Fareed's just another millionaire "journalist" who always blames the Left & working class people's ignorance, rather than the DNC's complete servitude to billionaires at the expense of everyone else!!!!! Can you remember one time, ever, even once that Fareed has suggested an answer that didn't help Corporations instead of people or support yet another war?!? Wokeness is why the DNC lost?!? Instead of course the DNC keeping Biden's decline secret, the fact that DNC knows that Russia can't be beat or Americans don't like paying for genocide, the fact that Bernie was screwed by the establishment twice and no primary at all last time, ignoring the fact that they let corporations buy up all the housing, that they crushed the rail workers strike and on and on and on..... But Tell us again how you lost because someone suggested trans people or refugees should have rights?!?
No, I'm afraid no lessons have been learned, except that No matter how criminal they act or how obviously they sell out to billionaires, the DNC and it's corporate propagandist's like Fareed will continue to get rich for lying to the American people. My only hope is that they will continue to be shown as complete and total FRAUDS with not only zero morality but an actual malevolent hate towards real journalism as it threatens their ability to extract wealth for propaganda.
The system works.

The DNC is controlled opposition, who are actively planning against the interests of working people, it's not that the DNC made a mistake or are misunderstanding when it comes to strategy or goals. Their SOLE purpose is to block the Left, reward the donors, while avoiding accountability. FULL STOP. PERIOD.
Using that as a framework, did the DNC actually lose 2024? Bernie's movement is dead, ALL the DNC leaders kept their positions, ALL the DNC donors got deregulation & massive tax breaks, DNC gets to shift blame for Gaza/Ukraine (while still managing to help murder 100's of thousands of innocent people) on the Left, collapsing infrastructure & inflation on Trump and BEST OF ALL, after 4 more years of Trump terrorizing normies, they will be begging for the next warhawk corporate DNC candidate. "Liz Cheney for President 2028!?!?!"
So! If the DNC'S REAL agenda was actually to block progress, reward donors & consolidate power, was the last 50 year's of Neoliberal destruction of the middle class a failure or a massive success for the DNC's "good billionaire's?!?!"
Clearly we've entered the Weimar Republic 2.0, as the Democrats will acquiesce to any of Trump's most depraved horrors to safeguard their privilege and wealth. Sound familiar!?!?
The system works.

I can't help but shake the feeling that Jon Stewart got the same talk that Bernie Sanders got or AOC when they started focusing attention on the "wrong people." The one that says, "hey, listen it's okay to mess around at the edges because that doesn't f*** with billionaires money or the security establishmen's ability to suppress democracy BUT if you keep f**** around and riling up the "poor's" or even worse the lower middle classes, then a "lone wolf" could get you MLK'd?!?!
I'm sure the establishment reminds them that JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King and Malcolm x (not mentioning that all leaders in every other country for the last 70 years who tried to represent their people fairly were either imprisoned, destroyed through blackmail, coups and assassinated) were all just fine when they were uselessly crying about civil rights, however, once they tied it to the working class, its relation to the military industrial complex and organized the working class that united the Right & Left sides on an understanding that they were BOTH being exploited by the same people, they were ALL assassinated within a year by "lone wolves." Convenient.......
The system works
P.S. I have come to the conclusion that there needs to be a massive movement similar to freeing Assange for the full and unredacted JFK assassination dossier which will I'm sure exposed the CIA & how they worked with the mafia to assassinate a president that didn't want world War 3. I think, they'll be able to show that President Johnson was complicit in this crime and it has affected every foreign policy and arguably domestic policy as a result ever since? Until the American people can be clearly told that the usa's secret police murdered their President for trying to bring Peace to the world so that the Establishment could deny things like universal Healthcare, infrastructure, education for all Americans so that they can compete in a world market and most importantly a free and open society where The security establishment can't use the threat of enemies abroad as a way to erode all civil liberties for Americans that the founders fought and died for.
The system works.

Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with CCCP) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country.
America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term.
This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate."
I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!?

CNN pays Fareed to pee down your leg and tell you that it's trickling down "FREEDOM!" instead Neoliberalism's real purpose, boarded up Main St's, rust belts & homelessness?
The Neoliberal concenus has failed, as people understand that "free trade" has been designed to screw them, so that the ultra wealthy can become DISGUSTINGLY even MORE WEALTHY AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERY ONE ELSE.
The DNC base tried to vote for Bernie Sanders, twice, as such, the DNC donors punished them for not choosing a corporate hack in either 2016 or 2020 primaries. Therefore, they weren't even allowed to have a primary last time, as they couldn't be trusted to ensure the interests of the billionaire donor class over their workers. Forcing them to choose between a demented gameshow host with authoritarian tendencies OR a person without ANY IDEALOGICAL COMMITMENT's TO ANYTHING, WHATSOEVER, OTHER THAN NAKED SELF INTEREST & BILLIONAIRES.

