21. I have regained my speech. Two things.

Wed Jun 10, 2026, 04:04 AM

Wednesday

Trump made the elections of 2016 and 2024 all about identity. Race and gender. The Democratic candidates did NOT run on "identity politics," they both ran on strengthening the economy for the working and middle classes -- which SURPRISE does not only mean white men anxious and angry about their status and power in society. Anybody listen to Hillary and Kamala? Maybe everybody should fucking listen.

Is the Democrats-are-bad-at-messaging criticism because women are often the messengers? Needs fighting spirit man voice power? I read some of an article about the "feminization" of the party and I can't find it again.
