In an election season where the democrats attempted to pass super cruel border policies, courted dick and Liz Cheney endorsements, told their Muslim demographic to fuck off, and tried their hardest to shy away from identity politics, it blows my mind people are blaming the democrats for being "too far left wing."

The Democrats are not "too far left" they are in the middle and the GOP is a populist right party currently. The "left" does not exist in the USA outside of the Green Party and Bernie Sanders. I doubt the Republicans will put any efforts into actually balancing the budget under Trump. Lately I've been more and more convinced by Modern Monetary Theory and don't think the national debt is necessarily as big of a deal as some people make it seem.

linking to the reasons kamala lost. all the polling spits out some variations of this. the idea that being too tough on immigration or too supportive of Israel or not invested enough in identity politics is pure leftist delusion at odds with empirical reality https://warpcast.com/mjc716/0x8c3df294

I think both parties played identity politics this campaign season. The way I see it is this. Bernie tried in 2016 and 2020 to bring the party back to its place as the party of the working class. The establishment wing of the party didn't like his insurgent candidacy and colluded together both times to sweep him under the rug and install their chosen veteran party hack. Biden was the last gasp of showing love for the working class with his pro union efforts. With Trump's win the Republicans are now sorta the party that gives more attention to working class demands, whether this is just lip service or maybe somehow it actually results in some upward mobility is yet to be determined. Democrats are still the party that prioritizes social policy, but they have ceded economic policy to the GOP.

It's all red herring. The Democrats have no function anymore, The People voted to install authoritarianism. All that is left is that scene in Goodfellas where Henry explains what the Mob does while they loot that bar then burn it to the ground. The project of US corporations subsuming the nation state is complete. It is now impossible to ascertain the power structure. Who is the mob boss? Trump? Musk? Putin? Xi? Dimon or Fink or Buffet? One thing is certain, no information will be reliable for a hot minute at least.
