 Can't agree more .. I was a Bernie supporter in both 16 and 20 .. saw this unfold in front of my eyes .. 

Btw Harris is trying to invoke Bernie style passion in  through Veep pick .. but she doesn't know most Bernie bros already crossed the bridge over to conservative side.. ..thanks to #bitcoin  :-)

 The Democratic Party has an uncanny ability to create inverted talking points.
"Save democracy" while openly undermining it.
"Conservatives are weird" while supporting the strangest policies ever.

 "Conservatives are weird"

Then watch the same 🤡 sign legislation to put tampon dispensers in boys restrooms... because that's not weird. At all.

 But people now understand fake from real media ..  thanks to Trump for calling it out ... No one watches CNN , NBC , CBS anymore .. or reads NYT ... 

I still do Bloomberg for financial stuff but the moment they start politics , my brain shuts off :-)

 Plenty still seem to both hear and openly support the bullshit.

 That is true but the vaccines against "wok virus" are pretty effective  :-)   .. when people go to ballot they  leave the noise behind ... 

The reason for the noise is a vertical split   -  on multiple dimensions  ..for example 
-  base is sick of  wars - leadership is for 
-  base  is against Israel - leadership is for 
-  base is tired of inflation - leadership is focused on stock market 
-  base is worried of influx - leadership wants to open the flood gates 
-  base is done with ID politics  - leadership is still pushing the same chords

 I am not judging "right or wrong" on any of the issues I mentioned - all I am saying the party is in total chaos ..  the same thing reflects at the top of the tickets - no credible name wanted to throw in their hat against Trump2024 ... so you have what you have ! I wouldn't be surprised if RFK pulled more popular votes out of dem base than the coronation :-)  

On the other side - you have a party united under one banner. The message is clear  and everyone is aligned  - again no judgement on wrong or right - because no one knows the future ..but the game is not about being right or wrong  - it is about the organization .. better organized wins and is likely to take correct decisions as and when needed ..
