somebody needs to be extremely explicit, as in “The wealthy are fucking you over. We need to rebalance.”

          Yeah, I guess I can’t just blame the legacy media, because even when she had the attention of the nation with a live mic, she still didn’t try to hammer it home.

          I almost think the small wealth tax she was proposing put the “elites” solidly in Trump’s corner. So not only did she alienate her wealthy backers by doing something, but also the working class by not doing enough. It was pretty much the worst of both worlds.
