19. Well, not only have leaders been silent on the outright lies, they haven't been pushing party values.

Bernie has been doing that, a subset of values (I’ll copy them below) that gets to the root cause of all problems: insane concentration of wealth and the continued hand on the scale (that’s a 20 ton hand).

Bernie and AOC have had wild success with this message all over the country, and in deep red territory. But being against the wealthy pigs, OUR wealthy pigs will want to tone it down and focus on whatever issues their highly losing focus groups come up with.

Problem:

A grassroots revolution is needed for the party to win.

Solution:

From Bernie:

People attending rallies in huge numbers are saying
YES to raising the minimum wage,
YES to expanding Social Security,
YES to guaranteeing health care as a human right,
YES to cutting the cost of prescription drugs,
YES to paid family and medical leave,
YES to equal pay for equal work,
YES to more affordable housing,
YES to making childcare and higher education affordable to all,
YES to taking on the existential threat of climate change.

And most importantly they are saying
YES to a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.


People mostly want change. Kamala was seen as “more of the same” (no matter HOW DAMN GOOD THAT WAS!) Give them change. Change from the elephant in the room, insane concentration of wealth.

That’s the disease. It causes all the side problems. And people are media-ized to focus on the side problems, and hot button issues,



because the media are owned by the cause.

And who won by attacking the media THAT SUPPORTED HIM AND NORMALIZED HIS NAZI PROJECT AND PERSONAL CORRUPTION?

Anyway, I spell it out at the link above.
