the nexus of the better deal seems to be this site: https://democrats.senate.gov/abetterdeal/which which rehashes schumer's op ed, tax credits for employers and all, and promises they'll have more "in the coming weeks" (i dont think theyve announced anything new in the past three weeks or so since the schumer op ed)

thanks, I've looked for their online postings for the better deal but couldn't ever find them

So wait what's the doughnut thing?

Nina Turner said she couldn't be bought with donuts and people are making it a big deal?

Nina Turner and some other Our Revolution folks showed up at a DNC thing to protest or submit petitions or something

the DNC refused to let them in, and to add insult to injury, the DNC bought donuts for them after they were booted out. naturally they were not very happy with this state of affairs and complained on Twitter about it

bad dem twitter is hyperfocusing on the donuts and ignoring the rest, presenting it as a case of hysterical progressive pansies being driven into a frothing rage by clever DNC donut warfare, showing how crazy and unjustified the left is about everything. the centrist boosters are now super obviously trying to turn it into a meme to counter corncob

basically dems can only speak in decorum. its ok if you want to turbofuck the poor, so long as you are nice about it and offer them donuts. the refusal of donuts is the true offense in this scenario.

I can read pages and pages of Freep posts, listen to hours and hours of right-wing talk radio, but Peter Daou posts... Those are the ones that hurt my brain.

Like if there was centrist talk radio with Peter Daou and Joy Reid you couldn't pay me to listen to it.

it's all about diversion and minimization

by presenting the least important grievance as unjustified and completely ignoring all the other grievances, they can essentially erase those grievances, at least in the eyes of anyone who finds them credible and hears the story from them first

by blasting it out on all cylinders from every bad Dem booster, they're hoping to get their version of the story out to as many people as possible before the real version can get any traction outside of lefty twitter

you're misunderstanding the headline

quote:

But there’s another story here that’s less about Harris than it is about the way people are responding to her critics. And it’s part of a larger story in which a chorus of outraged pseudo-woke liberals use accusations of racism and sexism and smears like “Bernie Bro,” and the “Alt Left” to distort the actual Left into a movement of straight, white, men. The narrative ignores women and people of color or pathologizes them as self-loathing or tools of the patriarchy. Universal programs like single payer health care or even economic justice itself are discredited as inherently racist and sexist. Using the language of social justice, these liberals punch left at the very programs and policies that empower the people they claim to champion.

it's was an incredibly stupid violation of their source, which given the intercept's history of protecting important whistleblowers seems suspicious

basically it's either stupidity or malice, or all reality winner's fault if you're a poster here
