DR. DON's RX FOR FIGHTING FASCISM
Autopsy Says Corporate Capture, Support for Genocide Were Key Factors in Democrats’ 2024 Disaster
“Harris and the Democratic Party leadership prioritized the agendas of corporate donors and gambled on a centrist path, while largely abandoning working-class, young, and progressive voters.”
​
The Harris campaign also received guidance and support from corporate interests and prominent billionaires, which Cook names as a “likely factor for why more working-class voters walked away from the Democrats.”
​
“Due to these corporate influences, including from billionaire Mark Cuban and others, the Harris campaign avoided any bold policy proposals confronting corporate power, instead adopting ‘marginal pro-business tweaks to the status quo that both her corporate and progressive allies agreed never coalesced into a clear economic argument,’” Cook wrote, citing the Times.
The Case for a Third Reconstruction
The scale and depth of the attack on our institutions means that there is no simple way for a pro-democracy coalition to flip the lights back on after Trump. We need transformative thinking.
The Decline and Fall of the Heritage Foundation
Its descent into conspiracy-mongering and blatant bigotry was utterly predictable
​
“Because the truth is that Heritage has always been a fraud. It has always been a propaganda mill cosplaying as a research institution – a scam that worked for a long time. Heritage’s problem now is that its original scam was designed for a different era — a Reaganesque era in which plutocrats could discreetly leverage bigotry and intolerance to elect Republicans, who then delivered deregulation and tax cuts. Heritage was an integral cog within this scheme, giving superficial respectability to policies that were in fact deeply regressive and discriminatory, and overwhelmingly to the benefit of the moneyed class.”
