Are you referring specifically to this cycle, or Democrats in the past in a more general sense?
I don't recall ever having heard Kamala bring up her race or gender. When asked about it directly in an interview, she said it's no secret she's a woman of color but never really followed up on it.
I do remember her talking a lot about her experience growing up in a middle class family or becoming a prosecutor, but does that really count as identity politics?
I believe you can trust your intuition on this one. Assuming he is successful in doing what he promises (which, with Trump, you can never trust anything he says but always have to assume the worst), erasing a century's worth of progress in the administrative state will have disastrous consequences for the most vulnerable members of society who rely on entitlement programs to make ends meet during these late stages of neoliberalism (as one example, but there are others, like the FDA and EPA). but all these cuts will take a few points off the bottom line for the ultra rich, so let the apologists and propagandists sing about how great it will be when that all trickles down (it never does).
they were too busy courting "moderates" by sprinting to the right and capitulating to Republicans' framing of the issues, a tried and true losing strategy
!remindme in 1 year when the effects of mass deporting low income agriculture workers and slapping tariffs across the board kick in and people are hurting even worse. our big beefy boy will have done dick about it and people will revert back to hating him yet again.
the average American voter doesn't have the attention span to even remember covid or how Trump botched the response and helped kill a million Americans, much less the awareness to understand how badly the pandemic broke supply chains and thus the global economy, nor how the Biden admin still helped us fare better than the rest of the developed world in recovering from it.
not that that's the voters' fault. Dems did absolutely fuck all to raise awareness of that for the every man. instead, they barked at people saying the economy has recovered to all time highs (for CEOs), ignoring the actual plight of the working class.
Watch the video in the article. What a fucking nightmare...
I use Qwant sometimes but it's sourced from Bing. Searx is better if you can self-host. Kagi is better if you can afford to pay (but you asked for free).
What a senseless waste of life. And I bet all of these completely avoidable and totally unnecessary tragedies make excellent recruitment propaganda for the likes of Hamas.
“Everyone’s saying it.”
Agreed, if not for the presumption of innocence.
And that baby should have been aborted
A lot of firefighters are volunteers. I have no idea about this case but maybe they would try to use that as a defense, if so.
Side note, it's utterly baffling that such an essential function basically runs off of charity. What a joke.
What...? Why would we respect the priest for doubling down on being wrong? The venerable, mature thing for him to do would have been to acknowledge the situation of the child and show some understanding and mercy.
Without knowing anything else, this instance makes him sound petty, or at least negligent, and not like anybody deserving of unconditional respect.
