How much of that was coming from the rank and file members, and how much of was coming from propagandists paid to further a pre-determined narrative? Hillary allegedly had a bot/troll farm pushing her agenda, and some think Khive is also largely bots and paid trolls.
I know a ton of people that were excited about Harris, not necessarily because it was Harris but because she would be more energetic and bold than Biden and had a proven track record of being more progressive as a senator and also in her 2020 campaign Seems like there are bots on all sides
One of Harris's first tests as VP was raising the minimum wage. The Dems had just enough votes to do it, but the parliamentarian said not to. She could have just fired the parliamentarian but instead let a minor roadblock get in the way. Bot bold, not progressive. Just more of the same BS. 👎
I don't agree with that take. I would have sooner expected the dems to modify or eliminate the filibuster than to fire the parliamentarian because that would have been the less destructive path to pushing things through. Something the dems absolutely should have done.
I don’t really care about the numbers there. I care about whether or not rank and file party members are willing to start shouting at the party and its failed leaders rather than at people who want better. You never see moderates tell their own to stop being divisive and mean. We all know why.
Literally just happened upthread, but I agree it would be nice if it happened more
