This is so well put. Leaders of both parties allowed a steady erosion of safeguards against wealth inequality and monopolies so that an increasing portion of the potential electorate is struggling to get by. Michael Podhorzer recently wrote that Democrats lost because too many had given up on their ability to deliver needed change. Potential voters staying at home was a vote of no confidence in Democrats by low information voters or those struggling too hard to pay attention to the rest of us trying to warn them. Brick by brick, year by year, we came apart at the seams.

Added several hours later: Voting expert Greg Palast wrote a guest piece in The Hartmann Report, stating that he would testify in court that Trump lost and that Republicans only defeated Harris through voter suppression on steroids. This is very convincing and sickening. https://hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-c6f?r=dpmrd&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