Harris will promise a lot to workers, Corporate Joe Biden certainly did?!?!?
I think the most important thing is to remind everyone, especially young people, of all Biden's 2020 campaign promises like a $15 minimum wage, public option for healthcare, not to issue any oil drilling on federal lands(Let alone the most ever), fully funded infrastructure package rather than gutting it for corporate oil lobbyists, voting rights act for George Floyd, not putting refugees in cages let alone keeping Trump's border policies, not one more mile of Trump's border wall (yup billions more), making Saudi Arabia's MBS pay for the murder of TWO American journalists, cynically cancelling student debt in a way that he knew SCOTUS would stop in a way he could cynically send people back to the polls.
Once in government the DNC crushed the rail workers movement, forcing them back to work for the audacity of asking for a single day off?! continuing to ignore the Flint water crisis, also, let's not forget the absolute f**** tragedy that is East Palestine rail chemical disaster that the people there still continue to suffer from. Also, rather than trying to deal in a humane and sensible immigration reform, Biden totally capitulated to the far right view of further militarizing the border while not getting anything for people who've being in the country for decades, resolving nothing except to move the conversation towards the anti-immigration crowd. Expanding the military industrial complexes budget with zero accountability for the fact they don't know where the money went and expanding the nuclear Arsenal while dropping all of the non nuclear prolification agreements. I can keep going on and on and on but none of this should surprise anyone. Biden has been one of the most corporate captured and Republican friendly Senators of all time, with a record that shows nothing except total complicity in selling out the American people for political personal gain & $. His administration is the perfect embodiment of the DNC's worldview, campaign to the Left, Rule to the Right. Reward the donor's, ensure the protection of Israel so that Netanyahu can break every single possible crime against humanity. Biden undermined any possible peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia costing hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides , which at the end of this I guarantee will be the exact same place as to where the original land agreement was.. Oh, yeah, let's not forget the only thing that he was involved in with Obama that actually was helpful, like normalization of relations with Cuba, or Iran?!? Once elected he didn't do anything on those fronts either because it was more important to him to ingratiate himself with right-wing corporate media than to spend political capital on the things he campaigned on to do the right thing that would have actually helped the people in those countries as well as the USA in terms of trade and having any, what's so f**** ever credibility on the world stage?!?! Could you imagine how much more important it would be to have Iran in the world economic system right now so that they had something to lose?!??
I get why the DNC pushed him over Bernie Sanders, clearly Biden's hubris and ignorance was easy to manipulate his foreign policy agenda in the Israeli direction unlike Obama, who was smarter than that. The fact Biden was an avowed "Zionist" was just icing on the cake! Unfortunately, Hamas 's October 7th attack totally destroyed Netanyahu's narrative that his support of Hamas as a way to destabilize Palestine as a whole would guarantee the greater security to everyone in the region was proven extremely false, now sadly those chickens have come home to roost for not only all of those slaughtered children, but the rest of us who have to deal with the policy failures of a demented old man & The DNC political establishment that prioritized its own personal gains, profit and exploitation of the region over the geopolitical goals of the states for the next hundred years.
I bring all this up because of his first choice as president, he picked Kamala Harris as his running mate. My belief is that it was because she was a failure running for president and he knew that he was such a weak candidate that he couldn't withstand any kind of political talent from anyone else, whatsoever and she certainly fulfilled that goal. Also, the DNC knew that she was such a weak candidate as well, that she would never, under any circumstances talk back or have any kind of spine or political beliefs whatsoever that could complicate their commitment to the donor class. More importantly, Kamala would n't have any shame whatsoever because she believes in nothing at all. The DNC had assembled the perfect team of ambition without ideology, an ability to change opinion on fundamental issues without a hint of shame and most importantly of all, a complete and total disregard for everyone except for themselves.
Obviously, the DNC knew that this would be extremely unpalatable to the American people, but Trump is the gift that keeps on giving! His total disregard for the norms which give the false pretense that Washington DC isn't just a total grift to extract $ from the working class while giving it to the 1% and ensuring that they never, under any circumstance, ever, pay any consequences for their incompetence, corruption and or complete and total criminality in terms of hundreds, if not millions of people's lives.
If they receive 5% of the vote, the Green's get major Federal funding BUT more importantly the DNC wouldn't be able to use the legal system (as much anyways) to attack the Greens despite the fact that there's no ACTUAL legitimate legal grounds BUT solely as LAW-FARE to take time and money from the Green Party to suppress the democratic options of the American people.
The system works. Don't support it, vote for Jill Stein's Green Party.

