Nice. It didn't really happen. It was close

Putting things in context, 155 million voters turned out to vote in 2020 when since 2004 the total vote was never more than 129 million votes. The Sniffer, hiding in his basement, somehow got voters in 2020 to come out in a pandemic 15 million times more than any other election year. Mail it in Bro. No wonder Hillary called out election interference in 2016. She was anticipating.

The new way, according to the seasoned and inculcated College Student and Aspiring Political Strategist and Warren-AOC ;) Campaign Adviser is to inject no ID Mail in voting and allow illegal immigrants to vote just one time. Then, the Elite, that be him, can Federalize elections, pack the courts, eliminate the electoral college, allow DC in as a state and censor ones opposition in order to build a consensus, the Elite knows it deserves. (Incredibly, that was the stated intent and of course it was not far left, it was mainstream DNC) Viewing the election results from this lens, a Warren-AOC ticket will win going away in 2028, and forever after, on a platform of open borders, democratic wars, more spending, Climate Hysteria, CRT and DEI. The battle cry will be Four More Wars, Free the Oppressed, Bomb The Apartheid State and Free Palestine! It won't even be close...:) One Party Rule, and it will be Mandated...Talk about a consensus. The 15 million souls who seem to have gone missing will ascend again, no ID required.

For the benefit of Michael's free and paid subscribers, I also wanted to enclose his excellent LinkedIn post promoting this most recent blog article:

I would like to respond to the article below. One of the DNC members who commented publicly on the "far-left" or "progressives" is RI real estate mogul and former Clinton Ambassador to Malta Joe Paolino (sounds like the perfect messenger for the working class, doesn't he?).

For context, Paolino lost several bids for Congress and for Mayor (and Governor too), the 1996 congressional bid unsuccessful partly because he pathetically berated the Latino community in Rhode Island, which sunk him from being the frontrunner to win that race.

So to Clinton alum Paolino, and the audience at large, consider that the Clinton Third Way has dominated our party politics for more than 30 years. The presidential nominees have largely run in their mold. Congressional Democratic leaders have picked fiscally and socially conservative Democrats over the years and decades, often against Progressive Democrats and often outright hostile against the Sanders-Warren wing of the party. We saw this in 2016, in 2018, in 2020, 2022, and even in 2024.

And we know the establishment went to great measure to influence the Harris campaign in a way they did not with Biden's team in 2020. Let's not kid ourselves to that. This is their party, not ours that is at fault.

Clinton Neoliberalism and Corporate Centrism has failed the Democratic Party. And quite frankly, it is time to move on from it for good.

Which is why it is disgraceful how the party elites are pulverizing President Joe Biden, VP Kamala Harris, and Tim Walz. The bedwetting and lack of courage to recognize their consequential impact and work is astonishing.

And yes, those who are criticizing Lindy Li's recent whistleblowing on DNC finances are doing a massive disservice to the party. The only way to come back from this setback is to look upon ourselves and learn our lessons for the next time around. Pretending all is well will do nothing for anyone. Self-evaluation should not be discouraged at this time.

Such a massive irony that progressives who stuck by the President and Vice President publicly are the ones who are excoriated the most by the backstabbing "centrist" elite and donor classes who were ready to let loose on a whole range of fronts. Just some analysis to consider out there.

Excellent take, Michael! Democrats need to learn the right lessons.
