At the top of his first speech as her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz turned to Vice President Kamala Harris and declared, “Thank you for bringing back the joy.” The next day, Harris took the theme a step further, branding the Democratic ticket “joyful warriors.”
Contrast that with former President Donald Trump, who opened a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida a few days later by saying, “We have a lot of bad things coming up,” and predicting the U.S. could fall into an economic depression unseen since the dark days of 1929 or even another world war.
“I think that our country is, right now, in the most dangerous position it’s ever been in, from an economic standpoint, from a safety standpoint,” Trump said Thursday.
I haven’t been failing though? The party is much more progressive than the era of Clinton and Carter, Sanders even running in the Democratic primary would’ve been unimaginable a few decades ago, let alone him almost winning to the point where corporate dems had to pull out every single trick to try and stop it.
Even with them trying to stop Bernie, he’s the most popular politician, and his supporters now make up a large percentage of the Democratic supporters and activists.