@bobf5360 I study politics and history as a hobby so I'm well aware of that "might makes right!" foreign policy chops of America. Clearly, the American government has felt entitled to murder any democratically elected leader in any country, including its own since WW2 (The world is such a great place as a result!). However, I don't find that comforting and I don't really suggest it as a way to ensure a future for our children that doesn't include drinking out of a puddle after a nuclear Holocaust. The reality is that America's hegemonic power structure is diminishing rapidly as a result of its greed, stupidity and overwhelming lack of foresight based on even the most obvious demographics. The DNC's commitment to the Israeli murder campaign across the middle East (Let alone the idiotic proxy war on Russia, that will 100% end in failure with a million ukrainians dead, but at least BlackRock will become trillionaires!) will eventually lead to them attempting to destroy Iran. When that happens and the Iranians conclude that they're going to die regardless (everyone in the world knows that America's word is worthless), as they understand that there are no "rules based order" as you've just so casually admitted to. They will conclude that killing as many Israelis as humanly possible on their way out makes the only sense seeing as they're going to die regardless. When that happens, I have a very strong suspicion that Netanyahu has made it abundantly clear that unless the USA wipes Iran completely off the map, they will drop a nuke on the capitol of Tehran. However, let's assume that Israel will only do their standard mass murder spree and kill Iranian leadership, even the moderates, the entire region will rightly conclude what the USA has planned for the region. The Iranians have clearly stated that they will 100% destroy all of the oil fields in the middle East if attacked, which will devastate the world economy as the world's oil resources burn. This will be great for American billionaires who own the oil resources that are linked to both the Republicans and Democrats (same with Russia). However, everyone else will endure inflation unlike anything they've ever seen, ever at any point in history, that will make America into Argentina. That is to say, regardless as to whether it's Kamala or whether it's Trump, the American plan seems to me to be a death March, that is eventually going to end in nuclear Armageddon at the worst or complete economic collapse for everyone who's not a billionaire, just so Netanyahu can avoid prison for corruption charges?!?!
I'm hoping we could just get him a get out of jail free card and give him a billion dollars to just f*** off. But sadly, not only the American government is too stupid to understand how dangerous this all is, but its population is so deeply ignorant of how outraged the world is against their sponsor of a genocide and how much the world is United in their absolute disgust of what Israel has done while the American government has paid for it.
But tell me again why it matters who gets elected in November!?!? Oh yeah, electing Kamala will make for a slower, gentler genocide yay?!?!?

More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy.......

Trump is the inevitable blowback of 40 years of Neoliberal DNC's broken promises that has seen a massive decline in the standard of living of the overwhelming majority of Americans.
I think the most important thing is to remember, all of Biden's broken 2020 campaign promises like a $15 minimum wage, public option for healthcare, not to issue any oil drilling on federal lands(Let alone the most ever), fully funded infrastructure package rather than gutting it for corporate oil lobbyists, voting rights act for George Floyd, not putting refugees in cages let alone keeping Trump's border policies, not one more mile of Trump's border wall (yup billions more), making Saudi Arabia's MBS pay for the murder of TWO American journalists, cynically cancelling student debt in a way that he knew SCOTUS would stop in a way he could cynically send people back to the polls.

Unfortunately, Trump's grotesque incompetence, paled in comparison to the DNC's choice to TWICE cheat the American people out of their ACTUAL legitimate choice Bernie Sanders & forced literally the worst neoliberalism corporate HACK of ALL TIME Corporate Joe in a desperate attempt to use Trump's incompetence to hide their total contempt for the working classes rejection of the Neoliberal agenda.
Trump is the inevitable blowback to 40 years of neoliberalism brought to you by the DNC and they're failure to deliver the basics. If the party of "democracy" only manages to ever deliver a declining living standard and identity politics instead of the material well being of Americans it's no wonder that they have rejected those obviously empty promises. Sadly, at some point voter will try the strong man and hope that maybe he delivers when "their people have sold them out consistently for 40 years". Trump won't of course but that's the consequence we all have to suffer for the greed hubris of the Democratic party. WORST of ALL the DNC DID THIS ON PURPOSE, If they won then they're neoliberal agenda would be confirmed and celebrated while the billionaire donor class collected their Pound of flesh. However, if they lost then Trump would also reward the billionaire donors with not only taxes but reduced regulation and best of all a way, to drive fear into the hearts of all workers that if they don't support the neoliberal agenda of the Democrats, they will be thrown to the Neoconservative GOP wolves!!!
The system works.
